I think the T610 is probably the worst fone I’d ever owned. Not only is it super unresponsive, its prone to many hang-ups as well, which makes using it a very frustrating experience. However, I have resisted upgrading it in the past because I was holding out on a phone that could do the following :-
1) Play video at 320×240 in either WMV or QT format
2) Have radio
3) Looks nice
4) Not bulky
5) Reasonable price
Don’t you just find handphones nowadays to be a tad overpriced? And as you can tell from my requirements for a new phone, my conditions are kinda hard to satisfy. So when a phone like the O2 Atom comes along, I was intrigued. I was actually considering the Nokia 6280 as well, but since that phone comes out only next year and as my T610 is already konking out on me, I decided to wait no further and took the plunge.
Say hi to “Eve” everybody!

I’d figured the 6280 will prolly be only slightly cheaper than the Atom when it launches, and at that price a phone with pda functions is prolly more bang for my buck.
The really great thing about Eve is that I can now carry my videos around and shamelessly plug myself even more aggressively muahahahaha. So next time you see me, be afraid. Be very afraid.
Happy New Year everyone!

The Birthday
