*WARNING! PICTURE HEAVY POST!*
yesterday, i bought a phone for my sister as she said her phone was already showing distressed signs due to her phone was using the ribbon type. a Nokia-what-model-I'm-not-sure, but a sliding phone. so, i asked around in the shop, and they showed me quite a few phone as she specifically wanted a phone that can do 3G call, support MMS, WiFi capabilities and most importantly, a bar phone. she had learn her lesson from a sliding phone, i guess.
there were 5 major contenders:
1. Nokia X3-02
2. i-Mobile 3G 5512
3. SonyEricsson Elm
4. Nokia N79
5. Nokia E72
now, she's not a choosy person, as long as it does specifically what she had in mind, she couldn't care less. but, the options verdicts were like this:
1. this is phone is brand new, but grey set, i.e, shop warranty only.
2. i-Mobile phone, only have silver colour, no other colours were available
3. this SE phone, it still using the FastPort as its main charging port and also for data transfer. trouble would be lurking if one forgot to pack up their own charger! stay clear of the danger!
4. this phone really captured my attention when it came out in the market, it's a good phone and have a lot under its sleeves, but unfortunately, the phone was secondhand, but i didn't have any qualms on secondhand, but, unfortunately, it was in a bad condition, scratches on the body, charging port needed some care and attention. frankly, it's not worth the day.
5. i like this phone actually, been wanting this phone for myself, but i just couldn't justify my needs with the phone. the features are good, the battery life is quite okay, but my sis rejected this model as she hated QWERTY phones. oh well...
so, after an hour and a half at the shop, i've decided to take the Nokia X3-02 home. imagine my surprise when she came home with a new phone!
NOKIA C6!
guess she didn't really learn her lesson well. so, right now, I'm stuck with this Nokia X3-02. rather than not using it, let's try it for a couple of days, let's see how well i can adapt to the keypad positioning.
