I do not own this model of Nokia,but have seen this being used by my friends, most of whom possess it as a status symbol. I often ask the owners of this model Nokiaand others owning similar models of Samsung, Sony Erriction, Motorola, and LGhaving fancy features like so many Mega Pixels of Camera, Video etc. In 99 per cent of cases one uses a Cell Phone for speaking with each other and for sending SMSs. Moreover, the pictures the Cell Phones with Cameras take are never sharp. This I can say as an advanced amateur Photographer. Therefore, I have a Sony 2 Mega Pixels Camera, and the shots taken by this little gadget is very sharp, even wnen enlarged on my PC about 100 times.
Some of my friends have the fancy models for sheer snob value associated with them, and to keep up with the Jones, as the saying goes.
The manufacturers of such fancy models, with very aggressive advertising, try their best, and achieve success too, in motivating customers to buy their models. Some service providers like AirTel have Brand Ambassadors, like Sachin Tendulkar, with a very broad smile.
I wish Good Luck to all of them. In case I win the MouthShut Competition and get a Nokia, I will be too happy to have it and use it along with my cute Samsung.
Do you think I sound hypocratic ?
