Berry Berry Bold !

Today is Valentine's and Chinese New Year's eve. Guess what I've been doing the whole day ? Well, I woke up early in the morning and stucked in front of my tiny laptop screen, at the same time thinking of how the hell am I going to spend my lonely Valentines day. Yes, I admit that I have no life, I've started to live in a "dissapointed" world after some bad things experienced by me couple of years back. So in order to keep a gadget freak like myself happy today, I went to the nearest Maxis center to see if they have any Chinese New Year promotions.

To my surprise, I found the latest Blackberry BOLD Onyx 9700 on their display area ! And they're selling the phone + 1 Year Unlimited B.I.S. (Blackberry Internet Service) at RM 2,459 only ! It's a bargain because the normal rate for Unlimited B.I.S. package is RM 120 per month ! You guys do the math. Heck, so why not ? I quickly jumped into the queue and here's my 9700 BOLD !

One more thing, you can don't apply B.I.S. and  just pay RM 2,099 for the phone itself. But let me remind you, a Blackberry without Blackberry Internet Service is just like making love without reaching climax ! How do you feel ?! There are many functions that you can't fully utilize if you don't get the B.I.S. package. Click here to find out more about the B.I.S. package that Maxis is currently offering.

  1. Yes, it's provided by Maxis. Normal rate is RM 120 per month, but if you purchase BOLD 9700 from them, you only need to pay RM 360 for 1 year unlimited subscription to their BIS.
