Gadget Hunt is on

For someone who's not really into gadgets (like me), sayang magSG hehe. Come on, this is the hub of gadgets in Asia, maki-in naman ako! hehe

So last Jun2 I attended the big IT event here called the PC Show. Before going, what I had in mind was to buy a nice celfon. (finally naisipan ko rin palitan ang old, old celfon ko) :)

And I ended up buying a TV! a Sony Bravia V series that costs KK php (ata) in Manila which I got for a very good price here (you wont believe it, ei we're not talking about demo units ha). Look at the image, pogi dba. Elegance speaks for itself. hehe now my major hurdle would be how to bring it back to Manila next time! Patay talaga, please pray for me, that the TV arrives safe and sound :)


Because of that, I was laughed by almost all people who knew about it. It's the first time that they have heard of OFW ITs here na HINDI inuna ang pagbili ng laptop sa TV. Talagang some even mocked sarcastically.. they find it foolish - why buy something na ndi ko magagamit for my own. I stand by my own reasons and decisions okay.:)

So the week after, I and my officemate continued our hunt for cellphones. I'm a Nokia baby and the cellphone I was using is I think the first generation Nokia cellphones with camera. Kaya ko yun binili nun kasi nanakawan ako ng phone sa Glorietta, see how lazy I am to change phones hehe?

Anyway, all I had in mind then was to buy something top-of-the-line kasi matagal ako bago magpalit, so better invest in something good.

This time I fixed my eye on the Nseries of Nokia. Talagang print-print pa kami ng specs to compare N73me, N80, N93i, N95, etc. My ofcmate was eyeing on another Nokia phone that comes in pink casing (hehe girly).

We arrived Sim Lim Square. All our research efforts went to waste. My, the seller was good in marketing. He said Nseries are hyped, typecasted as the best, but in reality sucks. They hang, they are bulky, they are slow, and they are a bit pricey. Then we asked him what his recommendation is. He asked me what my priorities are. Just a few things I said: good camera, radio, mp3 player. An add-on would be the wi-fi. He took out his own phone, the slim 6300 and showed us the basic features, boasted of the 16MM color w/c is better than a 3MP N80 phone with 256K colors. He has 2GB installed and it doesnt hang at all (which is true, navigation is still fast).

So that's how the story goes, we both bought 6300. See, this celfon is really meant to be hehe. So far, I'm enjoying the phone still. :)
