I've reached the part of the day where I fantasize about taking six months off and spend my time gardening.

Attempting to construct an argument that will convince Sidekick to get a smartphone instead of the flip phone she currently SMS bombs me with.

Offered to buy her anything she wanted but to no avail.

…I do have a Windows Mobile phone with a LED barcode scanner that is running Windows Mobile 5. That'd be a fun joke device to carry around.

It's my only real option. I was sort of looking for an excuse to code something up in Jellybean though. Just for giggles.

You can throw the thing on the floor, bounce it off desks, etc. It's a brick. Dual sim. Screen is pretty sharp for how old it is. And, yes, it looks like it should be running Windows Mobile 5 and have a place for a stylus.

It just so gloriously weird

Yep. The big drawback is Android 4.3 which means non of the apps for pnut will work on it. I'd have to write my own

I might start using the Mann ZUG 3 for grins and giggle. This thing is a brick.

Getting used to using a Android phone again.

This is going to be a uphill battle until I break down and get something better than a HTC Desire 610

I use it before compressing VirtualBox VM drives.
