Handphone Trouble


It all started when Aunt accidentally dropped my beloved E71 into a pail of water.

Unsure how long did it remain there, but apparently, it seems to be drowned.

Nokia Repair Centre pronounced the handphone dead after “CPR”. *sigh*

Providing another hope, a hp repair shop at Toa Payoh offered to repair it at $120 if successful or $0 if otherwise. I suspect the guy will mix & match different spare parts together. Having nothing to lose, I decided to take a chance.

Result will be out later this week. Let’s see…

Meanwhile, I feel so INEFFICIENT with lost hp contacts and basic survival on a small-screen (4 words per line) phone, which I need to press “Down” several times to finish reading a SMS!

I am upset over this “misfortune”.

I did not lose just any handphone, but a CAPABLE ASSISTANT to get things done!

Liking it so much, I am thinking of spending $350 to buy the same model.
If not, $500 for E75 or $unknown for E72 (to be released by Aug/ Sep)

Whichever way, they burnt unnecessary “holes” in my pocket.

Ooo… I have faithfully tithed, completed BF and never for once, held $$ back. Why this unnecessary financial drain? I rather spend the money on a nice holiday or some helpful gestures than... *Haiz*

During one service a few weeks ago, Pst. Derek reminded us about how bad things can happen to good people too…

Let’s hope the dead handphone can be resurrected so that I can use it to “dong” (last) for a while before changing a new one!

It’s ok. Take it in my stride!

Nokia E71!


I bought Nokia E71 earlier this week!

Main reason for the choice- Excel function.
As some of you know, I am a heavy Excel user. I love to use the program to take notes & settle admin.

Besides Excel, other features that I like...

- Notes
I can punch in random thoughts/ things-to-do etc.

- Dictionary
Available in both English + Chinese! A great help!

- Big Screen
Browsing web pages & checking emails have never been so easy on hp before.

- Fast Internet Connectivity
I can easily log on to my Google, MSN, and Wikipedia while on the go!

However, there are some inconveniences too...
- re-training myself to sms using the mini qwerty keypad.
- transferring my contacts ONE-BY-ONE from SE to the new phone

Reviews point out that the camera function is not that fantastic.
Well... I guess the captured image is not too bad...

(What do u think?)

A lot of C ppl (Jiahui, Klessis, Tracer) ard me are using the phone.
Guess what?
Both the Singtel personnel and the Nokia CS who are attending to me, use the same model too! Feedback has been quite positive.

If you are thinking of getting one...
The hp is currently going at a promotional price of S$338.

After deducting my Singtel vouchers of S$180 and iTwo value discount of S$100, I ended up paying only S$58 for this capable phone! A good deal ya?

This hp really serves my needs!
Overall, I am PLEASED with the buy!
