Coffee @ Kalmane along with my Nokia N95!

I bought Second Nokia Phone in my life couple of weeks back. The first one has been several years back in the US which was really very cute! I donot remember anything(model, specs etc) of that phone. My first cell phone in Bangalore has been a decent Samsung model (i dont remember the model either) which was quiet expensive! Then i switched to LG reliance, for the only reason that i wanted (my Laptop) to be ONLINE 24X7, especially when i was travelling. This was some time in 2004 I guess!

Later, once i saw Motorola Phones, for reasons unknown, i fell in love and had the below models

• A760 - a LinuX Phone (use to SUCK)
• MPX200 - Win CE Phone (Lovely Phone - couple of my friends bought this bcoz of me!)
• E398 - Not a Smart Phone (Decent but Good, Lost during my last trip - probably a mexican house keeping maid stole!)
• V3i - the color looked pathetic (Dumb investment! It SUCKS! ONly difference from V3 is that it has additional storage, but some how it looks very bad to me!)
• Black RAZR - V3 - i just LOVE this! (For the Sleek & Sexy Looks!)
  

I kept on waiting for Moto Q for quiet some time (nearly 2 years since the time it was launched in US) but it never was anounced in India!

Lately i got fascinated abt capturing some moments of life through the lens, thats when i started looking seriously @ Camera Phones! When i say Camera Phones, i really mean quality Camera. Somehow i felt Motorola Phones donot have enough capability of camera functionality, thats when i started looking outside. I read good remarks on Nokia N93 and N93i. I went to the shop and asked the guy to show me N93i. The person after giving enough good info on N93i, showed me N95 and advised me to go for N95 and also added that N93i will be discontinued. I got confused and returned back. After looking at good reviews on N95, finally decided to go for it. Once i bought this, i am really in LOVE with this gadget, atleast till now!

This is ALL-IN-ONE gadget! Apart from Voice Call, SMS features the other features i seek in a device are

1. MP3 Player
2. Enough Storage (N95 has 1 GB)
3. Video Player
4. TV Out (Optional, but I always wanted this).

In addition to the above, I had this requirement (lately) of Camera capability! N95 has pleased me exceptionally WELL with all the features!

Though i started to write this blog to show the pics taken through N95. I thought i would give a brief overview of my journey thru different Cell Phones. One of my new friend, suggested me to try Picassa. Am equally amazed by the tool and the cool feature of automatically generating a Collage out of few snaps impressed me quiet a lot! The above image is a collage made in 5 seconds with the snaps taken using my N95!

BTW did I mention that N95 costs Rs. 32K? Well quiet a few of my friends thought i was MAD to buy this one, i defended saying that "being single and not having Luxury(?) of spending both Time / Money with the Spouse gives me FREEDOM to go for this". But am not yet quiet sure which one is better, may be I will update when i experience the other one!

BTW, there is this place called as KALMANE KOFFEE @ Jayanagar which is really very cool - this is just to make justice for the title of this POST! :)
