I know i keep saying i wanna change hp for the longest time even though my N70 is still silently serving me like a loyal servant. After seriously contemplating various models from SE and Samsung, guess i am back to Nokia - Again.

Seriously, i like SE phones but there is always something missing (design sucks, cam no flash, no 3G, cases of keypad cracking) which dissuade me to purchase it. Ultimately, it was the messenging interface which was the deciding factor. After trying out both SE & Samsung phones, i realise nokia messenging interface still suits me better. Maybe i am just not used to it bah. Afterall, i guess no phone is perfect, not even this latest gadget from nokia - N82, that bb just bought for me.

Frankly speaking, the first time i saw the pictures on the website, the design really sucks big time. It looks fugly to me. But then the number buttons actually kind of resembles my old nokia 8855 slide phone, which was consider a classic phone way back then. On the other hand, the N82 is the closest rival to N95 (another phone which used to be high up on my wishlist). It has almost everything i can think of - 5mp Carl Zeiss lens with xenon flash, 3g, 3.5g, FM radio, wifi etc & best of all, Nokia maps with integrated GPS + free 3 months voice navigation, perfect for a 路痴 like me. Wahahaa... Gradually i kinda grew a liking to the design after laying my hands on the real thing. Maybe beauty is in the eyes of the beholders. Haha... So far so good. The cam is damn power! My N70 shall take a back seat from now on. One more item off my wishlist! Gotta go explore and test out the rest of the functions. Till then, i am a happy gal :)

*PS: Got some freebies from the starhub roadshow - 2 GV movie vouchers, $30 Robinsons voucher and a HP 3 in 1 printer which i won in the Sure-Win lucky dip (the promoter gave me hints). Shiok right? Wahahaa...
