Please continue reporting your experience with the OS3.0 in this thread, and this thread will also be the review thread for the iPhone 3G[S]/AifonTriJiEs once I have procured mine. Also, anyone with an iPhone 3G[S], you are most welcomed to post your thoughts, impressions and reviews here.

Forward, march!



For those keeping tab on the iPhone 3G[S] scene, some good news. Remember this link? Before this it shows which country provides unlocked iPhones based on their carriers. Now, it has been updated to include columns on which carrier provides MMS and Internet Tethering as well. I would presume, since these two new columns marks as new updates, the state of "which carrier/country provides unlocked iPhones" are also updated as well, and the list is now updated to include the state of unlocks for the 3G[S] as well.

If that is the case, these following countries are the countries are currently still providing unlocked iPhones to their customers, and presumably the same state of unlocks for the upcoming 3G[S]:-




There are a list of countries whose carrier provides official unlocks for their iPhones even though the initial state of the iPhone is locked, but I wont bother posting those. The process of these unlocks REQUIRES the presence of these iPhones to be within the country which provides these unlocks, and such logistics and planning can throw a lot of the planning off. My targets are the iPhones from countries above because they are more than likely, because of their law, REQUIRES their iPhones to remain unlocked officially.

Among the countries listed above, here are their release dates:-









The rest are on the Fourth Wave which is in August 2009.

I think IIANM, it has been stated that the new unlock will disable Youtube, so it is a toss-up between wanting the new features of 3.0 + Cydia or Youtube itself. Weigh your options.

Correct me if I am wrong.

In my opinion, I think the possibilities of 3.0+cydia overwhelms the need for the youtube app. Streaming youtube on WIFI is really slow anyway.

YouTube seems normal to me. anyone hv tried mxtube?

I tried on office Wifi..same YouTube connect error as well. The only way to connect as mentioned by String is to use Safari load Youtube and click on the video..with that the video will be played with Youtube app.

Weird, I tried mine just now, and Youtube loads just fine now. I did a re-restore to a backup and it works, alebit slowly, on the native Youtube app. All's fine in the world now.

Gonna get some shut-eye. Gotta wake up in a couple of hours to meet Harmeet.

Yeah really weird issue. Oh hey... I get it now... could it be that I am not using TM Net DNS? I am on OpenDNS actually. A lot of sites not possible previously are fine with OpenDNS. My youtube on PC is quite good too.

a not so good news.....

http://appadvice.com/appnn/2009/06/apple-b...cation-silence/

Apparently Apple just hasn’t worked out all of the push notification bugs quite yet.
still patiently waiting for Beejive update....

My iphone 3G O.S 3.0 + Jailbreak

using 3G = youtube ok, mxtube ok

using wifi at home = youtube could not connect, mxtube ok. (not check it again this morning)

using wifi at office = youtube ok, mxtube ok.

My conclusion, all related line condition.

TQ.

same here.. waiting for Beejive updates.... hope they can link to SKYPE as well, like IM3.0

@vui_msia,
Have U used both IM+ 3.0 & BeeJiveIM? Any preference?! I'm currently on IM+ but have heard so much about BeeJiveIM, I'm considering to spend the 9.99 to get it [Yeah it's going for 9.99 now instead of 15.99 hence heheheh the impulse]

Any advice?

*Added*
I just checked YouTube app on my Office Wifi; it works albeit a little slow

This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Jun 22 2009, 10:56 AM

You may want to check DNS and router settings. I've took some time to optimize the settings for mine and I have been getting youtube even on a sucky Streamyx day.

I think both are just as good. Even the IM+ 3.0 Lite (free) can send pictures, audio and support push notification as well as kept alive in background. Plus its on sale right now at USD$5.99 for the IM+ 3.0 Full Version! Yeah, I've heard a lot about Beejive too but their preview images didn't attract me. I wonder how's the usage experience like? Probably I'll check some reviews over Youtube.

@davidmak,
Y don't U check it out and let me know?! *grins* I'm oredi using IM 3.0+ (Full version) except I got it for 0.99 so muAHahHAhah it was a no brainer. 9.99 is quite a bit of $ *muAHahAHhaHAHah* and some forummers are oredi thinking I'm becoming like those 'Ah Sam' haggling at the market !

@tinkerbel & davidmak


I bought Beejive during SALE too (few months back at US9.99), it is great due to the user friendly, well manage (eg easy to control and use, this is important especially you have so many Chating programs in a small device) and stability.

I havent try IM myself, may be i should try out with the LITE version. Only features waiting for Beejive is - not sure when they will add SKYPE, they already ve new version support PUSH notification but pending on APPLE now.

This post has been edited by vui_msia: Jun 22 2009, 11:47 AM

me just recieved the OS3.0 software update cd that sent by maxis in the black envelope. the CD also in black colour.

it will load to browser after the cd has been inserted to the cd rom. then there is the guide to follow to update the iphone.

USD$9.99 is a bit hahahaha... pricey for me. I'm worse than you (Ah Sam haggling) cause I prefer free hehehe... I'll have to wait next month cause I've hit my max ceiling as I have been purchasing a lot of games lately. I'll wait a few moments before jumping into Beejive. Too bad it doesn't have a lite/free version. I really want to see how it operates in real life. Let me check youtube tonight if there're any such reviews.

So you've got IM+ for 0.99? Thats a no brainer! I wonder when they go down again

Yeah try out the IM+ 3.0 lite version. It has almost everything except Facebook and Skype chat/calls. Previously the IM+ lite cannot support background services, no sending photos, etc.

*cough cough* i wonder who called you that

i'm watching beejive's twitter like a hawk now! just waiting for them to release the push capability version i.e. BeeJiveIM 3.0

apple has yet to approve their app for public use

@davidmak,
Yup.. 0.99 for IM+ is really a no brainer. If BeeJiveIM dropped to 0.99 I would just get it without asking much; even if it was 2.99 (considering I knew it was 15.99!) hehEHhee.....

Let me know what the final outcome is. I guess on my end I don't do games so that's quite a bit of savings for me

@nokia2003,
Yeah, I wonder who! And, until Apple gets their Push Notifications in order, I don't think they'll be approving the new updates *siGh*

@tinkerbell,

$0.99??? just checked, it's still $9.99... And what app would you sugg to send out MMS? Mine is a 2G so MMS is not avail to me...

Thanks.

This post has been edited by jonest: Jun 22 2009, 01:25 PM

@jonest,
BeeJiveIM is going at a reduced special @ 9.99. If it was 0.99, I wouldn't have to be thinking this hard as to whether or not I should get it

I did however get IM+ when it was 0.99

@tinkerbell,

Between the 2, which would u reckon (regardless the pricing)?

@jonest,
I have the same dilemma! I haven't used BeeJiveIM but I been told it's pretty good and stable. Thus far, there's been no negative comments about it. Assuming if I had to pay 9.99 for IM+ and 9.99 for BeeJiveIM, no doubt I'll go with BeeJiveIM

hey guys,

after upgraded to 3.0, i could send and received MMS. But dont know why today the "camera" icon next to the SMS suddenly disappeared. Anyone know what happen?

Anyone notice his iPhone (1st gen)batt drain out fast after using iPhone OS 3.0?

Anyone notice his iPhone (1st gen)batt drain out fast after using iPhone OS 3.0?I already turn off my push not.

@lcwei85,
Some forummers have commented on this issue; we still aren't able to ascertain if indeed the battery drains out faster, or if it's because the battery indicator is now more 'accurate' - in the past, the indicator shows it's full but when it starts to drop, it drops rather fast.

AFAIK I used to switch off my 3G services but now that I've got my Unlimited Plan in place, I've started using it and can definitely see an issue with battery life

PS: I am using the iPhone 3G

This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Jun 22 2009, 01:39 PM

Thanks..I thought my iPhone 2G batt spoil after i jailbreak it to iPhone OS3.0.
However I noticed that my iPhone a bit warm at the backcover just like when I using wifi or playing games,but actually I'm not!I tried to restart and restore few times and it doesn't help.It seem like some application running background.I already turn off my EDGE and wifi using BossPref.

p/s:I apologize if I make any mistake here.

@nokia2003,
It onli shows I don't get into things blindly! I like to know what I'm getting into mah.. but I guess if this discussion continues, by the time I'm decided, BeeJiveIM might have gone back to 15.99 and muAHahhahAHha that time we'll be discussing the regrets of not getting it when it was 9.99 !! hAHahAH LOL

Ah well.. thanks and he's not the first person to have made the same mistake; I get called "bro" all the time! *siGh*

Beejive is much more stable compared with IM+..too bad i bought it while it was USD15.99!

But i think push still not officially supported on BeeJive. I'm expecting them to release an update which supports push! I posted review and requesting for that haha!

I was wondering, if we buy it now when the new version is released we get to update for free too right?

2.99? Hehehe... if they go all the way to 5.99, I'll take it too! I think the only time they reduce price is just before a new version is released or when a new version is released (with untested/unreviewed features). When things die down, they would go back to normal price.

This things u guys talking bout is messenger services rite?



This post has been edited by blugear: Jun 22 2009, 02:28 PM

@davidmak,
BeeJiveIM has NEVER dropped below 9.99; not from ever since I been monitoring. At it's lowest it was 9.99 (and that's what it's offering now, in anticipation of 3.0] I doubt it'll ever drop below 9.99 but if it does, it'll be a good time to get it. In fact, at 9.99 it may just be a good time to get it *shrugs* I'm still 15 16 ! hAHahHAhaHAHa

Yes.. any updates after you've made the purchase if FOC to U

@blugear,
Yes that's right. We're talking about IM services on iPhone

Erm,

3.0 has no change in the SMS tones right? As in, if I want to change SMS tone I still need to jailbreak? I miss my Yoda voice "MESSAGE FROM THE DARK SIDE, THERE IS" sms alert

Why u guys dont use nimbuzz?

Very nice and stable

tnikerbel,
u should take the beejive apps..., its really stable and the easiest msger apps ive use....
if its on $9.99, then why not? the price is a steal...

try to reboot your phone and see how it goes. you still use the same sim card right, then maybe got some bug etc, try and error the phone and see how it goes.

hope it helps.

@deodorant

i think the only way for you to change the sms tones is by replacing the original tones in the system,yes the sms/message app still dont have the option to change our sms tones.

is 3.0 compatible with 2G iphone?

the only app i really fully utilise, and thinks its worthwhile the amount i paid, is beejive nia

Can anybody who is out of contract with Maxis iPhone 3G confirm the below - whether its true or marketing ploy? Also that site selling the 32 GB 3GS for RM3999! must be from europe

http://www.iworld.com.my/blog/?p=742

"The Maxis sales personnel mentioned that they could, at their discretion should they choose to. However, they can ONLY use the iPhone 3G for calls & SMSes ONLY.

Data connectivity (3G access, internet surfing, GPRS, EDGE, etc) would not be functional anymore. To their knowledge, it is disabled/crippled if you’re not using the Maxis iPhone 3G with the supplied simcard & of course the 1 to 2 year contractual plan that you have signed up for."

I was thinking of getting the 3GS for 6 months then evaluate whether i want to switch carriers

@sinyc,
We have forummers here on DiGi & Celcom who's able to fully utilise their iPhone 3G features

@g3n0c|d3,
I'm pretty convinced liow... *grins*

Added on June 22, 2009, 4:42 pmu getting beejive?
review please tinky!
after u have gotten it of coz...

This post has been edited by xandman: Jun 22 2009, 04:42 PM

just a way to promote their products.. maxis iphones are 150% confirm unlocked. unless u got conned into buyin a locked iphone.

What that term basically mean is the plans (any of them) are meant to be used together with the iPhone. Thats because the services are custom tailored for the iPhone. Like you said, the iPhone is basically dead in the water without any data services. A lot of people had ideas of using the plan with other phones and probably some went all the way to sell the phone. That is in violation of contract terms. First you're selling the iPhone which is subsidized in the first place for a higher value (probably) and that value (profit) is illegitimate as it was packaged with the plan. Second, you're using the service meant for the accompanying iPhone with another phone which is in violation of contract terms again.

And due to these violations, Maxis has the right to terminate your entitlement to the service itself. Of course, who would know? At this moment, we can safely assume that Maxis has no mechanism or do not place any checks (at least) to weed out illegitimate users. (They can always track the IMEI with each account, etc).

So in your case, once your contract expires you can still proceed with whatever plan you're in with the exception that you now have the freedom to switch carriers or plans within the carrier.

Does it support the following:

- Stay active even when exit (background)
- Push notifications
- Send attachments like pictures, audio, etc

If these are working, then great!

This post has been edited by davidmak: Jun 22 2009, 05:03 PM

@davidmak,
The Maxis iPhone plans aren't really catered for the iPhone; they're catered to make you spend more $. The ValuePlus plans are much better plans as compared to the iValue plans.

With ValuePlus, your monthly commitment is used across voice/data/SMS but with the iValue plans, it's a separate limit for voice + data and SMS is paid separately too!

@xandman,
Will do when I finally get it! But there's nothing much to review for now I guess, without push notifications

This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Jun 22 2009, 07:20 PM

yeah...
ive experience Push on my mail...
and i want EVERY app out there to have Push bulit in!

Added on June 22, 2009, 8:33 pmcan IM+ stay active in the background?
sorry..noob question...
i really wanna test some good messenger app for use on the go...

This post has been edited by xandman: Jun 22 2009, 08:33 PM

@xandman,
Yes, IM+ can stay active in the background; U decide if U want it to stay active for 10 minutes right up to 24hours (or more).

Been using beejive since it first came out and never regret spending 15.99 on it. It's worth every penny (just like buying the iPhone).

Yes, everyone knows that. We already know that, its a rip off. But thats how things are going to be. By contract those plans are for iPhone. Thats my point.

@davidmak,
Maxis does allow the iPhone 3G to be bought outright without the plan Also, for others who purchase their iPhone 3Gs out of MY, they could always keep to their ValuePlus plans + open the RM99 Unlimited Data Plan or whichever data plan that's needed.

@frozzbyte,
Ok Ok. I'm much convinced now

its been few days since i update my 2G to 3.0... lagging more than 2.2.1.. anybody got the same prob?

I just upgraded my OS to 3.0 on my Iphone 3G and I instantly feel things are laggy/slower. Thanks Apple for making a dumb new OS and indirectly asking us to buy 3GS

This post has been edited by clawhammer: Jun 22 2009, 10:08 PM

Wait we're confusing ourselves. If we choose to get the iPhone at a subsidized price, we need to get either one of those iValue plans right? So once you're on contract with one of the iValue plans, by contract terms, you can only legally use the iValue plans with the iPhone. Of course if you don't want the iValue plans, you can just get the plain vanilla iPhone but at a higher retail price. There's no contract, Maxis doesn't care how you use it. It only cares about the contract because it subsidized a portion of the iPhone's price so that you would ride on their network. Splitting this off can be treated as a possible lost of revenue. Ooh you know how they twist things together. Hehehe...

hmm since we are in 3rd wave and if it TRUE i will definitely buy the iPhone 3G S eventhough I am using iPhone 3G 16GB White cover...however sitll not sure if it will benefit me since it is more on the internal improvement. Moreover, they said they gonna have a much faster processor next year. SHould I wait for that?

hardware speed and spec will always upgrade every year bro, i think there will be a new series of iphone with new spec. if we stay wait and wait then we will not get the gadget hehe.

it is you your self if you want the iphone , if you think that you always use video recording and love the speed etc of iphone 3GS then you should get it. if not then 3G is for you.

as for me i also want it but im more to macbook pro so i cancel 3GS hehe. because with the same out look, only inner different then i dont want to updgrade. but actually i envy and want that phone but im more to macbook hehe.

cheers.

sorry OT a bit.

Hie forumers, is anybody using Celcom Broadband Advance stand alone sim card on the Iphone 3G 3.0?

Does it support?

Actually the 'internal improvements' are going to give you a lot more than you can think of. That is in terms of more complex applications and games. Also the current iPhone OS v3.0 does no justice to the 3G[S]'s hardware. Remember one guy who installed Free Memory app and there was about 100MB+ of RAM available? That 100MB+ of free RAM can utilized for something iPhone OS always lack - MULTITASKING. Which is why I believe the next iteration of iPhone OS will have some kind of multitasking and a major overhaul. Right now iPhone's answer to multitasking is push notifications which is something like a workaround (and it is still buggy can you believe it).

Also the PowerVR SGX graphics core is some little advance core that can bring real PSP-era games to your iPhone (not possible with legacy iPhone 2G/3G). This possibility is very real. In terms of the CPU core, the latest and greatest in the ARM world is Cortex A8 for now (dual issue, in order). The next one would take some time and that is Cortex A9 (dual issue most likely and out of order). That little A9 is multi-core prep, so you'll see somewhere between 2 to 4 cores in one little ARM processor.

Looking through Apple's iPhone line, we see that they use the same hardware platform for 2 generations - iPhone 2G and then 3G. I believe you can see some trend from there. Of course, no telling they wouldn't change by next year.

Heads-up from Psyeo, Beejive with Push Notification is up on iTunes. Click "Update" on your iPhone or check for your updates from iTunes on your PC/Mac.

@davidmak,
Yes you're absolutely right. Hence, if U purchased ur unit from Maxis and signed on a plan, U will be 'stuck' with the iValue plans till the end of your contract period.

@rushmode, clawhammer,
It's not entirely true that the phone is much slower; I felt it was lagging initially but after I rebooted the phone, it seemed fine; I haven't had a chance to test it out on TTR 2.6 yet though.

@acc.wholesaler,
It's your call as to whether U want the iPhone 3GS or not. I'll like to have it but it makes no financial sense to me. Personally, I'll continue using the iPhone 3G and wait till the iPhone 3GSS comes out next year before I even start thinking of changing

I'm hitting nothing but problems trying to log into YM through Beejive 3.0. Error message "signon.time.out" all the time.

@stringfellow,
I think YM is on strike. Can't log onto YM through Adium either! I suspect it's not a BeeJiveIM issue but a YM issue

@xandman,
Just downloaded BeeJiveIM, will give updates as soon as I'm done playing around with it but I just luv the push messages - it appears on ur menu screen like an SMS about 1 sec after it's been sent ! *LoL* Push rocks!

Also, can someone tell me how long will BeeJiveIM keep U logged on? The version I downloaded doesn't allow U to set the period.

This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Jun 23 2009, 09:40 AM

Mine works fine and the push is doing its job well, anyway try reboot your phone as Beejive crashed on me before and after reboot, It was great for 30 mins now. lol. Good luck

I can go into YM via IM+ Lite that I have, but Beejive totally spits me out every time. From "signon.time.out" error to "Connection failed on all fallback ports". Om IM+ Lite , I can go in, so it's Beejive's problem on their end here. I can log into my Windows Live account tied to my Xbox Live account just fine on Beejive.

C'mon man, either make it a proper release or don't release it until you are ready, Beejive!

@al3p,
Hmm.. I've tried rebooting but YM still fails to connect on my end. It shows me "Error: Connection failed on all fallback ports".

I'm also still unable to connect to YM through Adium; and apparently neekun is facing the same issue too!

Uhm.. I just tried logging on via IM+, YM works! *urgh*

I've just passed a formal complaint to their support forum, and at the time of the posting of this post, no response from their support team yet. Lousy! And I paid full price for this!

Sorry guys, I didnt notice you guys use YM. I used Gmail lol. I've read in the forum that its due to the server problem which means beejive still using old authentication. More on that stuffs here: http://www.beejive.com/support/forum/viewt....php?f=7&t=1681

@Tinkerbell
for Adium, try search for update as they just release new fix for this problem. Hope that helps

Ok, now my gmail wont work, im pissed..

i juz paid for it and now i know it cant connect to YM!
dang!

Actually you can always use 'Free Memory' app. I bought that app and I don't need to restart my phone every now and then. The shocking fact is that when the phone is fully loaded or have operated for a few days the remaining RAM is 3-4MB! No wonder browsing on Safari is such a curse. Free Memory app allows me to clear/purge most of the RAM occupied or closing some unwanted programs giving me some where between 20MB-30MB. Safari is so much smoother then!

The decision to buy iPhone 3G[S] or not is pretty simple. If you have iPhone 3G already, hold on with it especially for people who have just bought it. Wait next year. If you have iPhone 2G, this is a nice upgrade. If you don't have any of the iPhones, then its simple ain't it? Hehehe...

Tink, how about IM+ full version? Does it support Push Notification? I've half a mind to scrap Beejive and use that instead, seeing how IM+ logs me in without all this mess of a problem.

I thought both the IM+ 3.0 full and lite version support Push Notification? Its in the App Store review...

Not on the Lite. Otherwise it would have shown in under the "Notification" settings.

@davidmak,
FullMemory isn't available for "virgin" phones right?~

@stringfellow,
IM+ doesn't yet support push! I thought it would since BeeJiveIM oredi got theirs updated but well, I guess App Store hasn't gotten to approving it yet! My suggestion; wait it out and see if the situation improves; it should

@xandman,
Er.. so fast sudah beli?! I thought U going to wait for me review? So now I don't need to review it oredi is it?!

This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Jun 23 2009, 10:10 AM

I think it supports the push notifications but I don't know how well it works. This is what I got from their site. www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=im&platform=iphone
It says it supports push.

Very disappointing as this is my first iphone IM app as I dont really use it and only become interested with the push become available. Got Beejive since it got a really good review before.
Anyway, I am giving Beejive 24 hrs to fix this or else Im gonna make complain and download IM+.

Added
IM+ offer for only 5.99 sigh

Goddamn this all to hell!

Half-assed release, and nothing but a bloody tease!

I was planning to celebrate this by IMing (with push notification) within cinema 3 for Transformers 2, and Beejive came back with a party-pooper.

@al3p,
IM+ currently pushes messages through to an email address; it doesn't quite support push the way we want it YET. There's an update awaiting approval from Apple Store and if that comes through, I believe IM+ will be able to support push.

I can't quite tell the difference between IM+ and BeeJiveIM because I only just downloaded the latter this morning. IM+ however is probably not as stable as BeeJiveIM cause after I downloaded the latest upgrade, it shut on me several times! *urgh*

@stringfellow,
And what time are U catching the movie?! Maybe by then it'll be up and running?

This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Jun 23 2009, 10:14 AM

i guess so...

but if u could review IM+ Full...
that'd be great!

IM+ does not support push notification, as per the new OS 3.0 per se. What it's push notification does is that you designate an email address where your IM messages will be forwarded to, so that you will be notified by email when a new message arrives, instead of the new OS 3.0 pop-up notification.

I see.. guess I'll better wait then. It really sucks like I stated before, this is my first IM app but yeah. Hopefully the 5.99 price still there when the push update coming for IM+, I'll be happy to buy it lol.

Anyway how is the Adium working for you?

@al3p,
IM+ constantly reduces its price. At 5.99 it's really not worth the $.

@xandman,
I'll do a full review tomorrow when I'm free-er and after I've used the application a little longer; at least then I can be fairer. Also, I'm off to Transformers 2 tonight so muAHahHAhahHAhah gonna be bZz !!!

It is better than paying for Beejive (which i paid 13 bucks) lol. But thanks for the info and I really hope that they fix Beejive soon as I feel left out coz all my friends with Blackberry always have their YM on.

Tinker, its not FullMemory but FreeMemory though. It cost USD$0.99 and is available on the Apps Store. It doesn't require JB or breaking virginity hehehehe... Its a no brainer. Get it! Everyone!

By the way, I'm more inclined to ride with IM+ though. 3.1 is under way and I think I'll just pull the trigger in a day or two.

@al3p,
$13 is not it's full price so I guess nothing to complain about right?! Like I said, give them a couple of days to make the system right

@davidmak,
Ok. FreeMemory is what I'm going to be downloading next Thank God it's 0.99 and not 9.99!!! I'm going to be running out of iTunes credit soon *gulp*

Are U currently using IM+ or what?!

Btw anyone can tell me yet how long BeeJiveIM will keep U connected till it disconnects U?!

@nokia2003,
Thanks for the information! hAHahAH I thought the Setting's part of BeeJiveIM but it's in the GENERAL-SETTINGS page *oopS*

sure. no worries.

i only helped you because of the "female" tag try to help whenever i can.

I've just downloaded BeeJive 3.0 for iPhone. Unfortunately it's not working really well. Kinda buggy. In fact, my iPhone's rather buggy and laggy lately after updating to 3.0... =(

@BlueHeng,
Er just what are the issues/problems you're facing with BeeJiveIM?!

I guess everyone's taking advantage of it's 9.99 pricing to purchase the app before it goes back up to 15.99!

When will we get gps turn by turn navigation?

Navigon MobileNavigator Europe Turn by Turn is already available now on iTunes Store, price is USD94.99 , valid till June 30th before it goes up.

@stringfellow,
Unfortunately, Malaysia map isn't available. US94.99 is pretty steep too but I suppose that's how much one would pay for a Garmin anyhow

AT least it's a one-shot deal. The other option, Gokivo, tricks you into thinking it is USD0.99, when in fact you need to re-subscribe within the app itself (In-App Purchase, thanks OS 3.0! ) for USD9.99 per month to keep using it. Daylight robbery in action.

As for Malaysia map, you'll have to wait for TomTom to do it. Garmin is reportedly not taking part in AppStore due to their own project with Asus for their Garmin-Asus Nuviphone.

Gokivo gives you updated maps, so you get monthly updates which isn't so bad. $120 per year is a bit higher than $95 but you get new POIs, updated roads etc.

Personally though I've been using Garmin GPSes since 2005 and I plan to stick to it since the free Malaysian maps are great.

Can;t wait for tom tom to come out. really keen to get more details on their iphone car holder.

@stringfellow & tishaban,
It's a good thing I don't quite need a navigator just yet. Am still using the one I got from Citibank; but that's uhm.. a GPS-Bay not a Garmin

What to do? I'm a cheapo!

Well I've been using BeeJive even before the 3.0 update. Back then it was great. Really stable and all. But just now it(beejive 3.0) just keeps hanging every now and then after the update. I'm currently doing a full reset to factory settings and restoring it now. Hopefully it'll fix the lag issues with my iPhone and BeeJive as well.
