Phones I've used

Unlike others I don’t like changing phones. I prefer to use a phone till the time it stops functioning. I thought of typing about all the phones that I’ve used till now as every phone I’ve used till now has been very special for me.

The first phone I used was a Motorola d628. It was a big phone with 2 line display. It had greenish light & colour of display letter was black. It had a provision of inserting the entire SIM inside it. Earlier size of SIM used to be like size of a credit card.

The second phone I used was a Nokia 3650. It was a nice phone during its time. Camera phones that had multimedia facility were very rare. Its display size was around 2.1 inches. It had a VGA camera with video recording facility. Internet facility was available. As it was a big phone the keys weren’t very close to each other. The software was Symbian series 6. Battery was fine. Processor speed was around 100 MHz. I liked the phone as it had a big display as per that time, I was able to save many pictures, audios, videos & SAR level was less.

As I was found of playing games I changed my phone to Nokia n gage QD. It didn’t have a camera but played audios, videos. Its display size was around 2.1 inches. Software was Symbian 6 series. I remember playing many games using it. Battery was fine around 1000 mAh & processor speed was around 100 MHz.

Radio revolution had started in Mumbai so I thought of upgrading to a phone that had radio in it. I changed to Nokia 3230. It was the first phone that had radio & camera in it. Camera was fine as per that time around 1.23 megapixels. Display size was around 2.1 inches. It played & recorded videos. Battery was excellent around 750 mAh. Processor speed was around 123 MHz. It even had a PTT facility which I never used. It was able to run a 2GB card smoothly.

My friend had bought a Windows phone so I thought of owning one & I bought a HTC t3232 also known as HTC Touch 3G. It was the first Windows phone I used that had 3G & WLan facility. The Windows version was 6.1. As it was a 3G phone & MTNL was the only 3G service provider & I was the only person amongst my friends to use MTNL network I remember astonishing my friends with the internet speed the phone had around 7.2 Mbps. Phone showed weather updates. Its display size was 2.8 inches. RAM was powerful with 192 MB & ROM was 256 MB. Its processor speed was around 528 MHz. It had a camera of 3.15 Megapixels. It had a powerful battery or around 1100 mAH to run such powerful processor. The best thing I liked about this phone was I was able to use internet on my PC with this phone. The phone was able to run Word, Excel, PDF files smoothly. The phone even had a facility of saving message delivery & read report which I saw for the first time in any phone I used. I also remember using free internet at many WLan zones.

Nokia launched a new series called N series. I liked a phone N95 very much but as it was expensive I thought of settling for N80 its predecessor. N80 was a nice phone. It had around 40 MB of internal storage memory. The best thing I liked about it was it had 2 cameras. The front was a VGA & other was 3.15 megapixels. The camera was powerful as per that time. It had a LED flash. I had made my first video call with this phone. Its processor speed was around 220 MHz. Operating system was Symbian 6 series. The phone had all the facility WLan, 3G, radio, good speaker, camera etc. It easily ran a 2GB memory card. Processing was smooth & internet speed was fine. Display size was around 2.1 inches.

As my Nokia N80’s display stopped working due to water getting into it I thought of using a simple Windows phone that has WLan facility. I thought of owing a Windows phone as it allows to read documents & WLan was important as TISS has WLan facility.  As I used to travel daily for around 2.5 hrs from home to TISS I thought that while travelling I can read my college documents, check e-mails & reply to them. I then used HTC P3452 phone. The windows version was 6. I liked the phone as it ran a 32 GB memory card smoothly, opened big word, excel, powerpoint & PDF files smoothly. It was a 2G phone but internet speed was fine. Display size was 2.8 inches. Processor speed was around 200 MHz. Battery was around 1100 mAh. It had a 128 MB RAM & 256 MB ROM. I remember opening the phone to clean it & by mistake I fiddled with its speaker badly I thought that the speaker won’t ever work but it worked fine. The phone fell so many times but still nothing happened to it. Some drawbacks the phone had was its high SAR level and unable to send multiple files by Bluetooth.
