A New Toy.
Unexpectedly, abruptly, I suddenly had my hands on this little gizmo.
It's a Sony Ericsson T-68i, a nice little mobile phone that's at least 25 percent smaller than my old, old Siemens M35i. It's lighter and has a nice metallic chrome top, and feels light yet firm in the palm of my hand. It's got a COLOR screen, so I can finally say goodbye to monochromatic displays. AH! Now I know how it feels, Flim.
I went to Greenhills to look around and relax, and after getting a bunch of anime VCDs I suddenly had the yearning to just get myself a new phone. Despite having various models like the Nokia 3650, the Sony Ericsson T610 or P800, or any of the upcoming nextgen models running around in my head, I finally just settled for a good, nice, feature-packed, compact and inexpensive model.
In the end, it was necessity that dictated my decision, not a desire for cool, hi-tech features that would be nice but extravagant, or the desire for something that will blow everyone away. And the price (perhaps a third of what I would spend on the hi-tech models) was a winner, given that I have other expenses to think of.
I guess my purchase was caused by an incident that happened yesterday; I was working and had to call someone... my old phone went low-bat and failed me. That, I think, made me decide that I had to get a new and more reliable phone.
And so here it is. I like it, and I am staring at my new toy constantly. I've already inputed my numbers and even set up the voice dialling for fun. I even got a new belt clip holster.
As for my old phone, as I said, it's going to rest in the Sanctum until it's services are needed again someday like an old vet in an action movie. Sigh.
