I was rather surprised listening to the news on radio this morning on the slow crawl along TPE to work.

Singtel will start selling the iPhone 3G from this Friday specifically at midnight. If I read it right, you have to have a plan with Singtel to buy it. Depending on that plan, the price ranges from $0 to $848. (Update: It is stated that you can’t buy this phone on prepaid so yes you need a Singtel plan to get the iPhone 3G)

To get one, you have to book an appointment if you have reserved in advance. I know my wifey did so waiting for that email. If you didn’t reserve, you can walk into a store from 22nd August to buy one, though no telling whether they have ready stocks for walk-in customers.

They do have a rather comprehensive FAQ page here,  so check it out.

Will I give up my Samsung i780 for this? Dunno. I can do video calls with wifey, send and receive mms (and I do sometimes) and I am generally quite pleased with it. The iPhone beckons though, but remains to be seen whether I will ditch the i780 for this…
