Expectation

Well, it's a long time since the very last post. I was doing wordpress and now i feel like i want to post here.

I'm creating this post from my new mobile phone. It's an android. Very good. Cheap price with unbelieveable feature. It cost me Rp. 1.999.000 or around US$225. And what did you get? An Android phone with wi-fi, touchscreen, gps and hsdpa equipped device. It's totally a superb feature for a cell phone at this price range. It's Samsung Galaxy 5.

At first i didn't expect much for this cell phone. I guess it will feel like its late brother, Samsung Galaxy Spica. For me, the touch screen is not performing well. It is capacitive but somehow operates and feels like resistive. I didn't like the touchscreen.

Then there were this tech show at my university from Samsung mobile. They were showing their product lineup for android such as Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy Tab and of course Samsung Galaxy 5.

Of course i think about what can Samsung offer for a phone cheaper than Samsung Galaxy Spica. It will be the same responsivity, or worse, limited feature and so on.

But then i went to the booth and have a good look at their product. I look the Samsung Galaxy S first. It was big and so responsive. Very nice product. All the feature was superb. And the thickness and the weight is very good. And then i tried this Samsung Galaxy 5. It feels just right in my hand. Unlike my thought before, the touchscreen is very responsive Just like what i've experienced on iPod before. The graphics is ok and the model is also good. I suddenly fall for this phone and willing to have one.

What i can learn from this is that when you expect nothing or even bad expectation, and when you get something beyond your expectation, you will feel lucky and happy, perhaps. And i think that it applies for the reverse condition. When you expect to high for something, and when you got no higher than what you expect, you will feel uneasy and sad perhaps.

So that from now on, i will try not to expect. Hahaha. Sounds weird isn't it?
