SingTel has announced its OpenNet fibre price plans, with interest registration opening tomorrow, 1st September 2010, at their exStream site. Honestly it still looks pricey; I'm hoping for an exPress 200 plan, since exPress 150 barely beats StarHub's 100Mbps cable.
After much hesitation I finally replaced my old Leadtek PX9800GX2, which gave a BSOD every single time I ran a 3D game. The fault appeared after just a year, returned post-RMA once warranty expired, yet normal work never triggered it.
Received my black Apple iPhone 4 Bumper from the iPhone 4 Case Program today, shipped 20th August. It retails at US$29, but I find nothing special beyond the metallic volume and power buttons; it doesn't protect the back.
My clear Incase Snap Case for iPhone 4 from the iPhone 4 Case Program arrived yesterday, with Apple's shipping notice on 16th August. Being a free case, it came via DHL Global Mail in an envelope.
Yesterday was NokiaBox Message #3, the task being to unbox a gigantic box holding two Nokia C6 phones. I'd learned the details earlier from Mark's behind-the-scenes post, then met Simon from WOM World at Marina Bay Sands.
Hunting for a replacement for my Creative EP-630i headset, I weighed the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi, Bose In-Ear and Klipsch Image S4i. I settled on the S4i, recommended by colleagues and within budget, and I love its three-button remote.
I'm taking part in a Nokia contest involving bloggers from London, New York, India and Singapore. I've no idea what it is yet, just two cryptic clue messages, with all revealed next week. Fingers crossed for a Nokia N8!
My first encounter with Standard Chartered was bad: they rejected my credit card application, surely over my short six months of work since graduating rather than salary. I've reapplied this week, hopeful, and was invited to their Breeze Bloggers Meet.
Finally got the chance to buy the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. Canon's website lists it at S$159, but I picked it up for S$128 at Alan Photo Trading, plus a S$15 filter to go with it.
If you bought an iPhone 4, Apple gives you a free case under the iPhone 4 Case Program. Apply within 30 days, and your phone must be purchased before 30th September 2010. Just download the program app to register.
When I got my iPhone 3G in 2008, I hunted everywhere for the universal dock adapter, finding it nowhere on Apple Singapore or at resellers. I only found one a year later in Taiwan at an authorised reseller.
Bought the SwitchEasy Nude for iPhone 4 at VivoCity's Best Denki for S$32. Choices are slim since the iPhone 4 launched under two months ago. This 1mm-thin Lexan polycarbonate shell is so thin I nearly snapped it removing my phone.
This is SingTel's third iPhone launch after the 3G and 3GS, and they finally got it right. Instead of the usual ComCentre, it was at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre Hall F, a huge, fully air-conditioned, proper convention venue.
Ordered my StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition from Amazon on 17th July 2010, arriving 29th July, just a day after launch. Once I heard IAH Games would charge S$109 locally, I cancelled my Software Boutique pre-order.
