Frankly, at this price, I would rather get other similar iPhone killer phone like the Samsung Omnia.
Early adopters of technology does not always means the best price. Once M1 and Starhub start bringing in their stock of iPhones, prices would drop and become more competitive.
Now Singtel is having a monopoly hold on the iPhones, they can set any price they like.
So just hold on!

Get a free 3G iPhone if...
You sign up for a 24-month subscription plan
By Chua Hian Hou
THE Apple 3G iPhone, which goes on sale this Friday, is free for those who are willing to commit to a two-year, $205 monthly SingTel subscription plan.
SingTel, the first mobile operator to bring in the iPhone, on Tuesday announced three new post-paid pricing plans for the much-anticipated set.
SingTel customers on an existing contract will also be able to get the iPhone, by signing up for a new 24-month contract that will run concurrently with their existing contract term.
Those on SingTel's $192.60 per month iThree Plus plan will also be able to get the iPhone for free.
Users also have the option of a 24-month, $95 monthly plan, paying $208 for the 16GB iPhone and $49 for the 8GB one. The prices apply to existing customers on its $82.93 iTwo Plus plan.
Those who sign up for a 24-month, $56 monthly plan, will pay $508 for the 16GB and $348 for the 8GB iPhone. This price applies to SingTel?s existing $48.15 iTwo Value customers.
Those on its $25.68 per month iOne Plus plan will pay $848 for the 16GB and $698 for the 8GB iPhone.
Sales will begin 'at the stroke of midnight' on Friday at the company's Comcentre building on Exeter Road, said SingTel spokesman Chia Boon Chong.
The 'tens of thousands' of iPhone fans who have earlier signed up at SingTel's website to reserve a set will be given priority to buy the iPhone, the company said.
Rival operators StarHub and MobileOne have also indicated that they expect to have stocks of the device by end of the year, with StarHub promising attractive prices for those willing to wait.
