hello again. went for the Nokia event for the new Lumia 610 the other day at group therapy (a cafe) and it was good! they provided so much food and it was a nice cosy event!
anyway, as some people will know, i'm quite a loner, and so i was so super glad that yina also went for the event! stole this pic from her:
the first thing we did when we reached the place was go straight to the food. come to think about it, we must have looked really hungry/greedy :S we started eating quite a bit - the quiche and duck salad were really good - and by the time the event started we were full! the thing is, after the nokia person introduced the new lumia 610, we were told by the organisers that it was time for dinner! yina and i were super shocked - we thought that the quiche and salads were our dinner already and we were so full by then! BUT of course, how could we miss out on good food right? i said to yina "see lar, told you don't eat so much just now already... just now was just starters and we ate so much already....", but a few seconds after saying that we went for our second meal in 1h, and had pasta, soup and blahblahblah. being cheapo meant that i had to try a bit of everything, including all the desserts - really eat until can puke. thinking back, i'm so thankful that my XS topman denim shirt didnt burst.
anyway, i feel like i should talk a little about the phone as it's really quite an awesome phone! who knows, i might be a good famous tech blogger in future, and people would come to my blog for good advice/reviews on phones, cameras and other gadgets. (still dreaming about being a famous blogger, you might have realised.)
one thing that struck me the most is how affordable the Lumia 610 is! for singtel users, it's just $48 with iOne Plus contract (the cheapest $25.68/month plan), and $0 with most other mobile subscription plans. and the phone is just $379 without any plan! it's probably the cheapest smartphone in the market right now, and i would say it might just be the best deal! the phone is really user-friendly (almost dummy-proof) and it has everything that i would need in a phone (you could download all your apps just like iPhone) and it has a 5mp camera! to be extremely honest, i can't think of anything that i need/use currently (on my current iPhone 4S) that cannot be found/gotten with the lumia 610.
for more info: (i stole this from nokia's website)
i would give this phone a 9/10 taking into account everything! i think it would be perfect for anyone on a budget (esp young students who are getting their first phones - but then again, i notice that many young primary school kids are getting expensive phones like iPhones and the Samsung Galaxy phones these days.........kids these days........), or anyone who is getting a smartphone for the first time, or just anyone who loves a great deal!
