It’s always nice to spend some money. To treat yourself on some of the finer things in life. For me those things are electronics. The two electronics that I have cherished the most, is my iPod and my cell phone. Well it was about that time that I upgraded both.
My first purchase was a new phone. My previous phone was a Sony Ericsson K700i. Normally I hate Sony products because of their proprietary memory cards and accessories, but the design and interface of the phones are awesome. Since it was time to upgrade and since I enjoyed my last one so much I bought another Sony. I did my research and bought the K530i. It has everything thing(almost) my K700i had, but so much more. For starters it is a 3G phone, and for those who don’t know what that it(Mom) it’s high speed internet on the phone. With 3G I can access my email, google maps, and search engines(google). I can do video calling since it has a camera on the front. The only problem is that I don’t know anyone with a 3G phone, so I haven’t tested it out yet. It also comes with a 2MP camera on the back, which takes decent photos. Here is a picture:

My next upgrade was for my iPod Mini. I bought it on May 4, 2005, and it has served its purpose. It has survived through one battery change, once being dropped in the toilet(not full), and multiple drops. It still works, but I needed more than the 6gb it offered. Apple finally released a new version of their classic iPod so I bought one of them. It’s all black, and has a whopping 80gb storage(73gb after format). This one has a full color screen(as opposed to the half color screens), and can play videos. While the screen is a tad small to watch full length movies, it’s nice for short clips from YouTube or Frostfox Films. I have only filled about 40gb so far, so this time I am not worried about running out of space. I’ll run out of hard drive space first, but that’s cool, since I need a reason to buy more. Here it is:

I also got some new clothes, but we can talk about that on a day I’m feeling more gay.

I recently also did this, I upgraded my Nokia to an HTC TyTNII (which is also 3/3.5G), and my iRiver to an iPod Touch 16G. Rock!

I also recently upgraded from my old iPod Mini, though I opted to go for the 8gb iPod Nano 3G. I decided I’d rather stick with a smaller size and less capacity. The main justification for upgrading though was so I could watch the Practical Audio-Visual Chinese videos.

@Poagao, I would have bought the iPod Touch, but I think I’d rather wait till the second generation so they can work out all the bugs.
@James, For the value, the classic was a better deal. I also have like 50g of music and my Mini pissed me off since it was so small. Hook a brother up with those Chinese videos though.
