Nokia 3250

Life these days is a bit hazy and messy. The rate at which different things are happening to you is even higher than the breathing rate. So, thought to write on a gizmo somewhat responsible for taking the essence of life from the life, 'mobile'. A mobilephone isn’t a big thing these days…everyone has it – from school-lads to MCD sweepers. I had a different story; I bought my cell after the successful completion of my second year of engg with my OWN money (proud of this fact).
3rd July 2006, I went to the most expensive showroom in South Delhi and walked out with Nokia 3250 leaving behind a lumpsum of Rs 16200 (even paid all the taxes and VATs)...and I have no regrets.... Here are the reasons of me liking it :


Advantage 3250 –

1) The mobile USP’s lies in its camera…extremely unique. The 2-Mpix camera is placed on the left sideline of the cell. In addition to this, camera can be rotated by 270 degrees.

2)
No 'hanging' problem with Nokia 3250; one of the most successful musiZ phones which Nokia brought to India; when compared with N-70, 3250 got the upper hand quite easily.

3)
Battery – very reliable

4)
Durability – Like many sincere careless teenagers, the first ritual I performed with my 3250 was dropping it (that too in front of my parents). NOKIA stands out for durability…line true for its most handsets.

5)
Dedicated music buttons that the back. All you need is to flip the lower part of 3250 and cell changes to i-pod ;)

6)
Softwares esp. the photo editor…but nowdays, softwares aren’t a big issue!!


Disadvantage 3250 –

1) For all those going for superb flashing looks, 3250 is not your baby (though it’s available in four colours – black, silver, green, pink).

2) Slightly burly.




My adventure with 3250 –

3250 has been my BEST PAL. Past one year, it’s with me 24*7…in all dark and happy acts. The idea of ‘SPEAKing PICtures’ became possible thanks to 3250. Blogs like ‘Bunking and Ragging’, ‘CSI trip 2006’, ‘Toiletry Mystery’, ‘And YES I finally DID’ etc has seen important contributions from my cell. Movie Reviews of ‘Guru’ and ‘Casino Royale’ too saw its artistic usage. In addition to this, I used it for a low level string operation in ‘But this is reality’. Apart from that, the cover pic of the blog ‘Anything For You, Ma’am’ got me the first prize in various digital photography completions. Ending with two beautiful lines :

When you are a young man, you do fall in LOVE with your first purchase, and perhaps this was my first love...this line stolen from BLINK...is 100% true... . LIFE is not defined by the number of breaths you take, but it is defined by the number of moments that take your breaths away...and I got a lot of these, thanx again to 3250.
