Romancing Nokia

I have always been a Nokia lover. My first phone, way back in 2000, was a Nokia 5110. Remember the bulky black phone with antenna that resembled that of a wireless PLDT telephone? Yes, that was my first phone. And way back then, it was considered a luxury. Imagine buying 5110 for P12,000? Today, I don't think anyone would be interested to buy the said unit even for less than P500.

After two years, I decided to change my phone and bought a Nokia 3310 for P16,000. During those years, people were not scared to flaunt their mobile phones even inside a crowded PUJ or while walking in Colon Street because snatchers didn't know they can make money stealing mobile phones. I have never lost a cellphone to a thief though.
