Following True’s failure to deliver an iPhone 3GS last month, I was expecting to be waiting for at least a couple of weeks before hearing more. But a call this morning advised me I could go and collect my new toy this Sunday; any time from 1000. I reckon 1001 will be a reasonable time.
Then this afternoon I have a collection to make from my drug dealer (the very nice lady at the Polo club who has a kilo of her finest expresso coffee beans waiting for me). I make a few diversions along the way to take some photos. As usual, my iPhone is close by, often nestling between my legs so I can access it at traffic lights to do a bit of surfing or check my mail. Then I get home and discover that there is nothing nestling between my legs (no jokes please). At some point I have jumped out of the car and the phone has jumped with me, and I have left it behind. I am pretty sure I know where I lost it, but by the time I get back to the spot, there is of course no sign. Bugger.
Call DTAC and cancel the number. Go down to DTAC centre and they issue me with a new SIM card (for free, which is good). Change all the passwords for the applications that can be accessed by my phone. Buy a 1,000 baht piece of crap to tide me over till Sunday, and rue the fact that I have just lost several thousand baht’s worth of resale value. And some lucky person is even now beating my high score on Geared.

2009-09-03| Pete saysThe new Iphone3GS probably has a spellcheck feature as well. Pity more people don’t use them.
2009-09-03| Spike saysPity more people don’t realise that allowances need to be made for the fact that not everyone has English as a first language.
2009-09-03| Audemars saysOnce upon a time in KL..a few family members visited me. I was in a rush to pick them up at the airport. As I was going down from my hi-so penthouse condo (now just a memory), I had in my left hand, a bag full of garbage, on my right hand my Sony PSP. Threw the garbage bag into the trash bin at the parking lot as I drove my car out to the airport….when I arrived at the airport…couldn’t find my PSP…looked everywhere in the car. Nothing. Lost a precious piece of my life then as well. Never bought another PSP.
