To be frank

Although I'm still hoping to retrieve my Prism 7500 back (and hey, it's no longer available on Nokia site so it's considered an antique already ok!), I've already embarked on a mobile phone research journey. This time, I aimed to get a super good mobile phone, and hopefully a water-proof one (so impossible~) so that it wouldn't get the same fate as my first and third phones.

I'm willing to spend money on this phone, and I'll be back to using either N6230i or N2100 (former a basic camera phone, latter an old model launched during 2003~2004) until I've finalised on my desired phone. I have some criteria so I want to list them down. I'm super greedy just to inform ahead.

Specifications:
- Camera of at least 5 MP (but I'm hoping to get a 8.1 MP or was it 8 MP?)
- Big internal memory or expandable memory to at least 4 GB (and I'm considering to get some which can have expandable memory up till 16 GB)
- Supports a wide range of video and audio formats (most importantly .wma, .mp3 and hopefully .avi, .mpg4 so that I can place my NEWS videos in)
- Basic radio FM 
- Voice and video recording (preferably with good quality and long recording hours, especially good if it can record so long there's memory space available)
- Notes function (basically Symbian phones will usually support word documents, hopefully it supports the editing of these files too)

There are still the usual criteria such as nice keypads, special design and user friendly and all. I think Nokia phones are usually hardy and user-friendly. All my previous 4 phones are Nokia so I'm a loyal customer. *laughs* Basically, when I look for a phone, I'm finding a companion for myself. Trust me. I never like to change mobile phones. I love and treasure them and I wished I did not have to change them at all.

When I was using my first mobile phone N3310 (during 2002), I love it so much after I changed the LED lights to white. I love customising my own phone to make it unique and to suit myself more. Then one day I was drenched in the rain for more than 4 hours, and there went my phone too.

Finally I changed to N2100 (during 2004), and I even bought an yellow cover to change it. I placed Ren Fu (5566)'s photo in the back cover (it was designed that way so that user could customise their phones) with Ren Fu's wallpaper and all. Then it had to get stolen during a bus ride home only after probably 3 to 4 months of usage. I remember I cried so hard that night and my eyes were so swollen when I attended the sports day the next morning. I was late and I didn't even have enough funds in my EZ-link card for the bus ride. The driver was so kind to let me get on the bus.

Then there came a $160 bill because of my stupidity and the chance of purchasing a new mobile was gone. I thought of buying N3220 but thank goodness that bill stopped me. Because after a longer wait for probably a year, N6230i was released and I totally love that phone. I love it so much to the extent that I asked my uncle to buy it, and I persuaded my dad to buy that for me, and got himself to buy a same model for himself too. *laughs*

So finally I was using my third phone, N6230i (during 2005, Christmas). I took so many pictures with this phone, and I customised it so much too, with glow-in-the-dark stickers, pretty wallpapers and ringtones. So NEWS and 5566 customised. And because I love it and the songs so much, I always bring it to the bathroom with me whenever I bathed so that I had the songs to accompany myself. Sad to say, the zipper bag had a leak and water got into my phone finally. One of the main buttons were announced dead and I had to get a new phone again.

So that was when I got my Prism 7500 (2007), because I love the design so much. The lines, the angles. Everything. I was so contented with all the features. (Probably except the expandable memory up to 2 GB because I'm finding it too little for my song and video files.) In fact, this phone had the same fate as my second phone! I dropped it on a train before, I dropped it on my neighbour's car before, I think I left it somewhere before too. So many things happened to it yet it always came back to me. But no longer now. I totally hate that person who took my phone without returning. ARGH. 

Did you know I just started to have the wallpaper slideshow and I love it so much?! Did you know how it always rings "I wanna talk to you, listen" whenever someone calls makes my day so happy?! Did you know all the precious messages in that phone can be as old as 4 to 5 years ago?! Did you know that I have so many encouraging words and messages from my friends during all these whiles and they are all stored in that phone?!

I told Yan Xuan that the mobile strap was lost with the phone. Yes, I admit my heart is aching about that mobile strap. But frankly. I would give anything to get that phone back. Argh, I totally forgot to make a police report. I shall do it tomorrow. 

Sensei asked a question today, "What will you do if you received $150, 000?". I answered things like I want to fly to Japan immediately and all. But right after that, I totally thought that I could reward whoever who finds that phone back to me. To the extent that I'm willing to spend around $1000 for it to come back. I admit the numbers, contacts, messages and whatever stuff I have in it are private and I also hope that they will not get misused and all. (I hope I didn't save any passwords in the phone. Because I can't remember.) But it is still because I treasure that phone very much. $1000 can get me a super duper good phone. But I would rather spend it on finding back that phone. 

How can fate do this to me. That phone is my support. These few days I haven't been acting well somehow. I totally forgot to bring my keys out today. My dad was like reprimanding me because I keep forgetting about things and all.

I hate myself on this too.

Give me back my black Prism 7500 you B*STA*D. I don't want to scold vulgarities, but argh. Blame it on the influence of watching DMC. I'm going to be racist and I bet that person who took my phone is some desperate CHINA MAN. Idiot.

I seldom get angry to the point where I scold vulgarities. I don't want to. And I dislike people who use them in front of me as well. But.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*sulks*

Things are just not going smoothly for me. Jobs, friends, and now my life. The next thing you know I might get into some car accident and *POOF!* there I would be gone.
