After I dumped my very first mobilephone which was a Motorola, I almost swore I will never touch a Motorola mobilephone again. Motorola USED to be dominant during Star tec days. The Nokia took over...Personally I find Nokia phones used to be good as well, for those recent models I find them so-so. Some are over-priced like that N90. It is a farking fat phone and the built quality really dun justify its 1k price. U are just paying for the lens n the Symbian OS as well as the high res lcd.

My 2nd phone was a Samsung, I was pretty impressed by it. Nice bright blue light display, crisp clear ring tones, nice colorful lights. The drawback is probably the battery life. I rem making shadows on the ceiling frm the brightness of the blue light. Yes it is THAT bright! The blinking indicator can change color too and they are VERY bright too. That was 2001. With this Samsung, I learnt how to use T9 for SMS cos my 1st Moto din have T9. ahahaa..I rem I kinda figured it out when I was on the bus back from camp, I rem i was taking half day leave or off then. Those were the days..I so like the feeling of going back home by bus. Oh yeah I was wooing my ex with this phone..I rem my mobile bills sky rocketed cos I was constantly sms-sing..I also rem once I smsed until my phone was totally flat and it was during a camp exercise and I was on my way down from my camp at night.

3rd phone was a Nokia. Nokia 6510 with radio! What attracted me was the small size, good (monochrome) screen, FM radio. I think it is the phone I used the longest. It also have this classy executive look. I rem I bought the phone when i was going back from camp..I took 167/980 and alighted at Chong Pang and went to buy the phone. hahahaha. That was 2002.

In 2003 or late 2002 was the era of color screen mobiles. Back then Nokia dominated the market again with 4096 color screens phones. Then Sony Ericsson came with its T610. I rem reading abt slow speed with the T68i but T610 is vastly improved, it comes with a camera and 65k color screen with 40 or is it 32 polyphonic ring tones. I got my T610 after much research for a very low price at less than $200. ahhahaha. That was in Aug or Sept 2003. I was working in Singtel then, I rem so clearly.

With the T610, it companied me in Singtel, to British Council to TMC Academy. Late 2003 til mid 2004. That was when I had problems with the charger connections to the phone. And I was beginning to think it was getting slow. Back then I wanted a simpler phone...and got myself a Samsung X40(?) which was a simple phone with rotatable lens. I think it was ard April 2004 when I got it. 1 thing which irritated me was that acknowledgement tone everytime an action is executed.

This phone accompanied me frm mid 2004 to late 2004 where I switched job after TMC to DV9 International. When i was at DV9 International I bought SEK700i. This phone was with me in Oct or Sept 2004 til Dec 2005. It was with me when I was retrenched and also when i started (and ended) work at AsiaLand Travel Serv and into European Broadcasting Union and then into my current company. It was also with me during my breakup.

As a X'Mas present for myself, I got myself the Samsung D600c. It is a phone which I really really liked ALOT. It has excellent screen and the sliding mechanism is excellent tho functionality wise it loses out to SE phones. If not for that stupid dust problem, I will not have sold it for SE W900i. The most expensive phone I paid to-date. $490 after trade in of my D600C. It is also my 1st 3G phone. W900i is nice (made in Jpn), functions wise excellent as usual. But it is tad too fat and heavy, I am fine with it generally but when I wear tight jeans, it is quite uncomfortable.

So.....................on Sat my hands itched...after making some enquriries on the Motorola V3x. I decided to trade in my W900i. The trade in price is higher than the price of V3x! Anyway i earned $20 for it. V3X is oke not too bad, tho it is the biggest and thickest of the Razr series, it is still very sleek for a 3G phone. The screen is excellent, sharp and crisp..yeah it is made by Sharp anyway. It comes with a 128MB T-Flash card (micro SD) 1X travel charger, 1X desktop charger (which was missing when i bought it, just got it this morning frm the shop) 2X batteries, 1X CD-ROM, 1X data cable. Overall not too bad. But the sms-ing im still not too used to it..haha
