Sony Ericsson K608i

After using Nokia phone for about 6 year, I finally change to another brand, Sony Ericsson. Not that I do not like Nokia phone or I have anything against them. I still like Nokia. My previous Nokia models which I had used starting from Nokia 8210 to 8250 and eventually 3100 all proved to work well. Yes, I know I'm using all the very low end model .. but a phone is just a phone to me, I don't use it much except to call and to SMS.

I had used the Nokia 8210 for a few months only before changing it to Nokia 8250. Still remember initially the Nokia 8250 always 'hung' on me when I tried to access the message inbox. It seems to be some problem with the software inside and after upgrading the software, I don't remember the phone 'hung' again when I tried to access the message. Nokia phones are generally reliable.

Recently Singtel offered the Sony Ericsson K608i phone for upgrading without the need to put in any money outfront and also because I had been considering to change to a Sony Ericsson for some time and so I just grabbed the opportunity to change my phone.

When I first saw the Sony Ericsson K608i, I found it to be quite big compared to my Nokia 3100 and slightly heavier but I like the black color and the design of it. Looks quite cool. The only thing which I don't quite like it is because it looks a bit thick (about 2cm). Other than that, I like the rich color display and 1.3 megapixel camera that comes with it.

Not to mention, it is relatively easy to use as it is quite similar to my Nokia 3100. In addition, it is a 3G phone and thus allows me to enjoy the latest mobile services - video call, media streaming and broadband mobile internet. I can practically have access to all the services and information I need - wherever I am. I am happy with the Sony Ericsson K608i as I remember, a phone is just a phone. Or is it?

Nowadays, the mobile phone has evolved into something much more complicated. It has not only evolved into a power 'camera' but has also become a 'mobile office' with its wireless feature, as in the Nokia N80, which allows you added business efficiency. There is just no more excuse for not working anymore.
