Finally escaped the rat race of “Pulling the Trigger” to buy an iPhone 17 Pro.
After days of internal debate, financial modelling, emotional turmoil and staring at Apple’s logo, I got this Nokia 105 Classic Single SIM Keypad Phone from Flipkart for Rs 996.
And what a cool VIBE it is! I mean, what a Beast...
Solid build
Lag Free Performance
Looks good
Fits comfortably in my pocket and is just 73 gms weight
18-days standby on full charge
Up to 12 hours of talk time
Can make calls
Can send texts
Has call logs
Has FM, Alarm, Timer, Loudspeaker, Speed Dialing, 3.5mm jack
32 MB ROM & 32 MB RAM
That’s it. Just a phone that phones.
No titanium.
No ProMotion.
No Cinematic mode.
No AI powered feature that I’ll forget exists after two weeks.
No spending ₹1.5 lakh to occasionally check WhatsApp while telling myself I’m future-proofing.
Feeling extremely relieved to have escaped the psychological warfare of “Bro, it’s only ₹1.3 lakh. You get 256GB blahhhh blahhh"
Anyway, I now have around Rs 1,49,000-ish left to spend on literally anything else.
Life is good. Nokia is good. My bank account is currently receiving emotional support.
