Ipoh So Pathetic Lah!

Last evening I was shopping in Greentown Mall. If you are from Ipoh, you will know that the place is full of stalls that sell, trade and repair mobile phones. And guess what? One of the stalls, actually, most of them are owned by only a couple of bosses and they set up all the smaller stalls to grab business. Well, one of them had a couple of iPhones on display.

Out of curiosity, I asked the sales girl, how much they are selling the iPhone and she said RM1,999. OMG, at today's currency exchange rate according to Xe.com, it is USD614.569!!! Can you believe it? So, I asked her how many GB it has and she said 8GB. Oh, OK... is it unlocked? She replied that it is already unlocked and can use with any of our local SIM cards.

HHmm 8GB iPhones are last year's model. Since then, we have the 16GB model and the 3G capable iPhone is rumoured to be announced during the week of 9th June, 2008. That's just ten days away. The price point is rumoured to be USD399. Such a vast difference from the USD614.569 8GB iPhone!

I wonder which Ah Beng will buy it to look cool. By the way, my friend, who is not from Ipoh keeps telling me that Ipoh has many Ah Bengs and Ah Lians. Where got? I never see also. Maybe I am one of the Ah Lians, that's why I don’t notice the difference between a non Ah Beng/Ah Lian from one. Hehehe!
