So, after a while I had used a pretty low-featured Sony Ericsson phone (Hey, my previous phone burnt it’s circuits and by the time it “recovered”, I needed a new phone. It was too old :-P), I started looking for a newer phone. We got an awesome deal in which each would exchange his old Motorola phone (I could trade my old one in) and would pay nothing for a phone¹ if he talked for 100NIS a month and over. However, when I upgraded my phone, the Orange representative saw on the computer my dad’s old Motorola V3 was registered on my account. So, instead of that “if I talk in 100 NIS or over”, it became “if I take in 50 NIS or over”! Yes! 50 NIS! 20 NIS off the phone’s price!

So now, I have the excellent “Nokia E65″ with Symbian 9.1 which fits me pretty nicely. It has a graphics processor with the same power like in the original PlayStation, so, I can (theoretically) run PS1 games on it as well. It has pretty awesome multi-tasking features, and a desktop mode with up to 6 program shortcuts and includes statuses regarding tasks, missed calls, messages, etc.. In addition, it is one of the only 3 phones by Nokia available in Israel which have WiFi. So, I have WiFi on my phone too! YIPEEE!! I also installed the adapted-to-Nokia-N95 game called “Snakes”, which has 42 levels set in PlayStation quality and superb sounds. (3D retro gaming! ) The only thing I don’t like about it, is the fact it takes a while to load programs sometimes, and it takes a while to load the menu every time. But, it’s a sweet phone I got for free. (50 NIS monthly = 30 NIS complete warranty which includes replacement phone + 20 NIS UMTS internet basic package (100MB in Obox Live and 100MB in all other sites) )

The result? Smiley + Nokia E65 = <3. 

1. If its cost is not above 70 NIS per month [↩]
