If you have made a preorder and wish to change your iPhone choice, you may when you arrive.We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
Added on July 9, 2009, 3:58 pmplease do take note that the coundown counter states now at 1d 4h 5m. Not sure their 1d = 24hrs or else. We'll know in about 4hrs time. In 4hrs time, ard 8pm if it shows 24hrs to go, means they will launch it tomorrow at 8pm!!!! And to those whom had not preregistered, suggest you move fast. Take emergency leave or MC or whatever to be in queu. According to this http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/mobilephones/...62055768,00.htm , it's only avaialable at Comcentre from 10 - 12th July 2009.

It was only less than a year ago, 22nd August 2008   source: HardwareZone SGTo those of you who are going tomorrow, do take some pix please. Singtel Comcentre: 31 Exeter Rd, #26-00 SingTel Comcentre Singapore 239732 Location Map Added on July 9, 2009, 4:10 pmQUOTE(rx330 @ Jul 9 2009, 04:05 PM) ouch.... pre order close... so i think my sgd 300 offer gone liao, have to wait till august, wen i mature my one year contract hmm, wat about those who signed up a plan more than 12 moons alreaedy with singtel, but not the iphone plan, are those eligible for upgrade? Well, Singtel is offering 600 sets daily to those did not preorder via their website. if you feel lucky go try it out. On other than iPhone contracts, my guess is they will accept it as well.

@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, Just cause US launched it at the same price doesn't mean the rest of the world has to follow suit  Also, nowhere do U see our phone prices at RM99 or S$99

@rx330, In that case, U haf no choice but to walk in this weekend  @arrsoo, That U will need to check with SingTel. I'm quite sure the old stocks are still available but am sure they won't be replenishing stocks since the i3GS is out

@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!
