Mobiles I have Used (Part 2)

In continuation of earlier posts I made as below:
http://anup20161.blogspot.in/2017/02/mobiles-phone-i-have-used.html
I will like to proceed and go ahead of the first four mobiles I outlined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 5
Fifth Mobile I used was Nokia 6030

This was ordered from Ebay.
I had started online ordering at this Stage and had ordered Playstation 2, T-Series DVD Player and a few other items online.
This was okay phone but no camera. I used 2G network in this phone to some extent and images used to load kind of okay (not videos). For this phone the RAM does not matter.
I used it full time from April 2007 till March 2008.
Current Status:
This phone was kept with me for sometime. I stopped using it when I got Nokia N82 and later I recollect there was some display problem and later it probably ended up as scrap and not in my possession anymore.
Money Spent on Phone for Acquisition : INR 5000 approximately.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 6
Sixth Mobile I used was Nokia N82

This was an excellent phone.A very big display and videos used to load very fine.
The Camera in the phone was also excellent and was one of the best at that time which was 5 Mega Pixels.
I ordered it in March 2008 and I used it till December 2010 without any issues when I gave it to my wife. She used it from December 2010 till August 2011 when there was some display issue and I put new display in October 2011 and used it till August 2012 when I dropped it in a Mobile Recycling box at Koramangala. At the time of dropping there were some problem and mobile used to abruptly turn off. For this phone the RAM does not matter. It was working fine and never bothered for the RAM.
Current Status:
This phone was dropped at a Mobile recycling Point at Koramangala in August 2012. So ended as scrap.
Money Spent on Phone for Acquisition : INR 15000 approximately. And then to fit LCD in 2011 I spent INR 3000 and new battery INR 2000. So total is 20000 INR
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 7
Seventh mobile I bought was actually not a mobile but a Tablet, Tab to say for short.
The model was Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000

This one I bought after seeing the Screen size at the website http://www.gsmarena.com
I bought this for my use and gave the Nokia N82 to my wife.
Screen size was huge and that is 7 inches.
This one I bought from a supplier using my Corporate privileges. I was working with Wipro and there was a reseller in their Intranet and I bought it from him. Initially the price was INR 36000 but during the course of purchase the price dropped to INR 30000 and the benefit was passed to me. It could not have been passed to me in case I had bought from a shop outside.
This mobile only drawback is RAM which is of 512 MB which makes it slow.
And videos loading were huge in size. And there was no FM radio in this phone so that enabled that I could use TuneinRadio, Sky.FM radio (now radio tunes) and Saavn Music for the first time.
This I have used full time from December 2010 till date. Sometimes it is in cold storage but it is still usable and now I am using to listen to Music or watch Netflix. Amazon Prime Video is not downloading as this is old device. Also we can watch Netflix through Streaming but cannot download the videos.
Current Status:
Still working and in possession and in use.
Money Spent on Phone for Acquisition : INR 30000 approximately.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 8
Eighth mobile I used was Nokia 1616

This was a very basic mobile and I bought it from a shop. Like I said I did not have FM radio in Galaxy Tab so I went ahead and bought this phone for FM radio only. This cost less than INR 1500. For this phone the RAM does not matter. I was using two phones concurrently this and galaxy Tab for about 6 months. This was bought in January 2011 and is being used intermittently from time to time.
Current Status :
Mobile is still in possession and in use.
Money Spent on Phone for Acquisition : INR 1500 approximately.
Final blog post will follow soon.

Hunterr, John Wick, Man on a Ledge, Yaara Silly Silly

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunterr
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV Miniplex HD CHannel after recording on Pen drive.
Movie is okay for a one time watch. I feel the movie is ahead of its time. And movies with big banner and stars skirt the real issues and what they really want is to be like movies like Hunterr. Unfortunately box office does not give its due to these type of movies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
John Wick
This movie was watched on Netflix. Yes people Netflix made me an offer I could not refuse and that was 1 month free usage just like new users. So now till March 28 I can use Netflix without paying any money. This movie John Wick is a highly polished movie. Movie has got class else there would not have been a sequel. I liked the movie. I watched it after downloading it to my mobile.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
Man on a Ledge
This movie was again watched on Netflix. Once more I downloaded and watched it. Movie is definitely okay for a one time watch. Though some impossible scenes are shown in the movie. One can still watch the movie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yaara Silly Silly
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV Miniplex HD CHannel after recording on Pen drive. It is definitely okay for a one time watch but the fact is there is no happy ending in the movie like the hero and heroines don't meet in the end and lead their separate lives and the movie also acknowledges it. But we don't know what happens later. I mean this is the age of Facebook and Twitter and identities cannot be hidden forever or could it be?

Mobiles Phone I have used

My age is now 39 years and will complete 40 years this year.
In my entire life I have used only 14 mobiles.
Yesterday I got my new mobile Intex Cloud Tread and then decided to update this further.
I felt I should update this in a blog post and so this post.
First I saw a mobile being used in 1997 (age 20) in Cinema theater at Hyderabad.
I saw Hutch (Orange) billboards in Mumbai in 2000 year.
But I came to have a mobile in 2002 when talk time was too expensive (like 20 rupees per minute).
Large scale mobile use was seen only when I reached Chennai in 2002. Like I saw mobile ads in billboards. And the ever pervading influence became evident.
Now is the age of touch screen and smartphones.
I must say I never have used Pager and never seen large scale pager use in my life. But pager is technology where a person would be paged and he would call back perhaps using a landline that was before advent of mobiles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile No. 1
First mobile used was Nokia 3310. This the iconic mobile which they are planning to reintroduce.

I have used this from January 2002 till March 2002.
This was given by my father and I remember in one talk I consumed all the talktime and I have never recharged it. That was in 2002.
Then again used the same phone from June 2004 till April 2005.
When I came to Bengaluru in 2004 I took a GSM number (which I am still using today) and I inserted that SIM into this phone.
Current Status:
This phone was handed back to my father (April 2005) and it probably ended up as scrap and not in my possession anymore
Money Spent on the phone for Acquisition : NIL ( As was provided by my father)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 2
Second Mobile I used was Nokia 2280.

This I used from  January 2004 till June 2004.
This was a Reliance CDMA phone which my father gave to me. The phone came with the connection.
Current Status:
This phone was handed back to my father (June 2004) who gave it to my sister and water got inside it and it probably ended up as scrap and not in my possession anymore.
Money Spent on the phone for Acquisition : NIL ( As was provided by my father)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 Mobile 3
Third mobile I have used was Sony Ericsson T230.

This mobile I ordered through Sify Shopping from Chennai.
I sent Cheque and they sent the phone.
Phone was very cute one. But no FM radio or Camera.
I used it from April 2005 till May 2007.
Current Status:
This phone was handed to my father (May 2007) and it probably ended up as scrap and not in my possession anymore.
Money Spent on the phone for Acquisition : Rs 6000 approximately.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 4
Fourth mobile was LG RD 6230

This phone also came along with Reliance CDMA connection.
I came to know that GSM Sim can be put in any phone. But CDMA phones were different and could only be activated or deactivated by the mobile company.
This phone had a camera and I clicked many pictures with it.
I handed it back to my father when he needed it back.
I was using it parallely with my GSM phone from August 2006 till January 2007
Current Status:
This phone was handed to my father (January 2007) and he used it for time but ultimately it probably ended up as scrap and not in my possession anymore.
Money Spent on the phone for Acquisition : NIL ( As was provided by my father). But for Activation I had to Pay money at Reliance World.
I will continue in another post.

Rock On 2, Terminator Genisys, Rangoon

Watched three movies as mentioned in the Subject line.
--------------------------------------------------------
Rock On 2
Had watched this movie way back in November but forgot to post about it. Movie was a casualty of demonetisation. It is okay for a one time watch I guess.
--------------------------------------------------------
Terminator Genisys
This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
Like I had said Amazon Prime video is really nice as it is cheap and allows download so that you can watch at your liesure. Netflix has a bigger library or does it? I found more regional content in Amazon. And if subtitles are available for all titles than nothing like it.
As far the movie goes. John Connor has become the villian now. So it is like life has come full circle. Like the person who would save the human race against Skynet is now Skynet's best hope to rescue it.
--------------------------------------------------------
Rangoon
This movie was watched on big screen today. Actually I booked the ticket at one place Cinepolis mall in Banswadi but by mistake I reached Cinepolis ETA mall. No way I could have travelled from ETA Mall to Banswadi while the show was about to start so I bought new tickets and watched it.
Movie is okay for a one time watch. This movie is about "Desh bhakti" but what I feel the greatest gift of British Rule has been the gift of English language to India. As long as we are using English language to the max we continue to remains under the grip of history of British Rule.

Ishk Actually, Chal Guru Ho Ja Shuru, Jolly LLB 2, Maazi

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line:
--------------------------------------------------------
Ishk Actually
This movie was watched on Airtel Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive this month. Movie is too slow but still can be watched once without any problem.
--------------------------------------------------------
Chal Guru Ho Ja Shuru
This movie was watched on Airtel Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive this month. Movie is very good and worth watching. The movie is about Gurus or two unemployed persons turning into Guru as a business and having full enjoyment of the gullible public.
--------------------------------------------------------
Jolly LLB 2
This movie was watched on the big screen and it is worth watching. I will say it has elements of humour which may force people to take notice. If we had had a movie like "Shahid" which is serious then people would not have watched the message and message would not gone through. Ultimately the message has to reach the people and they should know what is right and wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------
Maazi
This movie was watched on Airtel Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive this month. Movie is very good and worth watching. The movie deals with a gangster family man who wants to be good but is drawn to his roots unwittingly.

Fever, Raees, Aamir

Watched three movies as below:
-------------------------------------------------------
Fever : This movie was watched on Airtel Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive this month. Movie is definitely okay for a one time watch. But why Gauhar Khan commits suicide by crashing her car to a truck is a mystery.
 -------------------------------------------------------
Raees : This movie was watched on the big screen. This movie is what every Muslim should hate. No wonder that this movie got banned in Pakistan. I feel movies like Jolly LLB 2 and Kaabil has shown Muslims in a better light than Raees.
I have always felt the Khan brigade (Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan) are very cunning and know how to keep both Hindu and Muslim fans under their feet so as to speak. They know how to deal with people from diverse backgrounds.
I will say this is a waste for a movie. If we compare recent movies perhaps Dangal was the best among the lot. That is what I felt.
-------------------------------------------------------
Aamir : This movie was watched on Airtel Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive this month. Movie is definitely okay for a one time watch. This is also an anti-Muslim movie. There are few movies which show Muslims in a good light and that is sad I will say.

8 Movies Watched

Hi All people, So many months more than 2 months have passed and I did not post any latest movies watched. The thing is I was busy travelling and had gone to my native place where my Grandfather passed away. May his soul rest in peace.
But in the meantime I have watched some movies and those are as below:
-----------------------------
Raman Raghav 2.0 : This one was watched in December on Netflix. This movie is about a crazed serial killer and a drug addict cop who turns serial killer towards the end. Movie is okay for a one time watch.
-----------------------------
Footloose (2011) : This one was watched 2 days ago on HBO channel. This is a great movie. A Christian town takes all steps to ensure safety after some kids get killed in a car crash after party. Definitely enjoyable.
-----------------------------
Befikre : This one was watched on the big screen in a multiplex in December. This movie is okay for a one time watch.
-----------------------------
Kaabil : This one was watched on the big screen in a multiplex in January. This movie became a surprise hit. And I feel I know the reason why. The reason is that the world is in short of not only heroes but also villains. So the producer director manufacture villains out of thin air and then give space for the hero. Though it scenes which are not possible in real life, I feel all movies are like that. They show impossible things. So the best we can do is to leave our brain outside before watching a movie.
-----------------------------
Dangal : This one was watched on the big screen in a multiplex in February. This movie is a nice one. Perhaps for the first time Aamir Khan takes a back seat in the movie and has given space to other actors to assume charge and that is commendable.
-----------------------------
Wajah Tum Ho : This one was watched on Amazon Prime video. It is just like Netflix but significantly cheaper. While Netflix charges Rs 500 per month, Amazon is Rs 500 per year. That is practical because when we are spending thousands on tata Sky and Airtel it makes no sense to pay thousands to Netflix and/or Amazon. They should be cheaper to have some value.
The movie is excellent. The heroine is too beautiful and this movie is rated "A" so there are few erotic scenes (but no nudity which is left to imagination) which are well shot I would say when you consider it is an Indian movie. The story is also revenge based so the heroine triumphs in the end at the cost of the villains.
-----------------------------
Kahaani 2 : This one was watched on the big screen in a multiplex in December. This movie is okay for a one time watch. And also the villain gets killed in the end. That is a recurring theme in movies where the villain gets eliminated in the end and the hero and these days the heroine triumphs.
-----------------------------
Baar Baar Dekho : This one was watched on Amazon Prime video. This movie is very good. It shows time travel and alternate universe. But even for time travel and alternate universe fans it may be too much to digest. Also normal people would not get the plot and perhaps that is the reason for the movie not scoring well in the box office.
