Because I deserve it goddammit! I gloated the ever-reliant 6tag to laughing Apple and Android fanboys. I shot wonderful photos and videos over the past two years on my sweetheart the 41-megapixel-colossus Lumia 1020. I tagged #shotonmylumia, #lumiagraphy on almost every post on my Instagram. I played Asphalt 8 until my huge camera bulge burned the palm of my hands. I persisted with my broken Gorilla glass since September 2015. I paid an excess of RM1,000 (around 215 Euros) for repairs due to a malfunctioning motherboard not once, but TWICE. I queued for God-knows-how-long at THE ONLY official Microsoft repair centre in Malaysia, only to part with my Lumia for almost TWO MONTHS. And only to CRY when I got it back because I miss it so much, and other Android phones just DO'T CUT IT. I edited my slides, and saved it just in time for the presentation. I sent emails using the not-so-user-friendly local email client. I actually downloaded a Youtube app only to find out that its sole purpose is to direct me to the mobile web version of YouTube. I used Internet Explorer. I worked out with the HardFox SixPacks and HardFox 100PushUps. I used the-terribly-outdated Waze. I got my football news. I connected with my current girlfriend and future wife through calls and Whatsapp. I used Whatsapp on Window Phone. I actually searched for NEO NuAns availability in Malaysia. I used it as a makeshift thumbdrive. I Facebooked. I Tweeted. I argued fervently for the very existence of Windows Mobile eventhough we had a meagre 1.1% market share as of the end of last year. I choose bright Yellow as my colour. I read the manual. I got it as a gift from my sister. I made it my daily alarm. I calculated my daily expenses. I edited wonderful photos. I followed amazing Lumians on Instagram. I played other games like Major Mayhem, Solitaire. I found out new music through Spotify. I listened to my favourite bands. I read news. I Shazamed. I Vibered. I found out the scores of my favourite club, Manchester United. I took more amazing videos and photos. I booked movie tickets. I dropped it.... only to admire its tough built quality because if I were using a Samsung all this while, it would have turned into a rock. I managed to squeeze every bit of the battery juice on the Power-Saving mode. I waited for Cortana in the country, and still anticipating with excitement. I laughed. I smiled. I LIVED...
All on, from, because of, due to, my best phone ever; the Nokia Lumia 1020. Been using this dinosaur for the past two years and got all kinds of insult, advice and recommendations, but I would GLADLY live another TWO YEARS with it because I LOVE MY LUMIA. I LOVE WINDOWS PHONE (MOBILE). I wouldn't want anything else....!
And for these reasons, I think I deserve the prize that is the beast, the beauty, the simplicity; Lumia 950 XL.
Yes.
