QUOTE(Erny Errol @ Jun 15 2011, 03:51 PM) Hi, would like to know whether it is safe to stay in Kallang area, especially that my job requires me to go home late? In general, singapore is a rather safe country, wherever you go. If your worried about going home late, then just take a taxi straight home since your likely to get mugged along a dark walkway rather then in the brightly lit common corridor or lift entrance.Thanks. |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jun 20 2011, 09:58 AM) eh, if u in KL same thing also what. 25-30 years loan to buy rm400k condo. Since its a global recession like 2008-2009 since the corrective measure in banking hasnt been fixed yet, europe is still debating on clearing the debts of greece and spain, portugal, ireland and italy are still saddled with debt. The US economy doest show signs of improvement either and looks like to gonna have another collapse. Your estimate is the calculated recession that occurs every 10 years but 2012's recession is due to 2009's after effects.too early imo. recession/property bubble burst should be only sometime second half of the decade. which leaves plenty of time for me to save, get PR/citizenship, then wait for prices to drop before buying |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jun 20 2011, 03:18 PM) my estimate isn't based on any financial or actual real world data, it's more of a 'hope' based on the time it'll take me to settle down, PR, and save up enough $$ to downpayment housing when it drops in price lol. Easy, greece will default their country to china.offtopic. greece mang, debt 150% of gdp and 20%+ borrowing costs, how on earth they gonna survive without triggering some sort of default on their debt is beyond me. I prefer the philosopher Mick jagger once said "You cant always get what you want, but if you try some time you might find you get what you need".

Anybody know if FDW's are exempted from MOM laws cause it seems that not having a day off in one week is standard practice.

QUOTE(Materazzi @ Jun 24 2011, 10:43 AM) not planning to marry bro? Both android and iphone battery life can be extended but you need to jailbreak both platforms. But android has finer power management tweaks which allow superior battery life, i cracked my andriod work phone and i now get around 2 days worth of usage even with listening to music, surfing and making calls. You can never get that kind of battery performance from a jail broken iphone.Added on June 24, 2011, 10:44 am I like android, it's cheaper, but the battery don't last for 1 day But bear in mind my phone has a rather large battery for its size. Getting good battery life on the andriod platforms depends on the customized rom and the phone device. Generally cortex processor are more efficient then its snapdragon equivalent. |

QUOTE(seantang @ Jun 24 2011, 10:49 PM) Android phones are not "jailed" in the first place. App developers can produce whatever the heck apps they want. Loads of free apps too. Most free apps are practically the same as paid versions due to the advertising. Seantang is correct since eventhough the android platform is supposed to be open, they do not allow root or "SU" = super user access to the OS. So there are some apps which have not gone through the android markets evaluation process or require root access like certain backup utilities, overclocking your phones processor and tweaking certain system settings which are not available by default.Having said that, you can "root" the phone to gain access to developer or manufacturer options. For instance, I am considering rooting the Tab in order to manually control the clock speed of the processor. Some amazon apps on amazons app store for instance require root access to function. Better not OC a snapdragon processor since you dont get bang for your buck unlike a cortex which i am running. Added on June 25, 2011, 9:12 am QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Jun 24 2011, 10:41 PM) There are "cracked" software which are basically unofficial apps of paid apps available in the android market. Similiar to a jaibroken iphone store like cydia.Added on June 25, 2011, 9:18 am QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Jun 25 2011, 06:53 AM) now i am using my company issued bb, which is hardly any good for surfing net.. i am also using a company issued laptop and they block certain sites like lyn during work... that's why i want another phone so can curi tulang and surf net XD Why dont you request your company for a different company phone? Unless your company is locked into a corporate BB contract.ohhh, so you meam someone like me with no contract is always better to get the contract and disc phone right? only when you have a line and wanna consider changing phone then only outright purchase? internet phone package with data plan got call plan as well? ohhh... like that ar, good idea... lol got plan for call and data but no phone 1 ar? which 1 better er? i ask the samsung promoter in vivo, they seemed so blur This post has been edited by crapp0: Jun 25 2011, 09:18 AM |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jun 25 2011, 09:23 AM) if any of you have friends working in stanchart, get them to apply the singtel iphone plan for you. it's $34/mth for free incoming, 500outgoing mins, 12gig data, 500sms, 2 year contract & iP4 32gb free. each staff can apply 3 lines/phones. Most probably due to singtel agreement with iphone for bulk orders, the wholesale price that their charging singtel is way cheaper then whats on the apple store. i dunno how singtel makes any money off this seeing as the iP4 32gb is $1k+ off the apple store ($34x24 = $816). If im not mistaken the actual production cost including covering the cost of manpower as well brings the iphone price to USD188. Now you know why apple was 2nd in earnings in the US behind exxonmobil since the profit margins are huge, not including the killing they make on the app store where a third of a developers revenue goes into apples pocket.

QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Jun 25 2011, 11:13 AM) corp bb contract lor, and IT dept's policy is blackberry for the push emails... gotta reply bosses all the time... average bill around sgd 400-500 But hey, at least your not footing the 400-500 dollar bill. Alot of big corps like BB due to push-email service, better security policying due to BES and the ability to control certain aspects of BB devices which you cant do on the iphone platform.i mentioned last time before, but the downside is any problem you gotta talk to the corp sales rep/support... you cant just call singtel lor... my stupid cousin dont wanna apply for me At least you have functioning internet services when your working, i best i have is the occasional usage of a sat phone since some areas i goto have no cell coverage in that particular country. Added on June 25, 2011, 9:52 pm QUOTE(Jurlique @ Jun 25 2011, 01:57 PM) How bout this Singtel plan? Nice. The phone is more powerful then the current iphone but the lure of the iphone is its platform and user experience, not the hardware specs which is the direct opposite of androids concept but that gonna change in time.![]() Monthly fee at $95 and SGSII at $0.00 Free 500 mins per mth Free 500 sms per mth Free 12GB plan per mth I do some calculations. $95 x 24 mths = $2280 $2280 - free handset of $800 = $1480 $1480 / 24 mths = $62 per mth (which I think is a pretty standard cost for using a data plan in SG) I think it is still very very much better than Maxis, DiGi or Celcom plans in Malaysia?? Correct me if I am wrong. What do you think guys? This post has been edited by crapp0: Jun 25 2011, 09:52 PM |
