My Singtel plan for upgrade is in October but I am planning to wait until end of the year for the white. I prefer the white. If there is no urgency, then wait until year end.

Are you currently on data plan? or something like the ioneplus?

If yours is MIO plan ( SNBB + Fixed line + mobile) with 12 mths upgrade, it may not be possible switch to a dataplan or iphone iFlexi plan.. fyi..

I am not going for dataplan because I do not surf Net outside...furthermore with a battery which drops so fast, I won't consider getting a data plan either.
Will still wait for white iphone 4 but rushing to get one even when it's out because of the teething problems like what LKVM mentioned. No hurry lah, afterall can't use Face Time outside.

Thank you Duriz...

However have been hearing some bad reports as well for the iPhone 4 that the signal quality is not so good xian...

Will wait for the next batch to arrive!!!
===================================
what I previously posted :

wait for them to announce that they have fixed the bug

they have recently hired some people to resolve the issue

the problem is more serious / troublesome than they want to admit (as usual)


Now my old phone died on me, and out of desperation, and being out of mobile phone contract, managed to walk in an M1 shop, ON THE SPOT grabbed a 32G iPhone4....have been using it for two weeks now, SO FAR SO GOOD, email, overseas conference call on speaker mode, blue tooth sync with car's audio system ok, battery life 2 full days.....and FREE phone (of course in exchange of a 24 months contract la)

anyway even for normal plan, still got to pay a few hundred$$ for the phone, plus data charges, subscription charges, projected usage for the 24 months ....averaged out to be quite the same as signing up from the $98 per month plan but got the phone for FREE (me cheapskate la) and no upfront payment at all

I don't have a iPhone yet so I don't know how long I can control myself .
I'm a M1 user so can just walk in to buy.

There has been too much hype about the poor connection. I have been monitoring my 3GS…sometimes I don’t see full bar (connection) but still manage to call and speak to other party without problems.


If you have not bought any iphone yet, then walk into M1 and satisfy your craving.

You understand me so well :hugs: I have been trying hard to resist my craving .... like trying not to walk pass M1 shop

But if not on data plan, then the iphone wouldn't be as affordable..

it's like ard $600+ for ioneplus.. if it is even available.. previously check the 3GS 16GB is like $748 for ioneplus.. might as well just buy the phone w/o contract..

Hubby thought of getting directly from Apple directly since I don't need plan, but we estimate it can be around $888. Since we are on MIO, then will wait.

Mrs Ang,
I think you should go ahead and then spend the long weekend playing with your new 'toy'. Should be rather enjoyable.

You didn't mentioned which mobile plan you're on.. but if it is like ioneplus, chances are, the pricing will not be attractive at all, and maybe close to $888.

For the iPhone4, ST didn't release the pricing for ioneplus plans, so not sure of the pricing, but if the 3GS can be any guide, it will be around $748 or more.. not really affordable..

For MIO plans, they offer upgrade every 12mths, but the price of handset still depend on the mobile component.

So, if the MIO plan is (SNBB+fixed line+1oneplus), the handset will be ioneplus pricing. Not sure about MIO TV plans thou..
