heya, Okay, Now Listen is currently in the stages of construction.

Our pally Josh is a little busy right now but he'll surely get to it!

Hence the pretty empty look... :)
Okay, now listen… Apple

Nope. No iPhone for me. Thanks Rogers.

June 27th, 2008

This being just a quick follow up to my previous iPhone entry.

With the prices Rogers has got up there, I don’t think the iPhone would make an impact as it did in other countries. Keep in mind taking the $60 plan still doesn’t include our beloved $6.95 access fee, as well as the caller ID needs to be activated extra. Although I admit it still is cheaper than the current data packages they have…

I’ll keep it real and tell you straight up: People won’t go nuts for the iPhone over here, Rogers…

</end frustration>

July 11th, I’ll mark that one on my iCal

June 9th, 2008

Just heard the news about the new 3G iPhone hitting the international market, I’m pretty stoked. Guess all my previous whining and moaning has paid off.  The iPhone officially is going to be plugged by Rogers, and I’ll possibly be hanging around and grab one.

Excited? Possibly a little bit. BUT The fear in me still lingers… Is it actually safe to go with the first gen of the 3G? Am I better off with the Touch? Should I wait or should I run out and get me one hot off the shelf?

I haven’t really gathered much infos on how much I’d have to dish out aside from the cash I’d have to save for the iPhone alone — I can only hope Rogers will go easy on us. ‘Dunno.

At the moment I’ve got a little more “pressing” issues in my life. Such as my wisdom teeth growing vertically and now have to be surgically taken out. Let this be a lesson to all you folks out there. Go to the dentist often. I know I am.

Now they’re groing in a strange way, which is a “growing” concern for me. Having been told what kind of side effects have if I’d have to leave the tooth/teeth in there versus taking it/them out. I’ve got more on my hands to think about other than the iPhone.

iPhone to hit Mexico? When can we in the T-dot (officially) get one?

March 31st, 2008

After going through my feeds, I stumble upon a post on 9to5mac… Yes sir, iPhone apparently is coming to Mexico.

Okay, when the iPhone went European, I told myself “it’s alright… good, when we finally get the iPhone, we won’t be having as many bugs as the first gens.” When it continued moving deeper into Europe, I still kept up my shaky wall of denial. Now that it’s reaching the Mexican market my hope is starting to dwindle and I don’t think we’ll be seeing the iPhone anytime soon over here.

Seeing that Rogers will be supplier of the phone, I have the feeling that its data package is going to burn a hole right through my pocket and singe my leg and/or butt cheek.

iPhone now in Austria?

March 15th, 2008

Yep, that’s right… iPhone has made it’s way further into the heart of Europe. At the same time we only have rumors upon rumors when it will (officially) hit Canadian shelves.

The odd part is I grew up in Vienna and I can’t say I’m not envious of a few folks over there. Having old friends who are eying to grab one and me over here in the T-dot, still iPhone-less. Catch this — They don’t have an official Apple Store there. Although from what I’ve been told there are plans of one being made…

Hell ya I admit, I also was glued to my screen on the day the phone was unveiled during the keynote, fogging up the anti-glare on my monitor.

Well, until that faithful day it arrives up here - I shall be waiting…

But for how long?
