iPhone is everywhere in Singapore

iPhone is everywhere in Singapore. Even in Malaysia, more and more people is getting an iPhone, "Everyone is getting an iPhone, so do I".

iPhone is not perfect, but no doubt iPhone is very good smart phone. iPhone is not expensive when you compare it with other high end smart phone.

With new iPhone 4 introduced by Steven Jobs. Mobile network operators should expect to sell more iPhone. Since iPhone 4 is not yet available in Singapore and Malaysia, the telcos further lower down the price for iPhone 3G and 3GS to warm up for iPhone 4.

First is Digi, slash price for iPhone package. Follow by Maxis, lower down prices for iPhone 3GS. If you are a heavy user, willing to signup a 24 months contract, you will get very good deal.

The promotion is till end of July because we expect iPhone 4 will be available in August.

RM90 for iPhone 3GS looks like a good promotion.

iValue Plans	iValue 1 RM100/mth		iValue 2 RM155/mth		iValue 3 RM250/mth
Contract period	24 months	12 months	24 months	12 months	24 months
iPhone 3GS 32GB (RRP RM2990)	RM1990 RM1790	RM2090	RM1690 RM1290	RM2190	RM1090 RM490
iPhone 3GS 16GB (RRP RM2490)	RM1590 RM1390	RM1790	RM1290 RM890	RM1790	RM690 RM90
iPhone 3G 8GB (RRP RM1990)	RM990	RM1390	RM590	RM1390	RM490

I predicted that iPhone 4 will be selling around SGD 1,000 (one thousand Singapore dollar) without contract in Singapore. For Malaysia is about RM 1,700 to RM 2,500 (Malaysia dollar) with contract.

Will you pay for iPhone 3GS now? Or wait for few months, top up another few hundreds to get an iPhone 4? An iPhone 4 which came with a brand new design, better hardware and software, like camera with better photo quality, FaceTime video call, high resolution retina display, and the new Apple A4 CPU which should be supported for another few years time.

Is really a tough decision for the telcos who selling iPhones now. When to start selling iPhone 4? Pricing for iPhone 4?
