08 Jul 2009 Phone Woes
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: , ,  | 2 Comments

In the midst of acquiring a new phone… Threw my plans of having an iPhone 3GS out of the window immediately after looking at the price tags. Because if I were to sign up for a subscription plan of $39.00 (the cheapest), I would have to pay at least close to $700 after all the misc charges, such as new SIM card etc. Cos I am still with Starhub.

Though I started working, it’s still not appropriate to splurge so much on it, though I really want one, thanks to AppStore. Well, without app store, Apple won’t be enjoying such status. I may never get to experience first hand what an iPhone can do, but what can I do if my wallet gets too much damage?

I am happy for those who will be getting their iPhone 3GS, but as for me, I know I can’t afford it.

For the record, this is my current mobile phone.

It’s a humble SonyEricsson Z200i. Nothing fanciful, not even Bluetooth, nor Camera.

I know people would probably shake their heads at me, and wonder why I didn’t upgrade. Well, let’s just say that times are hard, and I know my financial situation won’t allow me to upgrade my phone to something better then.

And I am also not lucky enough to win phones in contests or lucky draws I take part in. Oh well.

Perhaps I should really just go out and get the Samsung Jet… or is there a kind soul willing to sponsor me a phone? (Kidding).

If you think I should consider other phones, please leave me a comment. :)
