new phone

Must jot this down! :D After 5-6 yrs with my Sony Ericsson walkman phone, I've finally decided to switch to a smartphone. I've been reminding myself that i don't need a smartphone and my handphone is still very usable. I don't call much and I have internet most of the time. Why do I need a high technology phone?

But my heart keep pushing me to go for one. It's peer pressure. Everyone got one, why shouldn't I? Mom keep telling me I'll looked old-fashioned and out-dated with my friends who carry smartphones and update status all the time. Sigh..even mom's phone is better than mine. But i need to save money! With the house loan taking effect this year, my monthly saving is dropping so much!

Never the less, i went to Kinta City and had a look at Samsung smartphones. The price is high without a data plan. (I was thinking to get Samsung Galaxy S2) So, I walked into the DIGI store (with mom) and spoke to the promoter. Looking at the phone package and data plan..i started calculating my monthly expenses. The promoter suggested to take the iPhone data plan. Mom and I decided to take a break at Secret Recipe and rethink about the purchase. Should I or should I not get it now? We had 2 pieces of cake and went back to the DIGI store.

And guess what?! I took the iPhone plan! RM2090 for the phone and monthly data plan plus phone calls/SMS will be RM55 with autobilling service. Sounds like a good plan but guess i've to fork out more money this month and try to save more next month..

It was an instant decision. My colleagues were shocked to see me carry an iPhone to work. They said i took a big jump from an old, old phone to the newest model of iPhone. :D But i'm loving my new phone. Though a bit new to the technology, i'll try to learn fast and upload more photos and postings. ;P
