Telkomsel will lauch a new service called Telkomsel Prepaid Blackberry Internet Service (BIS).

To be noted:

It’s for Telkomsel PREPAID subscriber (simPATI, kartuAS)
It’s claimed to be the 1st in ASIA
You don’t need to buy a new special SIM Card, use your existing Telkomsel Prepaid SIM Card
You don’t need to buy a special voucher. You can buy any regular Telkomsel Prepaid voucher
Price? Well it’s planned to be offically launched on May 15th, 2008. So wait after that or you can visit the nearest Ghrapari or contact Telkomsel callcenter :)

I’m not a Blackberry user, I dont even have one and dont intend to have one also (except somebody give me one for free :P)

But I got this invitation, hehehehehe

Well, all I need is a mini laptop (such as Asus EEEPC 900 or HP Compaq 2133) and highspeed internet connection

I wish someday I could afford to buy one, or at least having my MacBook upgraded into MacBook Pro :P
