Phone Obituary

No I'm not being over the top because my phones died. It's perfectly alright. But my current work has me writing an obituary for my phone. 


After doing some basic research, looking at other peoples obituaries, I figured some key things to include were:


- Achievements 
- Capturing an air to their personalty 
- General insight to their work (for the achieved) 


Personally I'd like to include: The struggle it had at beating older models, however nothing can beat a good Nokia 3310. 
The PA and social aspects, life saving for waking up and when you can't remember anything. The memories, conversations call times pictures. 
I also want to be able to relate it's need for someone to listen (the MP3 aspect). Making it somewhat more human.  


Have managed to put my old phone through a washing machine, thinking someone had stollen it, I was left feeling very isolated, nothing to save me from those awkward situations when your waiting for someone and want to look busy. Digital social saviour. This however didn't last long and I got my slightly soggy phone back which was then to endure being put in an oven, and getting throughly abused by sand. 


At the moment I'm struggling on how to start. Rather backwards approach I've got all the content and I'm looking to find a name, I was going to use the model number but it's somewhat impersonal for something that knows a hell of a lot about my life. So I might  indulge and call it Leon for this purpose. 


For my never obsolete phone.
