Now I just hate my new phone..

Did it happen to you too?

[shaadi]

Its been one week I have got a new cell phone Nokia 3530 (also known as Nokia 3510i in UK and Nokia 3595 in US).

It was very exciting first but now I am just bored with my phone and thinking of selling it off - but which one will I buy is again a question :(

Just don't know what to do :(

:)

That's beacuse you bought a Nokia :)

Sorry just had too

[shaadi]

Sorry, why does Nokia make a difference?

I had to choose between a Nokia & Samsung and I got a Nokia 3530 insead a Samsung Truei

I don't want to turn this into an attack on any manufacturers, but I've got to agree with lazerzubb.

In my opinion Nokia makes the least useful phones on the market. Now, rather than try to address the real issues, like lack of functionality, they've gone to things like circular dial pads (imagine trying to use that in the dark) to dress up their phones externally.

Internally, there still beats the heart of a Nokia. And therein lies the problem.

Not to be picky but last time I looked nokia generally made their keypads internally illuminated. :)

Realistically there is very little to distinguish one mobile brand from another once you take away the gimmicks, that leaves just price and style - the reason nokia do so well is that they provide just enough style on a limited budget which gives them mass-market appeal.

There are more stylish phones around, but they generally cost a whole lot more which takes them out of the hands of the mass-market.

There would be more useful innovation if a *real* killer-app appeared for mobiles - however that does imply that mobile phone operators have enough sense not to run said killer-app into the ground through over-charging and mis-management.

Don't listen to them, Shaadi. Nokia's are great. My old phone was a Nokia, My wife's old phone was a Nokia, My new phone is a Nokia, my wife's new phone is a Nokia. Can't beat them for the basics such as good reception where others fail. (No, we're definitely not a Volvo family)

If you are thinking of changing, I'm really please with my 6610. Not a fancy PDA, but it has good phone book/diary features which sync up well with Outlook.

Well... Nokias have a very consistent interface, mostly exacly the same since the earliest phones. I'm currently using a 7250 which is perfect for my lifestyle. Personal organiser, camera, radio and huge 7Mb memory makes it perfect for my lifestyle.

I use a Nokia 3650 now and it beats all other phones I had in reception, which is very important to me. I had a Sony Ericcson T68i before and it was terrible on the same network.

:) You guys are so helpful...make me feel much better! Now I have changed my opinion about my Nokia 3530 - a phone is just a phone, first one will play with it then get bored, it does happen when you buy a new car too, but then its doesn't cost much to change a phone as it does for a car - and you start looking around for a change.
