@jonest,
I haven't done much research on the SingTel sets but what's the price difference like between this 3GS and the 3G a year ago?

@pikaphebat,
Hence, in order to upgrade U need to fork out an additional S$600?! If it's RM600 it's pretty worth it I bite the bullet and am enjoying my 3G [s] v muchie

@k3v1n,
Might as well just wait for Maxis to release. Based on keynote presentation it's not going to be too long; we're in the same wave as NZ & Singapore so wait it out just a little longer

@diners,
You're not allowed to ask or even speak about when Maxis is bringing it here cause we're all merely speculating. Once an official announcement been made, teikwing will update his thread or start a new one

@jonest,
The trade-in doesn't seem v worth it. Maxis has something similar too but am not sure if it'll be applicable for the 3GS when it reaches our shores.

My take is still that if U have to pay so much $ and sign a plan of 24 months instead of getting it outright, might as well wait for Maxis n get it from Maxis.

@rx330,
Yes.. Y benefit the telco in Singapore when U can sign Maxis and use the damn plan?! Whichever way, U still have to pay the $

@jonest,
Probably! All these money suckers!

@jonest,
SiGh.. we should have just taken AirAsia, flew to Melbourne and come back with a whole baggage load of iPhones and sold them ! Anyhow, I think I should stop spamming

Remember to take some photos when ur at SG this weekend

@dannywcw,
It's not clear but if it's a trade-in or an upgrade then yes, U probably will need to return the 3G sets.

@IODATA,
I'll just sprinkle fairy dust around the package so when customs do open it, they don't see anything

@mONSTers,
I'm not sure what the iFlexi plans are but based on what you wrote, the 3GS @ S$748 is pretty okie (this for the 16GB?) considering your existing 3G 16GB iPhone can be sold at about RM1500-RM1800 depending on demand and supply hence other than having to upgrade to iFlexi + be stuck with SingTel for another 24 months, U really don't pay an additional cent for the phone; U do need to check out how much extra U need to pay p/month for the next 24 months cause that's not been taken into calculation as yet.

@mONSTers,
If Ur going to be utilising the plans then I guess forking an additional A$748 for the i3GS seems quite okie. In fact, U could sell the current one and if you're lucky U wouldn't even need to top up for a new handset.

@mONSTers,
Don't think it's too difficult. Go dispose it ASAP before supply becomes aplenty I know a couple of people who managed to sell their units off at pretty good prices

@IODATA,
Unless ur friend looks like a crook and are carrying too many sets will he be checked. That aside, I don't think it'll be a problem lah, seriously! Worst come to worst if you're truly afraid, just take the phone out of the box and put in a lady's handbag and get her to carry it - that way when custom office asks, the phone is NOT new

@beavis68,
It would have pleased me more if I'd managed to sell mine at RM2k

@jonest,
The yellowish on the white apparently is due to some casing - it will go away if u rub some alcohol on it In any case, mine's Black but the white's nice too

@twinkles,
Warranty issues with Maxis sama sahaja. If it's a major issue they'll do a 1:1 but u get a refurbished unit, not a brand new set

@rx330,
If ur gonna be getting it sooner or later, U might as well go get it sooner

@rx330,
If U realli want it u'll find a way to get it. Hitch a ride from jonest lah - he's going over this weekend

@shdwkillr,
Er.. 3 years?! My family's been on Maxis ever since it entered the Msian market !!

@shdwkillr,
Ah well... didn't U know aliens are never treated well? Also, telcos don't care v much about loyalty, they only care about getting new users

@twinkles,
Er.. nah it's alwiz a refurbished set.

Ahh...this explains Y launches are alwiz in the night - so people can go to work in the afternoons and go for the launch

My Maxis Insider asked me where I was when Maxis launched the 3G and I told him he didn't send me an invite so I didn't go ! muAHahAHahHAha

@rx330,
iYah.. U'll go lah, trust me!

@rx330,
I thought U said ur going to forgo it and only think about it when ur plan is up?! *nudge nudge* cannot tahan leh?!

iYah.. SG not that far wat - just make a trip onli lah since u really want it

@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
