The Easiest Ways to Disable Data on your iPhone 3G / 3GS

This is for those poor souls who got served a 200SGD bill from Singtel because they didn’t read my article on the dangers of getting an iPhone without a data plan or read it way too late. To disable data on your iPhone if you don’t have a data plan, the easiest way is to […]

Why people should stop whining about getting their apps rejected from the App Store

Great article by Applematters on just why people should just stop whining about having apps like Mail and iTunes alternatives rejected from the iPhone App Store. If you want to complain so much, let me offer you some alternative platforms, the darkside platform called Windows Mobile, the only-just-recently-caught-on-despite-so-many-years-of-development Symbian platform, and the we-want-to-be-apple-and-we-hate-microsoft Google Android […]

GadgetDotRed’s Report on Singtel iPhone Launch

Since I’m still too lazy to do a write-up on the Singtel iPhone launch, I’ll just link all of you to GadgetDotRed’s coverage for now.

The Dangers of getting an iPhone without a data plan/pack

So Singtel finally released the iPhone. While they are touting their iFlexi plans, they also had the courtesy to make the iPhone available to new and existing customers with voice-only plans, such as the iOne, iTwo and iThree plans (which I got) and the classic plans. Singtel also kindly “suggested” that customers who opted for […]

iOne Plus + BBoM 1000 plan possible

Which is probably easily the best plan for most people out there. This basically refutes my original argument about them restricting BBoM for iPhone to the ridiculously low data BBoM Plus. The best data plans will a combination of a iOne/iTwo/iThree plan with a BBoM 1000, since it has been proven that the average speeds […]

Anyone interested to go Comcenter tonight to boo the event?

Anyone? Sound out here if interested. Childish, but at least it allows us to vent our frustrations a bit.

Sad days……

Buying an Apple product shouldn’t be this stressful/saddening. I will not be getting the iPhone from $ingtel. Edit: Eventually I did get the iPhone from $ingtel, since it was possible to get the standard BBoM 1000 plan for the iPhone, and my brother was basically pestering me for my Aluminum iPhone.

Singtel’s message to Singapore “Give us your money you freaking idiots”

What the hell is wrong with Singtel? In its FAQ page for the iPhone, they stated that one can buy the iPhone by signing up for a normal voice plan. For data, they referred to the standard Broadband on Mobile (BBoM) plans page. These plans have a cap of 50 GB. However, in another page, […]

As expected, Singtel made official their iPhone plans tonight. You can check out the plans here but they are not too different from what was originally leaked this afternoon. I am going for the iOne plan and will be paying $850 singapore dollars for an originally advertised as USD$299 phone. Then again, if you consider […]
