Mobile Phones

I got a mobile phone a few weeks ago. I had to – the place where I live has no phone. I didn’t get one of those picture phones but the phone I got (it’s a lovely Nokia 3100) does have limited access to the Internet.

Now, I can’t use it for too much. Checking my email is beyond its abilities, but I have found a couple very useful things.

First, I can check the weather forecast. So, if I’m planning a trek into London, I can see what the weather is like before I get there.

Second, I can check the train schedules. Arrivals, departures, last train to leave, trains arriving before a specific time…it’s great.
