Best Wishes to your mum, and that looks like a really nice phone!

I had to chuckle when you said "The United Statesians always spell everything weirdly and use funny strange units from the medieval times!", because I know exactly what you mean. I grew up with those old Imperial measures, but after 5 years as an expat, it's always a jolt to see things in feet and inches; I honestly have to stop and think about it now.

The phone I use here in Argentina is cave, a simple model with a grossly inadequate 4 gigs of memory, which is a real pain in the ass, since most apps cannot be installed to the SD card. Then again, I don't worry about having my phone stolen; no self-respecting thief would bother.
