I feel like a gong.
Dang.

Well..
I decided to sign up with a new line with Starhub.
Coz, it will be much easier for me instead of keeping to top it up my prepaid card.
And when the credit is low, others can't call me. I can't even reply their messages.
It's so troublesome.

My mindset was on a new line plan. The phone was secondary.
Well. Actually the phone i choose will be a bonus.
heh heh.
I decided to get Samsung i450 with my new Starhub Plan.
So I went over one of this shop at Bedok Interchange.
I decided to sign up with Starhub but I was told that Samsung was out of stock.
Even the F330 was out of stock.

Instead, the man introduce me to Sony Ericcson w910i.

The phone looks cool. Signing up with the contract, cost me $98 not including the cost of the SIM card.
The price doesn't really pull me in, so I went over to another shop.





This time , the shop offer $48 for the contract for Samsung i450.
I decided to buy from that shop. But it was so crowded. I can't really wait(i do not know yet whether the phone is in stock), so i loiter around the area.
This time, I saw another handphone shop.
I went in, and ask her(the salesperson) whether They have the Samsung phone in stock.
She said they do, and that's the moment I make the biggest mistake in my life.
To cut the story short, wat I thought in the first place they offer me $48 of the phone plus the plan and not included the SIM card cost was actually $248. If it include the SIM card, cost me around $288!
I can't back out coz I have already sign the contract. I intend to go to another shop but I was too late.
The salesperson keep changing her words making me confuse.
I insist I'm not buying the phone, and I tell her the budget I have, which is lower than I actually have in possession. I ask her for Samsung F330, but she told me , they are not available.
Instead, she offer me a Sony Ericsson phone. Well I thought to myself, "Not Bad. Sony phone.I take it then." She offer the w880i.

Well. I have heard before that there is a Sony Ericcson model which is not to many liking. I can't remember which it is. I have told myself I'm not getting that kind of phone. When I finally realise it, it was this model w880i what I have heard stories and reviews before about this phone. Instead of avoiding it, I'm the one who is in possession of this phone. Nehmind.
Well she offer me a price less than $200. I decided to take it then.
But when I think back, I should take the w910i in the first place at the first shop I stop at. It is better than w880i. Don't you think so?

I need some reviews or comments about this two phones.
Any users of these two phones who would like to share your reviews about these two phones can share with me and us.

Back to my story, one of the cocked up thing the salesgirl told me is, I can't sign up for Powervalue 100 Student Plan which is only allowed to below 18 subscribers. However, I was told by the Starhub Customer Service Officer that NSF also were allowed to sign up for this plan.
I was not allowed to at that shop!
I only get the normal free 500 sms/mms and 100 free outgoing calls.
I was told by the officer to send in fax of my particulars. I'm going to do it asap.
This is money, mate! They are going to check whether I'm getting the right plan.
Damn freak sales personnel.
My mistake too in the first place for not really checking.
DAMMIT!

Which is the better phone?
W910i or w880i?
Any reviews or comments?

Happy Surfing!
