Now I've mentioned how important having a great camera phone is to new moms. I'd bought my current phone 2 months after Jack was born and missed out on good hi-def video and pictures I could have taken.

For a long while now, I've been admiring the Sony Ericsson W880i (see pic on left). Yes, that beautiful thing.

I remember its picture screaming out at me in magazine ads and swooned over its gorgeous sleek black design and sweet orange buttons. Hubby had to wipe my drool off our copy of Stuff. As much as I love functionality, I adore heart-stopping gadget designs. But before I spend pages waxing lyrical about its beauty, I must mention its amazing specs.

It is tri-band (yay when I travel), has 3G and Bluetooth, a must-have for all mobile surfing gadget freaks like me, a digital cam for taking quick snaps, a cool music player integrated with Walkman^TM technology, a free 1GB memory card, long battery life, and it is astonishingly light to boot (9.5mm thick and 72 grams in weight).

Basically it can do everything my phone can (and more - mine doesn't have tri-band). Plus it is sleeker, way better looking, and fits perfectly in my jeans pocket and does not make that unsightly bulge.

My mobile contract is due for a renewal soon. Perhaps it is time to get a brand new phone. :)
