Nokia 5800 review

20 comments - Post a comment

January 10 2008, Nokia’s 5800 Xpress Music is launched here in the Philippines. It is said to be an iPhone killer, one of the first touch screen phones from Nokia.

I bought one… as a reward for myself (since iPhone 3G or Xperia is too expensive for me). Ok yeah… It is an impulse buying…hahahah! And here is my informal review:

 Ok, I’ve been busy… yeah yeah lazy that I only make this post today instead of earlier (nearer to new year). Wee, its still January!

 2008 was a blast for me. A very good year indeed.

 Here are some of the thing that made 2008 very good: 

  • I’m still alive! Aliiivvvee and posting.
  • I got my promotion! Yes!
  • I learned a lot, lets just say thats too many to mention
  • I still have a job despite of the crisis… oh thank God!
  • I got some freelance job (freelance==money!!!)
  • I learn nihongo/Japanese (somehow…a little bit)
  • Its another year in this relationship… yeehee!
  •  and many more thing for me to be thankful for…

It was also a busy year for me… so I decided to reward myself (who cares about the freaking crisis!) hehehehe.

 

For this year… a little change wont hurt. Hehehehe! Higher pay? New life? More freelance? New work? Bring it on!!!

 

Im quite surprised when I open my email this morning, the first time that I opened it this year. There are few emails from unknown (not in my contact) source. I thought that Gmail’s spam protection is starting to lag behind those spammer geeks.

 

Well, the email come from prospective clients… to my surprise! How the hell did they know me? Oh…. yeah…. I have my site and my blog, both saying that I am a web developer. I know that my design don’t impress them, i haven’t even made a post to my blog for some time… and I have not portfolio to show them…then why? Why me?! Hahahaha! I must really start building other sites today so I can have a full blown portfolio.

 

Well, I might be taking some of the freelance jobs, yeah some. I might be busy doing projects for the company…but I might also be busy looking for another job ;) But I’m not quiting my job until I found a better one, I won’t be a full time freelancer.

 

 Just keep them coming! More jobs, more cash!

 

 This is your friendly neighborhood web developer and this is the way to jumpstart 09…taking freelance jobs!
