Gone to the black side
After pre-ordering a week ago, then calling and getting hung up by SingTel, then surviving another customer service officer (“huh? pre-order? you mean you ordered online?” sheesh.), getting transferred to the promotion department and bargaining my way through to my $150 voucher, and surviving yet another “huh? pre-order? you ordered online?” CSO at the hello shop itself, I finally got my Blackberry!
And the price i got it?
An unbelievable $48.
Well that’s cos my line with SingTel had actually expired and I got myself a $150 recontract voucher, + an additional 100 from subscribing to BIS for 12 months. That’s a total discount of $250 off the $298 handset price (iTwo Value plan). Awesomeness!
Goodbyeeeeee Nokia E71!
The BB 9700 is lighter than the E71!
I’m now a die hard fan of Blackberry! This thing has won me over like how my darling MBP had. *caresses both sleek gadgets* Fast, responsive.
And very amazingly, after my lucky boyfriend tinkered around with it, my BIS got activated! On the same day I bought the handset, when it usually takes up to 3 days. Hohoho! Must be the Christmas season.
After reading some reviews, I’ve decided to go to Digiskin tomorrow at The Cathay to skin it rather than choosing the popular GMask option. Let’s hope it turns out gorgeous and uh….. not so pixelated.
This is my desired skin. : )

On a very happy side note, I finally got the blue dye from an anonymous source (THANK YOU!!!) and I’m gonna go back to the salon to get it done!
I really hope it turns out great, or else I’ll really smack myself. Busy as hell till I fly for Japan. Woohoo! I think the boyfriend’s an extremely awesome trip planner. Wouldn’t have wanted to go there without him. Falalalala, lalalala!
