I Got A New Phone, I Got A New Phone

I got a new phone. It's the perfect gift from Meimei. Hehe, my old Nokia 6300 has been giving me problems for the past few months. The centre button doesn't register clicks anymore unless you jam it real hard. So I couldn't access the call register to see my missed calls nor send SMSes.

So Meimei took pains to check out a range of phones and eventually pulled me to Tampines mall to take my pick. And well, being the creature of habit that I am, I went with my old trusty 6300. The surprising though was that it was retailing at $229 . . . 5 years after it was first launched. Other phones which were newer models were going for half that price. Weird isn't it. But as the salesman explained, the body is made of stainless steel which is why it's price is still up there. Ahh, no wonder it doesn't spoil as easily when I drop it. I love it for it's durability and rigour.

Thanks Meimei! This is the perfect gift!
