A new mobile phone for me! A 3G smartphone!

(Visited 1099 times)

At last, I got a new phone. Here in my wish list, I wish I could have a Nokia 6680. But instead of 6680, I bought for myself a Nokia N70.. ha ha ha. Why?

I think N70 is smaller then 6680, got stereo sound (6680 is mono), 2MB pixels camera and the look is more solid. The price different is only RM250!

Before I bought the phone, my friends had suggested me to buy a Sony Erricsson W800i. They said the sound is superb and got 2MB pixels autofocus camera. But, the main reason why I want to buy a new mobile phone is because I need a smartphone, not normal phone. I never own a walkman before, so I think I do not need any. By the way, the sound of N70 is not so bad. It is on par with SE when I use the earphone. And it just got better when I installed PowerMP3 player which got an equilizer.

I also do not need another camera, because I always bring my 6MB pixels Panasonic FX-9 everywhere. So, I do not need a SE W800.

With my new N70, I could install my prefered email clients, Profimail and an instant messenger, AgileMessenger (of course it is far far better then the default), and other software which make my life easier when I am away from home/office.

What I need now is a bluetooth keyboard, to use it with the phone!

I bought the Nokia N70 for RM1270 + RM90 for 512MB MMC card + RM50 for a bluetooth dongle for my computer so I can connect to my computer and the Internet easier.

By the way, Nokia N70 has been awarded ‘Best Mobile Entertainment Handset‘ at the annual Mobile Entertainment Awards, the Meffys.
