That's Hot.

I stole my sister's old brick of a phone to use as a temporary replacement until I bothered to get myself a spanking new one, because, well, my old spanking new phone got stolen before.

IMG_7986
The monster couldn't even fit in my bag properly.

But after three months of crying myself to sleep at night and throwing bricks heavenward while listening to emo songs I finally got my shit back together and got around to getting me a new phone. It's pretty damn sweet. Okay I lied. It's freaking sexy and if it was a human I would jump it, rip its clothes of and... uh.... have tea with it.

Hello Sony Ericsson w810i.

IMG_7989
Hot.

Being a Nokiahead I'm sure I've said that I would never get anything BUT a NOkia EVAR.

Well, I lied.

I mean, I still really do want to get one of them cool N series with the sweet 3G but right now it's a little too bulky and a little too FUCKING EXPENSIVE. DAMN YOU NOKIA. WHY MUST YOU MAKE IT SO HARD ON ME. WHY?!?!?!

IMG_8001
Strictly for comparative purposes only.

Anyway. MY w810i is sweeter than yours because it's totally like, white. WHITE okay. THE SYMBOL OF PURITY. INNOCENCE. STERILISATION. FEMINITY. PEACE DOVES.

Totally better than your boring mundane it's-not-even-a-colour-but-an-empty-space black.

Not gay

What I really LIKE about this phone is that
1. It is ridiculously sexy tiny. (3250 was as bulky as a brick)
2. It is ridiculously sexy light. (3250 was as heavy as a brick)
3. It has a ridiculous night light. (3250 doesn't have any of that shit)
4. the camera is orgasmic. (3250's camera.. huh what camera)
5. Big big screen - all the more better for me to check out.... videos.

It even came with some really gay Lee Hom images and video - which I'm sure is only available for the ASIAN phone markets. Angmoh people won't even know who the flying fuck this gay looking chink is. I mean, I'm like, Lee Hom's GREATEST FAN EVER and I REALLY WANT TO HAVE HIS BABIES, but lately he's been gayin' it up a little too much for my liking.

Took some test shots with the 2MP camera function and since I readily admit that I'm a chronic can-not-be-saved-doomed-to-an-eternity-in-hell-camwhore and have a big generous heart, I willingly sacrificed myself (and your eyes) for the greater good of this little camera test.

Pictures are not edited to correct lighting or sharpness or whatever you photoshoppers usually do to make your pictures appear prettier. I am testing the greatness of my camera here, not to showcase my lack of hotness etcetc... But I did collage it, which wouldn't effect the quality of the photos whatsoever.

Daylight, without flash:

Night, with flash:

Almost as good as a REAL CAMERA OMG. I must admit that the camera function is WAYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyy better than my old new freaking Nokia 3250's where the pictures turn out as grainy as hell and at a certain distance, comes out distorted and off-coloured. Nokia 3250 takes absolutely SHITTY night pictures, and the "night mode" doesn't help much. SE one has flash, which pwns the Nokia's camera function upside down and makes it its bitch. What a hoe.

What I really DISLIKE about this phone is:
1. It's not as user friendly as any Nokia phone I've ever used. It's lacking so many little things I've always taken for granted with a Nokia. Maybe I'm just biased. Maybe I'm just too used to NOkia. Maybe the SE is just gay.
2. The in two built games are pathetic. One of them which I bothered trying was a gayed up version of the classic tetris which my 14 year old sister LOVE to bits, but she's 14 years old, and she worships Rihanna... so.. trust her taste? No.
3. The Walkman function is also a little gay.
4. THe Radio dunction is very prone to white noise.

5. AND MOST OF ALL [commence rant]

I FUCKING HATE THE SMS FUNCTION WITH A VENGEANCE. HOW CAN THEY WHAT THE HELL. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! Look, I am very anal with my SMS function, as I abuse it to BITS. The average 400-500 smses a MONTH is a good indication of how FREAKING important SMSing is to me. So, no do NOT give me that crap about how it takes getting USED to BECAUSE IT TAKES MORE than the patience of a SAINT to fucking get used to it. I'll get used to it when I DIE maybe, because that's probably how LONG it'll take ME to get use to it.

First of all, the fucking keypads are so HARD even elephants would have problem trying to fucking key anything with their super duper elephant strength. I have to deliberately and forcefully hit every. single. key pad right smack in the center of it before the software can recognise the freaking letter. If I go too fast sometimes it misses the letter. If I go too slow, it just drives me MAD HULKSMASH. YEARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!11111one.

Secondly the "SPACE" button is NOT on the "0" keypad, but ON THE "#" keypad so that COMPLETELY FUCKS up my smsing rhythm (I do it without T9 because T9 is for faggots), which results in me having to ERASE A LOT which THEN leads to another PAIN IN THE ASS.

The FUCKING Erase button which is typically the "C" is NOW on the RIGHT side, NOT the left side which is normally where the "C" button was on ALL my freaking NOkias. Now the left side is saved for the almighty "Go Backwards" button so everytime I fuck up a letter (which is FUCKING OFTEN NOW WITH THESE RIDICULOUSLY UNFRIENDLY KEYPADS AS SENSITIVE AS SANDSTONES) my left thumb would instinctively press on the "Go Backwards" where it would take me to completely DIFFERENT window and my sms message would go byebye and BE GONE. Forever! Rinse! Repeat! Until I feel like smashing the fucking contraption with a sledgehammer then use the sledgehammer to smash MY head in to get rid of the stupid HEADACHE from trying to SMS. ARGH!!! INFURIATING^INFINITY!

WHY DOES IT FREAKING NEED THE "GO FUCKING BACK" BUTTON??? IT IS SO FUCKING REDUNDANT! THE "C" IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING! GO BACKWARDS. CANCEL. DELETE. ERASE. EVERYTHING! OKAY! I MEAN WHO HASN'T BEEN A FREAKING NOKIA USER BEFORE?!?! EVERYBODY AT ONE POINT OF TIME HAS BEEN A NOKIA USER! SO STICK WITH WHAT WORKS! WHY FIX SOMETHING WHEN IT ISN'T BROKEN STUPID FUCKED UP TRY HARD I WANT TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THATOTHER PHONE BRAND NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES EVEN IF IT MEANS SACRIFICING THE USER FRIENDLINESS OF PHONE BECAUSE WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT USERS THEY'LL JUST BUY ANYTHING WE SHIT OUT TO THEIR FACES ANYWAY ARRRRGGGHhhhh!!!!

[end rant]

Oh god. I have a headache now.

Funny thing was, I did have a go with the keypads on a friend's similar model. I thought it was alright then, but I forgot about testing it for SMSing.... hahaha... totally asking for it. What a dumbass. Sigh.

IMG_7994

Anyway.

Despite my over the top bitchings about that bit, I still like my phone though. It's still pretty fucken sweet. I only bitch about things I'm fond off. It's when I'm indifferent about it, that's when it should be shitting steel.

Kthx!

    FA: Faggot

  6. Why did you buy the phone despite all the complaints and disliking the interface?

    Just because it's white?

    You could have just painted the 3250 white.

    FA: You could let KY bend you over and fuck you in the ass or something

    ReplyDelete
  7. After training your finger strength you can finger...your phone?

    FA: After this, I'll probably be able to finger ANYTHING. ;)

  9. About any Java-based game can be downloaded to your SE.
    and once you are used to SE, it's hardly you'll turn back to Nokia... coz they are gay.

    Or maybe SE is gay, and you bought they phone coz you are gay too.

    FA: Yeah. I just bitching for fucks only lah my life loses its meaning if I don't bitch about EVERYTHING.

  15. nokia is lame. the last good nokia phone was the 2210 -- throw here and there also tak rosak.

    i switched from nokia to se. also had to adjust my sms rhythm and what not.

    best of all, i learnt how to use the t9 ;)

  16. suan, i thought your nipple not functioning properly anymore?

    uhm, i mean the phone nipple joystick thingy.

    se build quality lame, nokia just about everything is lame, bleh don't know what phone to go for next.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think the 810i is pretty slick, despite whatever short-comings you highlighted. Most of it just requires some adjustments on your side after all those Nokia years. Once you're into it, I'll guarantee you'd start shouting at Nokia for those outrageous prices slapped on crappy phones.

    Enjoy the phone!

    FA: Yeah. I shouldn't be writing about it now since it's still the "getting to know you" phase. But despite all that bitching I still like it lah. hehe

  18. Trust you to make a post on cellphones sound 25SX.

  21. Nokia sucks, SE interface is much better, Nokia is so stone-age, you aren't used to it, you will learn it, it will take over you!

    FA: Still got the SE in the end mah. :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm still waiting for SE850i and pray hard that the keypad is designed for human usage and not elephants.

    The white one, such a babe~

  28. Hi,
    Is that a rare colour of W810i or limited edition?It certainly looks more orgasmic than the camera.Those black ones are just like thousands of overly duplicated trinket which yea...not unique.I agree that the sms-ing sucks and lag to max which makes u wanna put a few more scratches on the screen or just resort to snail mail instead.But then,u'll get use to it sooner or later.Take care :)

    FA: It's a newer edition, apperently. The white is BEAUTIFUL.

    ReplyDelete
  29. have the same prob with the sms when shifting from nok to SE...but now, i have prob doing Nok after using SE.

    Good site for free java games?

    here: http://www.myk750.lasyk.net/K750i/Games/

    applicable for more advance model like yours too, since it could be used for my 750.

    by the way, you could adjust the EV on the camera...:)

    FA: Tenkiu! You're like, awesome!

  32. Wow, that's the most thorough review of a phone I've ever seen! What do you do when you get a car?

  34. Just got an SE k750 recently. Switched from nokia as well. Hate the whole SMS thing, but getting used to it. With loads of practice you might get used to it. And T9 is still gay.

    ReplyDelete
  35. spastic calling sum1 retard... hahah ok ok... your block your bitch... still low tech girl...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Whoa! When I switched from Nokia to SE, the SMS really threw me off-whack. But still, for that price, it was the cheapest Bluetooth phone. I could have bought two of thm for the price of the Nokia I aimed for.

    Still, SE models are coming up nice and also Motorola. Maybe I shall get a walkman phone next year.

  37. F.A., I also read your review of the Audi Whatever, and you and Suanie seem to share a fascination for the trunk...er, boot. Women!

  42. Dear dudette,

    You'll get use to it in a shortwhile and you'll love it. Before that, beware of deleting your 'A' listed contacts though.I was traggic...

    Back to your question, yes, we drank together before. And when will be our next session? Do you like blue colour drinks? It sucks...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Dear dudette,

    Where is my post? Gosh! You must have eaten them... Nvm, today is the Mooncake festival, god granted me a chance to resurrect my post. Here I am.

  46. I was asking the same question about the freaking buttons on Sony Ericson. They should just use the 'C' button instead of the 'go back' and what crap buttons.

    Maybe Nokia was smart to come out with it first and Sony can't curi the so 'damn simple' button idea!

    ReplyDelete
  47. i hope you're able to build a house of nokia since you have already maligned it as a brick ! !

    it was a high point during it's prime years . . .

    but nonetheless it has become redundant in this new bright and technological futuristic era...

    ReplyDelete
  48. First of all, why the heck do you buy that phone and start bitching about how it sucks on your blog. And second of all, why bother camwhoring? You're bloody ugly. Look at that chicken skin hanging off you cheekbones. Pathetic...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Dumb ass... I wonder why your readers actually bother reading you complain post to post. Waste of time. U suck balls. Get a life...

    ReplyDelete
  50. OMG!!!! agreed, agreed, agreed!!!!
    I don't use T9 either, well, mainly cause I don't know how... but the point is... SE's sms function SUCKS!!!!! and you know those symbol thingys like : ; " ' , . and stuff, on nokia you just press * and the whole list comes out, on the stupid SE you have to press more and then add symbols and then the list comes out! and the apostrophe mark on the 1 button takes 6 presses instead of 3 on nokia, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we generally use apostrophes more than dashes which replaces the 3 presses on the SE..... yeah, I just moved from a nokia to a SE too... and the games on my phone suck as well! they gave me vijay singh golf, at least if it were tiger woods I'd still have something nice to look at, but no, it's vijay, no offence, but he's a little too heavy for my liking.... everthing else about the stupid phone is super chunted but the sms function!!!!!!!!! argh...... screw up... feel so betrayed..... :(

    p.s: you know what... I made the switch from nokia to SE because my nokia got stolen too.... -_-"
