With impeccable timing my mobile phone decided to die on me just as I became eligible for an upgrade this week. Having seen Kevin’s identical phone die in the same way some months back I recognised the signs and quickly backed up all my photos and contacts from it on Friday. The one upside of this sudden failure was that it gave me the excuse I needed to upgrade to an iPhone this morning –something I’ve been hankering after for some time (much to Kevin’s disappointment – he wanted to get one first!).

The rest of today has been occupied with a rehearsal so when I returned home this evening I still had to take my photo for the day. I tried taking a shot of the phone itself but failed to capture one I liked so I decided instead to use the phone’s camera to shoot my favourite subject of choice – Gracie! This must be the lowest resolution and least sharp shot I’ve ever posted on Photoblog but I think it nicely captures Gracie’s relaxed demeanour while lounging on the sofa and, considering the duff light I took it in, I think the camera acquitted itself quite well. It’s not up to DSLR standards but at least I can go to bed knowing I’ve managed to post something for today!

They are great little gadgets Helen. You will have lots of fun with it. Latecomer · 2010-03-01: 00:02

The Greeks say με γεá¼°α - loosely: "enjoy" - when someone acquires a something new, so I hope you have fun with your iPhone. I recognised image quality before I read the text! Sennheiser does a fantastic earphone+mic combo, but it's pricey. I haven't been at all impressed by any of the so-called 'photo' apps for the iPhone, but there are some great free utilities out there. revenant · 2010-03-01: 02:18
