Last month I got a new phone. Got. . not a right word. OK. Scrap the line.
Last month I purchased a new phone. After doing a lot of research, looking here and there I decided to spend my hard earned money, I work 18+ hours daily, on a rightmodel. Nokia 3230.
Nokia 3230 is not a WOW Model.
Its simply the cheapest Nokia model that comes with
a) Blutooth, I needed
b) FM Radio, I desperatly wanted FM Radio in phone
c) Shared memory, was looking for it
d) Expandable memory, another requirment
e) Triband, another major requirement
f) EDGE and GPRS, onre more thing I was looking for
h) and then more features like IR, camera, MP3 player and this and that and all other stuff.
More info at this and this URL. But now I have realised one thing. This phone is slow as compared to my old Nokia 1100. I wanted a phone to be a phone only. The idea of buying a smart phone was to organise my self with Calender and Todo List in Phone. But the phone is slow for me and this is the only problem I have with this phone.
Otherwise the same old Nokia qualities are in phone. The phone slipped from my hands 3 times in last 30 days and nothing happened. I was totally wet in rain and my phone was ok. I have clicked many photos with my phone. See here. Then enjoyed the radio on all my trips (just one basically) to Ludhiana.
My budget for the cell phone was 5500 INR but this phone cost me aroun 10825 INR. Nearly double what I had planned. I was going to buy Nokia 6610i. The phone had GPRS/FM and camera too. But I was more interested in memory and other connectivities options. 6600 was hot. But I dint want to buy the phone which everyone had. I was looking for Zara Hat Ke fone and I ended up paying 11K.
Boy’o'Boy. 11K
Ys, am a geek. and I will buy a 300 Rs SK100 Audio Amp Chip but will not buy a 275 Rs Monte Carlo T-Shirt.
275 Rs for a T-Shirt thats expensive. 11K for a phone is cheap. I was eyeing communicator but I know my limits. Mom and dad just said, “Nawa phone?”. They didnt ask me the price. Mom and Dad know my tastes.
At the end am just happy with the phone. For some one who thinks that a 64 Bit CPU can be more fast the phone is really slow.
BTW, like I do with my PC, I dont store anything on my cell. I removed the games and only Tatris and 2 more games are on phone. I created 2 ring tones one wall paper. Wall paper is simple.
Right click on the smily and save to your machine and copy to your cell. For ring tones fix an appointment with me. (US$15 + Taxes) per hour.
Need to buy one data cable or blue tooth dongle for handset. Will some one lend me some money??
