Finally in Note.

Dear Old,

It was good while it lasted, but you screwed up big time. I can't hear. You are so slow and you crash on me when I needed you the most. It became toxic these past few months and I was just trying to hang on because in the end I still needed you, even if using you was a pain already. Since I'm not the type to mope around and to overly sacrifice for something that could not be changed, I will move on. I have to and I do it just like that.

It was good while it lasted, but I must say goodbye. You introduced me to Android and to the wonderful life of smart phones. I will forever be grateful. But times are changing and I need to do this for me. 

Good bye HTC. You opened up my Android preferences for me. You came at the right time and place. But now we must officially part.

I promised myself that if I'm going to get a new phone, I won't really delve too much in specs anymore. Specs. What the hell is specs to me even? Most of the smart phones now from Cherry Mobile to Apple are savvy for average consumers. Most are already operating in Android and these days, it's not the hardware anymore. A decade ago, it was all about hardware!. But mobile technology pushed everything to cyberspace like a fruit that we can pick from any strong and able tree. 

So in terms of power, resolution and the phone features, things that I am really not obsessed about, I can deal with any new smart phone around. But I also promised to myself that if I'm getting a new one, it has to be the right size and brand. 

Samsung is a power house these days. I've read good reviews of the brand from friends and colleagues. It's also the brand that gives Apple some sweat. They are so innovative, consumer friendly and creative that it's hard not to notice. Plus, they're the only one that came up with this Note version, a sort of tablet phone. Size is my main consideration. You can't find anything bigger than this that promises great Samsung features, durability and quality. Just for the size, I am sold. Not all people understand my fixation with the size, but with my migraines and poor eyesight, big is good. 

So I'm in the phase of tinkering this baby. There's so much to do and learn. I'm loving it day by day. 

New Year and New Phone. Got to love it.
