MY NEW TOY: Nokia N79 Black Edition

I know it's not a GADGET Blog, but excuse me... Got a time out since there's NO Car for me to review at the moment... Also, can't resist to blog about my LATEST TOY...

Two days ago, I sold off my previous phone SONYERICSSON K850i. "I'm BACK TO USING NOKIA". FIRST Nokia since 2005 and 2nd SYMBIAN Phone, Nokia 3230 being 1st. ALso, 1st NOKIA after owning 3 SONYERICSSON ROW... still keeping 1 as 2nd phone, SonyEricsson K618i because it's a MIDLAND ORIGINAL PHONE.

The replacement phone is an Original AVAXX unit. It's "STAR WARS EDITION" hence it's BLACK in colour (bought used 3 months old from LOWYAT Forummer for RM9xx), NOT the NORMAL WHITE edition. See photos later. Hey, an original AVAXX white unit STILL costs RM1299.

I sold off my K850i for RM410. I know it's cheap (Mkt value RM500), but initially, I taught the phone got problem (speakers), hence low asking price. Later, I found out that it's PROBLEM FREE. Damage is done, post low price, sell low price. Speaker prob was due to a call to Vietnam...

Okay, back to my new phone Nokia N79. The previous owner FORMATTED the phone, NOT even 1 N-gage game reserved for me. NOT ONLY THAT, he failed give me the DATA CABLE... Yesteray, I went to AVAXX (Nokia Centre) to update firmware... WOW, what a list of Software... Including, Pocket Office, Dictionary, GARMIN Software...

Picture worth 1000 words, here's some pictures...
