The Phone Entry
Looks like I'm entering the world of techy gadgets. 1st investment, the widely trusted K750i presented by Sony Ericsson. In all my 23 years of existence, these gadgets never fascinated me. When kids around me would be gushing about cool functions of the latest toy at Toys 'R' Us, I'd politely nod and tell them 'my pet toad can do that too'. I'm a jungle boy alrite.. A spartan lifestyle's what I lead. Zen. Minimalism. I don't have a computer (but i can blog and design pics), I don't have a hi-fi mini compo, I don't have an mp3 player, Ipod or Creative Muvo, no digital camera (but i can take decent photos), no air-con just a whirring fan, no bed just a mattress, no blanket. Zen enough?
So what makes me want to buy this phone? Well.. Here's how I convinced myself:
- I just lost my phone.
- I'm now using a Nokia 8250 and it can only msg 160 characters!
- I love taking pictures. It has auto focus and three scene modes! 2.0 megapixels!
- I need an mp3 player of sorts so I don't have to lug my Discman around.
- It's May and my contract allows me to upgrade my phone so I might as well..
- Royston's K750i really impressed me.
But then again, I have thot about just getting a normal phone and get a camera instead. That idea is beginning to seem more logical and practical than this little 3-in-1 eye candy.. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps..
