Sony Ericson Z610i vs Panasonic VS2

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

Tomorrow is the day. I'll know if I'm lucky enough to win the Sony Ericson Z610i.

Entered a quiz contest by the Straits Times Urban section, and had sent an email to participate in this contest. If I'm chosen, I'll get a Sony Ericson Z610i. Then, if the colour is but pink, I can choose to give it to my dad, who keep asking for a bluetooth phone, so that he can go hands free when he drive, and upgrade my contract to a pink Z610i.. if it is pink, I will keep it of course, and upgrade my line and get a bluetooth phone for my dad.

Of course, I may not be able to win the phone, as the chances are slim. (I saw Waisum's name on the Urban section as one of the editors, hopefully she cando something when she sees my name.. hee..) If not getting the phone is the case, then I'll upgrade mine to Z610i pink then, when there is stock, as at my last check, pink is out-of-stock.. but with my plan (Singtel Classic), I need to pay $200.. cos my current phone won't worth $200 for trade-in.. haiZz.. the most expensive phone I ever paid for, was with $100, my Samsung A310 (or is it A320? forgot) 4 years ago..

I was also thinking of getting Panasonic VS2 instead. Cos i like the colour. Pink! Haha.. A phone that looks cute and feminine.. but people have been giving me negative feedback about Panasonic phones.. HaiZ.. this phone is going at $0.. And this IS THE PHONE that I was looking for.. but pink is currently out-of-stock too..

Actually, I'm in a dilemma of whether to upgrade my phone, and which one is the best choice, so that I won't regret, or rather cannot regret cos it was my choice. I've got people telling me that Sony Ericson, Samsung, Nokia are some brands to consider. I've also got a friend who highly recommend Nokia to me, as she has no problems using it till now, while she encountered numerous faults with Sony Ericson and Samsung, discouraging me to buy them.. but I have had my experience of having a Nokia phone auto shutting down.. And friends who sent their Nokia phones to the service centres, immediately after their purchase, for so many times that Nokia changed another phone for them. I nearly had mine changed too..

Then my sister recommend Sony Ericson, and most of my colleagues are Sony Ericson hardcore fans. But my aunt told me that one of her colleague need to spend 5 full minutes to ON her Sony Ericson phone everytime.. I was like "duh! So no need to buy le lo.."

I'm not choosing Samsung this time, cos most of it are in black colour now. Yes, the colour is sleek and nice, but I'm not looking for such a powerful looking phone.. I prefer less solid colours..

From what I gather, the phones nowadays do not last. They are no longer as stable as they used to be, as companies are now waging in hot battles against each other in the release of new phones with more new functions. And they face out as fast as they are introduced too, if not faster. There is no one brand that is more superior than others in an all-rounded manner. They are all as good, and as bad, as each other. The only differences are whether you are "heng" (lucky) or you are "suay" (unlucky) in getting a phone, and to see when your phone gives problems, not whether it gives you problems.

My current phone is already 2 years and 5 mths old.. it's only a basic phone, but at least with polyphonic ringtones.. it's not that old till only having only mono ringtones.. it's still working and considered "healthy", with one of the keys being more stubborn only. Had not taken it for service at all till now. So I "heng" lo.
