Well, it’s been a love-hate relationship with the iPhone 3G I’ve been using for 14 months now. The OS interface is gorgeous, and there continues to be a huge store of apps available for it.
But the phone hasn’t been without huge issues too. E.g. paying for utilities which I feel ought to be baseline and built into the phone especially considering that there are phones which already offer that. Like a better SMS facility, or the ability to view Office documents, and document storage.
More seriously though is that since November last year, the phone has experienced SIM card problems which render it completely unusable unless I reboot the phone – but the freakin’ phone doesn’t even ring out an alarm when it happens to begin with so how would I know.
I’ve been keeping an eye on Android phones, and decided this morning to go for a crazily attractive promotion that Singtel was having: basically, the Samsung Galaxy S phone which has won rave reviews. The phone is suppose to retail at close to a thousand moola: but after completing the online order, it cost me just… $48.
Yeah – I was really surprised too! How did that happen?! Well…
– The voice/data plan I opted for will cost less than my current equivalent plan with M1 – wow.
– Singtel is giving me $150 worth of discounts as a welcome package.
– The package also comes with a pair of concert tickets for this South Korean boy band… and people are selling those tickets online now for between $400 to $500.
So, if I were to sell those tickets, I’ll actually be coming out of this arrangement with a new phone and $400 richer LOL.
Only thing is that I won’t be selling those tickets. Call me crazy; but I’ll be giving them away to my students.:)
