Phone Lust Relapse

Yesterday, while walking around Greenhills for anime to take home for the All Souls' Day weekend, I found out that the first next-gen phone has finally reached Philippine stores. It's the Nokia 6600, a wide-bodied phone which looks like a 3310 who got left in the kitchen too long. Anyway, it's slightly smaller than the chunkier Sony Ericsson P800 or the Nokia 7650 and 3650, and feels a whole lot more compact (no things sticking out, or any stylus to get lost). It has a lot of features, of course, the claim to fame being an integrated camera with zoom feature and video recorder. Along with this of course are SMS and MMS features, PDA functions for WAP and mobile internet, Polyphonic tones and JAVA. It's loaded and looks it. Heh.

Anyway, the thing costs 25K in pesos, so it's quite pricey; no surprise since it's just out. While looking around I saw at least one guy taking his spiffy new 6600 home (Grrr).

Now, I'm pretty happy with my current phone, but I can't resist lusting after this new doodad. Perhaps sometime next year, when the price goes down below the 20k level. But then, it's either this or an Angel Ace issue. Heh-heh-heh... heh... Hmm.
