What the hell is wrong with Singtel?
In its FAQ page for the iPhone, they stated that one can buy the iPhone by signing up for a normal voice plan. For data, they referred to the standard Broadband on Mobile (BBoM) plans page. These plans have a cap of 50 GB.

As expected, Singtel made official their iPhone plans tonight.
You can check out the plans here but they are not too different from what was originally leaked this afternoon.
I am going for the iOne plan and will be paying $850 singapore dollars for an originally advertised as USD$299 phone.
Then again, if you consider the fact [...]

This is a call out to all potential iPhone buyers this friday. We should be boycott these nonsensical plans and prices!
If Singtel doesn’t have enough buyers this friday, their launch will be marred.
We should let Singtel know that Singaporeans are not just a bunch of “carrot heads”.
P.S. Speaking after the initial anger, this [...]
Judging from the response on twitter after the news of the Singtel iPhone plans broke, we only have one thing to say.
FUCK U SINGTEL.
No wonder they don’t want to release the prices yet. They are afraid of a Rogers-like backlash here.

According to witnesses, a 2-storey high glass house has been spotted near the Singtel Comcentre located near Somerset MRT Station, apparently with the words “it’s finally here”. Could this glass house or whatever it is be part of the launch plans for the iPhone?
It’s Tuesday, I reckoned we will hear something from Singtel by today. [...]
Singtel sent the following email to all its customers who reserved the iPhone. One interesting fact is that Singtel claims that the iPhone runs on not only 3G, but 3.5G (HSDPA). If that is the case, our iPhone will run much faster than the US one. Wonder how true this is.

Yes yes, I know I should have posted this long ago. I was lazy. Here’s it anyway. The email from Singtel basically announcing that the iPhone will be in by the end of the month.
Am at Yusok Ishak House now. Damn bored. Anyone of you new Mac switchers have any questions? Do come down and look for me and I’ll help you with your problems, if you are nice enough. LOL.
Reuters has put out news that Singtel will indeed launch the 3G iPhone in Singapore in August 2008. This is in sync with our earlier reports about having the 3G iPhone launch before September, rather than the original September release the local mass media has been trumpeting for months.
