We Love Free Stuff

I woke up one morning to find my Wii glowing. It was a message - Nintendo were telling me that they'd send me some free Wiimote covers. I said OK, and they arrived last week. They're quite good actually, especially for free. Shame they won't do the same with Mario Galaxy.

Then of course there was the Nokia BL5C battery recall, one of which was in my 6230i. I contacted them for a replacement, and they said they'd send me one.

It was around that time that my phone broke. I don't know what was wrong with it, but I took it back to t-mobile, who sent it away. They fixed it by replacing the 'motherboard' - by which they meant everything apart from the battery and the covers.

And now my replacement battery has arrived! So now all I need is a new cover for it, and I will have a brand new phone. For free. Right in time for me to trade up to a new model.

Still holding out for the new 8GB N95 - although there's no sign of it arriving on t-mobile. Almost tempted to move to Vodafone. Or get a lesser 3G model that would be a bit cheaper, like a Sony, or the plain N95 - that would be about a quarter of the price. Or just hold on to my 6230i until the new nokia touch screen phones start arriving next Christmas. Decisions decisions!

For your wii? That sucks, Nintendo are giving the covers away to cover themselves from lawsuits, all new wiimotes come with them apparently. I'll check the URL for ordering them when I get a chance, then you can give it a go. Even if you don't want it, it is free!
