Here is the official word from SingTel on what to expect from the launch of iPhone 4 tonight and over the weekends:

SingTel has chosen a new and bigger venue to launch the new iPhone 4 this year at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre. We are selling the phones at a centralised location so that all customers with appointments can buy their phones from one place conveniently. The larger venue also allows customers to be entertained by interactive demo zones where they can access and learn about SingTel’s latest mobile apps ranging from navigation to shopping apps. Customers can also enjoy food and beverages, plus song and dance performances.

To provide customers with a convenient and great iPhone 4 shopping experience, SingTel is using an appointment system. Customers chose from 13 time slots spread over 2 days (30 and 31 July) to purchase their iPhone 4. This provides an overall faster transaction time in a conducive shopping environment, better crowd control and also minimizes queuing time. The timeslots start from 12am – 9pm (30 July) and 11am – 9pm (31 July).

Customers will only be served based on their pre-appointed timeslots and are advised to arrive within that window period to avoid extended queuing time. As stocks are very limited, we regret that we are unable to accept any walk-in customers.

Customers can visit the SingTel iPhone 4 bulletin board http://www.singtel.com/iphone4 for more updates.

We thank our customers for their support and understanding.

See you all there at Marina Bay Sands tonight!

Press Release: iPhone 4 Arrives in 17 More Countries This Friday

Ordered my MicroSIM cutter from Deal Extreme for USD$20.00, but now the price has dropped to USD$17.43. In case you are unfamiler with Deal Extreme, the price stated includes free shipping. Placed my order on the 11th July 2010 and got it delivered to me on the 22nd July 2010. Took about 11 days before it reaches my house. I think it is because of supplier’s stock issue as when I check the status, it was stuck at “Waiting For Supplier” for a few days.

Align The Slanted Edge

Using the MicroSIM cutter is pretty straight forward, just place your SIM card into the slot and ensure that the slanted edge matches and press the cutter handle down real hard!

Finally, SingTel now support MicroSIM cards in their MultiSIM plans, however the price is 2x more expensive the normal SIM cards and from the description on the VAS page under “Others” tab, it was mentioned that then can be only 1 MicroSIM card in any combination of MultiSIM.

So if you got 4 SIM cards, only 1 of them can be MicroSIM and the other 3 is normal SIM. Perhaps it is due to the initial hight stock demand. But I believed that it will change eventually once the dust has settle.

But the justification of the price for just the 1 MicroSIM card is totally not worth it. I rather get the normal MultiSIM which cost only $5.35 monthly and get a MicroSIM card cutter for USD$17.43 (including shipping) from DealExtreme to cut it than pay $16.05 every month for it.

General 1-time Fee

• Connection: SGD$10.70
• Multi-SIM Card: SGD$32.10 (for 1 set of 2 SIM cards)
• $10.70 each (for sub-sequent SIM cards)

Normal SIM Monthly Fee

• 2 SIM Cards: SGD$5.35
• 3 SIM Cards: SGD$10.70
• 4 SIM Cards: SGD$11.77

MicroSIM Monthly Fee

• 2 SIM Cards (1 of which is MicroSIM): SGD$16.05
• 3 SIM Cards (1 of which is MicroSIM): SGD$21.40
• 4 SIM Cards (1 of which is MicroSIM): SGD$22.47
