Wishing for a mobile..

Until very recently, I was not very particular about mobile phones. But all of it changed when my portable video player conked off after a month of rigorous usage. The StormBlue video player lived up to its true Korean identity by refusing to boot up. I should say that it was a really good player, though a bit costly for $220. But it did play really well. It could store 8 hours of movies, and 9 hours of battery backup.


Instead of buying a video player, I thought I would buy a mobile with camera. After 2 weeks of surfing, and countless hours of thinking, I have finally chosen to buy a Nokia 6630. Right now it costs around Rs. 13,000. I somehow liked the looks of the phone(maybe because it resembles the shape that you would expect in members of our opposite sex). It is a triband phone and can also support WCDMA. That means it should works in almost any country in the world, incluing Korea and Japan. It also has a 1.3 megapixel camera, though people complain that the videos from this camera are not that impressive.

I also recenly changed my carrier from Hutch to Airtel. For one, Hutch has got a poor connection inside my house. Secondly, Airtel was offering a 599 rental postpaid option where you can call unlimited to local Airtel mobiles. Thirdly, with an Airtel sim, you can roam internationally, which is not the case with Hutch.
