Of Form and Function

Practical, wholesome, usable, mobile.. These are some of the distinct words to describe my possessions. Form and function are of the same weight. Owning something also goes with reason.

My fourth mobile phone is a Siemens ME45--small & light, water and shock resistant, very durable, has a handsfree feature that I can use while driving, GPRS enabled so I can access clickthecity.com anytime I want to check on the current movie schedule. It's not for trade even with a Nokia camera-featured phone.

I listen Evanescence or some local artists' songs with a water-resistant Intel MP3 player that can accommodate a memory card for additional storage with changeable face plates.

My office watch is a Timex chronograph with a pearl dial. What's fascinating is that my watch has a 1/100 sec timer, something that a Technomarine that costs 500% more doesn't have.. It's form & function rolled into one.

My walking rubber shoes (can also be used in mountaineering) are not comfortable-looking, not so attractive. Made of gortex technology, it's waterproof!

Too much of the waterproof stuff--I might end up inviting burglars in my house..

may i convince you to get M65? hehehe... M65 is certified IP54. IP rating is a measurement against a commercial standard for mobile Ingress protection ( or in layman's term the measurement on to how much a mobile can RESIST ingress/penetration of splash water, dust and shock ). just like your beloved ME45 =) but M65 has VGA video and photo camera, 65 k color display. go get one! hehehe... =)
