The case for the new phone arrived today, so I have transferred the sim over and it has been given Primary Phone status. My preferred alarm app is installed and alarms set, hopefully it wakes me up at the right time for work tomorrow.

I don't know why, but I'm always a bit reluctant to use new things for a while - some sort of combination of wanting the familiarity of what I am used to and being scared I will wear out the new thing and it won't be special any more.

I can relate to this so much! Feels a bit too precious.. Too suspicious as well... must observe it and occasionally bat it around like a nervous cat first.
