My first Nokia phone for the year…

Tonight, I bought a Nokia phone. It’s the 5th handset I bought this year. The decision wasn’t biggie since the price point is way below my usual budget. Besides, the unit wasn’t something I’d normally look into. In fact, it was a surprise buy.

I wanted a simple phone — a candybar form factor, great battery life, limited features and no-fuss handset. I looked into several brands but in the end, I went for Nokia. It reminded me of my long years with the brand.

It reminded me how I loved my Nokia 5110, how thin and light my 8210 and how Matrix-cool my N7110 and how reliable my Nokia E71 was. My last Nokia purchase was 24 months ago with the Nokia 5800 XM.

Anyway, I was just reminiscing my good old years with Nokia handsets. Maybe you guys can share yours as well — when was the last time you bought a Nokia handset and which model.
