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.

P.S. Mini-Contest

Okay, let’s make this entry a little exciting. Guess which model I bought and get to win a Globe Tattoo USB or a Php500USD 9INR 722EUR 8CNY 62 Globe Call Card.

First 5 people who guessed it right can pick their prize. Only one guess per email. Will announce the winners at midnight of December 7 (that’s 23 hours away). Leave your answers in the comment section below.

    nov. 2009 – n97

  79. It was still in Grade School when I bought my first mobile phone. I think it was then when Sun Cellular was just a baby. It was a SE T230i, the phone with a retractable camera. Then I had my first non second-hand Nokia phone when I was in Second Year High School, Nokia 6280, the first phone I liked because of it’s UI. Then I learned all about Smartphones and I bought 6120 classic which I misplaced in a McDonald’s somwhere. My first N-Series device was N78 which I bought 2 years after 6280, which fell from my pocket inside a tricycle and was never recovered again. The handset I’m using now is 5530 XpressMusic, I’m not fond of music, but I just like how simple it looks.

    However, for a general-use phone, Nokia is the best, for smartphones, Noka = Nevermind. lol. Seriously, Nokia smartphones are not really that good. The only thing good with them is the battery life.
