User Review: NOKIA ASHA 305

December 18, 2012
Cebu City, Philippines

Matching a phone and a person always start with user characteristics. Personally, I am a very rugged when it comes to items in general, this means the lifespan of things in my possession does not last very long. Knowing that through harsh experiences, I no longer buy items that are the top brands and make durability or long-lasting a high selling point.

I accidentally dropped my phone busting the LCD display. Thus, I needed a phone that would meets my current needs, fast.
1. On a Globe Postpaid Plan with Unlimited Calls & Text for Globe and Unlimited Internet Surfing.
2. Have an 8GB micro SD for media purposes
3. Medium-Heavy mobile internet user
4. Dual-sim
5. Bugdet conscious

I was contemplating on buying an Android Phone by local manufacturers like Cherry Mobile or from MyPhone. My budget was P 5,000. I did my research and look-up specifications and reviews.

However, in the local mall, I compulsive bought a NOKIA ASHA 305 for P 3,990. Relying heavily on the familiarity of brand, and price achieving my minimum requirements being a dual-sim smartphone.

So after a day of using it. I came up with this.

User Review of NOKIA ASHA 305

It is user-friendly, very easy to figure out, dual-sim advantage and the touchscreen function is satisfactory.

There is no 3G and wifi connectivity if you heavily use mobile internet, altough, the Globe Unli Surf Plan that I'm using works alright. YouTube not supported if on dual-sim, facebook is better on the browser than the app.

It doesn't have a flash and taking pictures may take a bit longer to process. Video capturing is also very dragging.

If only the camera functions are a little bit better, the retail price of P3,990, it could have been a great bargain.

On Prayer

Back in pre-school, I beheaded a ninja turtle while playing with it. Scared of the teacher's punishment, I broke her strict rule that all toys should be returned after playing but instead I smuggled it home and tried to fix it to no avail. In my final act of desperation I prayed so hard to God to fix it, but the next day I cried my heart out because it was still broken.

I felt that God abandoned me.

Still crying in school my teacher comforted me and gave me a new ninja turtle to play with for she saw that I had a headless toy.

If God answered what I prayed for and mystically put back on Leonardo's head, I would have been punished for not returning the toy or I might have been accused of stealing.

Also, it is our human tendency to pray to God when we exhausted all our options, while we could have avoided all the troubles we made if we just went to Him first.

I realized the power of prayer very young as a child, when my faith was at its greatest because I have nothing but to depend on God. As the years went by and the prayerful child in me was lost along the way.

When things started to go wrong, I worked hard to make it right only to do more damage. I have failed to see that prayer is essential in the things that we do for it gives us a higher purpose. So I looked for it, only to find that it has always been there, waiting for me to humble myself before God.

Prayer is very powerful, it inspires, it protects, it moves us. The lack thereof, misguides us and weakens us.

Keep on praying for God hears them, and in many instances our human capacity fails us to understand the ways of the Divine, and times that we do not know what we ask for, but worry not for God is omniscient and I am assured that no matter how it will be, our prayers will always be answered.

So before doing anything else, let's pray first.

"And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." Matthew 21:22
