Sighs! It is official, my N80 finally died. Well, at least it cannot function properly for normal usage. All I see on my screen now is a white background with no interface, therefore making it totally useless. I think this is a common problem with slider phones as it has something to do with wear and tear issues. The phone is about 1 and half years old and I’m a heavy phone user. My backup phone which is an O2 Xphone II, wasn’t much help either. You see, the reason I bought the N80 was because the O2 couldn’t really function properly. A few of the keys on the keypad are jammed making it hard if not impossible to access key menus like creating text messages. I can still make and receive calls normally though but I can’t reply nor create text messages.
It was when looking for another phone from others to use when I just realized that I can’t do that because all my contacts are stored on my phone’s memory and not my SIM card. I bet you will be asking….why can’t I use the phone to copy the contacts to the SIM right?...Well, there are 2 reasons. First, I can’t access the copy menu due to the jammed keys. Second, even if I could, my SIM card can’t store all of my numbers (I have about 400+ contacts). Right now, I managed to copy a backed up address book from my laptop into the O2’s phone memory, so I still get to browse through my contacts. Only thing, I CAN’T DO TEXT MESSAGES!!...can you see my frustration here??!!!!@%#&@!!!
Time to get a new phone? Maybe not...again, due to financial constraints and limitations, I think its better bet for me to revive the N80. If you know me well enough, you would know I would never settle for a downgraded phone or any gadget for that matter even if it’s cheap. I will only upgrade but never downgrade…so yes...stubborn me. Sigh!…I really hope it’s not going to cost a bomb to repair it. But for now, I shall stick with my O2. So if for some reason I don’t reply your text messages, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
