My Dad decided to fetch my sister and since they're too tired to go anywhere, they decided to come home straight away. And Kristine has the pleasure of meeting her Auntie for the first time. I know she loves her to bits, but wait until Kristine starts leaking biological stuff........
Anyway, by 2PM, I have rushed down to SS2 to purchase the new Mobile Phones (Nokia 3120 for my Dad and Sony Ericsson T630 for myself). I have made the call earlier to Angie, who did her best to get me a White T630 but only the Black was in stock. Funny thing was, SS2 is usually a busy place and by the time I went there, it was like a Ghost Town.
Anyway, Angie is a very very good salesperson. We got on great like good old friends who have not seen each other since the previous life. She inconspicously and tactfully controlled the conversation the whole time, making you confortable and in no hurry to make any silly decisions. Which is great because at that time, there were a few other customers all peering at phones and at my purchase, which I really felt uncomfortable. Suffice to say, in the end, I got the phones, a protective zipped condom for my Dad's Nokia and also a Bluetooth headset, all for RM1360. I have to come back next week for my own condom.
So, why did I chose the T630? The history of my Mobile Phone ownership went like this:
1996: Motorola 7500.
Traded in for a 8700 because it sucks batteries. It had large screen and the flip looked cool
1997: Motorola 8700 because someone stole mine
1998: Nokia 7110
Ok, so the Matrix came out but what I really loved was the 1000 memory which can expand to 5000
2000: Nokia 5210
Left my Nokia 7110 at Sg. Wang's Teppanyaki and someone decided to keep it for me permanently.
2003: Nokia 7110.
For old time's sake but after a few weeks, I decided to keep it safe.
2003: Nokia 3350.
Well actually its Wife's because I kept dropping my Nokia 5210 5 times a week.
2005: Sony Ericsson T630.
I am not a fan of SE but due to budget constraint (Nokia 6320 was like selling for RM1500) I had to make do with a cheaper one.
The rest of the afternoon was spent locked in the room preparing both phones for the night. I got the T630 to dial from the iPaq's Address Book but I can't pair the headset because the instructions said "Switch on sequentially" which gave as much clue as looking for the lost City of Quoazocotl (Note: There is no such place). Still, the SE T630 did not disappoint me much as I never did have any high expectations. All I wanted was a colour phone, with nice ringtones and most importantly, a Bluetooth connectivity. Anyway, my Dad's SIM card is ready, the Nokia 3120 is ready, I just can't wait to see the look on his face during dinner tonight.........
