Dring! Dring!

Whee! My purple and black phone has arrived!

I have tested it out with the help of my mobile, and it works perfectly. Outgoing calls take about a minute to make, as you wait for the dial to rotate back round to its starting position after each number. But hell - when I was a kid, that was all part of the ritual of making a phone call. And when I tried it out in the other direction, and heard it ring for the first time, I actually jumped up and down with excitement! It sounds like a real phone. *nostalgic and slightly manic grin*

In pre-emptory celebration, I made a new icon of it a couple of days ago, which I now introduce here. This will also shortly become my new sms_to_lj icon. It replaces Sophia Loren on the phone, which is sad, but I'm going to make a new Sophia icon soon and slot her in in place of one of the ones I don't really use, so she won't be lost forever.

Meanwhile, trying out my phone myself is all very well, but obviously nothing like as exciting as getting a Real Phone Call^(TM). So if anyone is a bit bored, call me - please? Landline number is here.

I have a fake 700 series phone which came from Argos a couple of years ago - it has touch tone buttons in the style of the rotary dial. Your phone is fantastic!

I am very jealous of your new phone! And it's purple as well!

I loved those phones as a kid. I had hours of fun just dialling random numbers...

Oooh...best phone EVER :)

I shall attempt to ring you tonight if I can, it'll probably be some point after 8pm, but it all depends on whether my sister nabs the phone - she can be on for literally hours at a time. But I shall do my best! :)
