My New Toy... Eh I Mean Phone

     My old-ish Nokia Music Express 5610 has been dying a slow death for a while so I looked around for a replacement.  After checking out several brand names and models, I finally decided on the new Nokia touch phone, a slimmer and cost-effective version of its first touch phone, the 5800.

     The 5530 is slightly slimmer and lighter. Instead of an 8GB memory card, it comes with a 4GB one though both has the capacity of taking a 16GB memory card. Function-wise it is about the same though I understand that the 5530 does not lag as much as the 5800. I feel my inner geek emerging again... ;)

     I was vastly impressed by one reviewer in particular, a British chap residing in the UAE. He's so smitten by it that he's decided to sell off or give away the iPhone that he has. Of course there are those who are not satisfied by it but I reckon 4 dissatisfaction out of 50 or so is not too bad, eh?  It takes a little getting used to but so far I'm satisfied. 

     Best of all, it only costs SGD 399 without a contract. Its usual retail price is SGD 598. Cool, no?  Oh, I also had a SGD 50 voucher so I only paid SGD 349 for it. All in all, quite a worthy price for a touch phone that has only been on the local market for about a week when I bought it.

     The Dutchess wanted to see my actual phone's photos so how can I not oblige her. :)

Oh look, my favourite couple is here too

     And in case it's not obvious how delighted I am with it, here's one of the satisfied user. ;)

     Since I started this, I've managed to move my Notes application somewhere so I need to figure out where it is now! Talk about dumb moment!
