After whining for many months I FINALLY went out & got me a new phone.
Decided on the Nokia 6680 since I’ve been told it’s one of the best phone’s in the market - it has Two integrated cameras: 1.3 megapixel and VGA with a Two-way video call capability for face-to-face communication among many many other features. More here.
Had lunch at Cafe Churchill. Had a Pollo Valdostana (used to order this at Shatranj Napoli once upon a time when that was my favorite restaurant). The place serves Continental & Fast food (Goulash, Stews, Pasta) It’s a small place with about 6 tables, but the fact that they were jam-packed (a sign outside the door warned us that “You May Have to Wait”) is proof of how good the food is. Prices range between INR 120 - 175 . It also has Excellent deserts at very reasonable prices (about INR 60 for a slice of cake).
Since we were on Colaba Causeway (Churchill is about a 10 mins. walk from Regal Cinema) we decided to take a walk down the Causeway & peruse through the tons of junk jewellery, DVD rips & other stuff. Didn’t end up seeing anything we liked but was a nice walk anyway.
All in all, a good day. Thx you to you for the ride, the help with choosing the phone & generally. And I still maintain that point 2 was unfairly got.

Almost went in for a Motorolla flip, but ultimately was persuaded that this phone is just the coolest thing right now

Same here! This phone looks like quite a hottie and feature loaded but there is always this thing that says “Come on…lets be different from the Junta”
hehehe

This phone is really good. In general most of the nokia phones are good. After reading about
food…I am feeling like rats are playing soccer inside my tummy.

@Melody. Now it’s solved now isn’t it?
Am I good or better?
@LoThArIo, though bluetooth is a good option speed-wise it is much slower than using the USB cable.
It also means an extra purchase required, as the cable comes with the phone.
Have both and prefer the cable over bluetooth, though I prefer my MMC reader over both for transferring large files.

I’d have walked a little down the street to Theobrahma (hope i got the spelling right) for a chocolate treat after that.
