iPhone.
seriously this iPhone war is going outta control. Full page adverts by Singtel, M1 & Starhub...gaahhh. whats the shit with iPhone anyway? The war between red, orange and green seems like their lifelines depend on it, if they lose that means, its the equivalent of the Mayan 2012 calendar.
Can't deny that it looks pleasant etc etc and has plenty of computing application and games, but would you shell out $1,100 for an iPhone 3Gs with 32gb? $1,100 is the going market rate for iPhone. So if you happen to land your hand @ one, you're effectively holding a cool grand with your hands.
Yes, i repeat again...$1,100 right in your hands.
1) $1,100 can purchase the equivalent of 350 plates of chicken rice, plus enough $$ left to chill out at a cafe, plus for that cab fare home.
if not $1,100 can also be used to purchase an LV bag(Neverfull or Speedy 30). or a Gucci bag, or perhaps 2 pairs of heels from Ferragamo. It could also be used to purchase a Tag Heuer watch. You could also use it to purchase a plane ticket to Japan. why get an iPhone??
2) why would you want to carry a phone which is carried by everyone else? i could estimate that almost 90% of the hippest population in SG is carrying the iPhone(don't pray pray okay), and for goodness sake, even all my other projectmates in Uni are using the iPhone.
you could see lecture-mates fiddling with the iPhone whilst the lecturer isn't looking so that they could stay awake.
3) and when you purchase the iPhone, you become a victim of the warfare between the 3 telcos in Singapore.
4) phone depreciates like crazy. you can be sure that when the hype is over, the price for the phone will drop. yes, i hope that iPhones becomes worthless so i'll can get to purchase one.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA. WAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAK.
5) there are phones from HTC which could rival the iPhone and trounce it in terms of functions and abilities. there's also the Samsung Omnia. Steve Jobs's laughing @ the iPhone noobs. Because of you, he gets a highly paid Job.
6) if you drop it, the iPhone is known to lose its sensitivity for the touchscreen, and if you bring it to the svc center, you are giving Apple chances to squeeze moolah from yer pockets.
okay, im only saying this because im a hater and i don't like mainstream stuff, which is used by everyone else. the first time, they had the iPuke, Nano, then the iPhone. Apple's really good @ marketing eh.. Everything they make, it sells.
Charis disapproves of iPhone. Will only approve if he manages to land his hand on an iPhone, sometime in future - which may not happen due to the absurb pricing of $1,100.
meanwhile, i hate iphone. oh well, in time, i'll probably be using my iPhone equivalent - the LG GT505 :)) seems like nobody's interested in my phone, even though i priced it @ $350. Oh well, received an offer for $300, so i guess why not i'll use it?
