MOTOROLA L7 - A Worthy Possession

The idea of mobile phone was conceived in the minds of engineers a couple of decades ago. But it has been only a few years since technology  has developed sufficiently to make this concept feasible. Very soon common man identified the significance of this invention. The transition from nobody owning a mobile phone to every body owning a mobile phone took place at a rapid phase. Even I became a victim of this transition only for good.
It has been five years since I have bought my first phone; a Motorola L7. Without having much knowledge of a mobile phone or its features, I went to a mobile store. Within a couple of minutes in there, my eyes locked onto a model. I was impressed by its sleek looks. The shopkeeper handed over the phone to me. It felt like holding a solid piece of metal. Even though a bit heavy, it had a reasonably small form factor. Within no time, I became a mobile phone owner and this purchase cost me around 6K rupees. Since then it has been a part of my life and now it seems impossible to live without touching it for a single day.
It has an averaged sized colour display, a VGA camera, built-in music player, bluetooth, internet facility etc. It can also act as a internet modem when connected to a PC. It also supports microSD card upto 2Gb. Initially I tried with different service providers and finally fixed the deal with BSNL.
In the past five years of its life,it has been subjected to a variety of abuses. Almost everyday, it sits inside my jeans pocket along with a bunch of keys, key chains, coins etc. Thanks to the scratch proof body, it has not even a single scratch on its surface till date.
Even after five years of rough use, it has not shown any signs of exhaustion. In standby condition, its battery lasts for around 2 days. It provides a talk time of 5 to 6 hours. With a few calls and a couple of hours for playing music or browsing internet, I have to charge it for 1.5 to 2 hours daily.
With the technology developing exponentially, the cost of mobile phones reduced significantly and comes packed with more features. To keep up with the technology, I think its time for me to change the phone. Anyway it was a nice experience using this phone and was worth its cost.
