Thinking Aloud!

At least one person wanted me to write this post  so here are the reasons…..

I wanted a phone which is good overall and reasonably good on the camera part. Which means at least 1.2-2MP resolution and flash. Also, expendable memory is a must. And my budget was around 10,000Rs. So, I shortlisted W700i, K750 and Z710i from Sony Ericsson, Dynamite from LG, 6681 from Nokia, Moto Razr. But finally decided on W700i and got it the day before my b’day 

Here is short list of pros and cons of each model according to me…

K750i

Pros: Really good camera with 2MP, flash, cover and auto-focus.
Cons: Not-so-good looks (according to me), not-so-good music features.
Price:(in Feb 2007,Chandigarh, with bill and warranty) 9900Rs

Z710i

Pros: Nice looks, Flip phone, 2MP camera.
Cons: No auto focus,flash or camera cover, sound quality average.
Price:10880Rs

LG Dynamite

Pros: 2MP camera, Large screen size,Very low price(compared to others).
Cons: Not-so-good looks,very low battery life, no flash,camera cover or auto-focus.
Price:8800 Rs

6681:

Pros: Nokia brand, Professional looks, Symbian OS, Good flash, 1.2-1.3 MP camera
Cons: Camera not as good as w700 or k750, No radio!
Price: ~10,000Rs

Moto Razr

Pros: Looks,looks and looks
Cons: Camera only 1.2MP, no flash, camera cover or auto focus, no radio.
Price: 8500-9000Rs

Finally, the reasons why I am loooooooooooving my W700i:
Music!!!!!!!!!!!
Afterall its a walkman phone!
Even though music was not very high on my agenda for a mobile phone, and I wasn’t much moved by all the hype behind the walkman series,so it wasn’t the deciding point, but the moment I put the earphones and turned on the “Mega Bass” feature, I was swept away!
Its just awesome! Maybe even better than my Creative speakers with woofers that I have at home….
And now, the main reason for my buying this phone: Great camera, with 2MP resolution,unlimited video capture, good flash, camera lens cover and free 256 MB card…its almost all that I could ask for (except the auto-focus,which is needed only when you take pictures from few centimeters away). Battery life is fine. Screen is very bright and resolution is much better than other similar phones,which means crisper graphics. Radio,java, USB, Bluetooth,IR etc all the standard features are also present. And finally the looks, with its golden colour and a tinge of orange, small and elegant overall build…just perfect for me  Last but not least, it was just within my range at 10,700Rs.
So, even though my first mid-sems are starting from this Wednesday,still I cant stop taking pics, listening to music or playing chess on my dear walkman 

Well nothing special to write, so here are few random things…

PECfest is over and normal college studies (you know what it means  ) have started again. First mid-sem exams are looming ahead and we have to start work on our major project really soon. I will be putting more details of the project in some later post, as of now the idea looks okey and we should be able to complete it in time. What else can one ask for!

On a different note, for past 2-3 months, I have been looking for a new mobile phone and finally have decided to go for Sony Ericsson W700i. Hopefully will be getting it before my b’day  Heres the pic…

Before deciding on W700, I was attracted by LG Dynamite,Z710i and Moto Razr also, but a whole new post is needed to explain why W700 won  If you have any comments regarding any of these models, I would be really happy to know. Looking forward to some cool photography and music 
And hopefully, next post will have some meaning!

Well, I have never been really regular on this blog, but like always, I hope I WILL BE this time 

On a positive note, I have just completed, the uploading of my older posts from the blogger.com blog that I used to own long ago! Do check the “my older blog” page above!!! And wish me a regular blogging future ahead
