Drop by Causeway Point (Pet Station) to buy some pee pads for the bois as my existing stock is running low..
Since is “National Day”, crowd is all over at Causeway Point, so after bought the pee pads thought walk to Singtel to take a look at the New Apple “iphone 4” which just launched recently in June’10.
The 4th generation i Phone has an all new look, new feel and plenty of new skill.![gsmarena_014](https://lynntazyyang.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gsmarena_014.jpg?w=300&h=224)

Realized that most of the main disadvantages are simply passed from one generation to the next…
Do also heard of the user reports of reception issues and make me wondering how much of that is true…
I also do check with some friends who are already using i phone4 yet seem fine..
End up, I check with the Customer Service Officer of my existing plan for getting an i phone4, as mentioned if I reserve the 16GB will be at S$0.00 and for 32GB I just need to pay S$60.00.
Think for a while, I decided to reserve 32GB instead since my iphone 3GS is 16GB as for the colour is only “Black”.
As mentioned by the CSO, roughly the stocks will arrive around 2-3 weeks.
Woohoo… There go my “New Toy” soon… Hees… (^^.)
