So far in my life, a cellphone (or is it cell phone?) never survives. I try to be careful and I try to treat it with loving hands. I guess big paws are not easy on delicate things. Regardless my cellphones seem to die an untimely death, be it my fault or someone else fault, such as when I was hit by the truck 4+ years ago…
Sveta seems to be able to use a single phone for all her life, though I did replace a case on her phone, after she cracked the cover. But still it worked for her even with the crack in the case…
So as I say goodbye to one more phone and toss its carcass in the never-never land of a big box. I look at my next victim. A Texet tm-511r, a phone that is supposed to survive water, a 5 story fall from a building and many other things. It did not survive being beat with a hammer directly upon its exterior, but I think that I will refrain from smashing it with a hammer, not even I am that terrible acting toward a cellphone…
Therefore, under 3000 rubles and guaranteed for a year by the factory, which is a Russian company and that may just give me an advantage to keep a phone going for more than a few months at a time…
It has a 2700 мАч battery, which gives it about 24 hours of talk time and 7 weeks of standby time. That is important to me, for we travel a lot and charging is not always easy to do. It has Russian and English language only and a Russian and English keypad. As the company says, “Made for Russians!”
We will see. I hope it makes it, for it really feels good in the hand and has good reception, sound and is solid as a rock…
I am going to cross my fingers this time; oops better not for that will make it easier for me to drop…
