For Sale: Brand New Samsung i450 (50% discount)

Fancy a new Samsung i450 mobile phone?



Retail Price: RM1,399 RM1,500
Your Price: RM700 RM750

This is my review unit that has hardly been used (under 1-hour in total).

Why am I selling it? It was a review unit courtesy of Samsung Malaysia, for the Samsung BlogMob event (12 April - 17 May). Samsung is offering a 50% discount on the phone for everyone that took part. I'm not making anything extra, just spreading the love =)

Did I like the phone? Well, I just didn't have the time to fiddle with it. Truth be told, I didn't fancy it compared to my Nokia 6300. But it may be a gem for YOU. I'm simply growing older, and don't fancy the bells and whistles.

Is this the phone for you? If you love music on-the-go, adore the Nokia Symbian OS (yes, on a Samsung), and crave extremely good deals, then, this is the phone for you.

Let me know NOW. I have 24-hours. So do YOU.

Samsung BlogMob(ber)

So here's the deal. I'm one of 16 bloggers in the BlogMob programme organised by Samsung and Mobile World (the magazine).

They gave me the Samsung SGH-i450, after I drew a black 7 of spades. Had it been a red card, I would have gotten the SGH-i550 which has GPS, WiFi and a 3.2MP camera. I wanted the latter, but luck is quite a rotten thing.



What do I have to do? I've been asked to use the phone and blog about it, although I am not obliged to (mmm hmm). I think this will be a tough task. For me, the mobile phone = Nokia (remember subsets in Math class?)

This is a form of peer-to-peer marketing. It's great to see brands such as Samsung experiment with these type of initiatives. It takes a little bit of guts, as the average human being (blogger) will always have something negative to say. Multiply that by 1,000 readers, and you might end up with a Marketing Massacre.
