Samsung F330, my new phone

Finally! The phone is already mine! (Cheers!) Who would have thought that my 13th month pay will come as early as the 1st half of October?

Anyway, I am really really happy with this gadget because it's sleek, it's effin cool and I fell inlove with it when I first saw it way back 3 months ago.

Originally, I wasn't planning to buy this phone, I really want a Samsung u700 but the sales girl in Samsung told me that the front camera of the U700 can only be used for video calls and not for taking pictures. She recommended the F330 which somehow, I find a cute phone. Back then I didn't know that it is available in 3 colors because only the white one is on display.

It was first introduced in 2007, most of the navigation buttons when it is closed are sensor-sensitive buttons except for the center button which displays the Play / Pause function. And it's a slide-up phone, that actually makes it look more modern and professional.

One thing I like about Samsung phones is that they don't easily go out of style, unlike Nokia, months will only pass and another hot phone will be introduced that will overlap the other's sleekness. Like before, the coolest phone that they introdices early last year was the Nokia 6300 but a couple of months later a new set of Nokia phones were introduced again. Now, looks to me like the 6300 doesn't look that stylish and cool anymore.
