Let me set the context before I start my
seven day journey with Nokia 701.
I do not understand the intricacies of
hardware that goes inside these devises and don’t wish to find out either. I am
just a hopeless romantic who falls for smart devices because of the way they
look and the way they behave. I love them for what they enable me to do without
being too concerned with all that has gone into its making.
Then comes the not-so-sane part about my
relationship with devises. I unconsciously end up comparing great phones to
great women and poor phones with the kind of women I don’t like. In fact, I get
to spend more time with my devises when compared to the rationed time I get to
spend with my girl. No wonder I love my smart phone quite a lot.
With this being the backdrop, I received
the Nokia 701 with NFC J
By now you would have guessed that I
have huge expectations from any phone that I use. The same is true even with
Nokia 701 which I will torture-test over the next couple of days.
“Yes, she looks good,” is what the voice
from within said when I first held the Nokia 701 in my hand. However, me being
me felt that good looks are not enough and more had to be seen/ understood. The
phone I received has a silver-grey-steel exterior with a matt finish. Not too
loud like those wannabe celebrities, neither cold-grey as those women with a
dead-pan expression for every kind of emotion. Not too slim like those
super-models on a perpetual hunger-strike, neither bulky as those women seen on
posters outside B-grade theatres. The Nokia 701 seems to have just the right balance
of a great figure (with the curves) and the adorable skin tone.
So it did clear the first test for me
which was all about me wanting to use the phone.
Once I switched on the phone the bright
screen lit up with a bunch of icons. They danced to the tunes that my fingers played.
As I changed the tempo and broke the rhythm, it responded with ease. For a
moment I felt like performing a Salsa number with a partner who caught up with every
new step I took and balanced in perfect elegance.
I felt happy. Gone as those days when I
would be okay with someone whose doesn’t know how to move around gracefully. The
touch interface on the Nokia 701 felt like one of those graceful women.
I decided to insert my SIM card and try
out things further over the next couple of days. For now, I was happy with the
way the phone looked, the smooth touch interface and the bright display. My day
at work progressed and I continued to use the phone without facing any issue
(except the usual trouble of not having any of the contacts saved.)
