iPhone launches in Thailand, mixed reception

The iPhone finally launched in Thailand on Friday with the True Move telco, and according to reports got an "overwhelming welcome from businessmen to hi-so people".

However, executives for the company were said to have shown mixed feelings of happiness and anxiety.

First fan in the queue was businessman Krit Jiramongkol, who had the dubious pleasure of receiving a T-Shirt emblazoned with the words "I Got the First iPhone 3G by True Move". Bet he'll be wearing that in board meetings.

"We studied the iPhone 3G launch ceremonies in many countries and applied them to our own style," said one True Move executive, reflecting on some 500 True Move staff who applauded continuously while the first customers were "led to their seats in the phone receiving area".

There's a target to sell 300,000 iPhones over the course of the initial three year deal with Apple.
