Day 2..

It is the second days since I got my iPhone 3GS. The line will be ported over to Singtel tomorrow according to a SMS I received today.

I have not fully configured and setup my iPhone and iTunes. Managed to import the contacts from the SIM but is in a mess. Need to tidy up and add in the birthday, address, etc :(

My previous phone is ASUS p525 and running Windows mobile. Took me a while to copy all the contacts to SIM.

Meanwhile will continue to setup my iPhone :)

Finally... got my iPhone :)

Yesterday, went to the Bugis Helloshop to collect my iPhone ;)

There is a short queue at the reception to get a queue number. After getting the queue number which is 7013 and indicate for "special promo activity". Waited for about 10 minutes before my number is flash and go to counter 1.

The guy at the counter went to the store to get my iPhone which is label with my name :) The paper work took quite a while as I need to port over the number from M1 and other.

After paying and about 1 hour later, I got my iPhone and the iPhone is a present from my wife :)

Yipee... my iPhone is coming

There were 2 missed calls on my mobile around 8pm plus. When saw the number after 9pm, decided to call back the number. And it is from the Bugis Helloshop. They guy on the phone informed me that the iphone I reserved is ready for collection!

Yipee.. my iPhone is finally here! Going to collect it ASAP tomorrow :)

76 days and counting...

Yesterday I went to the Bugis helloshop as happened to be around that area. I went to the iPhone counter to check on the status with the CSO. After requesting to check for my status, the CSO keyed in my NRIC into the system and retrieved the data that I made the reservation on 16th Sep...

Glad that my record is in, not lost like last time.

Sad that still out of stock. 76 days since the launch on 10th July and still counting...

When will I get my iphone? :(

Helloshop online

A few days ago(on Friday), there is some stock of iPhone 3GS available on the helloshop online for people to purchase. I happened to go to the website and saw that the iPhone 3GS 32GB is available to purchase. I also saw on the forum that people mentioned that they are available to purchase online and deliver next week. However the stock ran out very fast.

I didn't make a purchase as I had made my reservation with the Bugis Helloshop and I also need to port over my number for M1 to Singtel.

The available of stock online for anyone to purchase makes us wonder what is the point of make our reservation on the shop or express our interest on Singtel website?? I thought that Singtel will give priority to those that express their interest or register online!

I have missed another chance to own the iPhone and will have to continue to wait..

The waiting game continue...

Bugis Helloshop

Yesterday I went to Bugis Helloshop to recontract my mio plan to mio home. At the same indicated to them of porting my M1 number to Singtel to purchase the iPhone 3GS.

The CSO asked whether I registered my interest on the web. Told her I did and she checked. She found my record and helped me to register my interest on that shop and told me that will call me when the iPhone is here. Currently it is out of stock :(

Thinking of it, I registered my interest on the web on 24th Aug. Yesterday, the CSO key in my interest on the shop. Does it mean that I will be start from 17th Sep and at the end of the queue :_

Regardless, it will be another waiting time again. Don't know how much longer... *sigh*

Taka Helloshop

Today passed by Taka Helloshop and saw a sign that iPhone 3GS is out of stock :(

iPhone 3GS

iPhone 3GS is available in Singapore but till today, the stock is quite limited. Even though Singtel allow purchase on their helloshop, most of the shop is out of stock.

Is there a tracking site that allows one to know which helloshop got stock for which model???
