Reviews of Phones
I'm not someone who is all about ‘looking back at the way things used to be’ but Jade’s looking back post on the blog threw me into a nostalgia daze. The post followed me rediscovering my childhood Furby (#90sbabyFOREVER) and came off the back of the new Twitter character limit - which somehow got me thinking about SMSes.

As I removed the understated cardboard box from its packaging it felt so incredibly light. In fact, when I realised the phone was actually in there I presumed there was a battery missing. Not the…
My name is Sam, though I'm also known as Tech Girl and this is my little space on the internet. My friends and I share our love for all things gaming, geek and gadgets here. I'm a South African Esports host and content creator. Links to all my various platforms are here on the blog. I'm a giant nerd, own far too many pairs of Converse and secretly wish I could be one of the X-Men!
