Ready to Kill My Xperia!

In a funny (or sad) turn of events after posting my wonderful commentary on my Xperia yesterday, my Xperia got revenge on me today. My phone rang today, and  I fumbled around with it while it was in my coat pocket trying to get at it to figure out who was calling me. Now, unfortunately for me, I was doing this while I was driving because silly me didn’t put his headset on before taking off down the road. The call was from a buddy of mine, and I missed it, oh well, no big deal. But unknown to me, after I clicked the Xperia’s power button to switch it off before putting it back into my pocket, I managed to somehow turn it on again (if anyone read my last post about the phone going on in your pocket issue, they will know what this will mean, if you don’t I encourage you to read it), and in doing so, my phone managed to call my boss at work. Now normally, this wouldn’t be such a big deal either, but you see, it’s Sunday, and he’s not at work… So, I’m driving home with my wife and son in my car, chatting away about work, and five minutes later I hear a tone from my pocket, it’s the tone associate with a hung up or disconnected call. I once again fumble into my pocket to find my phone, and to my utter horror I discover that I left a five minute voice mail message for him at work of my conversations about work with my wife while driving home.

Sigh… So, what to do now… Hopefully, nothing will come of it, but I can tell you I’m about ready to toss my $800 phone out the window. I never had this type of embarassing situation occur with any other phone I’ve owned, not even my old Hitachi G1000 WinMo phone… But I won’t let this fun situation perturb me too much (unless I get fired). But it did set me off on a Google search. I figure I can’t be the only WinMo user that is suffering with this intolerable situation, and I may have found something. A freeware application exists called S2U2, a Slide Unlocker that mimic’s the way the iPhone works (a common thing nowadays). Everytime your daft WinMo device turns on, this thing appears and you have to slide a slider to unlock the phone! Genius! Go to http://www.ac-s2.com/ to download it today! I’ve already installed it and so far, I think this is the answer to my prayers and may help prevent me from destroying this phone! I’ll write about my experience in a few days.
