Mobile

Brand/Model: Nokia 6260

How much? $3,000

Ringtones: 'I only use  vibration mode    to avoid disturbing  others.'

Special functions: 'It has a built-in MP3 player and digital camera.  I use it to take snapshots  of interesting signs and cars. It also has Quickword and Quickpoint for viewing documents.'

Personalised features: 'I like cartoon characters, so I have images  of Snoopy and Pokemon as my wallpaper. My mum gave me a jade  mobile phone accessory. She said it can bring me luck.'

MP3

Brand/Model: Z-Cyber Macer

How much?  $1,000

Top three tunes: 'Happy Together from the soundtrack of Wong  Kar-wai's movie, the national anthem, and any song from pop star Ronald Cheng Chung-kei.'

Special functions: 'The MP3 player can be used  as a USB  drive.    It  also has an FM radio that I  use  to listen to football match commentaries.'

Computer

Brand/Model: 'It's a no-name PC. My friend set it up for me; we bought the   components in Sham Shui Po.'

How much? $3,000

Special functions: 'It has    basic software,  such as Word and Excel.  Internet surfing is one of my favourite hobbies.  My mother and brother  have their own personal computers. We often use   MSN Messenger to chat,  especially  for topics we feel embarrassed to talk about  face to face.'

Wallpaper: 'Gundam.'

Digital camera

Brand/Model: EPSON L-410

How much? $2,000

Special functions: 'It has  4.0 megapixels and a 3X optical zoom lens. It's not as sleek as other digital cameras but  is of good quality.   I usually use my mobile phone to take snapshots, but I'll bring along  the digital camera for important occasions, such as field trips.  It also has a video mode, but I don't use it very often because it's tiring to hold the camera for a long period of  time.'

Electronic Dictionary

Brand/Model: Instant-Dict MD8200 Colour

How much? $3,000

Special functions: 'The English to Chinese electronic dictionary has sound capability.  It's a useful tool  for learning English because it has grammar rules. It also has games, a  calendar, and calculator.'

How often do you change your gadgets? 'I  like to change them   as often as I can.  But my mum  only buys me new  gadgets to replace  broken ones.'

One gadget you can't live without and why? 'My mobile phone. It's portable and has  many functions.   I like chatting with my friends and sometimes run up a  mobile phone bill that costs  a fortune.'
