Surrounded by Nokias, Blackberries and Sonys once again

AAAAAAAND BREATHE. DEEPLY.

WOOOSAHH.

WOOOSAHH.

That’s be back in mobile civilisation. I’ve just arrived into Dublin. Got a few people to meet here then I’m off to London later today. All of a sudden I am back in (a degree of) mobile nirvana.

No vegetarian breakfasts (I’m trying to be healthy). They’ve run out of vegetarian sausages. But, I was offered a real sausage instead. I had to do a double take. This, after waiting 20 minutes for a table at the breakfast brasserie here in Dublin airport. Oh how I miss proper service.

The beeping, chirruping began before I got off the plane. Top of the range Blackberries mingled with high end Nokias, Samsungs and Sony Ericssons. Mobile data is everywhere. I’ve spotted four people using laptops and data cards or USB modems here in this restaurant alone.

After spending almost three months on the American West Coast where mobile handsets are almost universally used for talking.

I’m enjoying the contrast, I really am.

Not a RAZR in sight either.
