DTAC and AIS have the Nano Sim now, if you buy an iPhone 5 abroad and bring it here they just need to see your iPhone 5 and then will give you a new sim.
True as of yesterday do not have any nano sims and are directing people to DTAC !
I hope it is launched here in December as planned, I also want one !

Bummer, I'm on TRUE and don't want to port my number. Used to have AIS, but does their 3G coverage still suck?

Well, I figured since I can't update my iPad, and Google Map is best experienced on the iPad anyway, I decided to go for the iOS 6 upgrade on my iPhone 4. I wanted to try out some of the new features.
So, I checked out the Map... and boy, the damn information on the map is either outdated or erroneous! The soi leading out to Soi 3 from Soi 11, has a hotel called "Paint House Hotel", I was wondering what it was, and I remembered "Penthouse Hotel". There is apparently a Bamrung Rat Hospital on Soi 7! What the heck is "Switch Park Hotel" on the corner of Sukhumvit Rd and Soi 19? I thought it is Westin Grande Sukhumvit. Even the Volvo Showroom is still on the map!

New Apple maps app under fire from users
Inaccuracies and misplaced towns and cities in Apple's new map software have provoked anger from users.
In June Apple announced it would stop using Google Maps in favour of its own system, created using data from navigation firm TomTom and others.
Apple is yet to comment on the complaints about the software, which comes already installed on the new iPhone.
TomTom said it provided only data and was not responsible for how it worked.
The software is packaged with iOS6, the latest version of Apple's operating system, which runs on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Previously, the system had an app running mapping software from Google.
But users are now forced to use Apple's new maps once they upgrade or buy the latest iPhone - which goes on sale on Friday.
There is not currently a Google Maps app available in Apple's App Store, although Google's system is still accessible via the phone's web browser.
Among the user complaints regarding Apple's maps sent to the BBC were:
Screenshots of satellite coverage in Dingwall Users have complained about the quality of satellite images in the new software (bottom)
Some towns appear to be missing, such as Stratford-upon-Avon and Solihull.
Others, like Uckfield in East Sussex, are in the wrong location.
Satellite images of various locations, particularly in Scotland, are obscured by cloud.
A search for Manchester United Football Club directs users to Sale United Football Club, a community team for ages five and above.
Users also reported missing local places, such as schools, or strange locations. Another screenshot showed a furniture museum that was apparently located in a river.
The Twitter account which posted the screenshot, @fake_iOS6maps, has since been suspended.
TomTom, which also licenses data to a range of other mobile manufacturers, defended its involvement.
A spokesman told the BBC that its maps provided only a "foundation" to the service.
"The user experience is determined by adding additional features to the map application such as visual imagery," a spokesman said.
"User experience fully depends on the choices these manufacturers make.
"We are confident about our map quality, as selling 65 million portable navigation devices across the world and more than 1.4m TomTom apps for iPhone in the past two years reaffirms this quality."
Prior to the release of iOS6, several developers had expressed concerns over the capability of the mapping app, in particular its ability to find businesses via search.
"This is incredibly different from using Google Maps," one Denver-based blogger wrote on 13 September.
"It's a tremendous step backwards and something that cripples iOS for Apple's customers.
"I [searched] 'iPhone Repair' and 'iPad Repair' since that's relevant to our business. The results broke my heart.
"All of the work I've put into our local recognition is completely gone."

This is how Apple rolls
iPads
This is how the designers and engineers at Apple roll: They roll.
They take something small, simple, and painstakingly well considered. They ruthlessly cut features to derive the absolute minimum core product they can start with. They polish those features to a shiny intensity. At an anticipated media event, Apple reveals this core product as its Next Big Thing, and explains—no, wait, it simply shows—how painstakingly thoughtful and well designed this core product is. The company releases the product for sale.
Then everyone goes back to Cupertino and rolls. As in, they start with a few tightly packed snowballs and then roll them in more snow to pick up mass until they’ve got a snowman. That’s how Apple builds its platforms. It’s a slow and steady process of continuous iterative improvement—so slow, in fact, that the process is easy to overlook if you’re observing it in real time. Only in hindsight is it obvious just how remarkable Apple’s platform development process is.
One example is Apple’s oldest core product: Mac OS X. It took four difficult years from Apple’s acquisition of NeXT in 1997 until Mac OS X 10.0 was released in March 2001. Needless to say, those four years were… well, let’s just say it was a difficult birth. But from that point forward, Mac OS X’s major releases have appeared regularly (especially by the standards of major commercial PC operating systems), each better than the previous version, but none spectacularly so. Snow Leopard is vastly superior to 10.0 in every conceivable way. It’s faster, better-designed, does more, and looks better. (And it runs exclusively on an entirely different CPU architecture than did 10.0.) But at no point between the two was there a release that was markedly superior to the one that preceded it.
Next, consider the iPod. It debuted in the fall of 2001 as a Mac-only, FireWire-only $399 digital audio player with a tiny black-and-white display and 5 GB hard disk. The iTunes Store didn’t exist until April 2003. The Windows version of iTunes didn’t appear until October 2003—two years after the iPod debuted! Two years before it truly supported Windows! Think about that. If Apple released an iPod today that sold only as many units as the iPod sold in 2002, that product would be considered an enormous flop.
Today you can get an iPod nano for $179 that’s a fraction of the original iPod’s size and weight, with double the storage, a color display, video playback, and a built-in video camera. Apple took the iPod from there to here one step at a time. Every year Apple has announced updated iPods in the fall, and every year the media has weighed in with a collective yawn.
There’s never been one iteration of the click-wheel iPod platform that has completely blown away the previous one, and even the original model was derided by many critics as unimpressive. The iPod shows, too, how Apple’s iterative development process doesn’t just add, it adapts. Remember those third-generation iPods from 2003, with four separate buttons above the click wheel? Turns out that wasn’t a good idea. They were gone a year later. Remember the iPod Mini? It had no new features, and wasn’t even much cheaper— but it was way smaller.
The iPhone is following the same pattern. In 2007 it debuted with no third-party apps, no 3G networking, and a maximum storage capacity of 8GB. One year later, Apple had doubled storage, added 3G and GPS, and opened the App Store. The year after that, Apple swapped in a faster processor, added a compass and an improved camera, and doubled storage again. The pattern repeats. We may never see an iPhone that utterly blows away the prior year’s, but we’ll soon have one that utterly blows away the original iPhone.
That brings us to the iPad. Initial reaction to it has been polarized, as is so often the case with Apple products. Some say it’s a big iPod touch. Others say it’s the beginning of a revolution in personal computing. As a pundit, I’m supposed to explain how the truth lies somewhere between these two extremes. But I can’t. The iPad really is The Big One: Apple’s reconception of personal computing.
Apple has released many new products over the last decade. Only a handful have been the start of a new platform. The rest were iterations. The designers and engineers at Apple aren’t magicians; they’re artisans. They achieve spectacular results one year at a time. Rather than expanding the scope of a new product, hoping to impress, they pare it back, leaving a solid foundation upon which to build. In 2001, you couldn’t look at Mac OS X or the original iPod and foresee what they’d become in 2010. But you can look at Snow Leopard and the iPod nanos of today and see what they once were. Apple got the fundamentals right.
So of course this iPad—the one which, a few years from now, we’ll refer to off-handedly as the “original iPad”—does less than we’d hoped. That’s how the people at Apple work. While we’re out here poking and prodding at the iPad, they’re back at work in Cupertino. They’ve got a little gem of a starting point in hand. And they’re beginning to roll.

Tested out the Do Not Disturb feature. It's pretty neat, it allows you to filter out who can call you while it's in sleep mode. However, if you using the phone the call will still come through. I wish they could add an option to block out those calls even when the phone was active.

When you detect errors on the map, stop, drop a pin on the error, and use the "report a problem" feature. Reported issues usually get fixed pretty quickly.
I plan to do a lot of reporting a couple of weeks from now when I'm in town.
