Cav's Place

My phone is now 15 years old. Or, more exactly, at least 15, since I also mentioned five years ago that what I know is that it’s been in use since the Christmas of 2002, but it’s possible that it was actually purchased slightly earlier. What I could remember about that, and also how and when Andra gave it to me, is in that post, so no point in typing those few lines again.
Also no point in mentioning the problems it’s been having again, since they’re also in that post and haven’t changed much. It sometimes behaves oddly when it stays plugged in after it finishes charging, but I’m not sure that wasn’t already happening back then, so the only thing that clearly got worse is that the thing that holds the back cover in place also broke at some point, so now it’s held together by a rubber band. Found a store claiming to have both a cover and a battery for it, both very cheap, at some point, but after making the order they informed me that they didn’t actually have either, so that matter was dropped. Batteries for this old model seem to be available at specialized stores, or at least were available back then, but for way more, and had also found somebody selling the back of a case, but couldn’t quite justify that expense either, plus that, since the whole point is that I have it from Andra, changing the case would significantly lessen its significance in that way and I’d likely be better off getting a new one and keeping this somewhere, just as one of the few things I still have from her.
And that’s about it. After getting it past ten and then 12 years, the next target I had set for myself was 15. Had some plans for this milestone, but what, if anything, will come of those will remain to be seen. So the only point of this post was to mark the moment and I did that; anything else will have to wait for some other post, whether later this week or, well, next year.
