Mobile phones.

I'm having my insomniac time again and Lilac popped in. She was asking about what phones I have had which brings to the blog tonight or this morning. Here it goes.

  1. Nokia 6110 - sister gave this to me and she bought in the UK. It made me the only person to have a mobile phone when I was in form 4. She bought me this phone as a gift and to ease her to get in touch as we were always away from home. This phone lasted for quite sometime until I finished my A levels. (Still in phone package for remembrance)
  2. Nokia 8310 - I thot I had to buy a new phone and I was jobless waiting for my nursing enrollment. Sister bought this phone but she didnt like it, bought from her for only $200. It was priced at $500-600 in the market at that time. (small, nice interchangeable casings) (State now - Traded in)
  3. Siemens S40 - A phone that looks like a remote controlled. Sister bought this in the USA. She gave to me as my phone was dead. Caight few attention but didnt like it very much. (state- cupboard)
  4. Nokia 6510 - Several months after I got into nursing, I started earning my own allowance. But I didnt botehr getting a new phone. However, phone got suckyas 8310 was a famous for it's hang and automatic restart problems. Phone condemned and used my sister's idle 6510 phone. Used it on alternate basis. (State - mom used it but not anymore - I dont know where it is... last seen last mth)
  5. Nokia 5100 - I got rich by earning months of allowance. I was already in Semester 2. Polyphonic ringtones were the in thing. I needed to get one. Heart fell onto 5100 and traded in problematic 8310 for $100 on the $650 5100 series. Rare species on the market as well among the users. I had it with pride until 3mths with me. Brought it to the pool and sunk in the water. (state- physically looks good but not useable, dead)
  6. Nokia 3660 - Camera phone was the next in thing. Mostly had 3650 sistership of the new generation 3660. Difference was the keypad. I like the idea of proper keypad on 3660 and better functions. So bought it on one afternoon since I like the camera. Handled it with care and love, vainity starts to erupt like volcano activity.
  7. Nokia 7610 - Sleek and modern plus it looks good on metro look. I fell in this too since it looks more sophisticated and 1mpxl camera (the first megapixeld camera on a phone). Better functions and competed with 6600 owners. I was the one of the very few in the college to have this. It was all due to hatred which led me to buying this on a last day of Ramadhan. New Soon lee Mall was newly opened. (state - sold to DingY)
  8. Sony Ericsson V800 - Era of 3G started. I thot I must follow the trend. Bought this for $970 yes.. almost $1k!!! ahaha.. Just to comply with 3G requirement. I liked this phone pretty much and it has 1.3mpxls camera. I had two phones running concurrently until 3G service started to suck. Used the phone only with GSM line while 7610 was off to DingY. I like this phone pretty much but a friend asked me to sell it off)
  9. SE 750i - On the my final Nursing results were out, handed my phone to the mentioned friend. Had to let go my best buddy V800 was history. Bought SE750i due to the idea of .2Megapixel camera. Had a tough choice between Se750i or W800. Money matters made the decision. I was kaput, so SE 750i for $450 i think... until today.
