OK, my new phone is on its way. I am checking the tracking obsessively. It's in Northampton! And it needs a name...

It is a Nokia 5800. Perhaps something Viking-y, given the nationality of the manufacturer? The little wrist strap and plectrum combo doesn't half look like a devil's tail, too. Something demonic? Do we know of any Finnish demons?

For reference, other named appliances in this household include my laptop (McGruder) desktop (Frankenputer) and Car (Kaligula).

Suggestions in the comments, please!

ETA: OOOOOOO it's in Tamworth!

other named appliances in this household include my laptop ("The Laptop") desktop ("My Login") and Car ("The Ka").

Corrected for accuracy of usage there darlin'...

I suggest that it will mostly be referred to as "your phone" and occasionally as "my phone" (by you) or "that damned thing" by others, especially LiznMark...

It's Finnish. It's demonic. It's probably going to be very loud. I dub your new phone "Mr. Lordi".

I like Mielikki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mielikki), if for no other reason than its fun to pronounce. Either say it "My-licky" or "Me-Licky" and you've got hours of fun right there!

plus as its say on wikipedia:

"...it was thought very important to stay on her good side."

Surely made for you.

It's a rather snazzy looking phone. Do tell how you get on with it, mine's up for being chucked in February...

ps- it's really weird only having 3 icons.

Is it there yet? Is it? Is it?
You'll have to do an intarwebs post from your shiny new phone.
The sideways keyboard thing is So Nifty. I found I could just about type normally.

And, what's her name?
