I got my first handphone when I was in Form 2 (2003). It was a hand-me-down by my first sister. And it was none other than Nokia 3310!
I used it until middle of 2004 before the keypads start getting irritating. Some keys need to be pressed superly hard before it appears on the screen. I was struggling for a few months with it and suddenly I got offered to buy a second-hand Nokia 2100 that has been used only for a few months.
I had that phone until end of 2005, where I actually saved for the first time to buy a handphone. It was a Sony Ericsson Z520.
Too bad YENG phone doesnt last long. First it always gets hang and finally the screen went totally blank! It died at the end of 2006, right after the warranty period ended. DARN! I took it for a repair and it cost me more than 100bucks i remember! *sobs*
After repair it still doesnt work well, it keeps getting hang. That's when I exchange my phone with my mum because she uses it slowly so it doesnt get hang! LOL I was back to using Mum's black and white Nokia. :(
Then in March/April 2007, I got offered to buy a second-hand handphone again. It's a Nokia 3230.
Again, it died on me after about 6 months. Halfway using, the screen would fade away and become a total blank.
Then, I got myself a Nokia 6300 in October 2007, the red version. I love that phone. I was prepared to use that phone for at least 2-3 years ahead!
Luckily a kind friend of me *ahem* Lean lend me a Nokia 6510 while I start saving money and get mum and dad and sisters to contribute to get a new handphone.
After that, I got myself a Sony Ericsson W910 in April 2008 after being influenced by my sister, Shu-Wen. My first slide phone!
Too bad now this phone of mine is in the hospital. The upper keypads are not functioning. And again, it's after the 1 year warranty period. Need to spend money to repair again. ARGHHHH!!!
So currently, I'm using the Nokia 6510 borrowed from Lean again. Back to black and white!
