Nokie!

Meet my new baby, Nokie. Looks like I’ve got 2 down already. Though, it’s not the original phone that I wanted. Oh well, Nokia E75 was just too expensive for my budget. 

Anyway, I’m happy with my purchase. I’ve had it for a week and I’m still not done playing and discovering its features. Right now, I’m loving the camera. It’s been a while since I took a picture via camera phone and actually liked it. My two previous non-Nokia phones with built-in camera didn’t take nice and clear photos thus, I rarely use this feature. With E63, I get to take pictures all the time. Post below is one example.

I also love the Wi-Fi feature. It’s one of the primary reasons why I caved in to various micro blogging tools out there [twitter, plurk]. For me, micro blogging is something you do on the fly. Now, I’ve got the excuse to do just that. It doesn’t hurt that there are a lot of establishments here that offer free Wi-Fi. Yey for me! 

Another thing that I’m surprised about this phone is it’s battery life. All my previous phones usually last me just a day of minimal usage – few SMS and calls. E63, on the other hand, lasts for 2 days and I’m practically using all of its features – SMS, calls, camera, Wi-Fi, notes, calendar. I’m thinking that maybe it’s just new. Let’s see in a couple of months.

I thought I would have a hard time with adjusting to the QWERTY keypads but apparently not. I can text just as fast as before. Though now I tend to completely spell out the words instead of abbreviating it. This is a good thing for me spelling and grammar wise but not for my bill. Complete words means longer messages, longer messages means it’ll be counted as TWO sms, which$$$ for my provider.

Speaking of providers, I just recently submitted the transfer of ownership application for my phone number’s postpaid account. Currently, my postpaid account is still under my dad’s name. We got it around 8 years ago and of course I was still not financially capable of paying for it. Now, I am. More bills, bills, bills for me.

Anyway, back to Nokie. Overall, I love this phone. It’s probably the best one after 3 years of using failed non-Nokia phones and besting my long lasting Nokia 6630, which, minus the short battery life, is still functioning.
