The Journey. It’s Mine.

For almost 2 months now I have been working at home with just my Motorola RAZR V3x as a modem to access the internet. The connection I am getting at 2.5G isn’t perfect: it says 230.4 kbps but in reality I think it is even less than half of that.

But if that’s what I have right now for an internet connection that allows me to work at home, pinagtatiyagaan ko na. Looking back on what I had to go through in the past year just to get online…I will not trade this for a broadband in town. At least for now…he he!

Satellite broadband is still to die for though and I am still in search of that (more story on this later).

Let me first apologize to my Moto…it isn’t my first choice of a 3G phone. I’ve always been loyal to Nokia phones and the only reasons i opted for the moto are 1) it was the cheapest 3G phone I can get around here (in a couple of stores selling original cellphone units), more than a couple thousand pesos cheaper than the highly recommended Nokia 6233 and mostly because 2) it also comes in pumpkin orange color (which i eventually didn’t get because the store turned out to have only boring black in stock!).
So I underestimated it…but it delivered more than I needed it for and I am grateful.

Hopefully one day, broadband internet will grace our remote-but-not-getting-so-remote home location. That, and my ultimate Nokia phone: the Nokia E61i (The SmartPDA has a review).

Once I get my hands on broadband internet, i will have no need to upgrade on a cellphone for a long time.

Then maybe I can finally save up on a nice PC notebook!

[The list never seem to end, maybe I shouldn’t have started blogging at all! And I used to be too happy with my good old Nokia 3315. He he. ;-)]
