DiGi iPhone 4 Me

Yeah! After my frantic attempts to get my friends in US and Singapore to help me get my very own iPhone 4 (which has obviously failed), iPhone 4 can be bought directly from Malaysia now! Imagine my excitement when i found out that the Digi's iPhone pre-registration has ended. Would you believe i refreshed the Digi's iPhone webpage almost every minute after 6pm on the 23rd of September to see whether the price plan has been updated?? For those of you who are in my Facebook, you would know my anticipation for the Digi's iPhone plans :D When it was finally updated, i wasn't disappointed.

Some of you might have known, i bought my iPhone 3GS from the other operator (that-shall-not-be-named) last year and few months later when i found out that Digi is starting to sell iPhones too and at a soooo much more attractive price...i almost banged my head on the wall! What's more, when i'm complaining about my limited data plan from the other operator, the boyfriend (who is using Digi) never missed any opportunity to mock me in my choice of telco operators whenever he has the chance. And he always quotes the Digi slogan..."Digi-always the smarter choice!" Duh...

Since my "bond of suffering" (my 1 year contract for my 3GS) is almost over, i just couldn't wait to get out of this abusive relationship :D My contract ends on 10/10/10 (nice date huh?;)) and i've been telling everyone...i am gonna port over to Digi on 11th of October itself! I can't wait!

OPI Iphone App

Ola! I is back...

actually i got a few girly posts and some food posts to blog about but it seems that laziness has got the better of me these days...sigh...sims3,facebook and twitter is taking up much of my time. anyway, i just downloaded this cool app on my iphone and i think it deserves some mentioning in my humble blog

may i present to you the OPI app...



you know how many shades OPI nail polishes comes in right?? hundreds upon thousands...well, i could be exaggerating but let's just say there are just too many shades to choose from if you wanna choose just one shade or two...

this app allows you to choose an OPI shade and see how it looks like on the hands on the screen. you can even adjust the skin tone of the hand accordingly so that you can guesstimate how it would like on your own hand.



pretty cool tho it might not truly reflect the texture of the shades. but still, a nifty app :)

Iphone 3gs review

Finally got my Iphone 3GS 16gb after 40 days of waiting. Got my 3GS from Maxis with a 1 year contract at RM2099....and the process between my pre-booking and the day i got my phone is another story...we will leave that for another day and all i can tell u is that...it wasnt a pleasant experience =_="

Anyway...can u imagine my excitement to finally hold my baby in my hands after soooo many days of waiting???



This being my first Apple product...i must say i m quite intrigued with how they package their iphones....such a small cute box...the box is only slightly bigger than the phone itself



ahhhh...my sleek smooth surface baby :)



and the wallpaper you so often see on maxis iphone ads :D



let's see what we have in the package...a 3 pin plug, a USB cable and an earphone (all in white! lovin it! ok i know its not pink but white is the nxt best thing after pink for a gadget)



when the maxis staff explained to me the 3 pin plug...i was like how do i charge it??? cos there's no cable attached to it....

then she explained to me that i could actually plug in the usb cable to the 3 pin plug and we have a charger!



isnt it nifty??? :) And if you have your phone plugged in to your pc with the same usb cable, it would also charge the phone! now i don have to bring my charger AND my usb cable...it's 2-in-1!

also in the package...the usual phone manual you get with every phones...



the only difference being.....you only get a manual of less than 20 pages



it is either Apple is trying to conserve the environment by using less paper or they are so confident in their product being intuitive enough to not need a manual..lol

but i would somewhat agree with the latter...it IS intuitive! with only one physical button (not incl the volume control button,power button and the silent switch) on the phone...it is really quite a no-brainer using the iphone



it comes preloaded with all the normal stuffs...calendar, clock, calculator, compass, stock...

since this is the 3gs...with the 'S' for Speed...i must say browsing is fast and seamless and smooth!



type in the web address with the on-screen qwerty keys (this needs some getting used to type efficiently...i can now type with 2 fingers :P)

another thing i love about browsing with the iphone is the 'pinching' motion u use to zoom in and zoom out when you are browsing



cool and intuitive! as you can see i've mentioned intuitive that many times in this post :D

another new thing with the 3gs is the 3.2mp auto-focus camera. it also comes with a touch-to-focus feature



quality of photos are useable but not perfect...still not too bad...here's a photo taken with the 3gs



(photos in my previous 2 posts were taken with my 3gs too)

and the other thing new about 3gs is the video feature...i know this is nothing new with other much cheaper options out there but since this is a new feature apple put in, i think it deserves some mentioning dont u think so? lol

slide the little slider to use the video function...



with 30 frames per second, i must say the video quality is quite commendable and you get this useful feature where you can directly edit and trim your videos



the other thing i love about iphone is the App Store!



i honestly feel that this is the thing that really puts apple iphone on top of the game compared with all the other better phones out there

here, you get to download all sorts of apps from games, productivity tools, networking tools, and the list goes on and on....



but of course, not all apps are free unless of course *cough* you *cough* jailbreak your phone *cough* =)

i really enjoy lying in the comfort of my bed and downloading those free apps :)

among my favourite apps are this very useful facebook app for iphone



i could almost do anything i can do when i m fb-ing on my pc here...upload photos, send mails, chat, tag photos....

and my other fav app is the BlogPress from google blogger where i can directly write and post photos up to my blog!



the only downside of the phone is of course the battery life...on average, i need a charge every 1.5 days...but of course whenever you plug in the phoen to your pc to sync and copy photos it is already charging

i am intentionally delaying my review of the phone until after 2 weeks++ of usage so that i can give a honest, unbiased review that is not affected by my "new toy syndrome" lol

but so far ... i m really ♥-ing my iphone! =)
