The Bad Rant

I would be actually afraid to steal someone’s soul with this device.

I really want to know how much this beast cost because I have been searching for a digital camera for more then a decade now. If it cost less then 1000$ I may actually get one… not sure why because I dont even know what it “can” and “can’t” do but with three lenses you can’t go wrong. Must be perfect to take pictures of high quality… not the blury stuff I usually end up with.

Hope I wont end up with my thumb in front of all three lenses too often.

So I bought a new cell phone yesterday. Was supposed to cost me 250$ but instead it almost cost me 400$ because I took the kit with the fake leather case and the 256 MB memory card… long story short I almost payed 50$ in taxes and im still wondering where the money go?

This phone had some serious review on the internet but I have to say, probably because i’m easily disapointed, that this phone is far from perfect.

My old mobile phone was perfect ( Beside the fact that it’s dead after 6 years of service ). No blinding screen, good battery that could last over 6 hours, easy access to the dial up buttons and decent size. It was a practical phone and I miss it already.

Of course, it would be odd to buy a cell phone like this today because the newer phones offer so much more… like games… music… ringtones… pictures and videos…

All the cell phone games suck. I had one free game with my cell phone and I was bored playing with that 3D feed the snake game exactly 60 seconds after I started playing it. So I purchased some other games… most of them dont even have music while you play. Why can’t they do games like Bible fight, Grow RPG, Winterbells or Python?

( Sure, they can’t do games exactly like those but they can make good games instead of those abomination. )

My cell phone provider, Telus, is great when it comes to making calls… but their online web browsing is “Fucking dog shit” ( Pardon my James Rolfeness ). I tried to purchase a song to test the device and I can’t even find the songs I love when I enter the name of the song in the search engine. All they have is a list of preselected songs that I never heard of or dont want to listen to.

Ringtones are annoying. Need I say more?

Pictures and videos are great, probably the only real reason why I went for a mobile phone like this instead of some older model. You can easily take pictures and make videos with these new handheld… but you need proper lightning or else your pictures and videos wont even be viewable… and even with a good light source everything just look grainy. If you buy a cell phone thinking that it will replace all your cameras and fulfill all your visual needs… yeah, you’re wrong.

Actually I do like this phone… because I can impress everyone around me with some trivial stuff.

By the way, it’s raining in shanghai.

Edit: Not even 1 year after I purchased this cell phone and it’s the second time it breaks. I try to turn it on but the loading screen just never load… No, I never dropped it, never mistreated it and I ever tried loving it ( Downloaded the cell phone game “Frogger Evolution” and had a blast going through all the 8 levels ) but this is the last draw for me.
