Great info compiled in that chart. Too bad we dont go to Switzerland anymore, namely Zurich, otherwise I'd already be salivating for a chance to get one there.

This month only got trips to Paris and Frankfurt, so my chances of getting one would be from there. Not immediately expensive, but not as cheap as previously either.

Gosh...got new price already? So how about those making RM200 previously to him? He said that those people will be getting at the price he mentioned earlier, which is the price you quoted in your previous post.
Seaedge

If 2.7k for 8GB is a lil too much for iphone 3G. No unlocking method, Even if there's a method it'll void the warranty unless can rollback.

yeah but if i can have a guarantee after unlocking there's no prob with the phone then i might consider it..
just like the previous version. the 1st batch of unlock sure got prob. Maxis prob, and lots of bugs.
lots of worries to be concern about sad.gif sad.gif

Not really. Most if not of my Paris excursions are to the valley, namely Marne la Valle, also known as Parc Disneyland.tongue.gif

I'd associate romantic with a cruise from Stockholm to Estonia during summer. The lakes and melting fjords are really a sight to see. smile.gif

Add-on of an estimate of how much it'll cost in Malaysia.

A special thanks to commenter "tamade" for pointing out the obvious. Since AT&T's unlocked iPhone 3Gs will cost you $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB), you are better off signing a contract and canceling it than buying an unlocked iPhone. In fact, it's even cheaper to buy a 16GB iPhone using this method than to buy and unlock an 8GB version. But math isn't our strong suit so go ahead and double-check our calculations. We won't be offended:

$299 - 16GB iPhone w/contract
$36 - Activation
$175 - Early Termination Fee
$70 - One month of service

Total Price Using The Shady Method: $580

So...

8GB iPhone Canceled: $480
16GB iPhone Canceled: $580
8GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $599
16GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $699

How disapppointing... Vodafone NZ is cut throat. $699 for 16Gb with an ongoing 80 dollar payment per month.
This's really expensive.. 250Mb of data, 120 minutes call nationwide and 600 text to any network.
I do miss Digi... It's waaaay cheaper using mobile in Malaysia..

wow, i got a message from PCGAMERS guy in LY garage sales, and if 4.2k is the price to pay to be the first to get an Iphone 3G, I'd rather wait.


EDITED: But apparently the first batch is all already sold out. So somebody must be really hankering to get one.

I did a rough calculation for the ownership of an Iphone. For NZ vodafone, you'll be paying RM6.5k for the 16gb phone plus 2 years worth of phone bill. RM6k for Vodafone Aus.. not much different. If you opt for Optus, which is relatively reasonable, you'll pay RM3k for a 12 month contract and RM3.4k for a 2 years contract.. But... You can't really make much phone calls or sms with that amount of monthly phone bill you pay... You can still choose to pay for the Optus prepaid for about RM2.9k. Go to australia for vacation, pay 80 AUD to keep in touch with your malaysia friends, and you'll be coming back with an iphone, fully unlocked with warranty tongue.gif
