I am a fan of shiny gadgets. Actually, I like everything shiny except lip gloss. Recently, after more than a year with an Apple iPhone 3G I decided it were time to upgrade my phone.

Then the difficulty of life started: what upgrade to get? How will I be able to top the experience of the iPhone? There certainly can not be a better smartphone, user experience. Do I really want an iPhone 3GS? Actually I do want to wait for the NEXT iPhone, without then having to break the bank to get that model.

I started thinking and realised that 98% of my communication is done online. I am reachable by almost any online protocol, whether email, IM, Skype or Google Wave. My decision was helped by the fact that I had already sold my iPhone before even having shortlisted other models.

Here I am now, in my second day without mobile phone. Will I survive it? Read the complete journal here or follow the last 10 updates in the sidebar, complete with spontaneous status updates related to living without phone, a life without mobile phone in 2009.
