An iphone 3G mailer sent specially to Richard

He is crazy about handphone. He has been looking for handphone this time round again since his contract with his service provider is ending soon. As normal, he is tired of LG KS20 Fashion Pocket PC (http://www.peaceinspire.com/2008/03/23/mobile-phone-lg-ks20-review/) which I had bought for him. Sad to know, he did not seem to treasure it at all!

Everyday, his heart is with iPhone or its comparable. Which phone should I buy? This question has been on my mind since Google launched it’s first phone, Nexus One, on 5th Jan 2010. He wrote this on his blog RichardToh.com. He also wrote about Apple which is expected to launch the new iPhone 4G in April/May 2010. He just never fails to update himself with the latest news about iphone!

In fact, he loves Nexus One, but with the wide range of handphone models in the market, he could not make up his mind which handphone to buy. First he bought iPod Touch, which is very similar to iPhone. He went iphone accessories and start looking for iphone case to protect his iPod Touch. The iPod Touch is exactly like iPhone. The only thing is the iPod Touch do not have any phone function. Because of this, I think he would rather try something new. Just a few days ago, I accompanied him to the handphone shop again. He could not wait any longer for a new handphone for a New Year. He wanted to buy HTC Hero, but there was no stock in the shop. He said he was not destined to have that phone. Since he was at the shop already, and had waited so long for his turn to be served (it was long queue at the shop), he decided to settle for a handphone. That was the second time we had gone back to the shop for two consecutive days. On other days, he would drop by the shop and look at different models of handphone as well.

Samsung Galaxy Spica Handphone GT-15700

No need for iphone dock or any other iphone accessories already. He decided to buy Samsung Galaxy — his new ‘toy’. The photograph below shows the iPod Touch and Samsung Galaxy Spica Handphone GT-15700. Both of them look similar.

I would never want to buy such kind of handphone even though they are very popular. When looking for handphone, I just want to buy something simple and easy to use for the purpose of making phone calls and taking photographs. I do not like to have complicated handphone with multiple function like surfing the website or other applications… shall elaborate more if there is a need.
