SmarTone (no longer SmarTone-Vodafone) has just started taking pre-orders for the iPhone 4S.

Punched my first RJ45 keystones
Thanks largely to this video I now have gigabit ethernet from the router to my iMac. I picked up a punchdown tool, couple of face plates & keystones at Mongkok Computer Center couple of weeks ago, right before the Typhoon 8 hit actually.
