my phone: nokia 2630

On my last day of freedom, I got to know Mongkok's shops a little better. First, I needed to buy cell phone. Cheap and slim was my budget. I found Nokia's 2630 hold true at 9.9mm. With those being my only "needs" it made my selection easy. I kept seeing it for $818 ($106usd) and after a hour of searching found it for $599($78usd).

I was very timid at first in these electronic/cell phone shops, but I found it's best to be loud and commanding. These sales guys will pull out any phone you want, but at the same time they'll pull down a much nicer, more expensive, fully featured phone. I tried to be nice and listen to his, Charles Wong, schpeel but I finally had to say NO! Leave it man. I don't need that. I want this one!

So, that's what it takes, you gotta strong arm these dudes so they'll listen. I did my homework, I didnt need a touchscreen, 3G, swiss army of a cell phone. So, after that I bought a sim card for $48($6.23usd) at PCCW and BOOM, I'm connected with my own number. Pretty easy.

One hour and $647($84usd) later I have a phone.
