I got an iPhone!!! (and you don’t have one WTF)
So now for the first time in my life, I know what it feels to hold the latest most in demand item.
I got 2 groups of people who make me feel like putting my fist through a wall.
One group is the iPhone groupies who pester me to sell my phone to them.
The other day I was at a Maxis center cos I had a question about my phone (iPhone noob ok forgive me. The guy whom I approached to assist me picked up my phone and said “wah no screen protector you really don’t love your phone wan hor?”
Me: “Hahaha no laaaa I just haven’t bought the protector yet…”
Him: “Might as well sell it to me.”
Maxis staff don’t get some kind of priority wan ah! *feels exclusive
The other group of people is the BB evangelists who call me traitor because I’ve switched to the iPhone WTF.
I can never win.
Jokes aside, I have been using the iPhone for about a week now. An entirely new experience because I’ve never had a touch screen phone before.
My first encounter was…the microsim card.
Maxis lets you swap your micro sim for a minimal fee but I felt strangely insecure about giving up my regular sim for a micro one.
(plus I thought I could DIY a micro sim for cheaper – yes I am that kind of person)
Although I wouldn’t have done it if not for Wombeh’s explicit encouragement *stares
He said “aiya no problem wan very easy you can just buy a sim card and cut it yourself”
Like a trusting lamb, I bought a Hotlink card, put about fifty bucks worth of data on it (what is an iPhone without the data) and went home.
Then I asked “Wombeh so how do cut up my sim card?”
He said “oh just go on youtube and watch the tutorials” WTF.
So I did. And used scissors to cut up my sim card. And destroyed it. AND wasted my 50 bucks.
So never do this at home kids.
Anyway Mummy Ooi used it.
Then Fat Her used it.
Then I used it.
And… good lord the apps.
I knew about the apps but what I didn’t know was how much they would touch me WTF.
Scrolling and zooming is ridicuously easy. And there are so many to choose from T_______T
My favorite app is the App Store WTF.
These are the apps I’ve downloaded thus far.
Besides the usual Twitter, FB, Foursquare, there’s also a whole bunch of nerdy applications that I absolutely love!
I always associated apps with games (and I’m not really a gaming person) but I totally lied! So many apps right up my alley!
Time Mobile – for all the best news articles.
New York Times – cannot finish reading wan wtf.
(it really is a breeze to navigate through all these news apps compared to my other phone)
New York Times crossword WTF I really am the most boring person on earth T_T
But to up my cuteness level a bit, I also downloaded some non-educational apps!
Angry Birds which makes me want to hurl my phone at the wall. I am so ridiculously bad at it I don’t know why. It’s been a week and I play it every day and I’m only at Level 3 fml.
Ant Smasher which is a totally pointless but fun game of smashing ants before they get to your food wtf.
PuriPhoto which lets you puri-fy (HAHA) your photos.
What wasn’t so easy was using the touchscreen to type.
But I think that’s more a matter of my incompetence (or lack of) rather than anything else.
I’m getting better at it though!
And how could anyone forget – the thinnest smartphone in the world.
Can display multiple languages and characters!
And possibly the nicest function…Facetime!
Oh and the two camera function! I love it when gadgets reflect my face wtf.
Here I’m waiting to test out Facetime with Huai Bin.
Hello Huai Bin!
But aiya I see HB so often anyway wtf the best thing about Facetime is I can video chat with anyone who’s far away but still has an iPhone 4.
Like Ooib! *trumpets blare
Mummy Ooi and I had a gala time Facetime-ing with him while he showed us his apartment in Boston.
Maxis iPhone 4 plans start as low as RM100. Here for details. Or if you have a Maxis contract already, you can opt for contract extension (see here)

PingChat can be verrry flaky. I’ve had message lag in excess of 8+ hours!
Spend the US$1 and download WhatsApp. Works much better and has features like sending pix and what not that PingChat charges for…
