New Toy & Freebies

I am now a proud owner of the Nokia 7610 since 14th Feb, the phone which had caught my eyes when it first appeared in the advertisments. I had been thinking about the type of mobile phone I should buy as I have given my 3210 to my mum back in S'pore. The 6260 was a close contender but I decided the clam-phone is just too big for me. D and I went to shop for the phone in the evening on V-day, a few hours after we landed inHK. Well, it isn't my V-day pressie... D and I do not celebrate it since we believe that it is over-rated and commercialised, moreover everyday should in fact be a V-day. Anyway, I really needed a phone and although pay day will only be at the end of Feb, D was nice enough to loan me the money. The shopping was great fun, especially since we were given lots of freebies. The phone is about S$40 cheaper here in HK and warranty is local (we had checked out the phone in S'pore, thinking I should just get it in S'pore but decided against it when I was informed that the Nokia warranty isn't worldwide). The funny thing was that everytime the salesman came back to us, he would put down another freebie on the table for me. D was totally taken aback by this, we never had so much fun shopping. Here's a list of our freebies, not original Nokia products: (The basic Nokia set includes a travel charger, USB Data Cable, Nokia PC-Suite, earpiece, a phone pouch, 64mb RS-MMC and of course, the phone) 1. A desktop charger 2. Additional battery 3. Additional Earpiece 4. 128 RS-MMC 5. Bluetooth Earpiece 6. A SD/MMC/RS-MMC USB Card Reader 7. PVC Phone Pouch 8. Anime Phone Stand and Wrist Strap See Pic below - taken by my 7610. D is now comtemplating purchasing his Canon 20D from HK instead, with the hope that he will get the freebies too.
