iWant.....

I just can't stop reading about it. iWant iPhone!

And this picture just gave me that added boost. I can't explain it, its just a caricature of the Black Eyed Peas but I think it looks pretty sweet. Maybe its the quality of the gorgeous 3.5 inch display.



I think I've made up my mind and I will be getting an iPhone. I was previously contemplating whether to get an iPhone or a Playstation 3.

I'll probably get the iPhone first, then the Playstation 3 later on. Plus I read an article that the iPhone can be used as a remote control for the Playstation 3.



I've spent most of the weekend checking out/comparing prices online, reading articles and blogs. Never owned an APPLE product, so if I get an iPhone, it will be my first. It will be a milestone of sorts.

There have been rumours of the iPhone version 2 which is supposedly going to be released soon. Among the rumours are that of 3G capabilities. Some people have stopped getting stocks based on this. I wonder if it will affect the current prices.

  • 8GB version - RM 1600 - 1800
  • 16GB version - RM 2100 - 2300
Question, are these just rumours or are there any hints of truth in them? Will it a 3G iPhone matter to me? I have never used the 3G camera on my Sony Ericsson K800i for video calls.

With good lighting, the 2 megapixel camera takes some decent photos as well.

I'm not one who switches to a new mobile phone everytime a new one comes out - but in this case, I think I might make an exception. The K800i isn't even 18 months old yet. The last phone I used before the K800i lasted me about - oh, 4 years or so? And it still is in working condition. Only the volume control buttons on the outside are faulty.

But this is the "Jesus Phone" (as some people call it) we're talking about after all!

On the other hand, found some photos online, the limited edition Playstation 3 doesn't look too bad at all. I think it looks much better than the initial photos I had up in the last post.




A boxshot of the MGS4 PS3 bundle. iWant!



I was very close to getting the new Premium Leader Class Transformers Movie Megatron at Toys R Us today because I don't have a Leader Class Movie Megatron.

I don't know what stopped me, but I think it was more along the lines of "I gotta save for the iPhone".

The old one looks like shit, with baby blue and pink on it. Megatron didn't have blue and pink paint in the movie and that was the reason I didn't buy it.

The Premium series are basically the same toys with "metallic" paint and some slight changes.




First Release - Leader Class



New Release - Leader Class (Premium Series)

There's still abit of red on Megatron but that's acceptable. It doesn't look like that shit that was first released about when the movie came out last year.

I also saw the new Premium Optimus Prime with the new head and energy blade (instead of the blaster cannon)



First Release - Leader Class



New Release - Leader Class (Premium Series)

The changes aren't that noticeable for Optimus Prime. You can see the metallic paint on the thigh area, hips and shoulders. He also has a different head and has the sword/blade instead of the cannon.

Of course if one has the time, skill and tools, they can work magic with the old figures too:
