Bought New White iPhone 3GS with Singtel

Days before I bought iPhone 3GS, I was still visualizing that I would get a black one. But turn out, my internet finding shows that white iPhone casing doesn’t catch that much finger print and scratches comparing to the classic black colour. Last minute, I changed my mind.

By signing a SingTel’s 2-years iOne phone plan and Broadband on Mobile (BBOM) data plan, I end up spending SGD598 for this 16GB phone. Too bad Starhub still hasn’t sealed the deal bringing in iPhone, or else, I will still support Starhub.

Especially based on my personal experience, Starhub customer service is much friendlier, more responsive than Singtel. No idea iPhone has caused how many existing Starhub and M1 users switching their mobile phone carrier.

Compare to Nokia N97, that’s the nearest phone I can use to compare with recently, I have no problem understanding the user interface of iPhone 3GS. I’m also an iPod Touch user, so the only learning curve will be using the phone, SMS and camera functions.

One of the limitations I don’t like is the lack of users own customized SMS tone! Similar to Mac OS X, wonder why Apple don’t let users have their own customized sound effect.

The obvious difference to my iPod Touch is the speed. The speed of opening browser, loading web pages, open applications are super fast.

I have downloaded 103 free apps from the iTunes App Store within the first day. I guess this is what iPhone users spending their time with the phone.
