iPhone 4 launches in Singapore – Singtel, M1 and Starhub
Aug 1st
iPhone 4 has been launched in Singapore over this weekend, and it is “available” from all 3 operators in Singapore – Singtel, M1 and Starhub.
However, the stock of iPhone was quickly snatched by thousands of iPhone fans within a few hours. All three operators require the customers to pre-register with them in order to get the new iPhone 4 from them. For example, Singtel requires customer to book an appointment with them before the customers come to get one during the launch event. However, many complained that the web site for registration was unresponsive and all the appointments were booked within a few hours.
Well, I guess most of us will still have to wait for more stock to come.
The 16Gb iPhone 4 can be yours for free if you sign up for a 2 years plan with around SGD98 per month.

Total cost of ownership when buying Nexus One in Singapore
Jan 12th
When buying the Nexus One from Google Web store in Singapore, we have to pay more than the US consumers.
First of all, we need to pay the price for the phone, that’s USD529 + the country specific AC adaptor that costs USD19.99. We have to pay the shipping cost for USD28.32 as well. Before we get the phone, we have already paid Google USD577.31 and it is about SGD808.
Some lucky users have got the phone from Google after paying the freight forwarder SGD68 for GST, the Good and Service Tax that a consumer will have to pay to the Singapore custom when importing anything from oveseas with a high value. So the Singapore users pay around SGD876 for the phone (phew!) and it is about USD625. At the moment, the consumers in Singapore have no choice but to order it directly from Google as no operator in Singapore is selling the phone at the moment.
Well, I have ordered my last week and I have been notified that the phone is being shipped to me now. And I am expecting to get it within these 2 days. How about you? Have you ordered and gotten yours already?
