Wahan Se Kiya Hai Telefoon

Time has come to choose , to make decisions . Time has come to move on.
Finally! After months of dragging , author has zeroed –in for four options and has already developed a soft corner for the first .

As they say, “Better late than never”and as they also say, “Looks can be deceptive“.(I don’t know who *they* are but if you do, do drop a comment. I’ve got a bone to pick with them).

1. Sony Ericson W595i .
It’s sexy be it feature , performance, looks. That’s what the reviews rave about.

2. Nokia E51
Is a safe buy .(Ok, if readers wondering why the hell do I need a business phone……….why not haan? why not ?..after all one already has some business ideas lurking around -A tiffin center ….likewise a community washing machine....likewise a matrimonial site using QR engine to filter (remember this even won me an award @ YTOP) . :D
Coming to point. This is the only Nokia phone which is sleek and has all basic features within my budget .

3. Nokia Navigator.
I will rather prefer to ask auto wala, bandi wala , watch man or Hawaldar or just any passerby for the routes than wait to figure out the complex menu options to see an even more complex map to know where on earth am I and which route leads me to destination.
But again it’s a safe buy in terms of Battery life. Please note that the camera sucks! Not that I am expecting a cool quality , but at least it should outshine my previous buy .
It's slightly sleek.
At times those maps are useful ,but one needs to pay for them and they are just for cities .India mein nahee chalta ! gully-nukkad-konaas gyan comes with experience.
For this am surely expecting outrage from Com.
4. Nokia 5660

Initially I planned to buy a sasta handset , coz all I majorly do is talk!(By talk I do NOT mean … Reliance to Reliance free “couple” talk , I mean the genuine required quantity).
But then the desired basic features listed below hyperbolized the requirement and eventually the budget.

1. Camera 2 MP , so that I can capture sudden, funny , admirable, rare moments(what if I witness spaceship with aliens .The probability of having a phone than a digi at that cosmic moment is higher :D )
2. Mp3 player , so that I can dance or get consumed in a song without disturbing my roomy. (The Mp3 player I had earlier is dead , errrr the dancing tremors might itself wake up the neighbors na , silly! )
3. Bluetooth ,so that I can immediately transfer that alien pic taken above to someone with wi-fi enabled service.
4. Games , so that .. fustian
5.FM ,speaker, so that ..blah
Etc ...

But what about my phobia?
I have this strange fear with all battery operated devices , that the charge will go down as soon I need them the most. Thanks to my current phone for worsening it.
MP3 players , cameras running out of charge is still passable, but what about mobiles?..what if I am lost somewhere and I need to call urgently...what if I consumed all its power in listening music and clicking and when finally I need to make/receive a call , it bulbs.
OverAndOutRed!Red! phobia(just now named it) makes me realize that this all- in-one thingy is not such a great deal, unless backed with a powerful battery .
May be each gadget should be bought and used separately so that events can surpass mutual-exclusiveness in extreme situations.

@DQ aka Muneem Ji:
Of course everybody knows . No wonder I keep forgetting ma phone here and there in office , with a hope that somebody might theft it.
But it keeps coming back .Soul mates we are.

@Ludwig : You and E-one are just blinded by love for Nokia E-series . That phone has an evil spell of larceny.
Btw, how is the cam and mp3 ? which e-series do u have ?
