... I haven't decided if I'm getting the 3G iPhone yet. It's supposed to be released here in Singapore sometime in September.

It really all depends on SingTel's price plan for it (especially the data charges), which they haven't announced. Right now I'm on Starhub, and their per kB rate is actually a bit cheaper than the current SingTel rate for 3G data downloads.

I'm in no amazing hurry. The Nokia N95 8GB does all I want it to (and it has a very nice 5.0 megapixel camera), and if I wanted iPhone apps I've still got my iPod Touch. Let's just say that right now the thing that will tilt my decision one way or another will be just how attractive SingTel makes it for me to want to lock myself into a contract with them. Call it my fear of commitment.

So, you may have heard about this little thing called the iPhone. I know people who are metaphorically (or at least I hope it's metaphorical) creaming their jeans over this one, but I'm one of those who look at it and go... "Nice. Cool, even, but... enhh."

To be honest, I'm more excited about the rollout of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade tomorrow. Outland, baby! Flying mounts, oh yeah! Sexy blood elves (with Mana Tap and Arcane Torrent)! Big blue Punjabi-dancing Draenei! Demons over-running Azeroth for us to beat into little meaty demon chunks! And my level 60 gets to earn XP again!

But more on both later, and why I'm not overly enthused about Apple's latest offering. I need to sleep to get over the jet-lag before I go to work tomorrow.

In the meantime, here's a nice picture of me waiting for the mothership to take me home.
