All hail the Jesus Phone

YES! After so much hemming and hawing, I've finally gotten the iPhone!

Couldn't get it any earlier because my contract's under M1 for the longest time ever and also, getting a camera phone during NS is out of question. But well, I'm still 6 months(GOSH! TIME FLIES!) till ORD though.

So when I heard M1's bringing in iPhone, my reaction was, "ABOUT TIME?!" and got mine reserved via the website.



I might sound like a douche to those who have been using iPhone since it came out, but I don't care! ICANHASANIPHONENAOOOOOOO!!!

Having using it for a few days now, I thought to myself, "WTF am I thinking of when I even considered getting a Blackberry OR an iPhone?!"

The iPhone vs. BB war is seriously over-hyped. I'm aware how our blogger queen is constantly bashing Apple stuff, especially so on the iPhone after she has gotten a Blackberry, BUT, I don't get it. No, I'm not starting a war over here. Personally, I just feel Blackberry cannot match up to iPhone's awesomeness.



I don't want to bash Blackberry, but you've got to be blind if you say that it is chioer(more beautiful) than iPhone in terms of form factor.

But then again, I shan't be too quick to judge because this is really a 'to each his/her own' thing. For me, I really adore the slick design of the iPhone. Blackberry on the other hand just looks like any other smartphones with the QWERTY keypad.

I could go on and on about how "cool" iPhone is, but if there's only one thing that I would say about it that (I feel) triumphs over any other phone, is that it doesn't feel like a phone when you're using it.

Prior to getting it, I'd actually been playing around with my friends' berries (sounds wrong LOL), and although I do agree BB is a very nifty smartphone, it only felt like I'm using yet another very good mobilephone. iPhone on the other end, has got this user-experience that gets me addicted.

It is like a device that came from year 3000 in the future that has been brought waaaaay forward(or is it backwards?!) for us to use.

Then again, you can say I'm totally bias towards it because I think it's "cool" to own an iPhone - akin to how some kids think it's "cool" to smoke. But if there is anything to blame at all, it should be the snobbish iPhone users and NOT the phone itself.



Went to Gmask to skin the phone straight after purchase. And that's the design I sort of randomly picked just because it was the only one with lightning bolts in it. I'll be writing abit more on the skinning in my next blog entry.

Oh and the most ridiculous buy of the year is this:



$55 for 6 socks. It's the fanboy in me that made the decision.

So with all that, you can call me an Apple-snob or whatever you want, but I'm happily addicted to my iPhone. My life is now complete.

P/s: And just so you know, I named my iPhone "Gagarin".
