irritating much?
ok, here's the deal. i wanted a new phone and i've been oogling and googling at the N93 which has yet to come out. i've been thinking of it for so long that m really sure i wanted it. ...until i told my dad i wanted it. well, i told my mother first, and she was all, sure! yeah, that looks great. and this is my convo with my dad. joy.
m: dad, can i have a new phone? -thinking that he would get me one cus HE has a N70 and is forever losing his phones and getting the latest ones the next day-
d: why? what's wrong with your current one?
m: -thinking, it's old and outdated? DUH.- erm... i'm thinking of getting a camera phone, cus i want a camera, so i think it's better to have two in one. plus, mine's broken. -silence- i think i sat on it. hehehe. hehe. he. hm.
d: -laughed, but did not really laugh?-
m: oh, and the space button is wonky, sometimes it's not very sensitive, i press then nothing happen. so right, m thinking of getting the N93. -shows dad the phone on the net-
d: wow... are u sure u need such a super duper phone?
m: -thinking what's up with the 'super duper'?- but the camera is very good, 3 megapixels, then dun need to get a camera already.
d: -reads from screen- video recording? the N93's more for videos.
m: -thinking that i've always loved videos-
d: then like that then i'd rather get u a normal phone and a camera u know.
m: really? u mean a camera is cheaper? (hey, i thought the phone was cheap)
d: of course!
m: -dunno whether to be happy or not, cus initially i wanted a camera n keep my old phone cus i still liked it, but i thought it was cheaper if it's two in one, and lately my phone's been getting on my nerves, i don't love it as much anymore-
d: ok la, since yours is an upgrade then i can try to go to the shop and take a look.
m: oh, ok. -leaves room-
NEXT DAY.
m: dad, see right, this phone (LG chocolate) is just a normal phone then maybe u can just get me a separate camera.
d: LG?? are you sure it's good?
m: no.
d: -pulls out advert on cheap, discounted phones- here, u see the (ugly) N73 is quite cheap now. or the (bulky) N70 also.
cus u know right, even though the phone's camera may be very good, it can never be as good as a normal camera. -contradicting himself cus he's NOW dissapproving of me having the LG and a separate camera. and yet, indirectly telling me that it's better to have a separate camera-
m: oh, but those nokia ones are kinda thick. -goes to check them out anyway- -sees N72- hey dad, i also don't mind this one.
d: but that one is also as thick as the other two, they're all very thick.
-thinks a while- OH, all these have 3G, for you i think 3G is quite useless, you won't really use it. -looks on paper- oh, this sony ericsson W810i, you know, my friend has it, he said it's very good you know, there's an external memory card slot, and the memory card is 2GB you know!
m: -WOWWWW, ch'yeah right- okok, i'll go and look it up.
m: -after looking it up- dad, ALL the phones i looked up has 3G including the sony ericsson one.
d: er. er. er... but you don't like the N series right? too thick.
m: but the N93 quite alright wad.
d: oh, but don't have external memory card slot right? wah, u know without it ar, just take a few pictures and no more space already u know.
m: got external memory card slot.
d: oh, -quickly changing subject- you know ar, the sony ericsson one has walkman, can store your songs from itunes you know.
m: yeah, but i have an ipod already, it's kinda useless if i get it right.
-then i saw the K800i at their site, so i zi dong and went to click it-
d: oh, i think this one also quite good, it focuses more on the camera, also it's 3.2 megapixel. anyway the Nseries not good one la, they keep saying it so good but it's really not. aiya, you think about it. -quickly leaves-
i'm confused. i SO don't get him at all. he didn't want me to get the N93 cus it was probably too expensive, so went for cheaper stuff, but he contradicts himself saying that they're not so good. so he goes to another not so good one thats just from a different brand, and goes to a better one. urgh, he goes round and round and round the bush and in the end, no one gets anything. and i could tell he just didn't want a nokia, i don't get why. i've grown on nokia, i find messaging VERY HARD if it's some other phone. and plus, i bet the sony ericsson K800i is just gonna end up the same price as the N93, UHHH, XS. and i don't like his friends, haha, he's even more influencial than me, which is shocking. and he's like trying to prove his stand, but is terribly failing. why can't he just give an outright YES or NO, and ask me to find something else. save everyone the time.
