Me & My Motorola W270

Today is 29 July 2008 (Tues).
This afternoon, I went to Toa Payoh Central to buy my Motorola W270. Actually a couple of days ago, I have already asked the salesperson @ Planet Telecom (Toa Payoh) to help me reserved a set.

The phone was retailed @ S$118 but was sold to me @ S$98 given that I have the National Day Parade (NDP)’08 Motorola’s voucher.

Actually, this Motorola W270 is a very basic mobile handset. There is no camera, no wifi, no 3G, small LCD screen etc. However, I have chosen this phone because it does not have camera BUT it does come with a Mp3 player, FM radio, speakerphone function and an expandable memory card slot (up to 2GB). Most importantly, it is a sleek flip phone.

In fact, I am using this handset as my secondary phone mainly for my online business (via eBay Singapore). I have already intended to get a new prepaid SIM card (most probably from Starhub) for this phone. It will be easier for me to communicate with my buyers with a separate new mobile no. (to be used only for my online business purposes) ‘cos I always feel insecure for giving out my personal mobile no. to my buyers. Hehe…Scared of misuses e.g. prank calls etc. 

Besides, I can also use my W270 for my annual in-camp training since it meets all the MINDEF requirements for mobile phones (to be used in army camps).
