The Phone from Hell

October 14th, 2003 · 3 Comments

It could well be superstitious, but it couldn’t be anything else. I have isolated the reason. I am talking about my newly acquired Ericsson R520m.

I started using it as my normal mobile phone to make sure that it is working before the 7 days warranty expires. I actually like it very much. However, since using it, there has been nothing but bad luck. Major screw up at work, very painful and swollen knee, flu and fever, 5 hours waiting in Emergency Dept at Tuen Mun Hospital (I went to my GP first, who recommended me to go the Emergency Dept.)

I have gone back to my trusty T68i. Hopefully things will be better. The R520m is destinated in the cold server room.
