…is another man’s treasure? Well I’ve got a Nokia 7900 Prism that says ‘NO!’ – thats if you want to keep beating the life out of it everytime it freezes when a message comes through it. I can vaguely remember how I strolled into the Nokia shop barely a year ago, coughed out N70,000 (which is over £200 or over $300) and was one of the ‘privileged’ few to be pouncing around town with a phone which got quite a lot of ‘Ooh! Nice phone!’, ‘It’s unique!’, ‘I haven’t seen this before!’, (Hindsight – thanks to you gawkers I didnt return the phone sooner to get a refund).
It was as slim as kate moss, black as Whoopi’s lips, had more colour theme choices than Amy Winehouse’s make-up artist (oops, I forgot she does it herself), and boasted more tricks than Harry Potter’s wand. Well I was tricked alright. I was tricked into thinking an engraved Aluminium casing was mega cool. For N70,000 I should be getting at least Titanium, shouldn’t I? For N70,000 I should be getting not just 1GB of built-in memory but 3GB! For 70,000 bleeping Naira I should be getting more than a 2 mega-pixel camera, FM radio and bluetooth – bluetooth! What genius came up with THAT term? The next pushy salesperson that offers me a ‘BLUETOOTH’ will get a ‘BLACKEYE’.
I will not be ripped off again (Aaaaargh!!!) I shall not succumb to the…oh my…could it be? Could Nokia be entrancing me yet again with a nonsenical technological blunder utterly unworthy to be categorized as a cutting-edge mobile phone? Its so slick…stylish…kinky…qwerty…look at it slide…the screen is huge…how much is it? How much? I think I’m falling for the E75…shh, I just can’t help it. I hate you Nokia…making me spend my money…and in 8months I know this’ll be trash too…but for 11years now when has that ever stopped me 🙂
LWKM. Dude! If I am to advise, your next phone shouldn’t be a Nokia; those guys are beginning to lose touch of wats in.
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttt did you just compare your nokia prism to an E75. sacrilage. i’ll pretend not to have read that and suppress the memory with or without a therapist.
NOKIA FOR LIFE and yes E75 is the way to go if you are into style but when it comes to functionality (if there is such a word), i’ll go for the E90 though a bit common now, it is still the business mans best friend. think about it.
what was the article all about again? phew i think the suppression is already working. in about 30 minutes i hope to have forgotten about my visit to this site. lol.
what’s up cuz
They always have a knack for making us part with our hard earned cash.. 🙁
@ Seyi – Nokia is user friendly and it wont take me 5minutes to work out how to send a text message. Once you start with Nokia there’s no going back for me
Umm, i was neva a fone freak, so….. ohw wtf! For what its worth i also use a nokia – cant remember (or neva bothered) what make it is. But you can browse the internet with it…. i think. Teehehehe!
I was never a fan of the Prism but I’m a die hard Nokia fan – through and through ! I couldn’t even think about using another phone .. perhaps that’s why I’m not a part of the Blackberry Crowd LOL
E71 is what I’m using now and totally loving it … India is a bit behind with certain models of the phones – and it’s mad expensive to buy a phone here … I wish they did contract – pay monthly tariffs with a phone as they do in UK !
And don’t ever think about ditching Nokia 😛
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of Nokia but I was once swaying to Blackberry when I got under some ‘peer pressure’. My lil sis gave in though and got a Blackberry Bold -TRAITOR!!! The Nokia E-series phones I think are the best especially because of the internet capabilities and contact storage limits – hang on, there virtually aren’t any 😉
My Nokia E75 is turning heads like a cork-screw and as a matter of fact I was reading your comment on my phone some hours ago after I got the email alert on my gmail account – sweet! Nigeria allows you to get the contract option but generally it hasn’t caught on so most ppl stick with pay-as-you-go which is an absolute rip-off!
It’s Nokia E-series all the way for me from now on. Expect an international call from me soon 😀
