“I thought that my phone was just ok, but it was not.”
Sometime in June or July 2007, I was looking for a new phone since my Nokia 3230 will be two years old by August that year. My two year contract with Smart is about expire again since I got the line in 2003. So, it is supposed to be my third phone from the plan.
I did not get the phone in August. Why? Money matters. So, I had to have my hallucinating Nokia 3230 operated again, for the nth time. That unit was not that though since it had undergone several servicing and fixing, during warranty period and imagine, one day after warranty expired!
Going back, I requested the phone from Smart Wireless Center in Festival Supermall, Filinvest Corporate City sometime in October. They told me that I can get it, hopefully, within two to three weeks. So, good bye. My birthday passed but none came. Smart texted me and told me if I was interested in other phones, I told them, not at all.
More weeks passed. Christmas came but no one texted nor called. And after New Year, at least, they finally informed me that I can pick up the much delayed Nokia E61i.
Why am I again writing this? Not about Smart nor because of my old cellphone, but because of my increasing utility on Nokia E61i. Utility, I mean, as relative satisfaction from or desirability of consumption of goods.
Some of the milestones of my phone:
All these running at my 200 MB MicroSD which was initially included.
What else can I ask? In few months time, I will be buying a MicroSD with higher storage capacity, probably 2 GB or more (if still compatible).
All along, I thought that I made a mediocre decision in choosing the phone. All along, I thought that there were other better phones. But, all along, it was all within that boxed phone! A tremendous power which I discovered not so long ago.
This phone is absolutely an avant-garde!
My rating 10 out of 10!

I used GSMArena’s comparative feature to evaluate which phone suites me. Check out E61i’s full specification and review.
