I got my phone a new cover. It’s orange in color. I thought it pretty good.
_(The new phone cover that I bought at Bugis, it’s orange in color and it costs SG$6)_
I didn’t buy the original Nokia Express Cover. Not that I don’t want to, I just simply can’t find the cover for this model anywhere! My model is a really old one. It is about 5 years old. But it is still alive and kicking. And when it is in a bad mood, it just shuts itself down but I am perfectly fine with it, so long as it doesn’t happen too often.
I am using a Nokia 8310, no color screen but that’s okay because it is not my requirement to get a color phone anyway. I like my phone.
It weighs less than 90, has all sorts of features that I don’t touch, and the menu is confusing. Basically I like the radio feature. Only.
I want a phone. My ideal phone would be:
* Weighs less than 90 – This is pretty easy to find
* Has a radio and MP3 or WMA player in-built – I would like some music to accompany me when I travel and it will be nice if I can just bring one device instead of 2.
* No camera (this is a must for me, I cannot bring camera into the army),
* Nice to press button – I do not want any bloody phone maker to sell me a phone with some strange number pad system. I want my numpad to have 12 buttons, 3 per column, 4 per row, don’t mess with it please. (Nokia, are you listening?)
* Small – It’s easier to slip in the pocket and bring it along.
Are my requirements too hard to ask? It turns out that they are. Most phones come with cameras that I personally do not like and can’t have it anyway. And a music player that is in-built is rare.
Initially, I was looking at Panasonic A500 that costs SG$98 from SingTel with subscription plan but it is out of stock already. I was too late.
Maybe I’ll just wait for another half a year to wait for the whole mobile phone market to refresh their phones. Maybe I’ll find one that I like next time.

So I am waiting, hahaa.. But I saw Nokia’s upcoming phone collection, there is one with a radio and no camera. That may be what I am looking for. I’m not sure when it’ll be released though.
by Mr. Dew (Mar 2, 2005 at 11 AM)I have an old phone with a similar menu. I don’t like the non-color display, so I never used that phone. My current phone is okay, but I want a different one because its screen is too small.
by Jessica (Mar 2, 2005 at 12 PM)Jessica: My screen isn’t very big too. Last time I want a small phone with a big screen without a camera. Such a thing doesn’t exist. The sales fellow says big screens are for camera phone. Well, okay.. I’ll give the large screen a miss I guess.
by Mr. Dew (Mar 2, 2005 at 12 PM)[...] Well, so he pays. And I buy. That’s fine. So, on Monday, I went to get the RAM since I am at the Bugis area. I bought the orange phone cover before I go to Sim Lim Square. [...]
