Intro (grandma story)

Since years ago, people around me including myself, have been using Nokia or Sony Ericsson phones like forever. Whenever they get a new phone, it’s either of them.

Probably both Nokia and Sony Ericsson succeed in captivating the users in my country, I don’t know.. Other brands such as Motorola and Samsung do pop up occasionally at that time, but they just can’t penetrate into the market..

Our impression on Nokia’s product is tough and useful phones. Whereas Sony Ericsson produces stylish and media-centered devices, especially their K and W series, but they’re not as durable as Nokia’s.

Until the iPhone hype reached our shore, that pretty much changed everything. People here are so excited with the iDevice and they view it as a premium product which symbolizes the users’ social status.

And then, Google’s Android joins the mobile battlefield too.

Both Apple and Google had caused a huge wave of smartphone revolution, especially the Android OS which helps HTC, Motorola, LG and Samsung mobiles to gain recognition in my country.

Coincidentally, my good-ol Nokia decide to blurp a series of problems to me, so I decided to get myself a new phone. The result – HTC Incredible S (IS).

Months of complaining and enduring the problems of my old phone…

Went through all sorts of reviews, recommendations and comparisons… I know it’s smartphone war out there…

And finally, my decision goes to Android – HTC Incredible S.
