Cheryl Goh the inconsistent blogger

Thank you for making BarCampJB a huge success!

Thank you to our sponsors for contributing generously to an effort which has such a positive and profound effect on the community without expecting anything in return. We hope that you will continue to support BarCamp and similar endeavors with the graciousness you have shown at BarCampJB.

Thank you to all the volunteers especially those from Johor who contributed your time and effort to make this event possible without ever experiencing what a BarCamp is like. Your faith in this community effort is a starting point for many more great things to come in JB and I am sure you will glow with self satisfaction knowing that YOU made this all possible.

Thank you to our speakers who came to share with NO personal agenda. This is the very heart of every BarCamp and we thank you for sharing and not selling to us. Thank you for taking time off your weekend, thank you for travelling from KL, Singapore and Vietnam to share with us, and thank you for engaging the participants in open discussion. Please continue to share and encourage others to do the same with the same generous spirit you have shown us.

Thank you to the participants for coming and being part of the entire experience. Please remember that there are no tourists at BarCamp – you came to participate and I am sure most of you grew by doing so. Please help spread the word, volunteer for our upcoming events and stand up and speak.

We are already talking about the next BarCampJB so please join our facebook group and volunteer. I promise that the experience is worth all.

Pictures of the BarCampJB Iphone 3g

So you must have heard by now about that FREE Iphone 3g which we will be giving away to one lucky blogger who provides the best coverage of BarCampJB. Do note that points are also given to any pre BarCampJB promotions to attract more people to the event so start blogging now!

I decided to take some pictures of the phone. This pre loved, white, 16gb, US (locked) version Iphone 3g is in great condition and was purchased directly from the US. You will need to use Turbo Sim to unlock the US version Iphone 3g. You should be able to get a turbo sim by browsing the lowyat.net forums

There are some scratches on the Apple logo, which is common.

There are no visible dents or scratches on the four corners.

The phone comes in its original box with a US charger and is given as is.

Disclaimer:
By taking part in this competition you must agree not to hold anyone liable if the Iphone 3g fails to work as expected or is not compatible with your cellular network and no return or exchange of this or any other prize will be entertained.

Win a Iphone 3g at BarCampJB

I got my Iphone 3G about a month ago and since then on a daily basis someone will ask me about the phone – questions range from “how much is it?”, “does the GPS work in Malaysia?” to “does the phone work on all cellular networks?”.

Cheryl loves her Iphone 3g

I would recommend the phone to everyone because of its wonderful interface, its superb touch screen and the hundreds of apps which you can install unto the phone. I am in love with my Iphone 3G because it keeps me occupied in so many ways and I cannot imagine using any other phone. I love it so much I have 2 Iphone 3gs, NOT!

What can be better than 1 Iphone 3g? 2 of course!

Actually the extra Iphone 3g I hold in my hand has been generously donated by Ganesh Kumar Bangah and will be given to the best blogger of BarCampJB. As some of you may know I won the Nokia E90 Communicator sponsored by Nokia at the last BarCamp Malaysia and it was not as hard as some would imagine and took only several hours of effort in total.

So if you’ve been eyeing the Iphone 3g, this is could be your chance to snag one for zero cost!
