Hi,
Have you bought anything recently that you really regret buying?
I got myself a new cell phone a few weeks ago. I was happy with my old cell phone, but it was about 7 years old and the battery kept going flat so I decided it was time to get a new one. I really don't want to get a smart phone because I can't stand the fact that they don't have a proper key board, just a screen you have to swipe.
When I got to the phone shop I found that there was a huge selection of smart phones and i-phones, but a choice of two non-smart phones. (Should that be dumb-phones?) The choice was a model for kids, in pastel colours with Disney characters, or a model for old people, with big fat buttons and huge text.
I went for the old people phone, but the darn thing is driving me nuts. All I want to do is be able to call people and send text messages, but it was designed by a crazy person. I can't make draft copies of messages, can't find a way to switch from Japanese to English mid-text (Important if all of your friends speak both languages) can't set the alarm, can't turn of the vibrate mode, can't change a dozen other things I don't like about it.
I miss my old phone.
How about you, any purchasing regrets lately?
