Of Technologies, Mobile, & Brands

Shuzhen smsed me saying her phone got prob, so it means tt they also didnt solve her prob... So i told her, next time, spend alittle more money n get a better phone...

Then she exclaimed, NOKIA NOT LIKE TT!!!

Lol, then i said, NOKIA worst lor!!!, then i continued ur Nokia also spoilt wat!!! Anyways, its heng suay one bah, my fren use ur phone for near 2 yrs liao, no prob... And my phone, other users haf never encountered my prob...

Something like tt... So it prompted me to write tis entry...

I haf problems buying mobiles, coz arh, the more ppl u noe, u'll realised all the brands kena condemned already, which unless its O2 (clean reputation) , or those duno wat brand tt ppl didnt even feel its worth to mention...

I myself started with Panasonic donkey yrs ago... I paid a huge sum for it, (mobiles were rather cheap then, so e amt i paid was huge), i paid near $400 for it (GD 92? 95? 97? Cant remember, the one wif the multi color screens n customised caller id, one of its kind then, e lightest phone then too), jus when it dropped to $200 jus a week later... GOD DAMN IT!!! Plus, i even bought an extra batt ($90 for the lion lithium duno wat, Nokia was using e older kind then, which spoils easily but very cheap)... I haf something about batt too, i wil usually make sure i haf extra batt... Luckily my current one free one more... Lol...

I bought it coz it so cool... Wahahahah, for young ppl actually... During tt time, if u haf tt panasonic phone its like such a cool thing, coz its one of its kind, and Nokia was still ugly and huge... But of coz, i didnt buy it coz of it... I bought it coz i like the phone, its sleek, light, small...

Then of coz, i encountered tonnes of prob wif it... Sent for repair and yet didnt work... But ultimately e prob was solved when they finally changed the whole motherboard inside my mobile...

I then changed to another newer Panasonic phone (e 1st color phone for Pana) then, which was said for Designers!!! Muahahahah... I was in poly yr 1 already then... My 1st color phone anyways, if u dun already noe, i haf tis thing wif colors too... I wanted to buy Samsung's 1st color phone though, which was condemned by ppl like crazy... Telling me dun waste money... And the phone is huge too!!! Coz Samsung was like new in the business in sg...

The phone did not haf any prob, jus abit stiff wif the keypads...

Then i later on got smittened by Samsung T500, which i saw too late and normal hp shops dun sell anymore... So i went to authorised dealers and got it at $800... Very small, got crystals somemore!!! And can put pictures, again, not alot of phones can do tat then...

But of coz, i stood on tt phone for a long time till every phone outdated mine, and ppl kept laughing at my old phone... Lol... I stood by it even though all those cool phones wif cam or watevernot came into e market, n everybody is having a better phone than me... Haha...

Coz simply, i love my phone and i couldnt find any tt beats it... I am not into heavy features coz i think its goin to cause probs...

Even my colleagues complained seeing my phone is an eye sore!!! :(

And then, i stumbled on my current phone... Touch screen phone tts smaller than PDA phones(though huge compared to my prev phones), lesser PDA features, looks gd enuff, coz got white, i got tis thing about white phones (all my phones n cam r white) and touch screen... And best of all, at an affordable crazy price... Duno $400 or 400+ forgot...

Only prob is its MOTOROLA!!! And i dun like motorola... Then again, i also duno wat i liked... Ppl condemned Motorola, Samsung, Sony Errisson, etc... Nokia no need to say, its always at the bottom... I heard Motorola is damn not userfrendly...

Personally, i felt Nokia caused its own death by being so commercialised... Refusing to solve their bugs, (or cant?)... Then again, so are the rest...

Actually before tt, i at many times wanted to stay wif Samsung, i wanted to get one tt i like, but e review was so bad it turned me off... And also, Samsung was a popular brand then, but of coz, everybody complained about it... I also considered back Panasonic, jus tt their phones were ugly until jus recently...

My sis was a Nokia and Sony E user, she changed 8 phones within 2 yrs plus, so i noe the phones...

Then like no choice liao leh, even though O2 was e thing then, and alot of rich chaps all switched to it... But i duno wanna spend 1000 bucks n a PDA phone, simply i dun need all those features, it'll jus go to waste...

Thus, my current phone was e best for me... And i still love it, even though i still haven like Moto yet... It has more than enuff things for me than i needed... Its external slot can hold up to 2GB, a speakers phone, play mp3, got radio, got fancy handwriting features which i love like hell, can view any office files, and its LINUX OS!

Even though it has one prob, but i had already managed to counter it... So i can live wif tt...

E only prob is i cant change phone already... Coz i cannot switch back to a non touch screen phone, I JUST CANT!!! I cant dwngrade anymore... I am pampered!!! Lol... And i dun wanna upgrade to PDA phones... So i am stuck in between, and i dun think they will come out wif any tis kind of range of phones in e market... Bek Cek...

Nvm lah, see how it goes...

Shuzhen was saying she wans a realiable phone, if got sell black n white phone, she dun mind buying... But i said, unfortunately phones nowdays no matter wat brand (even O2 got alot of prob lor) all not reliable anymore... They haf shorter life spans compared to old ones... Coz of all the features they tried to pack into it, more bugs and technology itself will phase out...

Tis is something inevitable so we got to live wif it... Especially in our so called IT ERA... I pity those who hate to spend alot on gadgets, but still got to get it coz its inevitable... Shuzhen is like tt, it will kill her to spend so much on a stupid hp, for me, i dun mind spending alot if i found one tt i really really really like... So i dun mind...

And i am a very easily bored person, i wan to see new things, and i wan to haf new phones after some time, tts if i can find something tt i like...

Same thing wif computers... I always prided myself for using a Pentium Pro and 96 MB Ram, 4GB of hard disk space, no writer, up till the mid of my year 2 in poly... Can u imagine how i used my softwares then? Lol, i can even run 3dsmax...

And its Pentium Pro leh!!! Not Pentium 1!

And its so fast and run all my prgrams smoothly... I haf aBsolutely no prob wif it... Which is of coz, until i cannot forcefully install e new softwares in it anymore... I reluctantly changed to Pentium 4 then... Which gave me so much prob even till today...

Aiyo, so long liao... Anways, going to the company to give some trainin tmr then can get my money le!!!

Ciao~
