[...] Singtel launched iPhone on 22 August 2008 through a huge event that started from the stroke of midnight. The keyword for the whole event being ‘experience‘. They created an experience so amazing that one would be proud to own an iPhone as it gives you a sneak peak into what would have been a great experience from start to finish. The lead up to the event was emails being sent to the VIPs and highest ARPU users as well as the longest serving Singtel user. Once the recipient registers to purchase the phone on the actual launch day, they will receive an invitation to attend the launch event on the 22 August 2008 (when the date was officially announced). The first person in the queue would have waited in line since 5pm or so and the queue just kept building up. At the stroke of midnight, fireworks were heard throughout the night. This created a big bang to the event (and a big budget!). As the customers who queue up gets chauffeured into the special room that was decorated with bow ties, etc in groups, the rest were kept entertained and occupied as they are brought to a different section of the room where they can see the features of the iPhone and learn how to use the iPhone through digitised screens and personalised customer service personnels. They are also served finger food while waiting. It was customer service and a full-fledged experience at its best. Subscribers who did not stand a chance to obtain their iPhone on the launch date can still purchase them over the counter while stocks last. [...]

Woot! I’m glad to be there at the launch event too. Thankfully the wait wasn’t as long as previously anticipated (6hrs plus) for us. It’s amazing how many people tend to file in only past 10pm. I’m loving the iPhone and it’s apps

By the way, excellent observations (cashiers) and event report.

What’s ironic is that the new iphone won’t be able to take videos like these.
