Next is What?

While my feelings towards my college remain blurred and vague, the brightest spark among a fairly dismal first few weeks in college has been my new phone. At long last, I've managed to do away with my good-for-nothing Reliance Classic set and purchased a Samsung SGH J-150. The photo doesn't do it justice, for it actually looks a whole lot better in the palm of your hand! The first and foremost criterion for my buying this phone, was the great quality of its speakers....the volume is perhaps not as great as a Sony Ericsson, but it is just as clear and delightful. I see many hours of head-banging music in my future. The 1.3 Megapixel Camera is much clearer than the Nokia 3110, at least in the handset's display. The clarity will only be truly confirmed once I actually transfer my pics from the mob to my PC. 2 GB memory cards are supported, which is a major plus point. Bluetooth and a variety of decent games add to the list of positives. The look, which I didn't give all that much importance to, is perhaps the icing on the cake. Samsung phones pretty much outshine everyone in the looks department, and this one is no exception!

The battery provides a fair amount of talktime as well, which was a concern when I first bought the phone. There are a few negatives, as you'd expect in any budget-priced phone decked with high-end features. The internal memory is limited to 10 MB, which is a bummer. The phone comes without a memory card or a USB cable, which have to be separately purchased. It isn't Wi-Fi enabled, which, if it were, would've meant free Internet usage in the hostel. The most disappointing negative to this handset has been the discovery that I can't play games or use any other applications with the Music Player in the background.

But at Rs. 4550, it's a STEAL! A devilishly sexy( a compliment which I MYSELF have never received) handset with a brilliant music player, stylish display, finger-friendly keypad, Bluetooth and a quality camera will hardly ever cost less than this! I've already got my hands on a 1GB memory card, and am expecting the USB cable to arrive at my house hopefully by the weekend! I'm over the moon, and hope that this set will last well into my earning days! It's the best deal I could've hoped for!
