On catching up with handphone trends

You've been saving up and checking out the latest phones that suit your needs (and luxury)... you spend hours at the office reading reviews on the latest most happening phones (well, i did), and finally, (if you are in singapore) you sign a 2 years of mobile slavery contract to a relatively expensive mobile provider at a relatively expensive rates to be able to get the mobile phone of your choice at a affordable price. And slowly, in fact time seems to move so fast on mobile models, in just months you feel your mobile is so old and outdated... does it sound familiar?
It was an easy choice when I chose sony ericsson W850i, i've always had my eyes on one of those walkman phones, and hey it is working totally fine, but seeing the other newer models in the market now, how i wish i could upgrade soon, but remember, the contract..?

Gone are the days when mobile phone models were easy to remember and catch up with, the most famous being the 'banana' nokia phone, 8210, 8310, 3310, etc. Nowdays each mobile giant has come up with some series of phones with the models numbered accordingly.. and each series would have their our speciality. It took a while after sony ericsson's walkman series that nokia came up with their music series. The latest from nokia N95 (for the time being), i like their tagline, it is wat computers have become...

And now the latest craze of iPhone is on, but sadly it is not hitting the Asian market yet... it is seriously very impressive with the touchpad screen, you fingers can do all the work... but i just hope that the screen is made to withstand all the touchings and rubbings and not to mention chipped fingernails!
