My change of appetite...

My N95 has always been part of my life which I hold it dear to my heart. Besides my netbook, I spend 24 hrs with my phone. I dont think I could ever live in the primitive lifestyle ever again, without a basic phone. My N95 was everything I need. A good cam, a big space for storing pictures and musics and most importantly, Nokia is the most user friendly phone I have ever used.

However, with all the near to perfect points, the only negative point I could find fault with it is its big and bulky body. Friends ever laughed that it looks like like a razor. I even downloaded the razor tone from one of my friends and mimic shaving my chin with the phone. However, I never regret getting my N95, until recently.
Without a mp3, I used to jog and squeezed my N95 into my pocket which, obviously protruded behind my butt. I shifted and place the phone in my front pocket but it restricted my movement. Eventually, I got a creative mp3 and no longer use my phone to play musics while I jog.
I also stopped taking pictures like how I used to with my phone. The 8G memory seems never been able to used up. Soon, my N95 does not seem to be able to satisfy me anymore.

So I started browsing through the list of new phone gadgets....HTC.....Nokia....LG Prada......then I set my eye on the HTC Diamond 2.
So I went to renew my contract and trade in my N95 and brought along a 50 bucks long expired voucher to the shop. The lady staff told me, after trading my N95, and paying an additional 100 bucks for early renewal of contract, I still have to pay 398 for the HTC diamond. I pondered and was pretty relunctant to spend so much on a phone. Then I showed her the 50 dollar voucher which she said it cannot be use since it has been expired, as explained by her manager. I was disappointed, and argued "But I exchanged and redeemed my points for this voucher, so you mean my points are redeemed for nothing? Is it stated in this voucher that if its been expired, we cannot use it for waiver?"
The lady staff read through the voucher and replied "although its not stated anywhere in the terms and condition, but the expiry date is dated clearly on the voucher." I knew I could not argue anymore and relented, but with the thought of going back home to write a long complain letter about their customer service for a 8 years loyal customer. My heart aches and was sad that I will soon lost 398 bucks from my account for a little black device call phone...........
The lady staff went to the back of the counter and came back shortly telling me that she has checked with the office, and has requested for a 200 renewal contract voucher for me and the 100 bucks early renewal contract could also be waived. That is to make up for that 50 bucks voucher which I could not use. So after all the arrangement, in the end, guess what? I only need to pay 98 bucks for the HTC Diamond 2~!
I tried very hard to contain my excitement and kept calm and cool and made my way to the cashier to pay the 98 bucks quickly in case they change their mind.
Although I miss my N95, but this sleek HTC Diamond 2 is keeping me interested that I eventually lost my fondness and attachment to my N95....
Byebye baby.....You have always been part of my life...

Besides the hype about the phone, this lesson also teaches all of us as consumers that .... Don't just pay the price listed! Even Telcom prices can be hackled!

I think you should write a complimentary letter for this super helpful service officer!

Luxelass - Yeah! Thats what I want to portray in this entry. Actually is all about mind game. Maybe she saw my face black black so she went back to check with the manager again... Am happy I met her!
