My Mobile life....

I thought I will take a break from my regular posts of venting out on politics, movie reviews., etc So planned to share my experience with mobile phones.

My mobile tryst started off with a Nokia 3315 in my engineering college. Since I cud not afford for a slim looking one, had to suffice myself with this sturdy mobile. Though bulky it helped me throughout my engineering initial days.

Then moved onto Nokia 6030 , a color mobile.

It had an inbuilt FM and Radio mirchi was introduced in Hyd for the first time. So it was great fun to put FM on speaker in my classroom and every one used to enjoy the music while completing their Records (Yes we used to complete our Lab Records in college, we didn’t want to waste time at home:-) )

And as I moved to my first corporate exposure, Mom bought a new Nokia 3230 as a gift. Liked it very much as it had a Music player and a decent camera. Though I never had the funds to increase its memory card from 32MB (a free card that was given along with the mobile).

All through till that time I was a diehard Nokia Fan.

As my sister wanted a mobile ,for she was moving to Delhi, I bought a Sony Ericsson W200i for her. As customary I used the new mobile and she had to adjust herself with the old one (that’s the advantage of being the Elder, u get to use brand new ones and can pass on ur legacy to ur chottu's)

Though I used w200i for a momentary period of time, I was enthralled by its walkman music , amazing one, the Bass and treble that it produces is unmatched.

SO my next choice of mobile was Sony Ericsson W580i, a gift from my sis once she got placed with an MNC with a whopping initial package.

W580i was the mobile that I used for a longer time compared to all my previous mobiles. It made a complete music freak out of me. I used it for close to 2 years. As every mobile starts to wear out after sometime, W580's time also began.

I wanted to move ahead and try an touch phone . Checked with Iphone and its cost made me reconsider my decision. At the same time happened to see a touch phone form Samsung in Reliance Digital. When the sales girl (gud looking one) said it was at 8k, i could not sleep the entire night (no not because of the girl but bcoz of tat 8k touch mobile).

Did exhaustive research on Net and read every single review about the phone, and finally zeroed onto Samsung Corby (only reason why I chose it than a Samsung Star was because Corby had the option to use my Sony ericsson kind of bullet Headset)

At 7.5k Corby was the best deal (everyone goes mute when I say the price of the mobile).

So its Samsung Corby now in hands . Shall post an in detail review of Corby soon.

P.S: The funniest part is I have all my older mobiles with me still. Some of them were not repaired and some could not be repaired 
