Iphone 3GS direct from Apple
Busted! after I upgraded my itouch to the latest iOS 4. The screen does not respond, even after a hard reset and a itunes restore. Phone support says I should bring it to the nearest service center. Oh well, I guess I deserved it, I should have waited for a week or to and see if there were problems with the new OS. I prodded and the call center dude shared that there were a couple of issues raised to them from customers who upgraded but it seems I'm the first one to have a non-responsive screen.
The main news I'd like to take up in this post is that while looking for support info for my iTouch, I noticed that the Apple Online Store for Singapore already sells Iphone 3GS directly and at a very cheap price, 748 SGD(around 24.6k PHP)! it comes unlocked(as all phones sold in SG are) and delivery is free. I had a hunch this would happen after the launch, just like the hunch I had that Macbooks of the previous generation would be sold at a good price to clear the stocks and I was right, I got might for 1288 SGD. Beside the 3GS is the new Iphone 4, the way it is presented seemingly shows that the latest Iphone might also be sold directly on the Apple Online Store? another great news if that ever happens.
Although we would still need a data plan to fully utilized these magnificent marvels of technology, having a choice of going pre-paid or sign-up with any carrier is freedom we should treasure. It's gonna be sometime till the next update of this wonder will come so bargain hunters should grab this opportunity now!
The last IT show of the year will be on November and I'm betting on a good price for the recently upgrade Macbook Pro's, if not, good deals on iPad's. Anybody have plans of shopping for Christmas, schedule a trip to SG late November, the IT Show will be at the Expo. I was also eying the Thinkpad X100e solde for around 700+ SGD last PC Show but what would I do with another notebook
