"You still use this type of handphone ah?"

Once upon a time, there was this "entry-level" phone that I bought. The Nokia 3310, as they call it, was one of the most popular and well-known handphones locally. Why? Well, it was relatively cheap at that time (around RM400 - RM500), easy to use for tech dummies like me, and most of all, it is very hardy and resistant. I have dropped it countless times, and yet, when you re-assemble all parts back, it still works!

I used it for over 5 long years. At one point, the girl from a curry mee stall expressed her surprise that I still used this handphone. All my colleagues laughed at it as it was getting rather dirty and old. One day, they bought me a new phone as a farewell gift. It was a timely gift, and I was happy I didn't have to spend any money to replace my Nokia.

I struggled quite a bit to get used to the buttons and new functions. It took me extra long to send an sms. I used to be able drive and sms at the same time with my left hand using my Nokia, but now this task seems very difficult. But the life of this phone was shortlived. After only 7 months in use, I accidentally dropped it and the display faltered. So I had to go about shopping for a new one and this is what I got!

I fell in love with it! I think it is a very attractive phone! Summore easy to use. So now, I have truly upgraded myself! Wah! I can now listen to the radio, play MP3 music, snap pictures etc etc, don't play play ah....
