The Edge described the new Proton Saga (BLM) as the car that will disrupt automotive industry in Malaysia. A car that likely to change the equilibrium in the local entry-level car segment, which is currently dominated by second national car manufacturer Perodua, the ever famous Perodua MyVi. The model’s disruptive force comes from its price factor and product offering. This was the news a week before it’s launching and that time, only received around 6000 units pre booking.

Barely a week after official launching, Proton received a whopping 23,000 units booking of Proton Saga. This figure easily beat previous “fastest selling model” by Proton, the Persona. The Persona received 14,000 bookings after about a month of its launching (news date on Aug 15). Until today, I haven’t see any BLM on the road, even here at Proton City. But I’m pretty sure it will fill our road soon. Proton promise to deliver the booking as fast as possible by working double shift targeting to produce 5,500 units BLM a month. DSZ asked the customer to be patient and promised that they will deliver a quality car (thus they need time). Well, lets hope Proton keeps their promise. If not, I afraid it will disrupt people perception of Proton, which is on the rise right now.

Evey single thing about iPhone never fail to make a big news although it’s just a normal phone. What’s make it special I think is just because it’s produced by Apple. Including unlocking the iPhone. engadget and gizmodo have been all this while posting news on the possibilities of unlocking the iPhone. Among recent news including UniquePhones, intended to release the iPhone unlock software but somehow delayed by Apple. And today a teenagers from New Jersey got himself 3 locked iPhones and a Nissan 350Z traded for his unlocked phone. WTF! a 350Z, I have been drooling about that and never thought of I can that traded with unlocked phone. The smart ass here is George Hotz and dumb ass here is definitely Terry Daidone, the founder of CertiCell.

Apparently, we have unlocked iPhones too in Malaysia. And it does not cost a fortune for the owner to own that and no, he did not get any offer to trade her unlocked iPhone even with Datsun 120Y. idam04u managed to unlock his iPhone bought in USA just following simple steps available online. From above picture, we can see the iPhone is on local DiGi network, fully functional. Yes, he can make and receive voice calls. No he cannot make and receive video calls.
