My Mobile History

Candy Bar? Clamshell? Slide? Swivel? Or Smartphones? Ooohhh... We are being spoilt by these ever-growing selection of mobile phones! I'm not a real gadget person. I have a Dell notebook, a HP Pocket PC, a NOKIA 6111, and a NOKIA 6020. That's about it.

My first mobile phone was a Siemens (I forgot its model but it's a candy bar). I bought it for myself when I was 22 and I registered for a 013-3XXXXXX postpaid line (until today I still don't understand why I chose TM at that time). This Siemens stayed with me for two months before I decided to "upgrade" to my dream brand: NOKIA. So, I bought a Nokia 3300, a candy bar hit six years ago. I got fed up with 013, terminated it and bought a 012-6XXXXXX prepaid simpack. Haha...

Out of a sudden, some stupid fellas robbed me off my dear Nokia and I suffered two agonizing months with an Alcatel... and another 012-2XXXXXX line, prepaid. Urgh... I never give up! I want a NOKIA! So, lady luck blessed me with another NOKIA, this time a NOKIA 3315 (still a candy bar). I bought it with my hard-earned money (still a campus student in my final years in University of Malaya, KL).

Then, DiGi is getting stronger with their ads and I made up my mind to switch from Maxis to DiGi. So, I bought a 016-3XXXXXX prepaid simpack. I have been a STRONG DiGi supporter ever since.

Ermmm... I can't live forever with a NOKIA 3315 when I want those cool polyphonic ringtones. So, I managed to upgrade to a NOKIA 3200 (still a candy bar). At this time, I switched my line from prepaid to postpaid. I couldn't retain the whole number but at least, 5 of the digits are still the same in terms of sequence.

Now and for the time being, I have a NOKIA 6111, a slide phone.

NOKIA 3200 is still with me, and I have another candy bar (NOKIA 6020, company phone, also 016-3XXXXXX). No more polytones for me. Now, I either fancy true tones or MP3 as my mobile ringtones. But then... Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones, the W-series are tempting!

Or is NOKIA 6233 Music Edition good enough?

Or a NOKIA N73 (smartphone)? I'm not really into 3G yet.

And I have a Pocket PC (HP iPAQ 3715) already.

I use my mobile phone to make calls, receive calls, send SMS & MMS, listen to MP3 and FM radio, alarm clock, calendar, reminder. That's quite enough. So, why should I spend my money to upgrade anymore on mobile phones? Hmmmm.... after thinking twice, I think I'd keep my NOKIA 6111. It's still elegant and stylish. It still serves me well ;-)
