::Let's talk about he.

My new phone. He's a purebred Nokia 7260. Good pedigree. (wtf am I talking about? He's not a horse)

Nokia 7260 (black) from http://www.nokia.com
Mine looks like the one in the link above.

Ok, not bad lah. Comes in 2 colours, black and white. Black one looks nicer. Has my initials (SA) on it. Camera and radio, the normal. There are games, but I haven't played them yet. And according to my ma, Nokia phones emit less radiation, or something. Haven't made or received a call with it so can't tell if voice is clear or not.

Some nice touches: Has chinese. Easy to use interface. Looks chio. Nice funky art deco design. Nice clear radio. Nice responsive five-way joystick thing. Fits in hand and most phone pouches nicely. Nice to hold. Nice colour screen. Video recording, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

Some lousy touches: Eats up battery like nobody's business. Few ringtones and they suck (argh). Removing SIM card is irritating. The design of the charger is like....argh, the wire all coiled up next to the plug thingy and it's a pain to uncoil. Silver parts get fingerprinty easily. Camera sort of sucks but most handphone cameras aren't that good anyway. Carrying pouch is pretty useless.

But anyway, he's been a pretty sweet phone so far, and looks and feels good too (in fact, the best part of him is how he looks, and let me tell you, he looks damn good). Quite a good phone for the $$$ and has most of the features you'd expect in a handphone (camera, radio, java, MMS, etc). Not bad so far, and likely to be better.

Let Nokia tell you about him here (same link as previous post).
