There are many reasons why students my age shouldnt own an N95. And im serious about it. Been there done that. They say its what computers have become... but then... there is no way a mobile phone can beat a computer.
Okay, i might be a rather new user of N95, but guess what... i think people my age shouldnt own one... its just my opinion and experience though... so... if you wanna read up before getting one... just... well, just let me list the reasons out.
1. A set of this mobile phone costs about a whooping 2k. How the hell students get to afford that much money? Well, if you're saving up, kudos to you. If you are gonna rob someone, rot to hell you piece of scum!!! And if you're gonna use your scholarship money, well, thats... ok i guess. Since you're the one who is gonna pay back the scholarship anyways. But if you are gonna nag at your parents, please save your saliva coz daddy and mummy will never get you one unless you are a spoilt brat. And if you wanna nag your rich boyfriend? Erm... he might dump you before you know it.
2. Insecurity. Honestly, you feel endangered everywhere you go. You feel someone might just grab the phone outta your hand, or you have that weird feeling that all eyes are on you whenever you answer a call in public. That is why, never put on a free show for all those would-be robbers and thieves. Keep a spare phone and use the other one more often. But hey, if thats the case... why do i need an N95 for? That, my friend, is for yourself to answer.
3. Functions. I admit the N95 has many functions to offer. But as a student, we wont be using much of the functions anyways. Well, for one thing, the most common function i use is the camera. And thats the only reason why i got the phone. But now, with SE K850i and LG's and Samsung's newer 5 MP phones... i might consider a change again. Haha... Wi-Fi, hmm... yea its pretty good we can use internet on our mobile phones, but how many would risk that? Imagine opening an unsafe source and viruses managed to lodge itself in our phones, do you know how much is it to reformat the phone? Thats shit man... and let me tell you, the most common things you would be using in your phone are making calls, SMS-ing, playing games, listening to music, watching music videos, cam whoring, blogging and thats about it. The rest of the functions... can rot and decay themselves away.
4. Misconception. If you're the type who just wanna own a good phone but doesnt want people to boast about you, dont get an N95. Coz by getting one, even though how measly poor you are, or even you won the phone somewhere, people will deem you as being a rich kid aka spoilt brat or something like that. People will talk behind your back, whether good or bad, and then, you will get sneezing fits all the time. Im not joking. So if you hate people talking behind your backs, dont get one.
5. Camera quality. I have to admit that the camera quality is pretty good. With the close up mode and such, i can take photos of food nicely. But it doesnt depend on the phone's MP la. It depends on your own camera skills. So dont complain to your parents that you want a 5MP phone just because you wanna take better photos. Thats an unacceptable excuse (i only realised it now). But now, Samsung's has a face recognition feature and LG's has a higher ISO shot, and Cybershot 5MP??? Damn... i want i want... and one thing... I GET REALLY ANNOYED WITH NOKIA PHONES!!! I cant shut the freaking shutter sound at all. Shit man! You pay a freaking 2k for it and you cant even take photo of people without them realising it. Assss....
6. Size. Its big and bulky and heavy and ugly. I can hardly fit it in my jeans pocket without a bulge. And furthermore, its slider function... omg... you can feel it slide in your pocket if you are wearing tight jeans. So i suggest you dont dump the phone in your jeans pocket but instead, put it in a handbag. Saves your phones battery life and slider from destruction.
7. The pain. If you arent rich or a spoilt brat, owning an N95 is a pain in the ass. Why? Coz, you will do whatever it takes to protect the phone that is wrap it with this and that, buy protector la... or keep it covered at all times. Because, if there is a scratch on your phone, i bet you will pull all your hair from your scalp. If the phone drops down, you will be so worried, more worried than sitting for exams, incase the phone spoils and you cant afford a new one coz all money is already spent on it. Its a fragile thing... and i bet you will protect it with your life. Im not joking. ^^
I guess thats all i can say. Well, i might have more opinions regarding it... but i dont think its related to students anyways... so... think before you buy and dont buy on impulse just because owning one is like getting royalty from the Queen. Its not, that bloody tool is just another heavy responsibility you have to take care of until its life span is up.
In Berberboo's mind: Nahhh... Alistair... i finally put this up lo... blek...

Interesting one. I totally agree with the third point. Haha..I got myself an SE K810i like a few months ago, and now I sort of regret my actions. All I wanted was the camera, but being myself, I just couldn't wait till the K850i came out. =.=
But yeah, a student owning an N95? Kind of impractical, no? Do you even need GPS to go around Kuching? xD
waaaaa you bought n95???
[fahriee] haha.. so are you gotta get the K850i now? ^^ well... was itching to change again... =_=
VERY IMPRACTICAL TO OWN AN N95. too big and bulky and lousy... too much uses for such a puny job like a student... HAHA... GPS also very cacat bah... i know kuching well enough to not get lost... =D
[meli] ya ya... i got one... ^^
haha cool post!
LOL I see you taking times to write this post so I should comment :)
I think what you've mention are pretty good :)
2K on a phone is really not a well spend.
Good post
Cheers
[kala] haha... thanks
[netster] haha... i did take my time alright... ^^ cheers to u too... =D
Haha..dunno, but I doubt it though. I change my phone once ever 3-4 years. Probably by then something better comes out. Like a 7MP camera phone with manual focus or something. LOL. That would be awesome as hell. xD
Yea, RM2k is really a big amount to students.
I still think that phone's camera cant fight normal camera.
[fahriee] haha... my old phone was about 3 years old... so it when kaput... so i gotta change to a new one which might last longer... i mean its technology... haha... now we do have 7mp already... in 3 years to come... i think 10 mp will exist ^^
[hp84] ya... sighs... have to save up lo... and i agree that phone's camera cant compare with a real camera... but then... i dont wanna carry a camera and a handphone around... too bulky... =_=
Wow. A lot reasons not to buy it. Haha.
I'll never get one. I think it's too bulky. =p
[lovie] haha... dont get one... you will regret wasting that much money... ^^
Lol N95 is one of the greatest phones to own.
Ure probably still using the older version pro 11 12 or even version 10.
They just release version 20 few weeks ago and its awesome,super fast and u get to retrieve 10 mbs of ram.
why not n95?
checkout NOKMOTE or even ROTATEME by samir,n95 has claimed to have motion sensor and u can select ur files without using the key pad.

n95 one of the greatest creations.
check the demo video out before u say n95 is not reliable.
check out version 20 then.
