Continuation from yesterday’s post on Handphones Down Memory Lane. A reminiscence of my ALL 6 previous handphones.
Next, I decided to fork out some $$ to get another handphone so I bought a new handphone(7th handphone since…umphhh 2000) last weekend. No no nothing to cheer about. It is just a low end model with no camera, no bluetooth, no 3G, no USB…no whatsoever ‘changgih’ techno. I figured I wanted a simple handphone because all I ever use for is calling and receiving calls and messages plus I already have a digi cam ma. But for my next handphone I plan to own a 3.5G or 4G handphone with those state of the art technology. 
Which means it will take quite a while la since 3.5G and above are not available here yet.
I
on a clamshell handphone for so long now and yes I’ve got a clamshell handphone. It’s NOKIA 6060 baby! This original handphone cost me RM450. It’s has a sleek stylish black body with a classy chrome finish and a pulsating LED display during incoming or missed calls and messages. Overall I’m satisfied with the simple functions, nice and comfortable buttons and navigation keys.
However I find that during calling and receiving calls, loud hissing noise can be heard at the earpiece and especially at the loudspeaker. I tried to change for a new set of handphone with the shop but they’ve got no more stock. So it’s either I change to another handphone or stick with this one. After more than an hour of delibration, I decided to stick with this one. Mainly because I really like the design and because I don’t want to pay extra $$ to upgrade to another better handphone say NOKIA 6101(another clamshell handphone but with camera function) which thankfully dosen’t have loud hissing noise at the loudspeaker but there is noise on the earpiece as well…but then I will need to fork out an extra RM300 if I were to upgrade to that model. Also another problem is I have my eyes on clamshell handphone only. Not into candybar handphone at the mo. So here I am with my NOKIA 6060.
p/s: I checked this phone review at gsmarena…huh they were complaining about the hissing noise too.
This is the 2nd handphone that I like after NOKIA 8250. Love it, love it baby…ahhh
I will keep the old NOKIA 3210 safe and sound. This is going to be an antique man!
Umphh in conclusion I’ve use 7 handphones in 5 years…damn ‘keng’!!!
pp/s: Chester who is my personal alarm clock failed to ‘bark me up’ yesterday and today because my new handphone alarm has different tone now.

I’ve never had a thing for clamshell phones - although the very first I had was one (the Motorola brick). Still, nice phone you’ve got there ..

Nokia 6101 (Black)… Nokia doesn’t focus on flip phones, so the previous flip models we’ve reviewed--the Nokia 6170 and the Nokia 7270--didn’t impress us. Now with the Nokia 6101, however, Nokia has made a more successful……

Hi, nice to meet you. I thought 6101 was the first or second flip phones by Nokia. Guess I was wrong. Will read you review.

I like clamshells too, but am currently using Nokia 8310. And I have a Nokia 3210 too! :)

Pelf, hello thanks for dropping by. Wah wah celek! I guess 3210 must be one of Nokia’s bestseller.

Nokia_fan_club_982, hi there. I think 6060 don’t have USB port. There is only 1 port for charging.

[…] And finally, I have paid all my credit card’s outstanding balance. No more ‘hutang lapuk’. In fact all these months of saving and paying all my dues have transformed me into a stingy gal. REALLY! I no longer buy stuff especially expensive stuff without serious consideration e.g. No reckless spending in Bangkok and I bought a moderate hp that I’m still proud of now. I know where all my money goes because I note down whatever I spend in a book. I allocate a certain amount of $ to be spend each week so that I won’t overspend plus it is easier to control my expenditure. This coming year-end bonus will be a testament for me (if there is bonus la). […]
