RE: Oslo downtown #1
Oh, it's the cheapest cellphone I could find in the shop after losing my phone previous time. :-)

That's so funny! I had to promise my husband that I would get a bright neon pink phone case for my new phone after I lost my previous phone so I could see it if I dropped it or left it somewhere. I'm so not a pink person. Give me black every time!
Pink wouldn't help much, as I lost it in the sea :-) A Finnish Jolla phone, can't find more of those :-(
The previous phone was an Indian Intex Aquafish, I was very happy with it and it was bright red. It was even labelled with my name on it - and I lost it while sledding in Korketrekkeren two years ago - had big hopes of finding it again, but ... no :-(
I once had a pink wrist-watch-telephone that I ordered from China. I'm color blind, I just clicked "order" on some telephone that I considered to be "off-white" on DealExtreme. (It was definitively a cool thing, unfortunately the usb charging cable was nonstandard and broke, so it only worked for me for some months. Even had a camera, but the quality was extremely poor. I remember using it as a bluetooth mp3 player and listening to podcasts, but the bluetooth range was so poor that the reception sometimes fell out, I had to keep my hand on my belly ...).
Ok - the last on made me laugh!

I seems that not even a leash like surfers wear to tether their boards to their ankle would be adequate to keep your phone from straying. Usually the cheaper and less happy you are with the product the longer it lasts - not even that works for you!
Before the Intex I had my first Jolla. I was trying to attach the mooring ropes to the boat while standing on land ... but it's difficult to do that without also pushing the boat a bit ... so eventually the distance between the boat and land got too big. I ended up hanging in the ropes. This was in the summer or autumn, not so cold water, but ... I was wearing an inflatable life west, and those CO2 patrons for the wests costs really a lot, so I didn't want the west to get wet. I got help to remove the west, and then I dropped myself and started swimming. Only when I got to land I came to think about the telephone ... damn! I did not lose it, but It did not survive the salt water bath.
You may be on to something.
I was living quite much on hotels in my previous job, and what I discovered is that I tended to be more happy with cheaper hotels. My expectations were simply too high with the more expensive hotels; I tended to get annoyed with everything that wasn't perfect,
I understand about the hotels. There is a certain standard that you expect when you pay the higher price.
