I actually took an effort to email WhatsApp Inc to check if there’s any way we in Singapore can actually purchase the software. Tadah, here we have an update!

I was told that they’re now running a beta for a new version of the app. It will be out for the public real soon! And, regardless of where you are, you can buy it as long as you have a Paypal account! (Okay, you can borrow a friend’s.)

How will the new version work?

You will soon be able to download WhatsApp over-the-air (OTA) through their website. The software will be a 48hour trial and after it ends, you will not be able to connect to their servers anymore.

To purchase it, you can get through the menu and you’ll be brought link inside the program that will direct to PayPal and you’ll be done in seconds. After payment, immediately the program will tell you that your ‘license’ has been extended.

Thus, If you do not buy it, you will not be able to use it since the new program now records your purchase with your registered mobile number.

My thoughts

Downloading the whole application was fast with no errors (on their side). Was able to get WhatsApp working smoothly. (I’ve already started chatting with a few friends!)

Will do a review soon!

The picture above tells you the total cost of an iPhone after 24 months contract, excluding hidden charges and accessories!

I think it’s clear enough and I shalln’t write anymore.

Engadget also has something similar.

Now, will you still buy it (it’s only available in the states now)?

According to Engadget, Apple has confirmed the release date for iPhone. [..]

As usual, Apple releases their products on Tuesdays; 29th June is another Tuesday.

I want my iPhone!I haven’t got a new phone for quite some time already. But I must think twice before I buy that phone. The DRM in it, the price that I’m going to pay, the bugs that I will face. Heh. Till then.
