And today after designing Niveshak for the second consecutive month via internet on this handset, I am so much in love with this phone. Downloading an image at a time..uploading the drafts which took half hour for 5MB..!
Thats true. This phone, bought in Decemeber 2007 has seen many accidents but is still living in a rocking style.
Throughout the earler years, its use was more of camera as I was not into sending mssgs or calls. But since it is a smart phone, there is more to it.
In TATA Chem, it used to be my remote for my laptop via bluetooth.And this feature continued to the classrooms of IIM where silently with the help of mobile I operate my laptop.
These 2 months in Mumbai showed the multicapacity of this phone. My 3 hours of daily to and fro journey was soothed by the music/fm while sending all the mails through this in bus in morning. Synapse was handelled completely over this 176x208 pixel screen. Though their were problems because of the screen size in reading a bit but still..!
Then not to forget the maps...getting to a location here in mumbai was so much easy because of this. Just key in the name of the place and it tells the exact location, direction, route, rating, review, everything. Standing on Bandra station with Sunil, finding place for the junior senior meet was greatly solved by this.
Regarding messages...T9 is like the fastest way of typing anything. With daily message travelling on this handset reaching figure of 150 a day on average (thnks Bhim :P ) this is simply awesome..
What has changed in last one year is speed dial. Numbers till 6 are reserved for papa, mummy, vikas, home phone etc. 7-8-9 which used to be box-shantanu-vishrut now shifted to shashank-box-sakshi, work requirement changes with time..!
As i said accident, let me just jot down. One was in Sector 18 Noida when one bike hit me while i was walking. Phone flew in air and landed on mid road with moving traffic. Although battery and everything got separated, nothing happened. Apart from this falling from table is a regular affair. Last week only it fell with such force in office that Radhika asked "what happened? Taking out some anger on phone?!"
The funniest part..for last one year the earpiece was creating problem. Couldn't hear properly so whenever someone calls, I had to put the phone on Speaker and talk. Everybody said to replace it/ get it repaired but i didn't. Then yesterday I just thought of checking the problem myself. After searching on net how o dismantle the phone, I opened this up. What was there was some impounded dust on the earphone. Removed that and now :D :D
For now my latest crush is on Nokia C6-00 touch +qwerty with 5mp camera/wifi/gps and whateva you require..! So if you want me to part from this n70 of mine..you know what to gift me! its just for 12,000! Anyone?!
Hey Vishal...Nokia share in the smartphone market has been taking quite a beating par yaar ye woh phones hain which have been with us through thick and thin...Its quite well known that in terms of sheer ruggedness, ye hulk ke baap hain..
ReplyDeleteI am sure that after going through those accidents your N70 is still good to go for a lot of years to come...:P..
I used to have a Nokia 1100 in college...garibi ke din dude..:)
