All right folks, I have a confession to make: I'm a slave of modern technology. If something cool and new comes out, I just have to have it. Ok, I do not own a state of the art plasma TV or stuff like that (I am not a millionaire), but I do own 2 Pc's, 3 PDA's, 3 phones, my car is equipped with GPS, I have internet via cable (and my own network), I work with Windows, Linux and OS X, etc. etc..

So when I finally saw the brand new Sony Ericsson P800 mobile phone this weekend, I had to have it. In the US you can't get it yet, but you can pre-order the P800 here. This is the ultimate gadget: it's a phone and PDA in one and it is not half as bulky as, lets say, the XDA from O2 or has the problem its doesn't work in Europe (like the Tungsten from Palm).

Among the cool things:

- pops-up a photo of the person calling
- give every caller its own ringtone
- can play midi, wav and MP3 (as ringtones)
- polyphonic
- has full PDA capabilities
- built-in camera (max 640x480)
- Handsfree from the handset (flip it open and it turns on the mic)

And so on.

So now I start taking little pictures of all the people in my phonebook: that's one of the coolest things so far. For instance: when my office calls me, I see a picture of the building and I hear Beavis scream: "I am Cornholio, I need teepee for my bunghole".

I think the expression is: a fool with a tool is still a fool...
