Joining the bandwagon of smartphone nerds.

Late 1 night, hubs came home and threw a box over to me and said "A gift for you".

Immediately, of course, I was skeptical. Where got so good one? I know him too well, shall I put it that way?

If other hubs came home with a gift for the wife, sure people would say, sure he just "curi makan" outside la, feel guilty wudd... But knowing my hubs, this possibility, well, not impossible, but shall I say, low. Coz, really, he so kiamsiap, he won't pay to "curi makan". Free makan, who wants to offer la? Not like he so hansem or rich....

Anyway, I digress.

So, I took a look at the white box and saw that it was a Samsung galaxy S phone. Asked him where he got it from, he told me it's free!

Die! Free only means it's more expensive than the original! Scary!

I pestered him with a very worried look that says, die die also you must tell me...

He didn't want an S to replace his iPhone, he wants the S3. But he said he could give me his iPhone if I wanted that instead of this new phone. What do you think I'd say?

And, hence, finally, I get hooked to a smartphone like all those phone nerds do, every second of their time looking at the little screen and twiddling it around with the fingers. Before this, I always treat my phone as a tool for me to make calls or sms, sometimes facebooking or surfing the internet when I feel REALLY really bored. I don't see why people ought be a slave to their phones. But now I see. It's really all very interesting and brand new to me, but I had to tell myself to stop being addicted to it, like how I complained to hubs that he is one. Now, he's delighted that he can use back MY complaint on me! Hmmph!

The first thing I did was to transfer all my contact details over and before he could figure out for me how to do that, it was hours past after I did already! Not a big deal to learn the workings of a new phone. Maybe it's too user friendly also la. I love the way how it can connect the profiles of my contacts from gmail or facebook to the phone contacts and everything falls into 1 place by itself. Then I MUST group the contacts, which came to a huge number, like 800 something, to different categories. This would take some time indeed.

For him, he never does this kind of thing. He never does housekeeping for his phone and everything, his files, contacts, apps are all in a mess. Even korkor says he doesn't want to take over his dad iPhone when he does get his S3. For whoever takes over the phone, he/she is not allowed to delete his "stuffs" in it too. Where got people sooooo messy like that one? Oh yes, that's my hubs for you!

The other feature I like about is its' display of pictures from the gallery and I don't know how it does it, it somehow could pick up my very old blog's pictures and make a slideshow from the phone itself like a normal photoframe. It's so cool. And when I saw the glimpses of the kids' faces when they were like really really young, my heart just melted. Ooh... I so miss their toddlerhood!

I love the colors, the apps, the "smart" features and everything about it. But I'm still getting used to its new ring tones and notification tones. Maybe I shall turn off the notification tones coz it's too annoying that once it chirps, I have the urge to run straight to my phone and see who sent what. Yikes!!!! I need to get my life back soon!
