iphone craze hit you too?  email this discussion to a friend?

There is currently an iphone craze in singapore. you can call it the second wave, since the first wave happened a while ago when it was first introduced and only one service provider could sell it.

now the second service provider (and third i think) are also allowed to sell it together with their phone subscription packages.

so the island is going crazy again. I heard that the call helplines for those two companies are jam packed and people are being put on hold.

lately, almost every other person i see on the streets is clutching an iphone. even the clerical staff in my office who are not paid highly have one! i am amazed because it carries quite a high monthly subscription even though it is 'free' at point of sale.

what do you think of the iphone craze? did it hit you or your locale?

I really wanted an iPhone for Christmas. It seems like everyone has one. I love how delicate and intricate they look. They are so expensive though. It is a flashy item that's why there is a craze going on. I went to the carrier who provides the iPhone in the United States and they wanted a $500.00 deposit just to open a line of service, on top of the $99.00 for the phone. This is outrageous, but the phone can do so much. I think this craze has hit me and my area!

Yeah the iphone and the i-everything is incredibly popular right now in my area. Their is a growing popularity towards new electronic gadget whether it be a phone or musical device or some new kind of medical equipment that can help to develop new breakthroughs in study. I hope that we can continue to integrate these new technologies into our lives because they really have a massive amount of potential.

yeah they need to contribute more to medical science instead of just entertainment.

Nope, not yet lol
The price of the iphone here is just too expensive for me. I was able to hold one iphone not long ago and I admit I have to tell myself over and over again that I do not need it. So far, I am doing fine. I have a Samsung Omnia and I am pretty happy with it.

I am from Singapore. This iPhone craze with 3 service provider all providing the iPhone will benefit the consumer greatly! I read on the newspaper that M1 is offering a deal that is similar to Singtel in terms of price, but offer 10GB of data! That is 10 times more compared to 1GB! This is great since iPhone is a media phone and user will benefit from 10GB, surfing full webpages on Safari and watching youtube without worrying bursting the data limit.

Personally, I will go for an Android device in the future. I believe Google's services will continue to grow in both the internet and mobile arena. The new Google navigation is a great example how Google aims to grab a slice of the smartphone market.

how much is an iphone in your place. in the philippines, the iphone 3g cost about $1000. so it is not cheap. that for prepaid users, but if your iphone 3g comes with a plan or post paid then it is cheaper but the plan is freaking expensive for you to get that in very low price. so i don't want to buy that or subscribe to the plan just to have that. i don't use iphone that much. and also iphone is not selling here like hotcake like it does in singapore. i guess the singaporeans have more money to shell out than the people here. and also there was some bad consumers reviews about the iphone that they got. like they would return the iphone they have used for a week cause if just died suddenly or some defect or whatever. and so i think that really cause many people not to buy this one.

Hi there, yes, now all 3 service providers will have iphone up for grab. However, the pricing that I saw doesn't really make me feel tempted to get it. I have been waiting for one of the service providers plan for iphone which will be released tomorrow but the pricing, which I had hope will be lesser than the very first service provider, is just $1/$2 away compared to the other 2 service provider and I was looking forward to the camera feature but I saw that the 3GS version was 3MP only. And then again, my budget ain't there so most likely I am not going to get it. The iPhone craze I believe will start again but maybe not as big as previously since now that most of the people here already got one.

Here in Trinidad we have all the latest techno stuff and I'm not sure what exactly the Iphone is anyway. I guess its a new type of phone thing with added features. Lots of people in Trinidad have Blackberry's and other stuff but I've not yet gotten into the iphone thing as yet.

I am with Verizon, and since they don't have the iphone, it hasn't hit me, but if they would ever get it, I just might. I have seen them, and they do have lots of apps on them. I do have th ipod touch, so I know that the iphone is just like it, only the iphone can be used to call on, and the ipod touch, can't. I just upgraded in August this year, so I can't get another phone for 2 years, so I will just have to be satisfied with what I have. It is an LG enVTouch, and it is a good phone, but I am limited to what I can do as far as the internet is concerned, as it doesn't have a flash player in it, so I cna't play games on teh internet with it, but then I reall don't need to anyway. it has a touchscreen and a qwerty keyboard. Since I do live in the United States, the iphone is really a craze here, but now that Verizon has come out with the Motorola Droid, and it is supposed to be similar to the iphone. I am not sure I will ever get that one either. I will just have to wait and see. Take care, and ahppy mylotting. happy

When the Iphone was first introduced here in the states I wanted to twitch so bad. In fact I think I did. The news wouldn't stop talking about it, for at least a month before its release date. In fact days before it was to hit stores, people were camping out outside just to get their hands on it. At the time, the phone itself... for JUST the phone was 600. This DiD NoOT include service, or the Data package that would be required for it.

THe phone craze was so insine. I didn't think that many people would be willing to pay that kind of money just for a phone. I was in a state of total shock. enough to make me want to scream.glare

As far as I know, here in the US at least AT&T Still holds the exclusive rights to the IPhone. I'm glad the craze died down.
