Blessed with a baby girl. Too tiered now to write anything else, but more to come here for sure. A unique experience getting a new life into the world, and watch them grow. Every expression is to be cherished.

Some pictures.

iPad comes in this week on Friday (23 July) and the iPhone4 7 days later. Can’t wait to play with these 2 (before buying them I guess)

The cat’s out of the bag so to say. Singtel has announced its price plans for the iPhone and I am disappointed. There are several reasons for me not to by jumping with joy

  • There is no unlimited data plan. da!! this is singapore folks with a 90% mobile penetration. Look at Starhub, for S$37 you get unlimited data.
  • The phone is about S$800+ with a S$27 plan. Taking a minimum of 2 years contract the cheapest it would be (without data!!) is 1496. why would I not just get it shipped from HK ?
  • NO Visual Voice mail ? WHAT ?
  • Its 12:34 in the night so I am sleepy!

Is it all dark news you ask. Well not really, there are a few very interesting tit bits in the FAQ that actually put a smile on my face.

  • The phone WILL NOT BE locked with Singtel. Notice how singtel says it may work with Starhub and M1, not it will not work
  • Singtel will allow phones from other places here in singapore. In case you are interested.

So what will I do on the 22 ? Well not sure if I will still stand in line so to say for this. I will surely go and play with the phone, even might check out if my starhub sim works with it or not. Will I buy it, depends on the contract length that singtel is insisting on. If it’s 2 years then a big NO, its far too expensive even for a fan boy :) I might also wait to see how much the phone will cost on the grey market or in India before I get it here.

UPDATE: I just got singtel to release my password for the login page. I have a confirmed booking for the 25 @ 3 pm
