My New Phone (Again)

August 25, 2007

I finally got a new phone last Sunday and if you're asking me why, my answer is the usual reason -  I lost my old phone.

Yes, I lost a phone again and I know it has been happening every year. The one I lost was a Nokia 3530 which I also bought for a pretty similar reason - it got lost while riding a public transportation last Friday.  My records in the dorm show that my number changes every year since freshman. You might probably know by now that I only buy low-end phones since I might be losing it in a year's time.  Perhaps it's a curse, oh well, I must have accepted it by now. The one I lost last Friday was already a year old and so I just believe time is up for him already. Funny!

 

Here now is my new phone: Alcatel OT-C 825.  It was recently featured in FHM having the functionality of a media player and a style of a high-end business phone. What actually amazes me is its direct USB connection which means that I can directly transfer and store files, capture photos or music or videos, and even view people online by making it a portable webcam.

Trivia: it's my first time to have a phone with a camera and a music player in it so I might be able to enjoy it for now. I was actually looking for a phone with a built-in FM radio but unfortunately this new buddy doesn't have it. Reviews say it's one of the best phones for this quarter and so far, I receive positive feedback from the people about the way it looks. Seems like I made a good decision then. This is so far the most valuable asset I bought since I came in to work. So that curse? It must be no more!

Oh by the way, you can now reach me at 0921-9692020. Yes, I already changed to Smart. The people closest to me are subscribed to Smart, so fine, now's the right time to change networks. Goodbye Globe and goodbye to that good old blue ribbon that's now changed into bursting bubbles which I don't like at all.
