Sorry Empire, I've moved to the Rebel Alliance

I feel a fire burning in my hands, almost like an excitement I felt once before.... That's right, I've decided to give the Droid camp a go. In some ways, it was by accident really.

When I sold my Storm Trooper 3GS, I had to resort to using a trusty ol'Nokia E52. A great workhorse, exceptionally good to use. Except... it wasn't a touchscreen device. It didn't have a big screen. It didn't have apps I could download freely (ok, I'm not saying OVI isn't decent enough). It made me feel... incomplete almost.

Then, my brother came back from overseas and planted (an inception? =/) into my thoughts. "Why not an Android?". I brushed it of at first, but then the seed grew. "Yeah, why not an Android? Why not....".

All the more my E52 suddenly felt so lacking. And, with the iPhone 4 so difficult to source (no way was I gonna pay obscene prices for local ones), AND, a door opened for a Samsung Galaxy S deal to fall through.... I dived in.

For a day.

Long story. But I was hooked.

Anyway, I'm now an owner of an HTC Desire! Its been a week and a half of spending time with the Rebel Alliance (sorry for the lingo, I'm a Star Wars fanboy). There were times when I felt the force within to stick with the Empire, but no. The decision has been made. I will stick with it.

And, to be honest, I am quite enjoying the life in the android world. I can still do what I used to do on my 3GS, only differently. Facebook is there, Twitter is there, Whatsapp is there (now). I'm reconnected to the world.

Over the next few weeks, I intend to write up a bit on my experience. Stay tuned!

IOS 4 to be released soon!

For those of us who can't get our hands on the new iPhone 4G, perhaps this will tantalize your tastebuds for a while. The new IOS4 for iPhone should be released on 21June (which is TODAY).

Can't wait to try out Folders, Multitasking, better email handling and Home screen wallpapers. The rest, will have to wait till I get my hands on the new iPhone 4G.

The wait begins...

Finally, its coming. Pity the leaks and photos of it prior to the official announcement spoilt it for everyone. Conspiracy or marketing genius strategy, we'll never know.

All I know is, I want one. It will be a good upgrade to Ol'faithful 3GS.

Sure it'll take time to reach us here in Asia, but at least Apple will soon release the IOS4 software first.

2010

Wow, its been a while old friend....

I'm back everyone. Thats if anyone's been reading still.

2010 is a year of refocusing for me. Think its time to narrow my focus down. Instead of being the jack of all trades (or phones), perhaps better to be a master of one (or two).

My current iPhone 3GS is still going strong!

The Force is strong

It has truly been a while since I've last updated my blog. I have been tweaking and customizing my iPhone 3GS to perfection. Since I've last used the previous iPhone 3G here, this 3GS is something else.

Just working on a proper review to post here, but till then, here's a little collection I have.

Loving my Storm Trooper....

Ok here it is! My Storm Trooper Bobble Head. (What did you think it was, a new mobile??). I was in Singapore over the weekend, browsing around with my mate TGIF for a conference. During our free time, we stumbled across this toy shop at Suntec City Mall. Having a secret passion for toys & such (esp star wars and such...), I was thrilled when the shop had all the bits and bobs of all things Star Wars (and tons of other stuff)... but I jumped when I saw this. Hmm, this could be a start of a new collection...

Oh yeah, the pics above were taken with my other Storm Trooper, the iPhone 3G S WHITE. Its finally here too.

Storm Trooper invasion

Finally, my Storm Trooper has arrived. And I love it.

More details soon!
