though lookin for iphone but I won't be swayed by d unsober market manipulation.

yoyo panasonic88, gimme 16gb not 8gb.

I am still in my sober mind and will not fall in those trader trap of getting a white elephant iphone then later regret after d new 1 came into market.

White elephant? Trap? Hey boy those are such a strong words. As of now we have very little details about how the 3G iPhone is gonna be rolled out. If the WWDC keynote is any indication, fat chance that you will gonna get it cheap here in Malaysia.... if it is coming at all. I don't see how sellers in Garage Sales gonna bring in the iPhones without violating some parts of the contracts.

I read some of the posts by our fellow forumers that there are certain shops selling it at whooping RM2800 for the 8gb version. Although i would say they're taking advantage of current market situation, I don't think calling it a 'trap' is appropriate. It is just a window of opportunity for them to make greater profit. Why so? Because there is a high demand and very scarce supply. This is the way the world works. You don't call it a 'trap'. By the way, I do think RM2.8k for an iPhone is a tad too much. I'd rather get a laptop for that money.

And white elephant hmm.gif ? Most of the current owners here are apparently happy with what they have. I certainly don't think it is a white elephant even if you are able to get the new 3G iPhone in Malaysia. It is rather a legacy. People usually only say such a word to taunt us the current gen owner. "Boohoo, now 3G iPhone only USD199 nia.....you so dumb go get so early!". Now, we won't fall for that trap. Good luck waiting for the new iPhone.

My reply was a personal view too. I never did stop you from expressing your opinions. So there you go, your freedom of speech. And my earlier reply was also an exercise of freedom of speech. So cheers.

For TS

If u think the phone is a worth buy then buy. If not then don't buy. No one is putting a knife at your throat to buy if the price already been jacked up to RM2K++. There's other option than just from the 'kedai telefon' that sells it. U can search from the forum and even get better deal.

To other people that thinks they can just go over the causeway later and get one when its launch there, stop dreaming coz it will come in contract with local telco (singapore la). Want to get it without contract, please be ready to pay premium price (REALLY premium).

Right now with the 1st gen phone, price are base on supply and demand. For the latest iPhone, the price are cheap when u are bound by the contract but then again we don't know what the future holds for us. So we just sit back patiently and wait for it to unfold. icon_rolleyes.gif
