Google Nexus One! :)
Jan 17th
Nexus One
Cool phone yeah? I seemed to be really mesmerized by this uber cool phone! Plus, its from Google, HTC, and the OS in it is powered by the latest version of Android! 
The whole phone from the exterior design, its thin, sleek with cool curve edge that makes the whole phone really wow-ed itself. The Nexus One has a trackball just below those buttons that should feel very familiar to Hero users.
Wow! so its time for me to purchase one right? haha!
GoogleNexusOne Webpage!
Although it has many complains by users, which has been highlighted by people:
Google has come under fire since the launch of the Nexus One after hundreds of messages were posted with complaints or questions about the phone. Many customers said that after calling T-Mobile they were referred to HTC, the phone’s maker, or the reverse. Google does not have a customer-service phone line, and customers sending e-mails were being told to wait one or two days for a reply.
In response to queries from people having problems ordering, Google also posted a message saying that it has had a problem with orders from some countries. More than 450 messages in one topic describe how some customers have ordered the phone but even after days have not received a confirmation of their order. “Our system choked on a certain number of Singapore and Hong Kong addresses and they’ve been held until we could fix the issue. We’ve worked these kinks out and things should be smoother from now on,” wrote Google employee “Ry Guy” in response to those queries.
Google also acknowledged an issue that some people say they have with their phone maintaining a 3G connection. While T-Mobile has already said it is looking into the issue, Google late on Thursday posted to the forum that it is investigating the issue. “Also, just definitely be aware that if this issue can be solved by a software fix it will be addressed on an over-the-air systems update. If we find this is the result of a hardware issue, it’ll be covered by the Nexus One Warranty,” Google employee Ravi wrote.

“We know that Singaporeans have been through a lot this year, and we want them to enjoy the Countdown. We want spread a message of hope for a better year ahead. We have decided to keep this year’s countdown concert free, so that Singaporeans can enjoy a night of quality entertainment and bring along with them their family and friends without having to worry about ticketing fees” said Er. Lee Bee Wah, Member of Parliament for Ang Mo Kio GRC and Advisor to Nee Soon South Grassroots Organisations.
The event aims to deliver a message of Hope, a notion that resonates with Singaporeans can relate to because of the improving economy and H1N1 situation over the year.
The Concert will take on a ‘made-in-Singapore’ concept and will feature the best of Singapore’s talents. Audiences can expect familiar local artistes that will join them as they enter into 2010 together.

OMG! i think most of you should have know that Singapore just got case of H1N1 SWINE FLU!
The Ministry of Health confirmed a 22 years old Singaporean woman who returned from New York by the plane of SQ25 has tested positive for swine flu ( influenza A ( H1N1 ) ) .
The woman was in New York from 14 of May to 24 of May. At the point of the time,she has developed a cough.
She passed the thermal scanner at the airport because she was not having a fever.
She did consulted the doctor later and was directed to a hospital that handles suspected swine flu cases.The patient is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Center at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and is in stable condition
The Ministry Of Health asked all medical practitioners and health care institutions to keep vigilant to suspect cases, adding that Singapore will continue with temperature screening for passengers entering Singapore.
this is like super dangerous. we seem to be too complacent, and ignore all kinds of danger, i think after this, i would really maintain even higher standards of personal hygiene.
Just to a note:
ALERT LEVELS
WHO ALERT PHASE: 5
Widespread human infection
MOH ALERT SYSTEM: YELLOW
Risk of import into Singapore elevated. Isolated imported cases may occur but there is no sustained transmission.
