I was pretty excited to receive my new cell phone today, a slick new Sony Ericsson T610 with bells and whistles; camera, bluetooth, you name it. I absolutely love it.

Sadly, there are a few problems. The phone seems to enjoy crashing, which is never a delight. I could live with that but for the fact that I get absolutely no signal inside the house. Actually, I have to walk about two blocks before I get anything resembling a signal. Not good.

I get the distinct pleasure of initiating a return and a cancellation of my day-old service contract tomorrow.
