The iPhone 3G is debuting in the Philippines tomorrow. And it is NOT $200.

What a buzzkill. To paraphrase the Conchords, "That's too many 0s- that's ridiculous!" I don't want it anymore!

For 43,799 pesos, I could:

• get a laptop with great specs
  
• travel
  
• invest in time deposit/stocks/bonds/mutual funds
  
• become an entrepreneur
  
• rent and furnish an

P43,799 could probably buy me half a plane ticket to Canada.

Seriously though, I was sooo pissed yesterday when I went to Smart and they didn't have the Sony Ericsson (W660i) I finally decided to go with. A three week waiting period is too long. Argh.

Check out this website, I love how detailed the critiques are of each phone. It's not full of press release bullshit, they list the major advantages and disadvantages of each phone. It's very useful: http://www.gsmarena.com/

And yeah, they had some funny snide comments about the new iPhone: "it has no memory slot, and knowing Apple there will never be one." MWAHAHAHAHA. Does anyone remember the old candy colored iMac? *evil grin*

Nice! That phone is actually on my shortlist The items on my shortlist are devices that can replace my ancient phone + lost iPod nano. :P . One of my officemates has one, and it's inexpensive, has ample features, and looks great - I want it in red! I even went as far inquiring at a Sony Ericsson outlet, but apparently it's been "phased out" months ago.

There's always http://www.cgena.com and http://tipidcp.com though ;)
