judging from the photos on CNET, the launch event by Singtel looks grand. with experience zone for waiting-in-line customers and all. heck, there are even fireworks. i never recall seeing any phone launch event with a fireworks show. i wonder how Maxis 3GS launch even will be.

i bet Maxis would even be kedekut to spend on confetti.

"white glove" treatment. they even actually care about not making the greasy with fingerprints before passing it to the customers.

i don't recall seeing Maxis staffs wearing gloves when caressing their customers phones during the launch few months back.

maybe the first 10 in line? Singtel got lotsa revenues to spare anyways.
