Nokia N97

Many months ago, if some would have remembered, I blogged about the Sony Ericsson Xperia - the IT phone during its launch. But after looking and feeling the real thing in my hand, it doesn't impress me like how it does on the website. So, I scratched the idea of owning such an expensive and high-tech phone.

Nokia N97

The Nokia N97 has been creating a buzz among my office people. When I catch the first glimpse of it, its features somehow drawn to me. I have to admit, what impresses me first was the qwerty keyboard. Then when I got to know more of its functions and features - Facebook & Friendster applications, Wi-Fi, 5.0 megapixel, GPS and loads more to discover, it does create a desire in me.

So, in the end... I REALLY WENT AND BOUGHT IT! It really cost me a BOMB! Like serious MAJOR BOMB! Not to say I am regretting to get the phone. But somehow, I wasn't very excited about it. Firstly I know those around me would say I am crazy to pay such a price for a phone. And worst, scold me for buying it. Well, some really did scolded me crazy! Although it actually is my money that I am spending, with them scolding me really made me feel even more down. I was already in an aftershock state as I never bought something so expensive for myself before. I don't spend so much on myself except for the time I bought my car. My aftershock state even went into making me only slept for 3 hours. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep back. =(

Lucky thing, there are a few friends who were supportive. They told me not to be so disappointed about it. Once awhile I should pamper myself and treat like I am rewarding myself. After all, I am spending my hard earn money on myself. Furthermore, I don't change phone always. Thanks to them, I am feeling a tad bit better. =)

The one person whom I'm afraid will scream at me was my mother. BUT surprisingly, she didn't scream at me at all. She was speaking to me normally and saying why I buy such an expensive phone where I could have just save the money. Well, to make my money worth, I am going to use this phone for a long time. I'm estimating about 3-5 years. Yes, I know what's the price I am paying it for and I'm going to make sure I'll utilise it often. So, please please, can stop calling me crazy ah? I'm really turning crazy, you know?

Anyhow, I'm now beginning to accept the fact that I am now owning an N97. It takes time. With all the negativity around me, it takes MORE time. I just want to pass this period calmly. I don't want to suffer anymore aftershock just because I bought an N97. So, I hope everything will just die down after this and let me be in peace with my phone. I'm hoping for that!
