Downgrading

Not too long ago, I got a new phone (because my old one broke down). One of the things I looked for in a new phone was a better camera. And I got one with a 3.2-megapixel camera...which is by far better than my old one which could only take 640×480 (that would make 0.3 megapixels). Unfortunately...the photo quality is so bad that it seems even worse than my old phone. Is someone able to tell me why??! :(

This isn't the only gripe I have about my new phone. I also don't like the fact that I have to take out the battery to remove the memory card. That means that if I want to transfer files to/from my phone, I will have to switch off my phone. And when I switch it back on, I need to reset the time. :s

There's more...

Just a few days ago I wanted to delete old sms-es. I usually keep any non-spam messages on my phone for some time...and then I delete a whole bunch of them in one go. One thing I really liked about my old phone is that I could mark messages (or files for that matter) to choose which I wanted to delete (or move/copy). I could even mark all of them and deselect a few. But on this new phone, there is no "marking" function...

(I did find an "archive message" function, which means that I can archive whatever message that I don't want to delete and then delete all the rest in that folder.)

Another problem...still about sms-es...I can't save messages as draft! :s I used to save "notes" for myself as drafts...little reminders that I can refer to later. But now I can't... Well, the message is kept in the editor as long as I don't delete it...but what if I want to type another sms? Then I'll have to remove my "note"...

Isn't saving drafts an important feature? Did I just miss it somehow??

Oh, and the alarm clock doesn't go off if the phone is switched off. Which means I can't switch off the phone if I want to use the alarm...unlike my old phone, on which the alarm would go off even if the phone was switched off, and when you disable the alarm, they would ask you whether you wanted to switch on the phone.

I wanted to find a Nokia phone, same as my previous one...because I liked all these features and I thought, hey, new models can only be an improvement! I guess I was wrong...

I was already rather disappointed that I couldn't find a flip phone...I guess that has gone out of fashion. This new phone is a sliding one.

What do I like on my new phone? Something that is better than my old one?

Nothing that I can think of right now. :(

I'm tempted to repair my old phone...I bought a new one because I was told that repairing it would cost RM100, which didn't sound worth it. Maybe I should have repaired it instead.

Next time I change my phone, I shall consider other companies...

(For the record, my old phone was a Nokia 6085, and the new one is a Nokia 7230.)
