latest cool Hand Phone

Come across this post by Chloe today, a desparate young one trying to stave off the temptation of owning a cool handphone ...

hehe... this is so interesting. Everybody is trying to get the latest toys in the market to boost their pride. It's sure cool to own the latest handphone, the pretties babe, the biggest car, the best dress etc... the list can go forever. And it's sure cool to have enough money to spend after owning the above cool, life accessories.

At many times, we are always given "tension" by our surrounding. People with camera smartphone, guys with the bigger imported cars, girls with the latest design branded handbags. These new owners of the Next-Big-Thing will stare at your ancient collections as with comments to tell you that "hey... can that 3310 phone of yours still able to make calls?!" etc... Nuts man...

Come on... analyze the thing you own right now. What do you use hp for? Most people's answer: 1. To make & receive calls, 2. To send & recieve sms. Other cool features you have right now will fade quickly as time flies. Camera catching low resolution pictures? Pretty colour screen with wallpapers that you need to spend more $ to download (i know that you can download free from computer, but how many people actually know how to do that?)? Sleek design handphone but worry it will get stolen OR having sleepless night / deep heart pain when it's dropped/loss (come on, admit it that we frequently do carelessly drop hp [many times])?

Take my 3310 for example. Do you know that you can actually send reminder to the other nokia hp owner to remind them ontime about an event, e.g. meeting? Have you utilise the built-in calculator that at many time can saves you from failing to calculate simple but troublesome maths? do you know that 3310 can do stop watch? or as a clock? or look up for chinese word that you forgot how to write?

It's sure nice to show off, but make sure you do have the premium to do that. In any time, my 3310 might be more useful that your "look good" accessory, putting you to shame for owning a huge white elephant :pPpP.

Btw, I am not better off than you, Chloe... I am living nearby lot's of "foreign workers" from Indonesia. Imagine that many of them owning HP better than mine, sniggering at me when hear my Non-Polyphonic handphone rings... hahaha...

OK. just take this post as ranting of a jealous ancient handphone user.... :PpP
