Ok, well, the new linux install failed, couldn’t get it to boot from grub no matter what I did. Shall leave THAT problem for another day.

In other news, I’ve finally replaced my iphone. It has been replaced by the lowly nokia 7210, and (to be delivered shortly) a sansa fuze.

The Nokia 7210 SuperNova is quite a nice phone, and for only $159 (from AllPhones), its quite the bargain. Only a Series 40 phone, but thats all I need. Only thing I miss is wifi, I liked sshing in to my comp from random places :P Would now cost a fortune over gprs. I’ve already mistakenly clocked up $13.86 in GPRS charges, it seems that its $1.32 per something - more than a minute, and can’t be more than per 10KB….. Trying to figure out how to disable it permanently on the phone, and even get it barred on the carrier side. So far have found no relevant menu options :(

With any luck, I’ll be able to get rockbox going on the fuze, but thats still to be delivered (and investigated).
