I found myself yet again browsing the Tipidpc.com website after visiting podcentral.ph and finding out that a brand new 30gb IPod video now costs only 13k. And of course, being the non-conformist buyer that I am, most likely I WOULD settle for something a little used but cheaper, so I looked for the slightly-used ones and found them at around 10K.
See, this is what I have debating with myself a few days after I started work. It CAN be a tempting issue to buy a new pod and maybe sell Danielle (my 3rd gen 15 gb IPod) for a much lower price (since I got it at 6k, I’m thinking maybe 5 or 4K) as, after all, Danielle has been loved and used, and as much as I give testimonies of our really great times together (you know those slow sex songs where an IPod can be really REALLY handy at if you have a nice speaker and it can arouse a great mood and all with the lights all dim and the candles burning, bopping to Dido’s Thank You and some other making-love songs?), it’s not gonna hinder the fact that, as much as Danielle is beautiful, she is still a 3rd gen pod, and therefore people would see she has extra buttons where, as far as the regular 4th gen IPods are concerned, they don’t exist. And she doesn’t play videos either, so that can be hard if let’s say my phone memory’s limited and I can’t stock further porn.
Believe me we’ve had these open forum debates where Danielle and I would argue that, you know, you haven’t been paying much attention to me lately and that hurts me a lot sort of stuff, but we’ve come to this conclusion that IF I want to play some videos, I’ll just be buying Descartes (my phone) a higher mmc of maybe 2gb and stock all the for-the-bored-videos (you know, when you’re waiting for your turn to make tuwad in front of the nurse at a pre-employment medical or something) I want, except we haven’t really proven the capacity of a 2gb to run smoothly with a Nokia 6260. So I might find myself buying a new mmc that I might not get to use. BUT, at least I get to save my money for the stuff that I REALLY want for NOW, which is a Canon S3 IS. The thing is still at about 18K, so that’s still around 2 or 3 months worth of pay. Unfortunately, no easy to trick girlfriends or boyfriends around to push them into buying me one now.
Financial matters to be considered, of course, everything would point out to me buying an mmc instead. BUT:
+ a higher mmc capacity does not necessarily mean you can use it all up. After all, a phone can only handle so much.
+ they don’t play in stereo. Mono doesn’t play loud.
+ I’m gonna have to check if an original headset would really mean better sound quality as Aris has pointed out over one of our Suth class discussions (class being occuring in class, not necessarily the involvement of everyone).
Although of course, that would also mean less bulk for me. I can bring a phone and let it do wonders for me and just be contented, and DIVX codecs are installed anyway so no problem with videos here. But, like I said, it doesn’t play loud. So I might confuse Spiderman 3 with the jeepneys roaring.
I’m also thinking of buying a new phone. BUT are there any thin symbian phoes in the market aside from E50? I guess chances are Descartes stays with me for a looooooong time then.
