Okay, for some reason my Sony Ericsson T610 has decided on acting up. I'm even unable to enter the PIN to log in, as the keyboard seems to be completely messed up.

For some reason I think it is water-related, maybe I've written one too many text-messages while just getting out of the shower, maybe I have managed to spill water on it otherwise. My technical instinct says water anyways.

Of course Kenneth is happy about this, as he sells cellphones.

I don't use anything but a cellphone, and I never will again probably, there is no use mixing a landline and a cell. But in a situation like this I'm glad I have multiple cellphones. I ordinarily keep the other one, a Nokia with a twin SIM, in the car for the handsfree, but seems like I will be using it for backup at least for the rest of the day untill the stores opens tomorrow. Who knows, maybe the other one works by then, I haven't had problems with it before, so it could be temporary. But then again it has become some years by now.

Update
A little time and some re-charging of the phone and it started working again.

An acquaintance of mine is in the watch-business, and in that regard we were visiting one of the importers for several nice watches in Norway.

Eterna watches like Kon-Tiki and Porsche was on the list of watches on display and of which I tried some. The one I liked the most was from Porsche design. It was 18K carat gold and had a store-price of about 17,000 USD.

PGC Rosé Gold Automatic Chronograph with crocodile strap
The casing is made of 18-carat rosé gold. The PGC version of the Dashboard range is dynamic and modern with Arabic numerals.
It features a Kaliber Eta 2894-2 clockwork automatic mechanism with self-winding capability. Its rotor vanes are made of robust titanium combined with black-painted heavy metal. Through them, the key components of the clockwork mechanism can be viewed. The sapphire glass base reveals the unusual rotor system. The crown and base of the casing are screwed on. A tachometer scale features scratch-resistant sapphire glass, anti-glare treated on both sides. Optional with rubber strap.

Water resistance: up to 100 m depth

That was the cheap one. I also tried an expensive one, which was engrossed with diamonds all around. This was on display from Porsche Design, and the owner of the store wouldn't inform me of the price of it.

The casing is made of 18-carat rosé gold, the bezel is jewelled with 64 diamonds. The PGC version of the Dashboard range is classic and purely modern with a perfectly untrammeled design.
