Abject sadness - iphone is coming to Singapore

13 June 2008 9 Comments

Yes I know. It is going to be launched here soon and people are waiting with baited breath and excitement. Some, I heard, have even booked their phones!

I am feeling nothing but increasing sadness and irritation (for Apple lah, not the people buying).

Very soon, everyone is going to be carrying the same phone when it is launched. I hate that (yes, very nb of me). I am using the iphone now and apart from the fact that it is a truly gorgeous gadget, I also adore it because you don’t see it everywhere. In other words, there is a certain exclusivity and I am the kind of person who don’t like mass market clothes, accessories, jewellery, gadgets, mass anything. That’s why I only bring in a limited amount of quantities for my clothing site, and that’s why I seldom buy mainstream labels and prefer to shop from exclusive or overseas sites and vintage stores.

So, I am getting very upset as the whole world and their grandma is getting an iphone with the impending launch.

I might just use an old school 大哥大just to be “individualistic”. LOL.

    well I’m not getting the iphone. Don’t believe in falling prey to the anticipation and excitement they had roused.

    Good for you, Evie. I am also so not anticipating and not excited.

    Hahaha… I totally understand how you feel, my dear. I’m sorry things had to turn out this way. The only thing I can say is… I’m glad I didn’t buy the iPhone when it first came out. If not… I’d be singing your tune! Hehe.

    Sheylara: Yeah, otherwise we can start a support group and hug/ weep together. Or something. LOL.

    seriously, iPhone is way overhyped now. there are other brands of touchscreen handphones do much better.

  • Xtralicious (author) said:

    Gary: Example?

  • Gary said:

    like Samsung omnia, Garmin nuvifone and HTC touch diamond. These 3 prices are quite high end, i should say.

    i was trying a friend’s iphone some time back and was mortified by how it doesn’t respond to ‘nail clicks’.

    it is the one and only reason i decide not to have it. have to cut my nails u noe. :(
