I am not interested at all. No unsubscribe option. Do I have to call SingTel specially to request for a delist? I have received numerous SMSes on that. Oh and the customized ringtones? Oh god they are annoying. Why did SingTel even think I would appreciate them changing to some song I never heard before? I just want the lousy default dial tone that is really really boring because it tells so much of my personality. Thank you.
HTC Desire Z is out in Singtelshop.com at SGD548. The price is kinda okay. It’s around the range that I expect. I’m waiting for HTC Desire HD though. I would spend SGD588 on that with a two-year plan.
M1 also carries the HTC Desire Z, you can find it at M1 Shop.
These telephone booths used to be littered all around Singapore till it’s too hard to maintain them. There are still some of these telephone booths around but they are definitely in the decline. This booth is SingTel’s:
I think I took this at Singapore Polytechnic a year ago.

What’s striking asides the scarlet back is the strong focus on integration with social media applications such as Twitter, Facebook and Windows Live Messenger. Now you can stay connected with your pals where ever you are. INQ mobile also added push Gmail and iTunes synchronization recently, a very welcome addition to the already feature-packed phone. INQ also supports multitasking, the change in icon during incoming messages, friend requests and updates is a nice touch.
Here’s Walt Mossberg opinion on the INQ “facebook” phone:
Walt Mossberg & Katherine Boehret about the “facebook phone”
The INQ is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera that’s perfect of capturing candid moments of your friends and share them to Facebook before they can stop you. INQ positions itself as a simple yet feature-rich device to keep you connected to your social circle. The simplicity becomes evident as they chose not to ship a manual and instead have a Help Cards section of their website which guides you on the features of INQ rather than teaches you how to find or use them.
