Nokia E71 Phone

Upgrade!!!

My younger sister felt sorry for me for having a crappy, prehistoric mobile phone so she gifted me a new Nokia E71 this Christmas. You see, I'm not really the type of person who likes to be obsess about the latest electronic gadgets. I'll obsess about fashion and accessories, yes, but not phones or what have you. To me, a phone is just a phone -- a tool to communicate with people. Why should I have the fanciest mobile phone when I mostly communicate online? OK FINE I'd love to own that Vertu Boucheron 150 made out of solid gold but who's gonna buy me that? Also, many of you know my relationship with phones. I've gone through far too many phones over the years (some broke down on me and some were lost, let's not even go to the RAZRs etc) but I still end up with my crusty but trusty old Nokia.

Geriatric phone no more.

I love how I can browse websites, go on facebook, check my emails, chat on skype, msn messenger, yahoo anywhere as long as there's some sort of a wi-fi internet connection. Trust me - it works. I can now do all that while taking a poo in the toilet without risking myself with electric shock by using my laptop. I'm also trying to figure out how to do it using my mobile service provider in the event there's no wi-fi. I tried to send a few emails last night while I was out and for some reason it didn't work. Boo hoo.

But yeah... hello 21st century. Yeehaw!

PS. I'm gonna try to see if I can post on my blog using my cellphone. Oh my god you guys can you imagine the opportunities?

Nokia/WOM World Targets Fashion Bloggers for Luxury Phone Trial

Nokia/WOM World Targets Fashion Bloggers for Luxury Phone Trial

Nokia, via WOM World, recently invited me several weeks ago to try one of their luxury phones, namely the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte. I replied to the email just the other day, lo and behold DHL delivered the package earlier this morning.

I was wondering how or why I was cherry-picked to do the trial considering my blog barely talks about tech issues or gadgets. However, based on my initial research on google blog search, it seems that fellow fashion bloggers The Fashion Assistant and Her Camera (UK), Dapper Kid (UK), Louis Vuitton Addicted (Australia) and Bagaholic Boy (Singapore) were also invited and they have already received their Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte phones before me.

Don't you think it's a very bold move for Nokia to reach out to fashion bloggers and courier them high-end phones for a free trial? Interesting.

Unfortunately, I don't get to keep this £1,000 (or approx US$1,700) baby. I have two weeks to try the phone out before I courier it back to London.

I'll keep you guys posted over the next few days with my review.
