This is followed by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Optus, and regional associates, AIS, Globe and Telkomsel, who are also the first to offer the smartphone to customers in their respective countries.

The Samsung GALAXY S innovative features, like the 4" SUPER AMOLED screen which offers the brightest and clearest displays, will transform a customer's mobile entertainment experience. The phone features the latest Android V2.1 offering access to more than 50,000 applications on Android Market Place. Users can also record and playback HD videos.

Following the press conference, Super Junior thrilled an enthusiastic audience of over 2,000 guests at an inaugural showcase, including SingTel customers who had received a pair of tickets when they purchased the Samsung GALAXY S. Bonamana, one of their newest tracks from their fourth album was among the songs performed at the showcase.

Samsung GALAXY S users can use SingTel's MobileTV and AMPed services to enjoy interactive and exciting content including an exclusive video of the Super Junior Galaxy showcase in Singapore via SingTel's Mobile TV channel.

The phone has received robust demand since its launch last weekend, and the demand continues to grow.
