Well, recently I bought my iPhone and it was definitely one of the best decision I've ever made in my life, its just so beautiful, sexy, slim and gorgeous However, as they say, with great "power" comes geat responsibility, I myself wasn't aware of the powerful curse that the iPhone brought along together with its beauty. Wherever and whenever I went, ranging from shopping malls to university, the iPhone attracts hordes of nerds, Tech Freaks, Geekphiles, Apple fanboys/wannabe's and chicks alike.

These people are not just staring at me using the iPhone but some are even brave enough to approach me just to have a closer look at it. The curse has also turned my friends, relatives and even my own girlfriend!!! into iZombies that always asked me for my permission to play with the phone. Its very hard to say NO to them since they might think that I've become selfish or arrogant after obtaining this new "power".

In order not to attract unnecessary attention, I was force to keep the phone in my pocket all the time, fearing this mindless creatures might drop or spoil my beloved precious. Its really hard trying not to make calls or sms especially during in the cafe or class fearing my life could be in danger.

Ok end of story This thread purpose is to discuss how do you handle the pressure or heat after obtaining the iPhone. Or how do you say no to friends who wants to fiddle with your precious.

My preciouuuuussssss (currently using my iPhone to post while hiding deep in my university library)

Zombies in the forum tooo??!!! Holy shi- seems like the disease has spread into t3h internetz.

post a picture of your iphone here, please...

It is better to stay low profile in public areas to have a sense of security. If it was me, I would not dare to sms while walking in KL downtown.
This the price you pay for owning a PRECIOUS in Malaysia.

cheh , i tot wht.

poor soul.. let me share the burden with you. Let me help you keep the precious.

Good god, I hope to keep this thread clean from unnecessary post (this is NOT kopitiam), now begone and back into the abyss this thread is for those who wanna share or discuss the same issue or dilemma as I am facing now.

Come on. Back to the reason why you brought the IPhone.
Isn't it for "the show"? I am sorry, but i read a lot about IPhone and said that the "show off" is the best part.
What do you have in IPhone that doesn't exist in other gadget? The first answer is the brand name.. the "show off" itself. Probably something else also in second...

Buy such a glittering expensive device and then camouflage it. It is just wasting lah...

Oh.. one good idea.. Camouflage it.. hide it with skin or casing or whatever when you are in daily environment. When going executive places, then show off.. but then those executives will regards us as teenager....
Ohh.. another idea.. show off when you are in teenagers environment....like malls... .well.. see if you have any target for doing this ...

Anyway.. good for you to have the Phone.

a lot of gals like to caress my iphone sensually.

@nokia2003,
Sad lah Ur friends.... Er.. this thread becoming Kopitiam...

Great story. The iPhone do turn heads but i think, slowly, it is losing it's exclusiveness. I mean, you could easily get an iPhone these days. No big deal. You don't need a special invitation to be able to get one in Malaysia. Money, is the only hindrance. Even so, it is not that pricey, eh? In my class alone, there are 3 iPhone users including myself. I feel pretty... ordinary.

Well i gotten my iPhone not for the sake of showing off, I just love the function, design and the level of agronomics in it. Well I hope it dies off soon enough cause I am really having a hard time saying no to people who wanna fondle my baby =_=||| oh yeah, about the chicks part, its usually girls (coursemates) whom don't usually talk to me but approach me just to have a closer look at the phone. The worst part would be those zombies playing my phone till the battery is half gone zzz
