So, my phone has been flaky for a while. It got really bad on the weekend, it was going white screen, screaching, and then hitting a watch dog time out, and resetting. Annoying. Especially annoying while entering an sms.

I got it fixed today. New motherboard. On the upside, it has a newer revision of the operating system. The text entry prediction system is smarter, well less stupid. However, the downsides hurt. First off, all my data is gone. Phone numbers, photos, etc. And probably worse, it is now running a default moto theme instead of the one vodafone installed.

It's butt ugly. The best theme i could find on it has a selection of icons in neon pink, neon green, canary yellow, and the "matching" background image is mustard yellow. The worst instance of programmer art I've ever seen. Oh, and gradients. And fat rounded corners on the bottom of the display, but not on the top. Consistency at it's finest.

Yes, my phone now makes me feel queasy.
