It all happened, when I accidentally dropped my phone in a steaming hot agar medium which I had just taken out from the microwave oven for my laboratory work. An agar medium is slimy and sticky, liquid while its hot, but gradually solidifies as it cools.
I gave the phone for repair to one of my brother’s friend’s shop, not very far from my house. He was kind enough to lend me an extra phone of his, a Nokia N83, and asked me to keep my phone overnight. But I missed my phone, a normal Nokia 6300, not even a hi-fi better quality phone could take its place. I got it back the next day, the LCD and something else was changed. But since then, it has’nt been the same. I had to take it back to the shop several times, even the salespersons would give a ‘I know why she’s here again – smile’ whenever I entered the shop :-).
One day it would show a black display, and on other days, the music player would just not work, and sometimes the alarm would go off an hour late. There was also a time when one could not hear my voice through the phone, it was a problem with the speaker system. These were all repaired.... until.. the PQRS keypad failed me!
So, first of all, here’s a good excuse to all my friends, complaining that I never reply their sms. *grin*
Try to think of making up a sentence without using these letters, can you? See, I’m telling you, it’s hard! But the creative me (coughs) have used sms slangs like ‘thnx’ for ‘thanks’, ‘GM’ for ‘Good Morning’, ‘Vodka' for 'Voksa' (lolzzz..JK!)etc plus, I found out that it’s much easier to modify Mizo sentences rather than English.
‘In atangin I chhuak tawh em?’ rather than ‘Have you StaRted fRom home?’
‘I hman tawh em?’ rather than ‘aRe you Ready?’
............
Argghh, I just can’t think of anymore examples right now, as it is, it is already a pain in the a** :-D
And most of the time, I find myself ‘almost’ losing patience trying to click that keypad just once, JUST ONCE so that my sentence would be complete. The other day, I tried to type ‘sports’, only OT came. Haha! “kan OT a” :-D
Now, I’ve given up trying. IF I cannot think of a sentence without pqrs at the first thought, then I’d rather call, than type.
Don’t tell me to buy a new phone, unless you're willing to buy me one ;-), I think I can still manage with my 2 years old Nokia 6300. And in case, if you plan to buy me one (hehe), I would like to have the same model *grin*..... which reminds me, my annoying but loving cousin brother Kima a.k.a illusion in the air still owes me a cute laptop mouse!

hehehe... "cousin brother" ? That is so Hinglish. :D A simple "cousin" will do. :P
Yeah yeah, will buy you your stupid mouse once you tell me which guy you're crazy about. One time, it is that guy. Other time it is this guy. After that, it is another guy. Once, it was even that girl. So you leave me confused, my dear cuz. So confused that it is difficult to buy you a mouse.
:D *min ngei ang chuuuu. woohoooo!*
And lolz at your keypad. See... it affects people like you who spend their whole day ck'ing over smses. For normal people like us, it doesn't make any difference. In fact we don't even notice that our keypad is broken. :P
Speaking of walking into shops with a Nokia phone, are you that infamous girl who walked into BSNL office and asked if its the right place to pay your Nokia phone bill? i nih duh hmel :D
Poor you!! I'm sure some one will buy you a new one. I used an old B&W Nokia till recently. I saved up real hard for an i-phone which i thought was a cool gadget. Bought it from a grey market, but it didnt work, so thats my savings down the drain. Now I have a music express which is a poor man's i phone, but am quite happy with it.
Of all the mobile phone I'd ever used, I'd say Nokia 1110 is the best. I once was a sony ericsson fan so to say.. every time they launch a new product, will always call home and ask for a bonus so that i can keep up with their models! Had use more than 5 of their mobile phones. when I lost my ericsson here in Mumbai, bought Nokia 1110i so that I can atleast receive a call, since that day , I fell in love with this model.LOL!
Last year when I went home, I was on the phone while driving Activa, and I hit something on the road, and my dearie fell on the road, and my Activa ran over it,there were bruises and cuts on the phone ( no blood spilled atleast) yet he manage to bear the pain.. so I'll be with this mobile until and unless she rest in peace LOL

@illusion and the hair: Just wanted to make sure that you're not gay
Will buy me... when???? You buy all sorts of gifts and chocolates for your girlfriends and boyfriend(Amos),but you never buy me anything :-(
CK does not exist in my dictionary! :P Thanks for proving to everyone how annoying you are *hugs* :-D
@dr_feelgood: Awwww.. that's sad, sorry 'bout the i-phone. You should have consulted me before buying from the grey market, I have friends who always manage to buy good stuffs from such markets. But you know, Music express ain't that bad either..
@mnowluck: oh yes.. I haven't come across any Nokia 1110 user complaining about it. It must be really good.
And didn't you know you shouldn't be on the phone while driving? And your poor darling has to suffer all because of you :-)

AHHH the forbidden love between a woman and her Phone
Here's the solution:
1. Heat water in a pot, stir for 2 minutes and add KMnO4 powder.
2. Using a dropper, drop about 2ml of the solution between the key pads
2. Wait for 10 mins and after that, remove the memory card
3. Plug it into a computer and from the command prompt, type "Format".. every problem you experience will be gone within a few minutes.
