Pictures of My iPhone, Finally!

December 4, 2007 – 10:37 pm

I know this post has been a long time coming and to all who have been waiting for it, sorry to have kept you waiting! I received my iPhone a week ago exactly on my birthday, courtesy of Mr. Gary Lee, THE internet marketer, who ran a very successful iPhone sweepstakes sometime in July earlier this year.

I actually got to know of the contest from Phil the Contest Blogger and I thought I would not participate because Mr. Gary Lee wanted links to three different websites (a women’s deals site and a golf equipment site) and a link to the contest page. It’s not that I was stingy with my linking but I was lazy to read the requirements.

Also, Mr. Gary Lee said that blogs with PR0 - 3 would only get one entry into the contest and although I had PR3 for all my blogs back then, I only submitted ONE entry. However, after participating in this iPhone giveaway, I entered some other contests that purportedly gave away iPhones as well which unfortunately turned out to be iPhoney!

Long story short, I was lucky enough to be picked as the winner as you can see from this video that Mr. Gary Lee made, together with his business partner, Ms. Danielle. Thanks so much, guys!

When I received my iPhone package, which travelled half the world to me, I actually took a series of photos because this is what people do in an unboxing ritual. I did not do it when I was unboxing my Nokia E61i so I thought this is the chance for me to get pictures but they turned out like crap no thanks to my E61i for failing me!

I S.O.S.-ed my friend to help me with the photos which he did as you can see here. Two people, four devices. The LG KU990 Viewty, Nokia E61, Nokia E61i and the iPhone. Even with a professional photographer with a REAL camera, the photo did not turn out well.

He decided to mount the flash and still I was not happy with it!

Today, I decided to take new photos with an Olympus that is on loan. I don’t know how to operate it yet so once again the photos turned out badly. I don’t even know how to turn on the flash! lol It’s not camera problem this time but user problem! I did ask the owner to teach me to use it first but he told me to R.T.F.M. (Read The F******* Manual). I just want to tell him that I don’t like to read no f******* manual! JUST SHOW IT TO ME!! ……. but I did download it from the web and WILL have to read it later. Bah!

So here’s my post on my win! Yay! Happy! Happy!! Happy!!! And thanks to Mr. Gary Lee once again! This is the bestest [as if there is such a word] birthday present I ever had! Woooeeeeeeeeeee!!!

P/S: Now I know why it took me so long to write this post. It’s like writing an Oscar speech and I had to make sure that I did not leave anyone out. Not forgetting all the links!

  3. Hi Helen,

    Thanks!!

    I would suggest that you wait for the 3G version of the iPhone which is said to be released next year. The iPhone is great but without 3G support, I can’t use my SIM card.

    My iPhone is unlocked now. It was locked when I received it. A “virgin” phone.

    Me also need 3G leh. I just received SMS from Celcom yesterday informing that my Celcom 3G subscription has been upgraded to 3.6G woooo

    USA is very slow when it comes to 3G technology. Very expensive too. Camera on phone also out-dated. Only 2.0MP while Asia already 5.0MP.
