Sit Mone, Sentimentalism and Nokia 6610i
I was a busy person during a last couple of days. Being away from all the twenty first Century gadgets such as PC, lap top and Internet, except for an old Nokia Mobile phone was, a strange but a remarkable experience for me.
Nokia 6610 i was the one of the best mobile phones in the market when I bought it six years ago.
It was pretty expensive as it was with a color screen and GPRS enable.
However, there is no camera, no video and compare to the current 3G phones, my phone became an obsolete gadget after six years.
Anyway, it serves me very well. The battery is still original and its alarm clock never fails to wake me up in almost every morning.
On several occasion I have to turn back home from the way to work, when Nokia was not in my waist pouch. I have brought him to so many places including some oversea trips.
People told me that my phone is old and advised me to get the new one. I have always insisted that I would be using it until its hardware goes haywire!
Last few days were horrible for me as I was busy with something in personal nature. My Nokia was the only companion and playing very important role in sending and receiving information while I was driving most of the time.
Even when the battery got dry, it still keeps the missed calls and the voice mail and sms.
When I was alone, Nokia keeps all the information update. It was dropped from my hand on an occasion and all the parts came out scattered over the floor. A young lady came to rescue me and she fixed all the parts into its original shape within a minute. Then she asked me to try and it started again normally with usual ring tone.
While I was typing this post it rang once and the call was from several thousand miles away.
I am the person who does not have attachment to any gadgets. But strange enough for me, I have very strong attachment to my Nokia 6610i.
Are you going to call me a sentimentalist?
Regards,
Sit Mone
