Yes, it still can be ON…. that mean I still can used it to take photos. These are the results from the phone. I think it is about 1-2% battery left. Not bad at all right?

Since I have nothing better to do while waiting,  I decided to snap my own pictures too as a remembrance that I have been to the KLCC Maxis centre.

When reaching my que number I was given a termination letter as a proof  that I have returned the modem. Then I moved to the room specially for pick up the pre-booking BlackBerry phone. I signed the contract form and here I am with the BlackBerry. I took the RM 30 for the Maxis line plus RM 120 for internet unlimited usage. I can downgrade or terminated it anytime I want with no yearly fixed contract. For this package the BlackBerry cost me RM 1.1xx K

[24th September, 2009] – she said “The day has come. Soon I will own my very own Blackberry. *BIG SMILE*” From the comments of her readers feedback, the price of the phone range from RM 699 – RM 1999.99! So which one is correct?

[27th September, 2009] – she said, “Anyway, I figured by now the price for Curve 8520 should be out two days ago, since I’ve been traveling for the past few days, I was wondering if anyone found out the price for the phone already. Ermm…“

From her posts in facebook,

27th September, 2009 – “I miss having a blackberry. And I never own a blackberry before! Oh btw. Blackberry Curve 8520 has already been revealed two days ago! I’m in Cha-Am so I can’t keep track of it! Does anyone know what is the price for the New Blackberry Curve 8520 yet? I’m in Cha-Am, Thailand. Can’t wait to find out the price.“

As her reader in The Star newspaper, her facebook, her blog (once a while)   I decided to do her a  favour. I just try my best to find if I can help her with this information.  For days I have browsed through the newspaper, finally I managed to dig out this article. I took a snap shot of it. Back home, I uploaded to my facebook and tag her.

As I read the article, RM 699? Hmm.. consider cheap. I followed the link to Maxis website and I placed an online booking. Any other hidden charges by Maxis? I don’t know. After finished with the registration, a message displayed that Maxis will contact me when the phone is available.

Later while preparing this blog, I saw Nicole  online in facebook. Yes! She is back to Malaysia now but she did not mention anything about it. Didn’t she saw the picture I have uploaded?  I wondered… so I decided to chat her up.

4:13am Stephen: I have posted the blackberry information for you to take a look. With RM 699 you can get the phone now.
4:13am Nicole: O.. really. so cheap? How come?
4:13am Stephen: Look at the picture in your album. Information is there. So do you like the information? I have took days to find it…. finally I got this one. I don’t know if Maxis have any hidden thing behind? But I have made one reservation for myself.. ha! ha!

She did not response. Maybe busy updating her blogs of her recent trip to Bangkok, Thailand. Well… anyway, what important is, I finally finished blogging about this Blackberry Curve 8520 phone.
