AsiaOne reported that iPhone 3G could debut in Singapore within the next two months. If my math still serves me right, it will be mid September when SingTel launches the phone.

Few points I picked up from the article:

- Depending on the subscription plan and length, iPhone 3G could cost you nothing upfront. Beware of the potentially expensive subscription plan though. Equivalent prices around Asia are about S$104 in Australia or S$86 in Hong Kong, so expect similar prices to get iPhone 3G for free.

- Starhub and M1 will launch iPhone 3G later after SingTel has taken their customers who move to SingTel because they want iPhone 3G so badly.

- By selling iPhone at $0, a lot of consumers will snap the phone without a second though, only to realise later that they need to pay $100 a month subscription plan.

I still have my contract with Starhub until November 2008, so until then, I’m not in market for a new phone.

So, will you or will you not join the queue to get iPhone 3G when it comes out in Singapore?

I was in Atrium@Orchard building, level 10 for training. Around 10.15 AM, our computer was suddenly switched off. Soon later, we got news from the admin that there’s a major power surge in the building. The whole building power failed, even Dhoby Ghaut MRT was closed down. Our training was cancelled, and we got back to our desk. Some PCs were fine, some PCs were restarted, some phones were working while some failed, building aircon were not fully working, and host of other power failure-related issues.

After a quick search, apparently, there has been a flash fire explosion in Singapore Power Building here at Somerset. Seems like a major problem that even traffic lights in Orchard Road stopped working. Hopefully the situation will be resolved soon, and injured persons are alright.

Very un-eventful Euro Finals. Germany didn’t put up enough fight to Spain, and Spain was no-doubt the worthy winners.

As expected, felt VERY sleepy in office from morning, hahaha…… my fault nonetheless :p

Later tonight, Federrer vs Hewitt at Wimbledon, must be a good match !!

What do you think this is?

This thing that looks like a zoomed out version of a rock found on the road side, turns out to be one of the two moons Mars has, Phobos.

Check here to see all stunning photos taken from Mars. I like the blue-ish sunset photos.

Guess what, after English (obviously), Indonesian is the third most-popular language in WordPress blogs after Spanish and Portuguese.

Random facts picked up from http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/april-monotone/ They said: 30% of pageviews go to blogs in languages other than English. The most popular? Spanish, Portuguese, and Indonesian.

Maybe I can try switching to Indonesian language some time

Through SingTel, after they have signed the agreement with Apple to bring iPhone to Singapore sometime this year.

What about Starhub’s customer? Can get or not?
