Singapore operators confirm July 30 iPhone 4 launch

During Apple's press conference addressing the iPhone 4 antenna issue, CEO Steve Jobs reiterated the July 30 launch date for the company's latest smartphone in 17 countries. Today, all three mobile operators in Singapore have verbally confirmed with CNET Asia that they will start selling the iPhone 4 on July 30.

This is slightly different from the launch of the iPhone 3GS last year as telcos StarHub and M1 started to offer the device only in December. This gave SingTel, the first operator to ink a deal with Apple, a four-month headstart. No other details for the iPhone 4 launch are available currently, but we will keep you posted as more information follows.

Editor John Chan's love for gadgets can be traced back to the days when he disassembled his toys and couldn't put them back together again. He practices great restraint in not opening up every review product that comes through the CNET Asia Labs, and before that, in his previous job at HardwareZone. He has reviewed items big and small, from mobile phones to projectors and feels everyone should carry a multitool at all times in case of MacGyver situations.

did all the telcos test the dreaded "death grip" yet for reception issues? or will it ship with a free bumper, as Apple promised?

How about running a poll on cnetasia to see what percentage of Iphone 3GS are planning to upgrade to Iphone 4, in spite of all the issues !
