One Drop Too Many
Looks like I’ve to go phone shopping again. My trusty K750i has been with me for two wonderful years. Now, like an out grown puppy, I stopped treating it with tender loving care and hence this.
It slipped off my fingers as i took it out of my shirt pocket in a hurry to answer a call. The front plate won’t close back as the locking clip is broken, and due to the awkward position of the screen cover, dust is getting into the LCD display and it has made listening to the ear piece difficult. The gap between ear and ear piece widens because the cover couldn’t close, which made listening rather difficult. Its like having volume tuned to 60%.
Having a phone that’s going to die soon is one problem. Finding a replacement will be another headache for me. I have several short listed models (namely, the N95, iPhone 3G or a dopod 838pro) that I’m interested in, but then since I’ve gotten so used to the K750i, it’s hard to find a phone with the same characteristics of the K750i but better.
Things that I am picky about choosing a phone:
LED flash (doubles as flash light)
Instant camera activation
fast software response
