My phone is still "2G" too, I think.
Not a problem because all I need to do is make calls, send texts and play Snake on an infrequent basis. I don't even have it turned on half the time. I have considered updating to one of those flashy 3G phones everyone has but I read in New Scientist this week that by 2013, there'll be so much mobile traffic, what with everyone Tweeting and watching kittens on YouTube, that all the networks will collapse under the weight and the economy will go into a panic and global mass hysteria will break out and everything will catch fire and die. Or maybe they'll find a way of shifting the traffic onto the Internet and it won't be a problem.

For a long time, my mother had one of those bricks with an extendable ariel and a screen which could only display 40 letters at a time, much like those you might find at an Austrian train station.
