Cellular

Ask my friends what my passion is & invariably they'll say it has something to do with electronics. True. But ask people who know me very very well what my true passion is & they'll say it is pissing away money on mobile phones! True again. I was given my first mobile phone when I joined college in 2001 & seven years down the line, it has become a favourite pass time of mine to keep changing mobile phones. Not that wasting money was/is a dream of mine, but somehow, the urge to explore new trends in telephony has gotten the better of me!

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, when she asked me if I knew how many phones I have owned over the past 7 years. It was an interesting question & I decided to catalogue the entire list.

The phones are in order of ownership to the best of my knowledge. All those who kept advising me to get myself checked at a psychiatrist's, please do help if I have missed/misplaced something.

Here goes!!

There!!! 50 phones!! And I did not realize that myself!! N73 was the last Nokia phone I owned. It crashed completely taking away with it a LOT of personal & official stuff & my hatred for Nokia has never decreased since then. If I have to choose a favourite, it has to be Sony Ericsson K750i. It was simply a revolution at the time it came to the market & blew away the competition. The fact that it still sells in abundance after almost 4 years of its introduction speaks volume about its performance. I own a K750i, P1i & a newly acquired K660i now.

So, if you think I am completely out of mind with this habit of mine, well, I don't really care :P

PS : Thanks to gsmarena.com for the pics! It's an absolutely reliable site when it comes to reviews of phones. So, if you ever need any guidance, I suggest you head there. Or better yet, ask me :P
