The Phone, I Buy

Today during lunchtime, SD drove me and Mandrake to Sim Lim Tower because I wanted to buy a handphone for my brother’s bday.

The handphone shops at Sim Lim Tower sell cheaper phones without having to signup for a contract. They also have export sets (which have no warranties and have boxes covered in taiwanese or japanese).

My brother initially asked for the Nokia 3200. I thought it was bloody ugly. 2 digits share one button. You can slip in papers to change the skin. The plus was it had a good camera.

One fun part about shopping with the tribe are the remarks they make while you’re trying to make a decision.

He’s such a fussy bitch
My remarks dont count shit because you’re the one making the decision
bitch bitch f87ing bitch
Just choose one, any one!

I love the tribe. Of course, when they are shopping I behave the same way. Quid pro quo.

So anyway, I ended up buying the Nokia 6220i which has a camera, radio, java and is 50 bucks more then the one my brother wanted. I do not like buying ugly things.

Update:
If I could afford another phone right now, I’d probably get the Motorola MPX200 because it has Windows Mobile inside. I really need something to synch my calendars and todo lists. My life is a mess. If I get this, I can throw away my pda and just use my phone.

Wha.. Nokia 3200 is ugly lar.. Given your brother’s age, it’ll look like a ah beng phone.

I want to get a new mobile too.
a sony ericsson z600
what do you think ?

Good job caleb, knock some taste into his head.

Ping > ya loh. SUch an ah beng phone right.

Picolo > no, sony ericsson phones suck. SD had the Z600. He hated it.

evie > hehee i help him cultivate it.

Actually, SD and me thinks that he wants the phone not for himself but for the gf. And he doesn’t want to tell the brother about it. We foresee this to happen..

Bro’s GF: eh, what shit phone is this? I thought I told you to get the 3200?
Bro: My brother lah..
Bro’s GF: No cherries for you tonight. I go and sell it..

if that phone diappears, I will whip his hide off.

When is your brother’s birthday?

ifer the bitch has 3200 damn ugly and the buttons damn kao hard to press! not fun at all!

LMD > this monday

Murphy > hey, did you know nobody can post comments in your xanga.

caleb> oiii…I loved my Z600! After upgrading the firmware it worked great..too bad i had to lose it..granted it was a bit bulky..but it had everything i wanted ..and the display is bright..even in sunlight.
picolo> maybe u’d wanna consider getting the new K700i,it looks good too..has a 4x digital zoom camera

Moi classmate just got his new K700i Sony Ericsson. He LovVves it to death.

A phone is a phone is a phone.

To me a phone is no different from underwear. You need it so you use it. No point in buying flashy underwear.

girls must wear nice underwear :P

and caleb always likes to anyhow “QUOTE” what people thinks even though it may not be accurate *LOL*

I quote powerpuff

“sometimes i am so slutty, even I think I’m a slut”

You people are funny!

If ya want the mpx ya could have gotten it free the last time there was a promo, just sign with 2 year plan.
That’s how sucky the device is. That they have to give it away free.

aiyah… I didnt know.

Does it really suck? Looks pretty good to me. I just want the calendar and todo.

A lot of other phones have that todo and calender thing silly.
How about an o2xda?

02xda is overpriced.
