Singapore iPhone Fan

Remember I talk about how you can scratch proof you iPhone. Now, ZAGG has just released a new product called ZAGGskin. It is using the invisibleSHIELD technology combined with high resolution graphics. It still has the toughness of invisibleSHIELD to protect your iPhone from scratches. At the same time, it allows you to personalise your iPhone. You can choose from more than hundred available designs. And the best part is that if you cannot find any design that you like, you can upload your favourite photo and create your own iPhone skin. Go to their website and start designing a skin for your iPhone.

I believe you should know by now that both M1 and Starhub will be launching their iPhone by end of this year. Now, both operators are accepting pre-ordering of the iPhone. For M1, you can go to http://www.m1.com.sg/iPhone to order your iPhone and for Starhub, you can go to http://www.starhub.com/promotions/events/iphone3gs.html to order. The models available are iPhone 3GS 32GB (Black/White), iPhone 3GS 16GB (Black/White) and iPhone 3G 8GB (Black). No price and subscription plan information is available. If you place an order, you will be the first to know when the stock are ready. So, be fast!

Another good news for Singapore iPhone Fans. Today, Starhub announced that it has reached an agreement with Apple to sell iPhone in Singapore. Although there is no mention of the price and plan, it will launch the iPhone by end of the year. Starhub is the last Telco operators to announce offering iPhone after M1′s announcement last month. That means all the three operators will sell iPhone by end of the year.

As mentioned earlier, I don’t expect large reduction in the price of the phone. However, there will definitely be new creative way of bundling the data plan and applications with iPhone. Currently, both M1 and Starhub have data plans that cap the maximum charges. My guess is that SingTel will come up with similar plan given that it has lost its exclusive right to sell iPhone. I am also hoping them to come up with new iPhone applications related to Singapore context, eg ERP rate, cheapest parking rate, stock watch, latest local news, etc.

For me, I am really looking forward for my first iPhone when my contract expires end of the year, be it RED, ORANGE or GREEN.
