Not anymore for the black market now that M1 and Starhub released their iPhones as well. I manage to purchase one 32Gb 3GS brand new sealed in box set for only SGD1050 ~ RM2570 (Assuming SGD1 = RM2.45) and prices are still dropping in SG.  That's about RM400 lower than Maxis' retail price. The only down side is that you'll have to go to SG to claim warranty. If anyone wants a SG set I reccomend waiting for another 1-2 weeks and the price would be even more competitive. I couldn't wait coz my current phone broke.

Anyway, I'm glad to join the iPhone family. Those who complain about the price, actually, I find the price reasonable. Aussie iphones are more expensive after conversion (based on price in apple store) so I have no complains about Maxis pricing. I just not happy at Maxis' monopoly, causing an acute shortage in the market, hence black market prices are so high. I just don't feel right that I have to pay about RM2700 for something that I COULD have bought at RM2490 from a retailer.

There are lots of pple in SG who wants to renew their contract, but they don't want the iPhone, so they sell it off. I think 16gb should be around SGD930-940 now. I don't wanna hang around their forums anymore coz I don't wanna sakit hati when I see the price drop again hehe...

where is the forum.. im wondering how much iphone 3gs 16gb black market in singapore?

hey there,

I have totally no basic knowledge about iphone so i apologize if my question is stupid.

I would like to purchase an iPhone for my mum as her birthday present, yet she does not want to change to Maxis (maxis used to simply bill us until we got angry and changed to Digi)

Any idea on how I am going to get my mum's birthday gift?
Can I just buy the iPhone alone and use it with her current sim card?
Where can i get the iPhone? Singapore?
Is maxis selling it individually?

hi gal (you know who am i, but please don't disclose it here; as i wanna remain anonymous here      )

getting from maxis is a little tricky because maxis has a tendency to sell their iPhones on a contract (they tend to reap more by doing so) as opposed to outright.

however, as far as i know, you can get the 8GB 3G (not 3GS) variant without much hassle.

you also get from singapore (but again, i don't think that they sell them without contract)

having said that, you can off course, get them from those third party mobile phone stores (which will rip your wallet off or worst; without warranty)

you can definitely try your luck, popping into maxis stores around the country and ask if they are willing to sell them outright (if they do, then it is your lucky day)

both singaporean and malaysian (maxis) bound units are unlocked by nature and hence you can of course use them with a DiGi simcard, without any complications

Nok, allow me to add that Maxis is now selling the iPhones outright without contracts, probably due to lesser demand in view of the imminent new model coming soon. But the 32gb is in abundant with 16gb available in certain outlets only.

no worries pat.

do you mind naming a few places with such offer (to your best knowledge) around the klang valley area for my friend?

much appreciated.

From what I gather, Sunway Pyramid, Pavilion, Mid Valley/Gardens and of course KLCC. Suggest your friend calls up first though before making the trip.

thanks PeeEl and Nokia2003 for the info =)

but i think they won't be selling me the iPhone 3Gs right?
If i were to get, of course i would prefer to get the latest model for my mum..

but i will check it out when I go shopping for cny !

Guys, I got a question. Does the iPhone have good organizer capabilities? Like setting appointments and such?
