My first Nokia phone for the year…

Tonight, I bought a Nokia phone. It’s the 5th handset I bought this year. The decision wasn’t biggie since the price point is way below my usual budget. Besides, the unit wasn’t something I’d normally look into. In fact, it was a surprise buy.

I wanted a simple phone — a candybar form factor, great battery life, limited features and no-fuss handset. I looked into several brands but in the end, I went for Nokia. It reminded me of my long years with the brand.

It reminded me how I loved my Nokia 5110, how thin and light my 8210 and how Matrix-cool my N7110 and how reliable my Nokia E71 was. My last Nokia purchase was 24 months ago with the Nokia 5800 XM.

Anyway, I was just reminiscing my good old years with Nokia handsets. Maybe you guys can share yours as well — when was the last time you bought a Nokia handset and which model.

P.S. Mini-Contest

Okay, let’s make this entry a little exciting. Guess which model I bought and get to win a Globe Tattoo USB or a Php500 Globe Call Card.

First 5 people who guessed it right can pick their prize. Only one guess per email. Will announce the winners at midnight of December 7 (that’s 23 hours away). Leave your answers in the comment section below.

  1. nokia 1616 :p


  2. Should we email should we comment? Anyway, my guess is a Nokia 1280? :-)


  3. I think the description all points out to the Nokia 1280


  4. Or if you could still see some Nokia 1202 around, I liked its form factor more than the 1280. So it must be a Nokia 1202…


  5. it’s a toss up between the c3-01 and the x3-02 but i would go for the c3-01.


  6. I also purchased my last Nokia a year ago – it’s E71 and I love it.

    Let me guess – you now have a Nokia N8? :D
