"Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action."-Peter Drucker

I first used a cellphone in 1992. If ~~old~~ more mature bloggers will remember, those were the ones which you can liken to "Combat" days when you sling like a messenger bag and you don't really speak but more like provide coordinate information. What's best is that it is just free if you subscribe to an Easycall pager.

My next cellphone was in 1993 with Mobiline - an Audiovox which on the 2nd day I dropped and for months its LCD was creeping from the sides to the middle and it took a lot of guts for me to tell Mobiline that I lost it and to ask for a replacement. My number then 0912-5282601, which was also my number when I moved to Globe Telecom, except for the prefix numbers.

Then I moved to Globe, tried and got tired of an Extelcom, had a Smart, a Sun sim, and on our 2nd day in Canada - a Rogers cellphone. So it's been a long relationship to communication devices that makes me almost attached to it that I carry a phone even while taking a bath. :)

So on July 11, which is tomorrow, the whole communication world will experience the first reincarnation of do-it-all cellphones - one that can be used for practically everything (except for video taking and 1 or 2 more).

Presenting the IPhone 3G.

********

Although I'm not lining up to get one, not even to break the record to have the longest wait for anything :)

This guy stayed in the Philippines, where he may have gotten the cellphone bug from the Philippines, a known cellphone-loving country where there are close to 40 million subscribers just between Globe (15 million) and Smart (25 million), that's half of the population of a country considered to be one of the poorest economically in the world.

And if you're doing it, I mean lining up for an Iphone 3G, please don't wear a suit. :)

*********

I can't imagine what will be the next set of phones? Will it be able to save the world?

Latebreaker:

Rogers Canada caves in with a 6GB plan for Iphone 3G for $30/monthly. Sweet.
