		<description>Joe,

The iPhone plans don&#039;t look bad at all to me, they&#039;re less than half the price of AT&amp;T&#039;s iPhone contracts, starting at USD 27 including 500 MB, 100 mins and 500 texts. Looks like one of the best deals in the world.



And if you really don&#039;t like them, Singtel will let you stay on their regular contracts, with an optional 1GB data package for USD 14.</description>

		<description>Stinktel does it again. They screwed up another iPhone launch. One would have thought they&#039;d learn from last year, but alas...



They made people like me believe that the launch was so exclusive that in order to even queue, we&#039;d have to pay S$50. To my great annoyance, there was a walk-in queue when I got there. And it was moving faster than the pre-reserved queue. What did I pay S$50 for, Stinktel? So I could wait 5 1/2 hours for my iPhone while others just waltzed in in front of me?



Fireworks &amp; confetti drop worthy of a Republican National convention? Please... the fireworks were mis-timed, the video wall was so lame, and the confetti drop just littered the whole place.



As for the celebrity appearances, we saw them on stage for a few minutes mumbling replies to noob questions about some nonsense apps they were playing with the night before, then they disappeared! In any case, you can hardly consider them eye candy. I agree with Randy, they could have used the money to pay for more staff.



As for crowd numbers, I can easily believe 3000, cos it felt like 10,000 to me.



Thank God I have my iPhone 3GS now or there&#039;ll be Customer Service hell to pay.</description>

		<description>Forget about the Pre..

Its cr*p! Would you pay SGD30.49 for the game Bejewlled2 on Pre whose store has less than 30 apps

OR, purchase the Bejewelled2 on iTunes for USD2.99, and whose AppStore has more than 150k+ of apps</description>

		<description>1. One of the most expensive iPhone contracts in the world.

2. Singtel - terrible after sales company. Very nice launch, forget about getting any service afterwards.

3. Queue of nearly 400 people I was nearby, don&#039;t belive the &#039;numbers&#039;</description>

		<description>“On average,” executive vice president Yuen Kuan Moon told Channel NewsAsia,  “a customer during the peak period will queue between anywhere for three to four hours.”



-- wrong, most of us waited anywhere from 5-8hrs!



But the biggest draw — besides the iPhone itself — may have been the presence of television actress Felicia Chin (right) one of Singapore’s top 10 most popular “female artistes” for three years,



-- errr, who told you that? we absolutely detest those mediacorp actresses! just give us our goddamn iphones! they should have put the money to other uses, errr, like paying more part-timers to man the counters perhaps????



-- stinktel apparently didn&#039;t learn from their mistakes... this launch is just as bad as the original 3g launch last year! sigh, apple please drop stinktel for your future iphones, your customers deserve better!</description>

		<description>Play nice kids.  It seems that good people can turn into an a**hole when someone have some negative comments about something that they love.  It shows that love is blind.  Take a step back, take a deep breathe, relax, and remember the facts.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s right Doug.  The iPhone is for sophomoric people who &quot;can&quot; write a coherent sentence.  Stick with your pre.  You&#039;ve earned it.</description>
