But even though it had the requisite cool factor with the touch screen (and it’s an Apple product!), there were also problems such as the price, inability to use it locally with our SIM cards unless you unlocked it illegally, it wasn’t a 3G phone, and we can’t buy it in Singapore. Why? Why? Why?

iPhone unpacking

But a week or so ago, Steve Jobs announced the arrival of iPhone 3G, the second-generation iPhone. It is lighter, cheaper and has 3.5G technology which gives it faster internet access! Don’t be too happy too soon though. Singapore is not in the first list of countries to receive the new phone on 11th July (again, why?) :( If we’re lucky, we may only get it at the end of the year!

Actually, is the iPhone really worth all the hype that it’s generating? Or are we Singaporeans just too eager to get our hands on the newest technological toy to play with? I must admit that my eyes will gleam at seeing a new techie toy (yes, I’ll always be one of those squeezing through the crowds at the annual IT shows etc. :D ), and everytime I meet my cousin-in-law, he’ll always have a new phone to show us. So what do you think? Are we slaves to technology?
