Do not remember when I started go all frenzy our tech stuffs and news..
It's like it just happened over night. I remember saying that phones are meant to be practical in their usage, not how they look like. That was when I held my first phone in my hand.

The Nokia 3315. Got it as a token of my hardwork in PMR.
That phone was not a beauty, but it cost my dad RM400 then. I remember telling myself that I would be satisfied, and use this phone forever..(so I thought.)
Something happened when I was 17, though I do not want to spill the beans here, it had something to do about my parents slapping me across my face. That made me quiet for a couple of days. Did not want to say a word to them. Heck, I was in a rebellious stage.
So, to make things up to me, my dad surprised me with a new phone. The Nokia 6610. Wait, I don't remember whether it was him buying it for me or I sort of talked him into doing it.
Anyway. The point is that was my 2nd handphone. The looks were aesthetic. Sleek, slim. Coloured screen somemore. Camera phone.
I told myself that it would be my one and only phone for life. One can never get tired with such a phone!


And then, in 2005, I got into an accident, and some prick stole my phone in the midst of rescuing us from the wrecked car. Devastated. Pictures, texts all gone.
Depressed. Not because of the condition of the car, not because of the condition of my dislocated thumb, not because of the bruises, but because of the loss of the phone.
It was like a chunk of my life taken away.
To cure my depression, my dad bought me the Nokia 3230. The in-phone then.

I loved it so much. I thought I could use that for life. (How naive I was back then!)

I went into UTP, got to know Kenneth, who introduced me to Sony W850i. He bought one, didn't like it and offered to sell to me, in a cheaper price. I used that and there, I went, "Wahhhh...what else can you want a phone for, right?"

I was wrong. Sony was all practical, with all the various kinds of functions..and when I was in my final year, I got tired of it. I bought myself a Samsung Baby Soul S7330. It was a sleek phone, with the executive look and all. Never going to turn back.

Then the revolution of Smart Phones begun.

I got myself a HTC Wildfire.
And then weeks later, queued for an iPhone 4.
Weeks later, bought a new Nokia E5 for work purpose.

And now, keeps updating myself with news of the release of the new Samsung Galaxy S3 and The New iPhone.

Okay, now I admit I have a problem NOW.
