SingTel, StarHub and MobileOne to bring iPhone to Singapore

Damian Koh  |  May 12, 2008

It's official. SingTel has announced it will bring the iPhone to Singapore later this year. According to the media statement, SingTel, Bharti Airtel, Globe and Optus have signed an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to Singapore, India, the Philippines and Australia. No further details were mentioned in the release.

We've also just gotten word that the iPhone is expected to be available from all three telcos in Singapore. According to Michael Sim, senior corporate communications manager for StarHub, "we expect all three operators in Singapore would be offering the iPhone by the end of the year". We know it's stating the obvious, but this simply means the iPhone that will be available in the island-state won't be tied exclusively to any of the local telco operators. And surely, that's a piece of good news on a Monday afternoon.

ahhh... finally. And it is when my Windows Mobile 5 PDA Phone started to become obsolete. Good news, iphone might become my next handphone. Hope to hear the exact date of the launch of this iphone in Singapore. Hopefully the price will be the same with the US

Finally I can upgrade from my N95. Initially it worked really well but I now I have to reset the firmware or something cos I can't run the browser at all to access the internet and I'm too busy now to get it done. I just need something robust that works. Something better than symbian and win mobile.
