Congratulations to me! I got a new cell phone!
Yup, I have a new Nokia 2700 phone and the second one that I owned as brand-new.
I had my first phone back in December 2000. I think I first had a 5110, then came a 3210.
I had my beloved 3210 when I graduated from college, while I was still working and kept it until around early 2006 when I was already in law school. I had fun with my 3210 as I was the butt of jokes on why I didn't by a new one considering that I was already earning. I answered that I don't need a new one since it was still working. And I think the major, major reason was that at least if it gets snatched in Metro Manila, I won't worry much about the phone and how much it costs. I just have to worry about my sim and all the contacts. We even had this running joke that even if I would be very willing to surrender my phone, the robber would just let me keep my phone .. haha
Thereafter, my aunt gave me her Nokia Red Flip Phone (I don't know the model .. haha)., wherein I had fun doing the flips but I guess that resulted to more necessary fixes.
Then, after a year or so, I had this hand-me-down Nokia Gray Phone (I don't know what model again .. haha) and still keeps it to this day. And when I went to Manila for the bar last year, I also had another hand-me-down Nokia Orange Phone (Yes, I identify it by color .. haha)
Now, I have this Nokia 2700 as a replacement of the Nokia Orange Phone.
And the fact that I am most proud of is that I didn't spend any money to acquire any of those phones. Sure, I may have spend a few bucks to have some of them repaired. But I did not purchase any one of those.
The first new phone I got was a gift from my mom. The rest are hand-me-downs, which I did not pay for. And the recent one is a freebie from one of the networks (telecommunication networks, not TV networks .. hehe)
Oh, I know .. I'm kuripot!
