Had to pick up a prepaid SIM card the other day (long story) and found a great deal for the price of a decent load. For about €15 on top of the cost of the SIM card, they throw in a Samsung C180 along with the equivalent minutes. Nothing special, I realize, but I can’t get over this phone.

Last time I did this a little over a year back, I got a clunky Nokia 2600 that must have been thrice the thickness and the weight. Granted, this C180 doesn’t do much more than that old Nokia, but do you see how thin this thing is? Blown away.

Oh, and the dude behind the counter kept trying to sell me on a deal that would knock some €18 or so off the total price if I traded in my old phone. He couldn’t understand why I was passing it up.

Until I had to take a call.
