My Cellphones

I have a collection of phones from year, 2009.

I have  the habit of donating cellphones to poor guys.
My first android phone was GreenTel.
It had a very good camera.

It works well even to this day.

My first tab was a Linux Suse, which I bought in Ceylon. That was the first tab that brokedown.

It stopped switching on its power.

I believed a Microsoft's bug did the damage.

Later I bought a Lenova tab in Singapore and it brokedown after a single update. 
Why it did bust I did not know.

Since then I boycotted Lenova.

I go to Singapore often when I want to do some shopping, including cellphones.

Running commentary.

I bought a cellphone for less than Rs.3000/= and  I updated it yesterday. It's RAM is limited but still works well on Google's Android.

The expensive cellphone I bought for my better half with sealed battery is defunct now.

I bought a few ZiGO phones.

One is still working and the other had a big defective line in its liquid crystal display.

I gave it away to a guy. He could not buy a replacement battery for it.

The second GreenTel I bought for less than Rs.6000/= was good.

I donated.it, too.

I decided to go for Nokia in 2015 and I have 5 Nokia cellphones working well with different Android versions up to 4G.

Now to the cellphone Servce Providers and the supply chain.

MobiTel is hopeless.

Dialog is equally worse and the broadband Internet I bought year ago is still inactive after paying the arrears of Rs.5000/=. I am going to take it to the retailer and thrash it on the floor to pieces, so the video of that incident is flashed on TV for public view.  That is after the New Year Break.

I switched to Hutch and they provide a good service but bit too, expensive.

I bought an AirTel SIM ages ago and finished it's data in one night updating my first Chinese Ameo Tablet.

The Ameo is still working with a damaged SIM slot. I updated it before damaging it's SIM slot. I play kids games on it.

So paying a lot for a cellphone where local communication suppliers have not upgraded their services, even to 4G is ridiculous.

They are still in LTE infrastructure.

So, buy a cheap phone with basics not an Apple for heaven's sake.

Even buying a Samsung is a is waste.

I will stick with basic Nokia but it's latest phones costs Rs.800,000/=.

However, buying a Smart TV with Internet connection and broadband is more prudent.

By the way, my TV is original SONY with three year warranty. 

All these are gathering dust in Ceylon.
