My phone is a Nokia 6108 - the one whose keypad is a flap that opens up to reveal a PDA-style touch pad.
Now from abuse the joints supporting the keyboard have cracked, and the keypad cannot be opened up for the fear that it may come off and goodness, it's so hard to put it back.
Anyway I didn't forewarn my mother, and she opens it... gasp the whole number pad comes off, including the thin, fragile strip of wire that sends signals from the keypad to the phone's computer.
With that the keypad is condemned.
I have to carry two phones to the concert, as I am not able to transfer all my contacts into my SIM card for immigration to the new phone, so the old phone is just there for reference's sake.
Before the concert begins I switch off both phones to prevent radio frequencies from interrupting the amps that have been put on stage.
During intermission I turn on both phones... SHIT I CAN'T KEY IN MY SECURITY CODE INTO THE OLD PHONE. Remember I said the keypad has been TOTALLY condemned.
I have no choice but to switch SIM cards, otherwise people will not be able to get through to me. With that I lose about tw0-thirds of my contacts, because I only manage to save a little names and numbers each time I copy from the phone to the SIM card.
So I finally get to use my new 3250 phone. I can set "Defying Gravity" as my ringtone and I shall start taking more photos from now on.
But I cannot get over the fact that I have done such a stupid thing of turning off the 6108 that I lose all my contacts and have to go through the hard and difficult way of retrieving them back again.
I can really kick myself...
