RIM finally brought the Blackberry Bold 9790 and the Curve 9380 into Malaysian Soil with a launch party held at Lust in Bukit Bintang recently. For more details about the phones, you can read it all here. Now in that posting, I can only tell you that the phone was launched but can’t tell you much about it after that. Well, during the launch, I got a chance to play with the phones on display and I must say that the Bold 9790 would be suitable if you are a girl and looking for something smaller than the Bold 9900. For me, it felt very small, like the old Curve. The keypads are small and whenever I tried to type, I end up pressing down on 4 different keys instead of the one I intended.

Hosted by Jojo Struys, the event was launched by RIM Country Director, Muthu Annamali with him personally introducing the 2 models that was made available at this launch as well as surprising the attendees with a buy 1 get the 2nd one at 50% off promotion during the launch as well as during the PC Fair. Which is quite attractive, especially to those who wants to make some money selling the phones. After all, you pay for 1 1/2 phones and when sell both phones, able to sell and make a profit off both phones at the full price or even at slightly cheaper than the price Brightstar set for the local market.

On Friday, managed to catch the Kings & Queen of Comedy Asia 2 with Sheela and Louise. This year’s line-up is fantastic, with the likes of Vivek Mahbubani, Paul Ogata, Harith Iskandar and Sugar Sammy. The host of the night is none other than Joanne Kam Poh Poh and it was happening at the Planery Hall in KLCC.

The show started at 9pm after everyone finally made their way into the hall and found their seats, we were seated quite near to the stage so there’s no need for us to strain ourselves trying to look at the comedians. The show kicked off with a musical number by Joanne Kam and her divas before the Queen goes on with her usual naughty jokes. (more…)
