Well, I haven't updated this one in ages. So here's the latest.
Seeing the monsoons round the corner, Dad finally decided to end the punishment and humiliation of having a broken screen. So he decided to fund a new chasse for my poor defeated 6610i, to 'prevent the rainwater from getting in'. Whatever.
But, yes... look at Nokia's great customer service... "That'll be 500 bucks sir" went the lady. Dad: "I'd like to have a bill..." "Oh we're sorry we can't issue a bill for this. It's not company maal na" and then suddenly realising she's said too much, she acts like she's very busy with arranging the stuff on her desk. In a small voice: "You see, we've stopped manufacturing this model and its parts, but this is a good piece...". That was enough. We walked out of the proud Nokia Care outlet at Matunga station. Bought a nice robust body without keypad at Thane station for just 60 bucks. So that's the story of how Nokia tries to cheat customers. Sheesh. Waiting for when I'll get to switch to Sony Ericsson when funds are coming in for me!! Still not sure whether I'd want to get rid of ye olde faithful 6610i... sigh...
And now my cellphone looks as good as new. I'm proud of it and love it. Have taken to violently gaming on it yet again! Hehe. Am addicted baby!

and thanks for dropping the comment. i did it on google sketch up. its a free and simple program. just google "google sketch up" and download the free version. badda bing badda boom and you are in!
yea.all major companies have this penchant for swelling up ur bill amts. mebbe it hurts their ego if the bill displays an amt less than 500 bux :P
i had a 6610i 3 yrs ago.got it as a gift.lost it within a month:(.loved it then.but now with new models offering better features, i dun really miss the piece. miss the messages in it though. sigh

Hey thanks for going through my blog.
Actually I just changed the "comment" settings,that's it.
Nothing related to "html".

Nice post.
My dad also had a similar kind of an experience with "LG".
I will post it on my blog after exams :)
Keep writing.
@stand up
well, she was probably going to defend her having to sell me a counterfeit case at the cost of the original...
@ c r d
well, i don't think all those features can make up for robustness! the n series, i found, was particularly prone to viruses and keep getting hanged... but yes, i miss bluetooth!
@ where thoughts are word$

Hi ,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be wow.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘The Thumb Rules’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
