Farewell to my Nokia 6800

I did something quite major this afternoon - I sold off my handphone, a Nokia 6800. It was a good phone that never once (ok maybe not never but at least very very seldom) let me down and honestly, I kinda miss it now that I've sold it off. So in memory of my sturdy and faithful Nokia 6800, I am making this post.

Why did I sell it off? Well, cos it was getting old. Although it was still working fine (most of the time) and looked quite new, I was getting a little bugged by its limitations. Its screen resolution was too low, the phone had no built in camera and other little stuff. Basically, I wanted to upgrade my handphone. But if I bought a new phone, my current phone would definitely fall into disuse and become no more than another dust collecting item in my already crowded room. It had to go.

So why do I miss it? Well, probably cos I don't have a new phone yet and I currently have to struggle with an aging Nokia 3310. Another reason was that I didn't expect to be able to sell it so soon. I thought that no one would want to buy my old 6800, but unexpectedly, I got 10 offers in just 1 week, and they were good offers. So I sold it, much much sooner than I expected. I guess on the bright side, my 6800 is now in the hands of a new owner who would hopefully treasure it and use it, instead of having it lying around in my room just collecting dust, so I guess it's the right decision.

Well, to end of this post here's a picture of my old, sturdy and faithful 6800 together with all its accessories. May it stay in good working condition for a long time to come...
