Two years ... that's how long we have been companions. We have never been apart for longer than a few hours. He is always there for me, reminding me about my tasks, my schedules and friends' birthdays and important dates.
He is always there to act as my "listening ear" when I just need to pen something down. He's the one who help to capture happy memories so that I can post them here ... I've scratched & bruised his face so many times that I have to give him a makeover several times over the past 2 years.
Sadly, he has aged and getting crankier. He has failed to wake me up for important functions (almost missed my flight if not for my bio-clock kicking in!) in the past and ignored phone calls and sms-es. The last straw came when I couldn't wake him up from his slumber ... I knew its time to say goodbye ....

After many "frustrating" discussions with good friend about which new phone to get ... I finally got myself the HTC Touch Enhanced on Saturday. Actually HTC Touch wasn't my choice. My ideal would be HTC TyTN II. But since the latter costs a lot more (and I mean A LOT!), I guess I have to stick to the former. The former is sleeker, inferior in processor speed as compared to the TyTN II but guess I will have to live with it :P
And best of all, I paid only $21 for it! The price w contract was $398. With a trade-in of $200 (I almost couldn't trade in the old one because it wasn't able to power up properly and the customer officer said I couldn't trade in. I told her it is working fine and I don't see why I can't trade in for such a small defect and after consulting with someone else, she relented. WHEW!!! Both my friend & I heaved a BIG sigh of relief!). I also used my Citibank-M1 bonus points of $107 to offset the phone. Hence I only paid $21!!!
Am very proud of myself for being thrifty and not splurging on a new phone.
Though the processor is still slow, I am not worse off in terms of functionality. So I'm not complaining.
Let's play with the new beauty for a while more and see the verdict ...
:)
