Living la vida future

[Panoramic of my desk] [1] [2]

Woot!

Earlier last week Spring [3] mentioned something about our cell phone plan allowing us to get new phones for free. I wasn't interested unless one of the new free phones came with a camera.

There was—the Sony Ericsson Z520a [4].

One of the features is the “panoramic picture” (as you can see above), which is something that my current camera can't do.

But like all digital cameras, it tends to suck in low light conditions, as you can see from my first photo I took:

And with no camera mount, it'll be difficult to take low-light shots with this thing. But hey, it's a camera, in a phone. It's the future, now.

Now all I want is my flying car.

Don't bother getting one of these phones. While the features are nice, they're quite fragile [7] and the display is prone to wig out if dropped.
