another new companion

when i get new things in exchange for an old one, it doesn't mean that i hate the old one..

i really love my htc touch.. so much, that it's like a romance between me and the phone. it's a gift from hubbyby (he seldom buy me gifts), and the phone itself has some sentimental value of its own. i love its features and really like the user-friendly windows system. but i need to make way for a better and more reliable gadget. my htc has some unresolved issues.. and staying in this 'under-developed city' makes it difficult for me to get it repaired. it failed to function the way i need it to be last saturday.. and i need a replacement, fast.

since using htc, i prefer touch-screen phones. i was actually eyeing for htc desire, htc hdmini and htc legend. and apple iphone was also in the wish-list, slick and slim with a reputable performance. but.. it may be too expensive for the simple me, who would only be using the gadget for calls, texting, taking pictures (in the absence of my ixus), digital calendar/diary, making reminders and updating my 'to-do list'. i have good broadband service at home, therefore i may only need the internet service while i'm away from home.

since i need the new phone quite urgently, i didn't really have time to browse thru the net. a short discussion with hubbyby on the features that i need, and we make way to the shop that we're used to. the shop assistant handed me few items.. samsung wave (menarik!!), nokia e72, blackberry, and few other nokia phones. i finally end-up with..

haha.. ok, it doesn't look so trendy.. but i think it has good functions. and nokia has always produced reliable user-friendly phones. so that's it... my new nokia N97mini (in garnet). it measures 113 mm x 52 mm wide and 14 mm thick whilst weighing 138 grams. it also provides a 3.2 inch TFT touch screen that is able to display 16 million colours at a pixel screen size of 360 x 640. and it also has the full QWERTY keyboard which is an excellent addition (but keypad keras sikit and need to be put on a table br sedap pakai). so far, i byk guna virtual keypad (touchscreen). but its stylus sungguh tak menarik.. ;(

it also comes with a 5 megapixel camera with carl zeiss optics. a secondary camera is also included. got mp3/mp4 player and a built-in radio. 8Gb memory storage is included within the unit with the opportunity to double it to 16Gb by using the microSD slot provided. connectivity is provided by GPRS, EDGE, bluetooth and USB connection. juga ada GPS and is bundled with the popular nokia maps.

hmm.. belum habis explore the new phone.. tak sempat dan tak pandai. nak tanya hubbyby pun dia bukan jenis IT savvy. nampak gaya his nokia e71 pun kita yg akan update kan nanti.

though dlm hati still wishing for iphone.. but i'm happy with this N97mini.
