Sony Ericsson w960i

Finally changed a new phone after living with my crappy motorola v3i which makes me send so many redundant sms due to the 'special' function of auto-sending sms when i'm in the midst of typing it. Part of the reason why i always exceed my 500 free sms.

And so i got myself a new phone and a new contract. By the way, Starhub is offering 2000 free sms and 200 free outgoing minutes for new lines under PowerValue 100 Student plan. Personally i think it's a good deal, despite many complaints about poor and bad reception of Starhub lines. Well, if you will to look at a more economical point of view, Starhub's student plan is better in value and in case you guys are not aware, Singtel tends to overcharge your bills.

Just personal thoughts and view, so don't quote me or sue for my words. Anyway, Singtel's student plan offers you 1000 sms, but the 2nd 500 is only for Singtel to Singtel numbers. I just wonder how they actually do the count, for that my friends are having issues that they don't get the 2nd 500 free smses. Of cause, the call time is charged by per minute. On the contrary, Starhub gives 2000 sms and you don't have to worry if it's limited to Starhub-Starhub only. It's free for all. And it's per second billing. Given that the 2 student plans are the same price, you be your own judge which is more value for money. Of cause if you're very conscious about the reception, Singtel is your choice then.

Move on to my new phone, Sony Ericsson w960i. I've got a review here. After getting it for days, i think i'm pretty much used to the phone now. The touch screen isn't really that great if you have big fingers and thumb, but along the way, you will learn the proper technique to handle it. Guess the best part for me is the 8GB built-in memory and the WiFi function.

Camera wasn't that bad, but the crap part about Sony Ericsson phone is that despite it's a 3G phone that allows video calls, you can't use the front camera to take photos. Battery life isn't that great either. Probably need to do a recharge every 2 days if you are normal user with calls, sms and some usage of the functions.

Overall, i think it's 8/10. Decided to do this short review for that it's something i can strike off my wishlist! Thanks! Dedicated to you.

Till then.
