Hello! I am very lazy! Assignments began piling up.. Owh.. For your info, my phone is kinda fcuked up! The microphone isn’t functioning well.. You still can hear me, but I hafta scream and you’ll hear a pinch of my voice.. So yea.. Text me instead.. Or else I’m sort of unreachable..
Went over to Digital Mall the other day.. Got fascinated by some mobile phones.. I am so lost in the mobile phone world now.. Ever since I switched to Windows Mobile which is 3 years ago.. Since my phone is giving in (it did serve me well for the past 3 years) I think I should get a new one.. Not another Windows Mobile definitely not because I am sick of it but I cannot freaking afford one when I am jobless.. And I was thinking to go for a basic or entry level phone.. Since I already have my 400D (so I guess I don’t need a camera phone), an iPod (don’t need a music phone), and my Axim x51v should be able to handle all the smartphone/PDA features on the other hand, I should get a basic phone.. The question is.. How basic should I go? I was actually looking for one which doesn’t cost more than RM400..
I want it to be 3G enabled because I believe it may last me up to 3 years or more.. So yea, might as well get one which is future proof! But there is a problem.. Most All 3G enabled mobile phones are equipped with a camera which most likely be able produce high quality photos.. Almost as good as those produced from a digital compact camera.. And that’s something I don’t need! When are they gonna produce a 3G enabled mobile phone which doesn’t have a camera? ( I mean the camera for photo taking.. I need the video conference camera of course!) Okie now you may be thinking I’m a weird consumer looking for a 3G enabled phone at Rm400.. Wait till you read more…
Next.. I don’t need a music phone.. Okay.. So yea I know it is impossible to get a phone (today) without a music player.. Something which has a decent speaker is fine.. I don’t need those Surround Sound system or Hi-Fi quality music playback on the phone.. It’s only useful when you’re showing off to your friends at the mamak stall and still you won’t do it everyday.. I just need a basic one.. Come on.. You can cut cost on those spanking loud speakers! Take them off! Give me a decent speaker to play Mp3 tones or even MiDi tones is fine! Then reduce the price! Hahaha.. So you must be thinking I’m going backwards in time.. Yup that’s true.. I usta like having the best-all-in-one-gadget ever! I had an Mp3 enabled on a monochrome display phone in 2003, when you’re still listening your Mp3’s directly from your desktop! I’ll blog about that phone later next week.. It kicks ass back then! Then I had a Windows Mobile Phone in the January 2005 which I am still using now.. It was running on Windows Mobile 2003se, and then it was running in Windows Mobile 5.. Now running on Windows Mobile 6.. Back then, Nokia’s Symbian 60 was the IN thing! And I was running on Windows Mobile.. Then when Sony Ericsson was selling their P900 like hot cakes in 2006, I migrated over to the Windows Mobile Pocket Pc.. And after a year.. I sold that off.. Got myself a pure PDA.. And then my Windows Mobile Smartphone continues to serve as my communicator..
Now everything is back to square one.. After having devices which has phone, camera, organizer, and multimedia player all built in together, I figured that it is still better to have all devices separately.. You may have the most sophisticated gadget in the world by having it altogether.. So what? It is able to make calls and send texts just like any other mobile phones.. Maybe for the first few months, you’ll be enjoying the camera and multimedia player.. After awhile, you’ll put these aside, when your parents just bought a new digital compact for the family.. That is when you start to ditch your built in camera and head for the new compact! (probably because it has the face detector that you phone doesn’t has..) And when you realize the multimedia player drains battery even faster than you make calls.. So yea.. If you’re still the kind who prefers an All-in-One kinda gadget, I didn’t say you suck, I am just telling you that you won’t get the best performance in every aspects.. One common issue.. It always hang when there’s too many applications running.. Or even worse.. It just hang and screw up your calendar/contacts for no reason.. (two person I know are in this situation right now.. One lost her contacts, the other can’t even load the calendar application..)
Owhh crap.. I think I’ve gone too far.. I was trying to explain why am I going back to basic again, but it turns out that I’m explaining reasons why not to buy an all in one kinda gadget.. Okayy… Don’t flame me for what I just said.. At this moment I have thoughts of an old-man-who-doesn’t-belongs-to-the-techy-era.. Somehow I won’t get a very basic phone.. Cause basic phone looks like crap! Plastic finish, small pixellated display and a flimsy design is definitely gonna be a huge turn off.. At the same time I am definitely not getting any from the top range! (reason as above, and at the same time I won’t be able to afford one) Fcuk me! I’m so demanding right? Hahahah..
This is my first time buying a new phone simply because my current one is giving in. Back then, I’d find any reason just to get a new one..
Anyway.. The picture of the dayy week..

It is out of reach as well!
By the wayy.. I am so hooked up with Taylor Swift’s music.. Out of a sudden I am listening to country music.. Weird.. Who cares! Woohoo!
