handset nostalgia : 3315 -> N73

.. might be a small change of a handset, but a giant leap for till-now-small-time users like me ;-)

Mar 2003. Got a new mobile handset, Nokia 3315. Mother got it from Singapore. I was amongst the first to be using a cell phone while in college. I still remember how I used to buy cover after cover for the piece to keep it neat scratch-free. Not until I used it for 4 long years and felt the need to have something more. :-)


Then started an extensive search and research for different handsets. Clauses were many. Battery life, sound quality, camera and a well-defined search for a a one-stop-shop for every facility. Maybe, my colleagues might give you an eye-witness info regarding my search. ;-) With a dedicated window always open for mobile handsets sites.

After getting some hands-on on other mobiles, I decided to go in for a Nokia. Now, this maybe, because the migration from my 3315 to other brands seemed difficult for me. You may get used to it. But then, there were other clauses too.

Felt a little nostalgic to shelf my old handset. I am gonna keep it, not giving into the 500/- offered by the mobile dealer for my precious Nokia 3315 . . .
