@rx330, Given the current economic slowdown and since every1 is still happy with their current i3G, the new launch may not be significant compared to last year. (I mite b wrong). But some of my S'porean friends wasn't really bothered about the phone at all.... So give it a try, you maybe surprised. But of coz don't go on sunday larrrr, that might be 2 late liao.... try Fri, if can't go on Sat 2.. else fail try Sun.... give it a shot. You may never know....
Added on July 9, 2009, 4:57 pmChannelNewsAsia says iPhone 3GS doesn't disappointexcerpt The iPhone has always been sexy and now it’s even more of an object of lust, with the iPhone 3GS. -------- If you aren’t among the many who’ve booked a spot to be the first in line on July 10-11 to get the iPhone 3GS from Singtel which is the only telco that’s offering the handset, the good news is there is still a chance to place an online reservation for a new iPhone on July 12. In the meantime, since no one can really tell apart the 2008 and 2009 models, you can make do with an earlier version of the iPhone until you get the real deal. -------- source: ChannelNewsAsiaThis post has been edited by jonest: Jul 9 2009, 04:57 PM |

@arrsoo,
I don't think u can get 16GB i3G from Singtel anymore coz they won't be selling that particular model anymore. It's being replaced by 16GB i3GS!!!! You may wanna try ur luck wif phone dealers or some forumers at the Garage Sales!

Channel News Asia say Hundreds queue for hours to get Apple's new iPhone 3GS By Desmond Wong, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 10 July 2009 2143 hrs excerpts: SINGAPORE: Crowds lined up at telco SingTel's headquarters along Exeter Road for as long as four hours to get their hand's on Apple's latest offering - the iPhone 3GS. SingTel estimated between 1,500 and 2,000 customers on Friday, with more expected over the next two days.

@mONSTers
Did they extend the date for u? Coz all those who preordered are allowed to collect their phones by end of July with the same benefit.

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 14 2009, 01:12 AM) @mONSTers, Er.. so U didn't get the unit U reserved for but SingTel will honour the discounts and freebies when new stocks come in? Hmm.... other units available or everything out of stock? So, when's the expected date of replenishment? Singtel extended to those that preordered at their website ($50 was charged to their accs for the preorder, I think) to collect their phones by the end of the month.... |

I don't use the compass much, in fact I'm under utilising my phone; if only I could export the Compass app to U If U want reasons NOT to buy the i3Gs I can give u several. But if U want reasons to get it, I too can give U several. Just let me know which side of the fence U want me to sit on the darkside perhaps???  QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 14 2009, 12:50 PM) @jonest, Er.. U don't need convincing because U oredi sold ur 2G awaiting for the i3GS. My question was meant for mONSTers it's meant for him too..... |

QUOTE(kelvin @ Jul 28 2009, 04:42 PM) Can you share with us what happen when Singtel launch the 3GS ??  Well they ran out of stocks!!!! But those that pre-ordered were given priorities to collect it and while those walks-ins (without any pre-ordered) were limited to get it on launch day. Some were even turned away... But I think it's ok right now. |
