  Nope, I haven't. YouTube is firewalled at my place of work, so I'll look for and watch the video at home later.
  
  Actually, the lack of a replaceable battery and upgradeable memory aren't really issues at all, given that a more advanced version of the iPhone would probably be on the market at a lower price by the time the battery in your first-gen iPhone needs replacement.

  well, since i'm getting an iPod soon, and have no use for all the fancy stuff in the iPhone, i'll get a replacement for my phone if it dies on me...
  
  and it'll probably be another razr...
  
  if the phone lasts until then, maybe i'll get the iPhone

  Oh, and another reason that early adopters might balk at snatching up an iPhone post-haste: currently, the iPhone only works with AT&T's cellular network, and their customer service has been universally panned as being the worst amongst the major cellular providers in this country.
  
  I had them once. Never again.

  ahahahah!
  
  even in Singapore, i've heard about them
  
  wonder if Apple will open it up to other systems as i heard there's no 3G in it... we're currently 3.5G or something like that

  shall we dance?
  on a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
  shall we dance?
  shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye?
  or perchance
  when the last little star has left the sky
  shall we still be together
  with are arms around each other
  and shall you be my new romance?
  on the clear understanding
  that this kind of thing can happen
  shall we dance?
  shall we dance?
  shall we dance?

  Not too well with just the fan. You've just reminded me to remind the SO to go clean/wipe the aircon a bit, coz we haven't turned it on since last year!
  
  I've been wanting to turn it on, but SO kept forgetting to wipe it...and we don't want all the dust to blown onto our faces! How we've suffered the humidity and heat for so long.
  
  Wonder if the cats will complain tonight if we close our bedroom door to keep the cool air in. No more snuggling with warm bodies for them!
