Got a new phone: nokia 5800
I finally managed to order a nokia 5800 after days of pondering whether to buy it or not. I suffer from compulsive buyer’s remorse disorder. This manifests itself in the way that I keep searching and analyzing before buying anything. For eg. when I decided that I had to get a smartphone, the process became one long time wasting avenue.
I must have spent hours and hours on tech review sites, going through phone after phone. I had called multiple vendors, my service provider, alternative services asking for the best plans and then still not decided. Every time I did that, I felt pangs of guilt that I was wasting so much time on looking and maybe I would be better of not buying anything.
Finally I decided to buy one of Ebay: a unlocked G1 for about 290 bucks. It was a good deal and I was happy that I had put an end to my search. But that was not to be. No sooner had placed by bid and won it, I realized that the seller had only 2 reviews and that from the same person. It was an overseas vendor. Then started the next process, scourging for ways to spot scamsters on ebay. I was satisfied with the protection Paypal was providing. I went through their T&Cs and saw quite a few omissions and loopholes which could have left me in the red. After a day of reading up stuff on Ebay frauds, I decided that all signs pointed towards my seller being a fraud and I decided not to go ahead with the purchase.
Back again to the search, after a couple of weeks I saw a deal on dell.com for Nokia 5800 for 250 bucks after rebate. I decided to go ahead with it immediately primarily because I was frustrated with myself for whiling away so much time. Anyways it was done and yesterday I finally got my phone. First impressions look good, as I already knew what to expect thanks to my endless online review reading. My own detailed review should come pretty soon and till then adios!

Appam C Proves he's an Idiot!
Appam Chuthiya(name made famous by Fakeiplplayer) hurled a few abuses to Hayden after the latter smashed him for 3 sixes in one over. Appam wanted to let him know that he had the last laugh. But the whole of India was laughing at him. Hayden didn't bother though, neither did Dhoni on the other side. Chennai won the match eventually by 12 runs. Maybe if Appam had given 2 less sixes away, his side might have won.
I was never a big fan of Sreesanth and felt his antics made him look like a fool. I wish someone calls Harbhajan and asks him to slap him again. Anyways here is the link of the article where Hayden stated that he frankly didn't think much Sreesanth as a bowler.
