Some old handphones.
Okay, how is it going? Fine here, readers.
And finally, after saving some money from college, I bought this one and still using it until now. Taraa it is Redmi 1s from Xiaomi. Bought it from Lazada (Online shop) at 9-10-2014 and finally got it in my hand at 14-10-2014. Holy shit, it was already a year, happy birthday redmi lololol
Today I'm gonna tell you my little history about my handphones. It was not a big deal actually, and I don't know myself why suddenly I bring this topic here. Just... random things, you know.
You guys know what a handphone is? Ah okay, nowadays they called it smartphone. Hm maybe I am a bit too old for this.
So my first handphone was this one. I don't really remember it actually, and I hope it's not wrong. It was a Sony Ericsson handphone. Looks like it's name was started with T or something. I have bad long-term memory, fellas.

| My 1st handphone. Have a bit trouble googling this one |
Got this around... elementary or junior high school? Yeah looks like around that period. My sister's boyfriend gave it to me, because he bought a new one. I just remembered at that era, there was a new hype about handphone with camera. They were so expensive, and if I am not mistaken the highest resolution was still VGA. Anyway back to the story, I got my first number too (it was IM3, and I don't remember the number, sorry). I rarely used the handphone for calling, it was just for sending text messages to someone (don't ask who it was) and for playing games.

| K302i. Mine was brown actually |
After some period, not so long time, I got my 2nd phone. It's still Sony Ericsson, but this time it was K302i. I remembered I begged my father to buy it if I got a high score on my study, so he bought it finally.
It was my first phone that had camera too, and of course it could play songs like MP3.
Yeah it was amazing at that time you know. I loved it so much because I could listen to music from it. Got that around junior high school, don't remember what exact year it was. I remembered I dropped it from the couch, making the case a little off, and it was just around a week since I bought it! It was terrifying lol.

| Uyeah, Express Music dude! |
And the next one I moved into Nokia. It was 5130 express music. If I am not mistaken it was around 1.2-1.5 million rupiahs at that time. Not really expensive though, but if you see it today... it was surprising.
Got this around high school. Bought this because my K302i couldn't store many songs, because it didn't have memory card inside it, and could only contain around 2-3 songs! Duh!
So I really loved this phone. It was the best music phone I ever had (looks like it was). The sound quality was pretty good if you use earphone. The camera was not pretty good either, but it was more than enough for me back there. I started browsing internet around this time too, using Opera Mini in my phone.
I remembered I got that when the era of touch screen phones arrived. Looks like the nokia 5800 was the highest quality handphones at that time.

| The not-so-famous-phone |
So... After around a year using it, finally it was a bit broken. It lagged more and more, so I decided to sold it and bought this one. It was Samsung Wave 5253. I don't really remember it, but looks like it was around 2010 or 2011.
My first handphone with touch screen, yay. Actually nothing really special about this phone, just a big screen with touch screen. Since I was bored with nokia phones, I wanted to try Samsung one. It was a well-well handphone actually, and it was not android yet (yes, the android development maybe was still around... in Eclair? Or maybe already entering Froyo), and the android phones was not as hype as now. So I decided to buy this. It was actually a smartphone, because it had a Samsung OS called Bada.

| Behold, Redmi 1S. |
It was the first android smartphone I ever had... And the first one I bought it with my own money. I was so happy until now using this phone, and don't know what will be in the future.
So that's for now, I'll see you later.
