Choices choices
I have a huuuge dilemma: I’m trying to decide which Nokia device to get next and I just can’t make up my mind this time!
There is the N97, the N900 (not available just yet), XpressMusic 5800 (getting kinda old ), and the upcoming X6 (no idea when it’s coming out), that have all caught my interest. And who knows about what’s coming out soon!
I would choose the N900 in a heartbeat because I’m very curious about Maemo, if only it had a radio and a multimedia message feature. (I don’t use either of them very much but they’d be useful to have.) The 5800 is the first touch screen device, released quite a while ago, so I figure the newer ones should have improved technology — and it has only a 3.2 megapixel camera which is what I have now in my 3-year-old phone (!). I think N97 would be my number one choice right now, but N900 is too close a second.
I must make up my mind though, since all these devices are around 600 euros each… (If I was rich I’d get the N900 and wait around for a bit to see if something amazing comes along and if not, get the N97.)
Well, I’m dying to buy an iPhone but I can’t justify it when I’ve got such a good phone (and such an expensive one). I think it’s only within the last year that I bought that one, so I can’t very well junk it just to get going on the latest trends. I also wouldn’t mind a Blackberry, but iPhones just seem like more fun, like my iPod touch that I hardly use.
Whatever you get, think about having it for a long, long time. Nobody does that any more.
The good thing is I’ve been able to “recycle” my phones to someone who doesn’t care how old the technology is My mum has given my previous phones a good home. It is true that none of the phones have malfunctioned (at least not while I was using them, I don’t know what happened when the devices got older).
This time I’ll be able to use my current phone as my work phone. My work phone is such a basic model it’s embarrassing — and not exactly pleasant and efficient to use.
Merry Christmas !
