Anyway, I rushed down right after work to wait in line for my new playmate for the next 21 months at least.
And now, I'm a proud & happy owner of this ...
Also, I've "defected" from M1 to Singtel. Been with M1 for over 10 years now and I just think they do not value their long-time customers. And I do not see M1 leading the other telcos anytime soon and with Singtel's firm stand in this market, I think I should put my money with Singtel. The last straw was that I was told by the M1 customer service (1627) that they have no corporate plan for their data line. The service staff showed no interest in retaining me as their customer even though I mentioned that I am keen to terminate my subscription with them. In short, it was just a very unpleasant experience. So long M1.
The process for switching to Singtel was smooth except for one minor administrative problem regarding my Singnet line and I was asked to make a $800 deposit! I was disgusted and told the staff that I expected a waiver if not I would walk out immediately. Thankfully everything was sorted out in my favour, thanks to the staff, and I got my iPhone.
With my iflexi Value, my 16GB iPhone 3Gs costs $248. With a $100 for new subscription and a $60 trade-in for my HTC touch, I only paid $88 for my new companion plus less than $40 for my red leather iphone case. Nice.
