While looking back my previous posts in this blog (thinking whether or not to make this blog public...), saw a lot of pictures taken by my first handphone. The quality is not bad!!!
This is my first handphone which I got during Form 1. My mother bought for me as I joined Girl Guides and was going to the first camp in my life. That time, it was very expensive as during that time, camera phone were still new technology. It was RM1,000++ in year 2005!
My Sony Ericsson K750i.
"K" in K750i stands for "camera phone". It is the way which Sony Ericsson used to categorise their products. There were "W" which stands for "Walkman phone". (I did a lot of research before finally deciding to buy this model!)
I love the CAMERA!!! With just a slide of the cover, the camera function will be activated and I can take picture almost instantly! This has helped me in taking a lot of quick motion pictures! Besides, through this phone, I have brushed up a little of my photography technique. ^.^ How to take photo from different angle, adjusting the direction of the sun light, taking macros, discovered by chance that it can zoom and on an object and blur out the background (but depends on its mood XD), using different lighting effect (such as daylight, cloudy, fluorescent, etc). Will miss this function the most!
Next is the TORCHLIGHT. It is not good to use as the flash when taking photos. I prefer natural light. But it has served me well in the dark! For example when there were power blackouts in my house, or when I became a stage crew for 文娱. Ahh... those good memories...
Although I don't have much space to store mp3 (have to save more space for photos :D ), but those few MUSICS which I specially selected were all my favourite. Sometimes when I am really down, I will listen to the songs alone while walking, enjoying the scenery. Those musics have accompanied me through my sad moments.
There are many more features of this handphone which I have grown used to. The games, alarm clock which can be set for two different time at once, notes which can be pinned, music garage which was one of the factor for me to choose this model but only used a few times, etc. Oh, do you see the string attached to the phone? It has been there for a few years already. Actually the string has another part which it can be connected to, but I have lost the other half. However, this string is really useful! When the phone is in the pocket of my tight jeans, I will use the string to pull my handphone out. XD Useful, right? :P It is almost going to break due to my heavy use, but still intact.
What's the most frustrating thing about this handphone? Well, there are two: the "wheel" at the front and also it's earphone compatibility. After using for a few years, the "wheel" started to malfunction. Sometimes it is hard to press for a certain direction. It wasted a lot of my time, especially when typing messages. About the earphone, only Sony Ericsson earphone can be used because the connector is different. And I prefer headphone compare to earphone. This caused me to seldom utilising the radio feature.
Why RIP? Well, it is 8 years old now, and its battery life is going to an end, I can see that, because I have to charge daily, compare to previously, where it can last for at least 3 days. Then recently, I discover that the battery has expanded a little, become fatter. My friend told me that explosion can happen and she had read such cases before.
Thus, now I am using a Nokia phone with no camera function. :( You ask me why I don't want to buy a smartphone? Well, there are lots of reasons... But I'm not going to say them here, because this is a post specially dedicated to my beloved first handphone! (Later it becomes jealous...) LOL!!! XP
Sigh... Why there is no more such handphones in the market? I don't want touch screen handphone....
Will miss you, K750i~~~
