A match made in heaven - or not
Warning: massive moaning about unfulfilled desire and missed opportunities ahead.
The nokia 7610 looks like it’s been made for me. Except that it’s not.
This phone offers pretty much anything i had hoped for in a phone: megapixel cam, series60 os, small and lightweight. Above all, this phone is the sexiest phone i’ve ever seen, perhaps the sexiest thing in the world right after the ipod. Sure, that’s subjective and people are already bitching about the curved keypad, but who cares - this thing looks drop-dead gorgeous.
But i won’t buy it. It would’ve been perfect just two weeks back. Now the downside is that this is a gsm, 2.5g phone and i just switched to 3, an all-out umts, 3g provider. This beauty is a no-go for me. Of course i could retreat from my contract, but i won’t, videocalls, videostreaming and insanely fast data transfer (though overpriced) are nothing i wanna give up. Looks like the motorola e1000 will be my next phone, unless nokia finally announces a 3g series60 phone.
