Cell phones, mobile phones, handsets, handphones… Whoever thought that all of that would eventually evolve to bring about SMARTphones?

Handphone + PDA (Personal Desktop Assistant) = SMARTphone

That’s right, handphones nowadays are more than just a block of plastic with a 2-inch monochromatic screen. They are now programmed to work like PDAs, with calling and texting functions, and also the ability to connect to the Internet. All that, in the space of two decades; wow.

SMARTphones today come in different sizes with different specifications, different forms with different designs, and different brands with different call plans. Hence, I present to you, the best of the best SMARTphone brands coupled with the best of the best call plans:

BlackBerry Torch 9800 + DG SMART Plan = SMARTphone Special

So now, for the big question: is the BlackBerry Torch 9800 HOTter, or SMARTer? If you ask me, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is SMARTer than it is hotter. Don’t get me wrong, it definitely appeals to me in terms of design and ergonomics factor, but the mind-blowing feature that makes this SMARTphone really stand out, is that it is the world’s first BlackBerry with both touchscreen and BlackBerry QWERTY keypad! These would come in handy when dealing with texts, email, Facebook and Twitter, wouldn’t they?

Oh, yummy, yummy. Now let me justify my stand. It has been proven that Albert Einstein was a genius because he could work both sides of his brain equally, unlike most humans who are left-brain (logical) or right-brain (artistic) dominant. In this context, having both a QWERTY keyboard (logical) and a touchscreen (artistic) at the same time would make the BlackBerry Torch 9800 SMARTer than ordinary SMARTphones! Also, BlackBerry is known worldwide for their quality QWERTY keyboards, and to add to that, the Torch 9800’s touchscreen measures 3.2 inches! Owning the Torch would just make you more superior than other SMARTphone users wouldn’t it?

Again, let me remind you that the BlackBerry Torch 9800 does not lose out in terms of design as it is as sleek and sexy as it is SMART and sharp. ;] This adds on the the Torch 9800’s HOT factor, which gives you even more reason to buy it!

Convinced yet? I know you are. :] Let me proceed to the DiGi plan which is just overflowing with awesomeness.

DiGi - Always the SMARTer choice

Today brought two good news to me.

1. Adam Lambert Glam Nation Tour Blogging Contest

Four days ago, I read about the Adam Lambert Glam Nation Tour Blogging Contest organized by DiGi and Nuffnang. I decided to join. Now this is saying something as I never take part in contests organized by Nuffnang because of low self-confidence and too much competition. =.=

I whipped up a blog post in about 30 minutes and submitted my entry.

So I waited and waited.

And guess what I received in my email inbox today.

I freaking won 2 DiGi Zone tickets to Adam Lambert’s concert! The DiGi Zone - a.k.a. the Sponsor Zone - is right in front of the stage. Adam Lambert close-up omg. :D

I will, of course, be giving the other ticket to my darling Ham, who is the world to me. I am gonna paint his nails black and force eyeliner on him. *rolls sleeves up*

Ok, jk, it won’t happen. *rolls sleeves back down*

2. Camera issue for my travels

I got permission from Papa to bring his Canon 450D with me when I go outstation in the months to come! Mind you, I’ll be visiting quite a number of places so it will come in handy. ;)

And that’s that. DiGi, Nuffnang and my dad practically made my day today. :D

Everyone grab your eyeliner and leather jackets because Adam Lambert is coming to Malaysia!!

As of now, DiGi has decided to give out exclusive DiGi Zone tickets to FOUR lucky DiGi Angels! All you have to do is write a blog post on what you love about Adam Lambert and why you should win the exclusive tickets from DiGi. This contest starts now and ends on 10 October 2010. For more information on the contest, visit the contest page.

Now, on to my entry for the contest!

What I love about Adam Lambert:

His rocker style

• Like I said, it’s all about eyeliner and leather jackets.
• His awesome spiky hair with inky-blue highlights? Check.
• The flashy smile. *sizzle
• And I quote Adam, “I think the key to personal style is to not give a shit about what everyone else thinks.”

His vocals

• The tremendous vocal range.
• How he stands miles above other vocal contenders.
• My heart skips a beat when he hits the falsetto note.
• Think Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury!

His aura

• He puts the ‘trance’ in ‘entrance’.
• I love how he looks and feels at home on the stage.
• Originality. Enough said.

As to why I should and deserve to win the exclusive tickets from DiGi:

1. This is the GLAM NATION TOUR. How many times in my whole life would I get the chance to win tickets to the GLAM NATION TOUR? Just this once.
2. I am convinced that with this blog post, I am a sure fire winner. *breaks into song* We are, we are, we are the sure fire winners!
3. I love Adam Lambert!
4. Attending this concert will definitely give me a taste of heaven.
5. To see this godsent angel sing and perform on Malaysian soil would make up for all other concerts missed.
6. I love Adam Lambert!
7. I am a heavy DiGi user. I know where my loyalty lies. DiGi is my whole LIFE. I would just die without DiGi. Seriously.
8. The tickets will not go to waste, I swear! My friends and I will make the tickets worth their value because we will be there dressed as hard-core rocker as we can and we will ROCK Putra Stadium with Adam!
9. I love Adam Lambert!
10. Adam told me to put my little hand in his and look into his eyes AND I MUST BE THERE TO DO IT.
