@tinkerbel
can you merge the 2 thread please? or azrinarizz is gonna c + p here ?

um... Apple Store will be selling outright, problem is only can buy using SG credit card, and deliver to SG address.

EpiCentre and other APR haven't announced which carrier is their partner.

not for me, cos the name on SG register is their name, so it may cause problems later when warranty / AppleCare.
also RM400 is 20% markup... I would rather get my friends in SG to buy and trust them, rather than some strangers...

we dunno about the telco yet, all 3 of them haven't updated their websites...

unofficially : http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news/view/62021

grab it now from SG = warranty have to return there, can get AppleCare.
wait for local telco = can claim here, can buy cheaper cos got subsidy / package deal

Not confirmed yet... cos my friend's iPhone3G[S] was Singtel set, unlocked ... but she had to sign contract to get it, like our Maxis & DiGi sets.

that's why it says "FOR NOW" ...

why doesn't it make sense? the carriers will want people to sign contract... they don't profit from the iPhone anyway...

that's what I thought as well... but no confirmation, so ... dun say first la

can get credit card in foreign country? good job

yay! so that's good news.
so they're exactly like us AND they have online store selling iPhone4

imagine this :
August 2010, Malaysian Online Apple Store has iPhone 4 for sale!

@AlexGTX
the Singaporeans will be queueing up before you, and they don't need to pay for the foreigner's deposit. so unless you can get a way to buy thru the online store, your chances of getting one on launch day are pretty much nil.

like duh... they make profit from services... why should they sell without contract?

@AlexGTX
Singtel / Starhub / M1 sets are definitely unlocked, you've asked the same question repeatedly...
telco set = contract NOT LOCKED! got it? same like Maxis & Digi here...
Apple Online Store = no contract, NOT LOCKED! but price is higher

@swee5420
if you want it NOW, go buy thru Singtel / Starhub / M1. or get a Singapore friend to order online for you.

the only real point of buying Singapore iPhone4, is the ability to AppleCare (2 year warranty) ... no other reason.

@vin_ann
read thru your terms & conditions. Since Singtel / Starhub / M1 can see that you are not using iPhone, they may disconnect your service or charge you additional fees.

here on Maxis & Digi, if you use the iPhone plan with other phones, Maxis & Digi reserve the rights to disconnect you or charge you separately.

@AlexGTX
look at it from Apple Singapore perspective.
they're giving us 2 separate options.

1. buy thru carriers for discounted iPhone. obviously got contract .
2. buy online, no contract, no fuss.

if we have no credit card, we're not the target market for iPhone. how do we plan to buy apps?

foreigner? wait for your telco to see the light, and make a deal with Apple to get it there.

the reason I'm not being polite about this (like some other forumers as well) is that we heard all these complaints in July 2008, July 2009 and now again, the SAME COMPLAINTS in July 2010.
its irritating...

no, Epicenter is a Apple agent / reseller. so you can use any credit card.

since SG store is 3 weeks... maybe I will wait for local set as well

why not call the hotline and ask? whatever we say here is unofficial also

nah, they'll put the charge just after your phone is shipped out.

if you guys think you can run this as a business, good luck. Customs will definitely get you
