i(my) Phone

When I received an iPhone as a birthday gift a few months ago, my joy knew no bounds. It became my favourite plaything for the next few days. But as with the shockingly predictable feature that's characteristic of any mobile phone user, I soon grew bored with my new toy. Yet, I thought I should list down the pros and cons of this gadget that initially inspired me loads.

THE TURN-ONS: (Later, I will tell you why I'm using this description for a phone)

1. The easy-to-use touch screen
2. I can access you tube,my e-mails and other favourite sites in a jiffy
3. It's got an amazing application store with hitherto unknown features(well,at least to me) like Urban spoon (where you shake your phone and it randomly selects a nearby restaurant for you to dine), mini piano, Shazam(the phone identifies music you hear on TV) & Hangman(a word game), to name a few from an ocean of applications.
4. I get to play sudoku without frantically searching for fresh newspapers all the time
5. the voice recorder provides excellent audibility


THE TURN-OFFS:

1. The phone is bulky
2. The appearance is nothing much to write about, and I have admired the sleeker nokia models a lot more
3. The pictures taken from the camera have poor clarity and resolution
4. There is no video recorder

Now, coming to why I used the terms turn-ons and turn-offs. That's because I always think that a mobile phone is like a woman(Or a man too, considering myself a feminist), something , that after a few months, you get bored with and invariably want to change. Now,that reminds me , "CHANGE" has become my latest favourite word, considering my latest fascination for this guy, Obama. I'm not an expert on his administrative policies, but the man undenyingly has loads of charisma and magnetism that is sure to bring him laurels in the future.

I'm always good at deviating from the main topic. But as I said, I'm bored with my phone and my eyes have already started roving to some of the funkier models that I see at the stores.

Now, I heard the latest blackberry storm is good. What say you?
