A Party with the LG KB770 Mobile Phone

“But I know it was right HERE!!’ bellowed Duncan unto the quivering form of Riley. “How can you possibly say you don’t know??!!” Duncan crossed the room and pulled the doors of the cupboard apart with such force that the doors tottered at the hinges. He pulled the insides and tossed them about, his jaws clenched. “You have no idea how important those are! You are so dead Riley.” Riley moved about anxiously, lifting books and pillows to see if he was lucky enough to spot it. The raw anger in Duncan’s voice, and his dour form made him shiver. He then slipped out of the room, only to be met by Pat, whose face was flushed red. She was standing with her lean frame rested on the door and bursted out laughing, seeing the expression in Riley’s face.

“What….god…” she couldn’t even speak, bouts of uncontrollable laughter seemed to choke her. Riley, at first amused, got rather annoyed and yelled “What the heck looks so funny, huh? Girls!!!” Pat, whose laughter seemed to be sparked off even more by Riley’s sudden burst, came forward to hold his arm. Riley pulled it away, like she was some untouchable. “You’re crazy!” “Hey, hey cool it Riley boy! Dunc’s pen-drive is with me.” Riley gaped at her for a second, then smiled as realisation struck him. “So it’s you folks eh? Hiding away Duncan’s stuff! His mobile phone? “With Kev” “Camcorder?” “David” “Wallet?” “Maggie.” Riley smiled wider, but sobered up a little and said “But I do feel sorry for that dude. He’s all worked up.” “Let him, let him. That’s the whole idea.” Saying this she whispered something to him and the two of them scampered off to the streets.

The clock was about to strike 12, and the world was enrobed in peace, if only temporarily. Duncan was moving about the room, tearing his hair apart. He was convinced that he was robbed, perhaps a burglar found his way into the room when he was away at the store. But how come he was the only one to be robbed? Thus he debated whether he should lodge a complaint with the police or if he should look for clues as Sherlock Holmes would, when the door was knocked. “Tap Tap Tap” Duncan hesitated. Was it the burglar? Was he back for something else? “Tap Tap Tap” He seized a cricket bat, and opened the door, ready to strike.

The door creaked and complained loudly, and opened to total darkness. A black form moved in a flash and threw itself onto him. Duncan fell back, startled. “Happy Birthday Duncan!” Several forms moved into view and thrusted boxes into his hands. The black form revealed itself to be Pat, who was in the prettiest dress he had ever seen. It took several minutes for him to realise what was happening. He was dragged into the room and a huge pie was smashed across his face. “Hey!!” Duncan yelped and resisted at first, but gave in in the end. He then remembered that it was the 19th of April, his 26th birthday! David, Riley, Pat, Kevin and Maggie stood around him beaming. “Happy 86th birthday, dude.” said David and Duncan evinced his best smile possible. He was on top of the world, he felt his life was indeed worth all the trouble, what with such great friends he had made.

He unwrapped the boxes to find his old camcorder, mobile phone and pen-drive replaced with sparkling new ones. “So it’s you guys!!” he exclaimed and Pat came forward to kiss him, “We’re sorry Duncan.” With lots of drinks and cakes in store, the five of them partied till 3 in the morning. Pat stayed back, and Duncan and herself sat at his balcony, chatting about everything under the sun. Duncan was exploring his gifts, of which the LG KB770 mobile phone was his favourite. “This is my selection” said Pat. “Mmm” said Duncan, surveying it. “Is it better than my previous one?” “Ofcourse! It’s the perfect mobile phone for you. I knew you’ll love the glossy, sleek build. It has a digital TV tuner, you know.”

“What? Really?” “Yes” went on Pat. “It can pick up free-to-air digital TV broadcasts. The camera is a 3.2 megapixel one, it supports HSDPA, GPRS and stereo Bluetooth.” “I see it has a microSD card slot.” remarked Duncan. “And USB connectivity too.” Pat nodded and said “It’s just 13.2mm thick.” “Wow, nice touchscreen, what, is it about 3 inches?”

“Exactly. The images look nice, right? The screen has a 400 x 240 pixel resolution and 262,000 colours. It’s a mini TV, you know. Features a DBV-H TV receiver and TV out functionality, so -” “So I can view everything in the mobile phone in a TV screen” interjected Duncan. “There is 3G” went on Pat, a little peeved with Duncan’s interjection. “What is the memory capacity?” “It’s a good 100MB – I know you’ll love me for this – it can be expanded to a whopping 8GB!” Duncan beamed, even in the dim light of the balcony, Pat could make out Duncan’s admiration building up for her gift. “You see the other secondary camera up front?” “Video calling.” stated Duncan.

He took a snap of her with the camera and saw that there was no flash, though the auto-focus and video recording features impressed him. “It has a document viewer!” said Duncan who was starting to like the KB770 very much. “Yes.” said Pat, proud of her choice. “Organiser is there too. So you can store your business stuff. There’s an email client, web browser and the usual SMS and MMS facilities. “Is it a GSM device?” “Tri-band with WCDMA 2100.” came the reply. “The talk time, Duncan is upto 4 hours and the standby time is about 300 hours.” “Let me guess, the weight…..um..is 100 grams or so?” “Wow Duncan, it’s 109 g!” replied Pat admiring Duncan for the umpteenth time.

The moon peeped from behind the clouds, he was jealous, for he did not have a woman as beautiful as Pat next to him. “It’s great Pat.” said Duncan. “I absolutely love it. Thank you.” saying this, he kissed her, and the moon hid behind the clouds, absolutely embarrassed.

LG KS360 Mobile Phone

“Thank you son, God bless you.” smiled the little old lady and pecked Duncan’s bristly cheek. He led her into a waiting bus, made sure she got a seat and left with a wave and a smile. How he loved to see people smile, the genuine smile of gratitude. His eyes were suddenly moist, for her smile had triggered memories of his mother. In a cloud of nostalgia, he walked towards a garden gate, that stood in a state of dereliction. At first he didn’t notice them, for they were enshrouded in a cloud of dust. It took a few seconds for him to register what was happening, then he shot towards the spot like an arrow. “Boys! God, get off!!” The two kids were pulling at each other madly, grunting and punching and kicking all at once. “Let me go mister! Let me at him! I’ll show him!” With a lot of struggle, Duncan pulled them apart. But they were still growling at each other, that he said, “You both! Stop it or I’ll call an officer this instant!” At this, one of them ran like a roadrunner and was out of sight in an instant.

The other kid stared at him for an instant, shrugged and started walking. His gangly form suggested that he was in his teens and Duncan fell in step with him and said “Now what was that about?” “None of your business mister.” growled the kid, silencing Duncan. He walked on with him, hoping to cool him a bit. “Look, I’m sorry to be rude. Could you please leave me alone? That good for nothing Gavin! he, like hell busted my mobile phone!” ‘MOBILE PHONE’. At that word, Duncan knew he was in for a lengthy conversation with the lanky kid next to him. “How in the world am I going to buy myself a new one?” “The LG KS360.” said Duncan. “What? What did you say?” “It’s not all that expensive.” The kid stopped on his tracks, gave Duncan his hand and said,”I’m Sean.” “Duncan. Nice to meet you.” “So you were talking about a mobile phone?

Duncan smiled and began, “Yes, LG KS360 is a slider phone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. It’s ideal for social networking, text messaging, instant messaging, email and MMS. It has a two megapixel camera and has Edge, GPRS and GSM connectivity. “No 3G?” asked Sean, who was now fidgeting inside his pocket. Duncan, watched him keenly, wondering if he smoked and was glad when he took out a strip of gum instead. “There is no 3G. But it provides quick access to MySpace, Facebook and Bebo. And there is also access to YouTube, Flickr and Dating Direct. But the sites you get depend on your mobile phone operator. It is a little bulky, it measures 101.5 x 51 x 16.8mm and weighs about 111.5g. “Er…Duncan, if I may ask, what is the size of the display?” “It’s about 2.4 inches, with a 240 x 320 pixel resolution, Sean. The slide-out keypad is easy to type, there is an email client and you can set up an IMAP or POP3 account. Browsing the Web is a pleasure using the KS360, you can download Opera Mini, if you wish, as it has a basic Wap 2.0 browser.

“It is ideal for kids your age, Sean, and is perfect for messaging. Is there anything else you want to know about?” Sean tilted his head slightly and asked, “Yes, how much is the is the built-in memory Duncan?” “It is about 15MB, you can use a a card to expand it up to 4GB. There is a microSD card slot provided. The music player is a basic one, and overall, it has an uncomplicated user-interface. And, it has a talktime of five hours and 444 hours of stand-by time. It’s a fairly basic mobile phone, Sean, but is quite good when it comes to messaging, like I already told you.”

Sean, who listened intently, was by now out of his ruffian mode, and was rather like a child, curious to know more and more. They were at the bus-stop by then, and Sean shuffled about restlessly, the diffident nature of his adolescence taking over. “So, thanks Duncan. You, er…actually were more than just helpful. And, er…” He was struggling for words when Duncan slapped his back jauntily and said, “You’re a good kid, Sean. Just don’t pick up a fight again.” Sean smiled, his cheeks flushed, “Sure thing Duncan.”
