BUYING A MOBILE

. These days there are so many models that buying one has become very difficult and stressful. Since I had to buy a mobile without a camera due to college rules, I was forced to take a dip into the sea of mobiles. The moment I went in I understood that I hadn’t entered a sea but an ocean of innumerable companies and myriad models. As an average individual, my foremost priority was the best model at the lowest model. Then the endless search began. I went through the latest models, standard ones, some awkward etc. but the problem was that nothing was perfect. Something or other defect was there. Then it was the battle of weighing the pros, cons and the price. Also this time the whole responsibility of the mobile lay in my hands as I was given full freedom to buy my choice. Luckily for me as the camera was a sure no, my testing models were limited. I am a person who even though not techs savvy, requires an mp3 player, expandable memory, decent software and a slim one. The only one I could get my hands on was the nokia e50.then; it was days of heavy scrutinizing. Even while picking my best friend, I hadn’t put in so much effort to find so much about her. I searched websites, read reviews, weighed its cons so much I felt very tensed. I kept telling myself, its only a mobile, but the demon in me snapped back that mobile is today’s mans best friend. The biggest joke was the user reviews. While some were of full praises for it others mercilessly murdered it. Which ones to believe, which not were haunting me day and night. Finally I thought of giving I a chance, as life is full of choices. I made it. Nokia e50.then it was the hunt for the lowest prices. I searched many shops with prices differing by hundreds of rupees. Yesterday I found the right shop and went and brought it. This is my story. Though this has been exaggerated within limits, I would like to emphasize the growing importance of these smart devices in the dull lives of us. as a tribute to my mobile, this whole post has been typed in it.
