Blogtober day 30 - flashback Friday

I got a new phone yesterday. A nice new shiny Galaxy S something-or-other (I am very much a droid girl) and it got me thinking about how far phones have come in the last few years. Now, did I have any photos of old phones? I didn't think so until I remembered the Overlooked Project. Overlooked was a scrapbooking series that hoped to document the everyday and one of the prompts was the contents of your handbag. So in May 2008 this was mine.

Ha! What a great wee snapshot! A baby Goya (Chook's sooky blanket), the best Urban Decay make up and, yes, my phone!

I loved that wee Sony Ericsson, it was my first internet capable phone and my last non-smart one. I am finding it hard to believe it was only 8 years ago at Christmas that I got it, it looks so archaic and like a brick now!!

  2. Wow you were internet capable on your phone back in 2008? I'm sure my last phone was a hybrid of the touchscreen and keypad variety and that was the first that was internet ready. But I'm sure I didn't have it way back then!

  3. We went to a communications exhibit at Amberley Museum last week, they had most of my old phones in the display of old fashioned stuff - feeling ancient!!!

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
