dah dah... very offtopic ady...

iphone 3g very cheap.........not!

hahaha..i bump their threads la..dey so so cham

i mean the number of ppl believing its $199!! its uncanny!!

bro , all ppl knew that 199 is contracted price .

tell u guys 1 thing....im an apple seller myself...

if there's demand, there's sure some Lobang to find cheaper apple iphone to sell..

turst me..it takes time only, and the price wont be 3k

^ yes... it takes time... so for initial ones.. definitely going for 3k...

Ya,it will drop and take some time...but Min price is still RM2000 for 8GB...

Lucky i keep my iphone...very enjoy for this 2 month

mana lubang tu !!

i mean Lobang is those staff from Apple them self can get it without contract




Lobang yang maner u nak ...takutnya i .....

jangan lobang syfol sudah

of course it was a matter of time.. but 3k is ridiculous.. huhu.. so, how much shop selling 1st gen iphone now?

3k ridiculous? biasa la bro..non 3G first come out..hw much? same same lor..

but me..i'll wait..keke...

nw in shps? hard to say la...

i wait also... i have all the time i need...

and i rather pay something i get more juice of it..

3k for something feature already in the market except for the fluid interface... i dun buy that...

waaa if 3k then better get HTC Diamond zzz

no need rm3k la...deng..hahah..

by end of this month i would have an iphone..!! yipppe

wahhh, anyway where you will get the 3g iphone then..? go to US by the end of this month, or getting in garage sale..?i still curious how will they get stock for 3G iphone that will sell in garage sale, hope fully will have stock and heard their review on 3G iphone then..

Hmmm....thought that this 2nd gen iphone 3g will be cheaper than the 1st gen...wrong impression given...

Someone in Garage sale already announce the price...8Gb around RM1.8K, 16GB RM2k+

See this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...11&hl=iphone+3g <---Seller is ajul

hahahahha.. but i understand that the phone some seller already declared that it is locked unit...

hoho, that would be nice if they sell it by that price, and if they sell it by in that price, it means that they have "lubang" to get the iphone.. ?
but, IMHO ( humble opinion only), they will sell it with high price since the "HOT" 3G iphone have a lot of admire when they saw it "selling at $199"...

anyway we just wait for the actual price then, if the 1.8k and 2k+ is still not change, maybe i want 1 to.. ( its GPS ooo, i want GPS phone.. )

Yes, seller said that so far there is still no unlock method for iphone 3G...correct me if I am wrong, that is what i read in the pre-order threads for iphone 3G

with all the enthusiasm and hype about owning the latest 3g iphone, one easily be blinded to place an order and proceed to put a deposit without being rational. IF IF IF (i repeat IF), he/she has every intention to con or cheat, he/she could be very very rich with all these deposits.

seller?
mean got 3g iphone in kl ady??

i go spray my aluminium case to whole black color.hahaha
3g version

this reminds me a lot when the first gen iphone came out, when it was not compatible with maxis (loads of problems, early users can testify towards this).


as much as i was compelled to purchase one, i had to wait out as i do not wish to join the crowd for the sake of it, or subscribing to an other network etc etc etc.


hence, only once maxis managed to sort MOST of its problems out, only i felt more relieved to purchase one.

Ya lo...consider it a GPS and all in one with feature rich phone...but still a little "disappointed" coz before that people keep telling that the 2nd gen will be so much cheaper than 1st gen iphone coz Apple announce it at USD$199...

Creative man you Bro! Good idea...but the 16Gb got white one also...

That is why i am thinking i would rather spend some money come to KL and COD the phone if I want to buy it, to make sure the phone compatible with Digi...

ya, me also think like that, ooOoo, it will be scary then if got conned, just my advice, only get the iphone with the trusted seller, because i highly think that, maybe maybe maybe ( i repeat MAYBE ) there will be someone come and state that he/she want to sell iphone with really LOWWW~~ price and need deposit bla bla, just my advice then, buy with people that have reputation and safe trader.? only....just my advice only aa, don't flame me...



@nkkhong84 : lol you want to spray the iphone, erk, me a rather dun want to spray it, i like aluminum cover of my first gen phone, really cool and sexy..

gotta be carefully whilst doing that.


some lifeless people (through vigorous experiments) found that not all paint will adhere to the aluminium surface perfectly (may be easily scratched off, fade off etc) due to some industrial material incompatibilities (???!!!).


hence my advise to all wanting to do that is, to do a more thorough research before proceeding. dont just hop to some ah hock hardware store and purchase a rm15 black/white spray can and end up regretting later.


thats my 2cents of course. any feedbacks would certainly be appreciated.

Yes u r right...the iphone 3G is an opportunity for people to earn money but at the same time, also create lots of opportunity for people to scam and cheat money...

I would recommend COD to buy the phone...other than to make sure the seller is genuine, also to make sure the phone is working and compatible with your local network.

The iphone 3G stock not here yet...but some sellers in Garage sales are opening thread for pre-order and bookings...

Off my mind, i think there are few of them like: PCGamersKL, Ajul and Akuadam...

i mean, it doesnt take a genius to devise a plan out.


lets take this seller's scenario case for example.


i can put this thread up, saying that i have some "lubang" in china to obtain unlocked 3g iphones but limited quantity (lets say 200 units) in the next fortnight. however to confirm your reservation, i need rm200 as a deposit directly into my bank account. i am very certain that within the next 48 hours, i will obtain a perfect 200 buyers and a cool rm40000.


and i can safely plan my getaway as i have 2 weeks to lari to mainland china (ironic i know). ha ha

ya. better to COD it, where you can see it for your self and pay the money directly to the seller, eventhough it far from ur home/place, like me, i rather travel from penang to kl just want to cod the expensive sexy iphone price till 2k, if me, other people i don't know, maybe or maybe not.

I just feel that no hurry about making the deposit...more over, lets pray that maybe after the first batch, due to competition, price will drop a bit and sometimes 1st batch is kind of a "experiment" sets, where after people use it, if there is any problem, then people will tell and seller will try to solve it bla...bla...bla...

So maybe 2nd batch stock would be more stable and less problem...(perhaps this is relevant to the unlocking issues) Correct me I am wrong...

desire to get one wen Steve jobs said d price is 199usd.
but nw 599usd for no-contract is extremely damn f***ing high expensive.
damn apple

The is the uniqueness of "Apple"

u can get the iphone 3g for usd199... just go us and sign the 2 year contract...

It will cost more than you just buy the phone alone then... esp we do not use AT&T network over here in Malaysia

Seaedge just want to mention that the only way to get the Phone with Usd 199 is that,

not asking ppl to do that....everyone know that no At&t here..

^ yup thats what i meant.

bcoz ppl thought they can get it for USD199... which isnt that impossible, u just need
1) to register new line for AT&T
2) 2 year contract
3)stay in US

Oops...soli...soli...

i predict those dudes bringing in 3g iphones in light of the newly announced price without contract are gonna set a cool 3k or more pricetag for the 16gb version since its 699USD. top it off with the usual compulsory 10% tax required for electronics purchase in the states and shipping costs, be thankful if the 16gb doesnt cost more than 3k here in malaysia. the sellers here will definitely wanna make a cool 500-600 per phone, since they actually started charging 2.3k for a new 1st version 16gb iphone when it first hit the shores(unlawfully) here, which was like a cool rm500 profit, considering that the exchange rate at that time was 3.4. do the maths (rm2.3-18**)

Hi Seruzz...thanks for the very logical analysis...

no prob. in a dilemma now, not sure whether to keep my 16gb or sell it away and get a new 3g version. but i'm definitely not getting it from any of our local sellers, looks like have to ask a friend who's in a country with iphones to mail or bring it back(if he comes back) to me.

Hey Seruzz...

Not sure if you notice this thread...it is very kind of the TS to post all the official announced contract and non-contract prices of iphone 3G in all the countries...

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/735473

I am thinking of getting friends to get back the phone from me from overseas too if it is too expensive...but i am also worried if the overseas set is locked for their network or not...if so, how much to unlock and if we have already got experts in unlocking the iphone 3G over here in Malaysia...

Any news about Singapore or Hong Kong on the prices of iPhone?

Singapore still in Coming Soon List,no comfirm date yet,

Hong Kong dont have pay as you go plan yet..

How much are they stlling in in HK then?

Stlling?you mean selling izit?

Hong Kong only have contract plan,you need to sign 2 year contract with their carrier.

Then you can grab the phone at USD 199 pricing,and stay at hong kong for 2 year...

Yeah sorry its typo, what about without contract?
I do not mind to stay in HK for 2 years provided that I have a job.
