Ah... yes the excitement I had when I finished my SPM (High School Finals) and i got my very first phone from my Lovely dad. Motorola Wings. It was a package with TM 013 line. Why was i excited of getting a phone at the age of 18. Well back then we did not have phones like nowadays students. I still remember the first phone in my school was in the year 1997. He was the son of a doctor and he brought his phone to school daily. Oh yeah there wasn't any rules about phones in school back then too. Getting my first phone and it only took me 3 days to learn all the features of the phone. I realized I was interested in phones more than I expected.
Discovering my interest in phones I couldn't wait to change my phone to a better one. I was saving money to get a new phone and I was eyeing Alcatel OT 512 gold. However, again I received a gift from my boyfriend back then and what shall i say it was Alcatel Gold. This time it took me 4 days as the Alcatel compared to wings was not very user friendly. It was one of the first polyphonic tone phone. My tone was st with Beethovan's Fur Elise. Yes I remember clearly, indeed.
Alcatel did last but my boyfriend didn't last. I gave it back to him before I left for collage (which was the reason of our breaks off) [if only I knew the phrase dump or be dumped but keep the gifts]. Again my dad became my hero and adde money to get me the Nokia 3210. Switching from Alcatel to Nokia 3210 was not easy not because of the features but due to the size. It was longer. However it was worth it because Nokia was very much user friendly compare to Motorola and Alcatel. Then in collage life I met a few new friends and learned bout their phones. Another new thing I discovered was Nokia ruled 2003-2005 in my collage. The second ranks went to Sony Ericsson.
Switched again in 2005 Collage final year gift for myself Nokia Butterfly or better known as 8250. Smaller, lighter and true tone features attracted me but most off all its was the blue light... lol. Nokia butterfly did not last very long with me it flew away when my i was travelling in the train. Picked pocket!. It was only 6 months since I bought it. Shopping for a new phone again, by this time the shopkeeper knew my taste well he insisted I tried Sony Ericsson instead of another Nokia. I did...
Instantly in love again. Music is my passion and Sony Ericsson catered it well. It was music all my live then music was the only mate that haven't left me even till today. Staying away from family and in my first job after collage meant cutting in budget so I stayed with this phone till 2006, would have been longer if did not get went in a heavy rain. This time nature forced me to get another phone. I was in love with Sony Ericsson so I went back to get another Sony and discover the elegant looking ones...
My very first white phone. Still music filled my life. This phone was my style small compact and elegant. Just the way I like it. It matched my fashion sense very well... elegance. Well just like good people don't last long. Good things did not last long either. Dad left us 2006 and I took over the responsibility. At one point in 2009 we were death stuck financially. Yes... my phone was the savior. Switching phone due to nature, stolen and even upgrade was out of my control but in this case I was giving it up willingly it was so difficult. I sold my phone.. actually I couldn't do it so I made my sister do it for me. That love of mine fed my family for 2 week. I'm proud to say I learnt a lot from that lesson. Always expect the unexpected especially financially. I did and I do nowadays. It took me 4 months before I got myself another phone.
I was back dated in phones. People were all about smart phones and iphone and I just stepped into the touch screen era. Though it was backdated I still love Nokia 5230 touch screen all because of the camera... Nokia thought me facebook. Only after this phone i became keen facebook user with the pictures I was able to capture on my Nokia my facebook had an update every week. Nokia 5230 also thought me about navigating and google map searching. This features made me go out and explore the streets more. I completely learned all the features in a week or so and started learning about the iPhone, HTC and Samsung smarts phones trough the web. 
I knew it is my desire to get back into the lane and get a better phone it took me long. A year later I now use a smart phone Samsung Galaxy S (SGs). How SGs changed my life... lets just say peoples perception on me changed. I dare to stand by my word that people nowadays do judge you through the phone you using. Besides that being a phone features freak i had so much to discover in the SGs. The Navi, Layar, all the apps that I get to download. Unlimited... still exploring. If u ask me I think I deserve it. Who knew my phones can teach me lessons too... In my life it did...
