My new toy

This was what I've been waiting for over the past few weeks. Nokia announced the E51 in early September and it finally arrived on our shores last weekend. Nothing was wrong with my old N70 but it's bulkiness and heaviness were getting really annoying compared with the slimmer models already out there. Also, Nokia has a new and improved Symbian OS; I can actually surf the net without annoying lags.

Flee says I should wait for the iPhone next year in June. But I say that if it comes here in its current state, I'll pass but I'll definitely be in the queue if it's version 2.0 though. If there's an expandable memory slot, I won't hesitate. Unlocked iPods are available here for a whopping SGD$1000 to $1600 (or USD$695 to $1110).

The iPod Touch you say? Pass on that too. Apple has cleverly locked it to iTunes. It can no longer be used as a hard drive. And with only 8GB, and I heard a sucky earphone connection, I'll stick to my iPod Classic, thank you.

For now, I'll just enjoy my new mobile.
