It has been one month since I've stopped using the i-mode service, the world has not ended; the sun did not engulf us, the sky did not open up, and aliens did not invade. In short, I have not missed it.
The one thing I used most on i-mode was reading the Breaking News and the Straits Times. But news I got easily with the papers and TV at home, and the net at work. So nothing really changed. Nothing major was missed.
I suspect that i-mode will go the way of the novelty, starting with a bang and finishing off with a 'oh...that' Like J pointed out, Singaporeans seem more keen on getting cooler phones than phone services (excluding the essentials like sms). People will be more likely to subscribe to i-mode as an aside to getting that cool new 3G phone rather than getting that cool new 3G phone because they wanna i-life.
Even though I didn't take to i-mode much, kudos to the Starhub insiders who were with us during the trial and having the conversation with us (officially or not). They actually listened to what we had to say and made some changes. Wow. Now, if only m1 and Singtel would open up conversations like this with their customers too...
ok, I'll buy it for $99 all up since its second hand goods
