Telkomsel accepting limited pre-orders for iPhone 3G in Indonesia

Yet another Indonesian iPhone 3G news broke via Twitter

@yonan32 discovered last night that Telkomsel is now accepting orders for iPhone 3G. Unfortunately it seems that it currently is only available for limited market only as the order form on Telkomsel's website requires you to enter a particular ID. I'm still finding out what NIK CSDM means. It's likely to mean identity number for employees or privileged customers.

Why they chose to do it this way is as yet unknown but it does reflect the rumors that Telkomsel was going to release the iPhone 3G in mid-January internally before going public in February. Very likely that this is their method of testing iPhone 3G in a more public way. Another theory is that Telkomsel may not be selling it publicly at all and that this is only a corporate roll out? Yeah right.

Update 10:18 a.m: and now the entire Telkomsel website is down (or very very slow)

Update 10:25 a.m: @noitusan let me know that to register for iPhone pre-order you can also call 111 from a Telkomsel Halo number

Maybe they want only corporate/priority customer to order through their sales rep. If so, then I wonder why they made this page public.
