The Evolution Of My Cellphone

Ever wonder how cellphones become from this to this? Did you notice the big change?

This made me recall the cellphones that passed through my hands.

Nokia 2100
Term used: 1 year (2007-2008)

This is not really mine. This phone belongs to my parents, I think, for their business. But I claim it as mine because I had it most of the time. I just enjoy playing games in that phone. Space Impact and Snake are the things I really miss about this phone and also, Bantumi, Bounce and Nature Park from the other first Nokia phones.

Nokia 3120 Classic
Term used: 1 year (2008-2009)

Yay! My cellphone improved because of two reasons – First, it is mine, really mine and second, it has camera. But the sad thing is that I don’t have textmates by that time, because back then, parents believe that cellphones and other gadgets are not for children like us. So, my classmates don’t have cellphones. And so, I have no textmates.

Nokia 3110
Term used: 1 year (2009-2010)

I realized the use of cellphones by this time because I already have textmates. Parents believe that we are in the right age to have cellphones. Also by that time, I enjoy taking pictures with that phone because I could transfer images from my cellphone to my computer and upload them on Friendster.

LG KF350 Ice Cream
Term used: 2 years (2010-2012)

This is my favorite cellphone. It is really cute and girly. I love its design, the lights it produced in the screen and at the back of the phone, the sound whenever I click every botton. This was the time when I learned sleeping late at night because I really enjoyed using the cellphone. But since I’m not a kid anymore, I think, LG Ice Cream won’t suit my personality today. It’s still cute, btw.

S5360 Samsung Galaxy Y
Term used: 5 months (2012)

This phone was my first touch screen phone that’s why I enjoy using it at first. But at the same time, this was a free phone for every purchase of postpaid plans, I think. So with that, I could see many people using Samsung Galaxy Y as their phone. And I hate it because they have the same phone as mine. So, I changed my cellphone right away.

L8530 Samsung Galaxy Beam
Term used: 2 years (2012-2014)

If Samsung Galaxy Y is a common phone, this phone, Samsung Galaxy Beam is totally opposite. I couldn’t see other people that have the same phone as mine, except my sister. To add on that, I also couldn’t see available cases and other accessories for this phone wherever I go. But still I enjoy it because its built in projector made it unique and useful to my presentations, movies and other stuff.

LG L60 Dual
Term used: 1 year (2014-2015)

No comment. I didn’t use this phone that much since I have Samsung E1182 at the same time for texting and I have tablet for browsing. My father gave it to me that’s why I had it. Uhmm, features? Android OS v4.4.2, dual-core 1.3 GHz, SMS, MMS, Email, Push Mail, IM, FM radio, A-GPS, Java MIDP emulator and geo-tagging and panorama camera.

Samsung E1182
Term used: 2 years (2014-2016)

I call this phone as my anti-snatch phone. Since I stay in Manila, where many unexpected things happen, it’s good to have a phone that is safe to use wherever I go. I don’t think snatchers or holdapers will take an effort to steal this one because I think, they prefer touch screen phones. They’re choosy, you know!

Iphone 6s
Term used: present

Since today is a generation of selfies, I’m looking for a phone with high quality camera not just for selfies, but also for unexpected moments to capture and I believe that the best choice for this is an Iphone, Iphone 6s specifically since it was the latest when I bought it. What can I say? Everyone knows how amazing this phone is, well, except for its battery life.
