i love LG!

I'm a little bit sad. I'll be buying a new phone tomorrow. It's a part of my simple-living plan. Currently, I'm maintaining two cellular phones for Smart and Sun carriers. It's a bit exhausting to carry two phones. Aside from the weight, it "weighs me down" to look for the two cellphones in my bag. (I'm not that organized, sometimes, hehehe!).

My cellphone history. Now, my new phone will be Samsung Punch. This will be the first time that I'll be buying Samsung. I have always loved LG phones because they're practical, stylish, and easy on the pocket. I love LG! I love my LG Cookie, unfortunately, I'm tired of the touchscreen craze. I loved my KU 250, my first LG phone before I switched to Cookie. Before LG, there was Nokia. Nokia is user-friendly and ok but I did not really "bond" with my Nokia phones. As part of my simple-living plan, I sold my Nokia E63 to my sister, hehehe! The proceeds will be used to buy the Samsung Punch. My LG Cookie will have a new owner, my other sister (who happened to be previously the same beneficiary of my KU250).

Why Samsung Punch? There are a lot of cheaper dual-sim phones available in the market today: My Phone, Cherry Mobile, Torque. LG has it's dual-sim phone too, but I don't think it's available in Davao. I chose Samsung because it's a trusted brand that's been in the market since the sms came into being. It still has new and competitive models and phone reviews say that Samsung is durable. I think it's also time to try a new brand. =)

Features. It's funny how I bought KU250 before because of it's tagline "3G for all". I used its videocall feature only twice in the entire two year duration that I had it. My Nokia E63? I haven't used videocall at all. So I just figured that I wouldn't be NEEDING 3G. As for wifi, I currently have internet connection in the office and at home. I specifically required WIFI when I bought my Nokia E63 because I was in Manila that time and I did not have a laptop. Now that I'm back in Davao, I don't need it that much. Besides, I have an IPAD (for sale, lol!). Samsung Punch is QWERTY, and I like that, it makes me look corporate. 

I'm sorry I have to cut my blogging short because my sister DANI, who happens to be the forced buyer of my Nokia E63 is bugging me to let her use the PC. Grrrrrr!

2/01/2011 Update: Ok, so I have to finish writing this blog...

What makes me sad about buying a new phone is that I would be giving up my LG Cookie, my precious LG Cookie which I bought two years ago. It was then my dream phone. I worked hard for it! And I've had it for two years. I love it. I might sound materialistic but I really love my LG Cookie. It was more than a phone. It was my directory, dictionary, music player, camera, my STORAGE system (I've been keeping school and work files), my voice recorder (I recorded my review lectures), etcetera, etcetera... I don't know how the Samsung Punch would keep up. I wish I would also find, in my new phone, great features to love.

I just hope my sister will take good care of my LG cookie....
