Calling all Pros'!!!

Hmm...im calling all pros'...as in professionals and not prostitutes ok??? Call me a lesbian and im gonna give you a hard kick up your sorry arse. Well, why do i need professionals in this post? Well, im on this hunt to look for a new handphone and i cant seem to be satisfied with one choice. I always have multiple choices and also when i see a better offer, i feel like i want to change my mind all over again. So, i need the help of you guys out there. Opinions, suggestions, which one is better. For now, im down with 3 choices. Nokia N95, Nokia N93i, and Nokia N80. Yes, all Nokias. I cant seem to express my undying love for Nokia handphones. They are just so cool. As for i-mobile 902...i love it, but what can love do when it is not available in Malaysia at the moment? You think a credit card will do the trick? Think again, imagine wasting thousands on your credit card and then got fraud. Man, thats just bullshit. Okay...lets review the phones first, shall we get started?

Lets start with Nokia N95. This is the review. Nokia N95.

Cool eh? Yes, this phone is one of my dream phones. I used to think it was a drawback, if you read my previous posts. But now, when everything is back to normal, this has returned to be my target too. But from what ive tested with this phone, when taking a photo, you cant shake the phone coz it will be blur. Shutter speed too slow? Dunno then. Just tell me what you think. Dont bother about the talk time. I never give a damn about it. Price in the market is RM2400.

And then we have Nokia N93i. Geez, cannot find a review of it. Anyways, the specifications will do then.

After seeing the specifications, dont you agree with me that this is one cool phone too? Hehe. But the shitty thing is that the price is just a little bit different from N95. WHY? Priced at RM 2315.

Nokia N80. Kinda old but still worth it. Lets see the specifications.

Well, comparing this phone with N95 and N93i is like comparing myself to Taib Mahmud and George Chan. Yea!!! Insignificant. Nothing. LOL. But it really attracts me though. My friend said the keypad sucks big time. But who knows what my luck is? Priced at RM1200.

So guys? Whats your opinion? Do let me know as soon as possible, kay?

With lots of love and huggies. =)

In Berberboo's mind : Handphones are essentials. Without them, its like you without your underwear.

Hallo! I like N95, but too expensive at the moment, N93 I like but it is too big & bulky like carrying a big family size bath soap in my pocket. As for N80 no sure yet wait for the price to drop somemore. Actually I am also looking for a phone which can take good pic so that I can blog easier.Still looking around. Have a nice day.

Berberboo said...

hi dude...
even though N93 is huge and bulky but its the same size with my current phone so i guess its no problem for me...
what do u think of SE K800i??? its good at taking pictures though...hmmmph....
have a nice day to u too...=)

Berberboo said...
