Okay, it might seem a little bit outdated to be writing about this particular model here, since the introduction of Iphone 3GS in the market, but I will write about it anyway. Why Iphone 3G? Well, it’s the phone I use currently.
My journey with Iphone 3G started this year, around April, if I am not mistaken, I can’t remember the exact date when I bought it. Several phones that have been utilised by me before was Nokia 3310, Nokia 6610, Sony Ericsson K700i and Sony Ericsson W810i. Iphone was not really a love at first sight actually; I wasn’t bothered much with the hype and publicity given to this specific model during its first introduction. For me, that time it was just another product from Apple that comes with an astronomical price tag.
My first encounter with Iphone was when I was queuing in line at McDonald’s, and a customer next to my line was happily using it while queuing up. I was astounded with its bright, large screen, and the flow of the screen is so smooth. It is not the same as Windows handheld mobile touch screen, not even close. But I was just “okay” with it anyway, still not really bothered much and the astonished feeling went away immediately.
Second encounter happened when I was attending a course in Penang, where one of the participants was using it. I took my chance to try it for myself by borrowing it from him during lunch break. The smoothness and responsiveness of its touch screen really amazed me. But that was first generation of Iphone, also known as Iphone 2G. That time I started to have interest in having one of my own.
I do face difficulties buying it at first. It was not about money, it was about the market condition of Iphone 3G at that time, where demand was high but the supply was very low. I am talking about time when maxis was not supplying the Iphone here in Malaysia, officially. Lots of shop in Malaysia gets their supply from Singapore and oversea such as US, Hong Kong, Japan etc... And finally after several hiccups, I managed to have one of my own!
Mine was bought from a shop in Imbi Plaza, and I found out about it from lowyat.net forum. It is a Singtel set, of which the price was astronomically high, but I still bought it anyway. We arranged a meeting in Petaling Jaya for COD, as I was there for a meeting, and during lunch hour I went out with my colleague, Rahmad, and we met up with the seller. I checked it thoroughly and the seller is kind enough to wait patiently for me to do full check up on the iphone before I gave him the money. Damn, I was so happy that day!
And now, 7 months later, I am still happily using it and it serves me well and I am emotionally attached to it already! Iphone is a phone that keeps getting better every single day. It really stands out from others and makes the owner gets special attention without being asked for, LOL.
I am planning to keep using it till the next generation of Iphone is introduced. I will skip Iphone 3GS though, it looks no different from its predecessor, albeit it possesses a little boost in technical specifications.
