Before I begin my post, a quick note. Readers who come back
every day for their fix of ‘Wheelchair Boy’ would have been slightly concerned
that I broke my New Year’s promise of a post a day. I’ve managed it for two and
bit months but yesterday, realised that it’s practically impossible. Sometimes
I’m busy and it would make my life easier if I skipped a post (I end up getting
stressed otherwise). Also, my life is not always that interesting so a daily
post is not warranted. I’ll blog most days but just a warning that the subjects
I can write about run dry at times.
When it comes to changing mobile phones, there is little
choice nowadays. Pretty much all-decent handsets are touchscreen. Not a problem
to most but due to my shaky hands and lack of co-ordination, I find typing
without physical buttons extremely difficult. It took a while but I now have no
problems using with my iPad so it’s probably a case of getting accustomed to an
on-screen keyboard. However, a tablet has a larger screen compared to a mobile
so it’s no wonder I find typing on that much easier than a phone.
Obviously, there are plenty of mobiles with buttons on but
none are as good as their touchscreen competitors. The main alternative for me
back in 2012 was a Blackberry but I have realised they are awful and have many
issues such as the fact it keeps freezing all the time. All of the other handsets
with traditional keys are too basic for a young (and cool) man like me. Yes, I
want a disabled friendly phone but I still want to take pictures, access the Internet
and download apps such as Twitter and WhatsApp. Just like a normal 20 year old.
My mobile contract doesn’t come to an end in until August
but I have already begun my hunt for a new handset. It might sound ages away
but five months is actually not that long. I mean three months ago it was
Christmas and look how quickly the time has flown by. Also, It seems like
yesterday I excitedly posted about my brand new Bold 9900 but it was nearly two
years ago. Before I know it, I’ll have to get a new phone and as choosing a
product that suits me takes a lot of consideration, I thought I’d start looking
now.
Bye for now!
