When I've read about the news that Smart will soon be carrying the iPhone 4s, I believed it was great news! Upon checking its website sometime in early December, I signed up, not to reserve a unit, but just to get some info about the upcoming launch. But 2 days before the launch, I got a call from Smart confirming my reservation. Then I realized, it's probably time for me to get a new iPhone! Well to give a bit of a background, I lost an iPhone 3Gs 32GB some time in June, 2 weeks after I bought it from a friend who sells slightly used phones. Anyway, so there, I confirmed getting an iPhone 4s 16GB white! However, I've been busy at work those days so I failed to submit complete requirements via email. I just decided to go to the launch event to take my chance of getting a unit.
It was on the night of December 15th when Smart invaded Rockwell overnight! A lot of people were there, and there were a lot of them whom I know. There was a smooth process of purchasing an iPhone - ordering, verification of requirements, postpaid line approval, payment and releasing. Well of course, there were long lines because of the great demand for the 4s, but Smart was prepared to serve them all. Lots of celebrities were also there, including Smart's model, Anne Curtis. I don't think any of the guests got bored because there were lots of things that were there to do for FREE! continuous screening of Mission Impossible at the cinema, coffee and juices at Starbucks and Coffee Bean, unlimited gaming at Power Station, meals at Cibo, etc. Also, alcohol was everywhere! At the ground floor was a party event where Jermaine Dupri and Lupe Fiasco performed. The show was hosted by the country's top radio DJs/hosts like KC Montero, Sam YG, Andi9, etc.
It was a crazy night! Unlimited drinks and party! Plus lots of prozes were given away through games and raffle. Some items include, Macbook Air, Beats by Dr. Dre, X-Box, and the grand prize, Subaru Impreza! Despite having lots of possible prizes, I wasn't able to win any. Haha! But it's fine because I still had fun since I got lots of friends and acquaintances who were also there; and that made the night crazier!:)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get an iPhone that night since I didn't bring a credit card with the required credit limit. However, the next day, I brought my grandma to the nearest wireless center and I used her credit card so I could avail of an unlimited data plan for iPhone 4s worth Php 2000 plus Php 2500 cash out! It was awesome! I finally got Siri! And all I can say is, I almost forgot I still have my Blackberry Bold 9700 (in white also). Haha! Well it actually contains my line from the rival network provider.:p
truly, the most amazing iPhone yet!:)
