It has been about seven months now since the release of the iPad in America. So far, it hasn’t been officially released in Thailand. However, like many other people, I have already bought an iPad at a store in MBK in Bangkok. Prices have come down so much that it is now comparable to the…
The iPhone 4 was finally released in Thailand in the early hours of Friday 24th September 2010. We now know the price of the iPhone 4 and the data packages being offered by the three carriers: TrueMove, DTAC and AIS. I was at the launch party last night for TrueMove at Siam Paragon. I will…
This evening I gate-crashed TrueMove’s launch party for the iPhone 4 at Siam Paragon. Lot’s of HiSo people, movie stars, pop stars and wannabies. The only person I know in this picture, far right, is @WoodyTalk as he follows me on Twitter. Apparently he is a talk show host. Plenty of celebrities who seemed to…
All three carriers in Thailand are selling the iPhone 4 at exactly the same price. The midnight launch is tonight and is already fully booked. AIS sold all their quota and now have none left. We expect the same to happen with DTAC and True. In the meantime, we now have the official prices from…
Despite the launch of the iPhone 4 tonight by DTAC, AIS and TrueMove, most customers do not yet know the price of the handset and the new data packages prices. Yesterday, we blogged the leaked prices from TrueMove, now we have just received a leak from the DTAC camp. Here are the prices for the…
Late last night I finally received an email from TrueMove about the iPhone Launch. This is a result from registering on their website the other month. At the time they made a big thing about us being the first to know about release date and prices. As it turns out, TrueMove customers have been the…
It seems that within a matter of hours, AIS have managed to take pre-orders for their complete quota of iPhone 4 handsets. When I received my e-mail from them at 3.30 p.m. this afternoon, the 3 rounds on Friday 24th September 2010 were fully booked (see previous blog here). This only left the midnight launch…
Last week I registered my interest in buying an iPhone 4 with AIS on their website. I only did so because I wanted to be informed quickly of the availability. I also registered for TrueMove last month. DTAC have a page as well but only for their customers. So far I have only heard back…
With the official launch of the iPhone 4 in Thailand by DTAC, AIS and TrueMove at midnight on Thursday, everyone has been asking about the price. The three camps have been very quiet on this. Which is strange as they are asking us to reserve a handset without knowing the price first. Now there has…
This morning I received my invitation for TrueMove’s iPhone 4 launch on Thursday 23rd September. It doesn’t give much information. It is basically inviting me to attend a seminar on the topic of “iOS 4.1 Thailand” at 2 p.m. on Thursday. Apparently, if I go to the seminar then I am entitled to reserve an…
On this blog I will be sharing with you tips and methods of using an iPhone and iPad in Thailand. I am not pretending to be an expert, but I hope that from my personal experience of using an iPhone for my work and pleasure you might gain some knowledge. As well as reviewing apps that I use, I will also post about accessories and also the latest news from around the world.
