5077003060 3a381f219c Nokia C3 Open for Pre order at Celcom, Launch this Friday

Despite the emergence of high end smartphone from the like of Blackberry iPhone and Android, there is still room for low end smartphone like what Celcom is going to offer beginning this Friday. Nokia C3 touted as the most affordable social network enabled phone by Nokia, and with price around Rm550, obviously this is one of the cheapest phone in the market. To sweeten the deal, Celcom is offering this phone for RM99 for the first 50 customers and RM199 for the next 50 customers. A great way to attract the crowd, right?

The Story of Apple iPad

5073439694 36d244d30d The Story of Apple iPad

The initial plan is to test and view the CSL Droidpad tablet which was released last Saturday at Lowyat Plaza in KL. But somehow it diverted to something else. The Droidpad tablet is a great tablet with lots of goodies, generous with lots of specification but doesn’t t really impress me and my wife. Just leave that tablet alone this time.

We went upstairs and you can guess what.., we’re start surveying the iPad price. I’ve done that once about 2 months ago, but left empty handed because the price is way too expensive. But last weekend trip to Lowyat plaza is fruitful.  To our surprise, the iPad price is much more cheaper now compared to the price few months back. With RM1.8 k, I can get iPad 16gb Wifi compared to around 2.2 k before. Similarly iPad 16GB 3G/Wifi is now priced at RM2.2K versus almost 3K before. That’s how we fall to Apple trap, once again.

I ‘d like to do unboxing post (I know many people do that), but this iPad has been unboxed right from the shop. Well.. it’s my kid that too excited to play with it all the way back to our home. So, that’s how we end up with iPad. I’m not going to do review here, but I’ll do short post next time, perhaps what’s good and what’s not, comparison with iPod and iPhone and etc.
