Ipodcalypse

Saturday, July 12, 2008

How's your weekend? I do hope you have a great one. As for me, I experienced an extremely crazy Ipod-calyse moment engaging with the new 3G iphone which released on 11th of July.

I ran into Apple store as soon as my hubby offed work on 11th, but the 2 hours long queue draw me back from getting it on that day. We left the Apple store and decided to come back again on the next day morning, I mean early in the morning before the Apple store open (the business hours starts from 9am till 9pm). Outrageously, I get up at 7.30am this morning and leave the house by 8.30am.

YES!!! Early bird gets the worms, that is the key, I thought.

What the $#%^&#^@%$#@%! Excuse me, you guys camped here since yesterday? It's just 9am. American runs on iPhone.

Are we going to queue up? Of course, I said. Darling, I do this plainly FOR YOU! For your belated birthday present.



After 30 minutes...



<me+lining3
The line still not moving yet. ARGH...



After 1 hour and 30 minutes...


lining
I need a BREAK! I need to SIT! I need Starbucks!



After 2 hours (sharp)...



Nothing... Yup, we end up getting out the store with nothing. We have a situation with the phone line (AT&T). Therefore, we travel to the AT&T store to find out the reasons and try to work things out. As I blogged earlier, the 16G iPhone only cost US$ 299. However according to terms and conditions (watch out of these business trick), new AT&T users and those who have AT&T contract less than 24 months are not eligible for the US$ 299 discount price (I thought that's the normal price through their advertisement).

Unfortunately, we have to pay the FULL AMOUNT of US$ 499 for a 16G black iPhone.. What a bummer!

How sad! We pay US$ 200 extra. With that amount of money, I can probably get a Nintendo DS or four Wii games or five Chanel's eye creams :'(

What to do? How can you resist such a beauty and sexy gadget?

iphone2

Read again, I said such a beauty (I mean my own picture in the iPhone) and sexy gadget (iPhone is undoubtedly sexy). Aren't we just the prefect match for my hubby's belated birthday present? You bet.

woa! 3G iPhone.

I have to admit that only iphone with your picture in it, is the pretty and sexy gadget.

But if the picture in the phone is you with sexy swimsuit, then the iphone will be more sexier.

Ha Ha~
