Why iPhone

This post might be applicable to those considering buying iphone/smartphone.

There were many debates amongst iOS and Android, but I think iPhone is still a dominated vendor of smart phone before Steve Job past away. Yes, Steve Job is being perceive as a component of the Brand - Apple.

Thanks to Steve Job, Apple changes how people live today, an instant example access information at anywhere anytime, a new hybrid gadget combining lappy and phones. The whole town were flashing their phone, it has become a personal icon to certain extend. Some carry both iPhone and iPad althogether, pretty smart actually. Well this post is about iPhone, so I may cover iPad at my next post.

The question is why using smart phone at the first place? Do you required a smart phone? Does it apply to your lifestyle? Do you need it? "WHY DO U HAVE SO MANY QUESTION? IT'S THE TREND, JUST GRAB IT!! " OK - lah, I'm not an early adopter/gadget's not my priority/ I'm practical consumer - the ulterior motives-MY BUDGET IS LIMITED lah, so I spend what's necessary. WTH, don't ask me why!!! =W=.

Anyways, I'm quite skeptical of those who got themselve an iPhone, do you go for trend to fulfill the vanity desire - Everybody has one, I should get one also, else I'll lose the lime light etc tatata... what's more those who carry iPhone and iPad altogether. hey, study first lah, get something you really need than following the trend and lose your identity by becoming the follower. Just because everyone like Mac, doesn't means you need to get one. Understand yourself, know what you really need, the key word is SPEND WISELY. Afterall, life is yours not others. Flip this note aside, you can consider to make use of the money to go on a trip, see the world example, buy books to sharpen your knowledge, get a SLR for another example to indulge in a hobby etc. NO NEED TO FOLLOW THE TREND!!! So what phone do I use after bragging so much? Nokia 6260.

No offense iPhone/iFamily fan, I just don't like to be a follower. ==ll.

Anyways, yes, as an GILAKAN internet fella - (HA I like this commercial though) (I BLOG, FB, GOOGLE, EMAILS etc), I don't comment inevery damn forum as any anonymous but I do spent a lot of time on internet, plus I am struggling to juggle between work and personal appointments, so the answer to "DO I NEED A SMARTPHONE" "YES, I DO".

What make me headache and undecisive was, should I get iPhone or Samsung? Aiks, Tou Tia (Hokkien lah). After few months of survey HEHE, here is the summary:

Flexibility of OS - Samsung win

Cost of adopting application - Samsung win

Weight of Phone - Samsung Win

Branding and symbolic - iPhone win

Design and look - iPhone win

Battery Life/Day Span - I know iPhone lose out

But I want both!! aiks Tou Tia OH...

Then Samsung Galazxy Note launches!!! gosh I love it, and palm size screen which conducive for my reading habit!! So iPhone4/Samsung Glaxy II/Note. Awwww....Tou Tia AH...

WHAT SHOULD I GO FOR?????????
