@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 !

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.

@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

Thanks,bro..I thought my iPhone 2G batt spoil after i jailbreak it to iPhone OS3.0.

@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*   

What is YM? Thanks

I gotta learn how to do that too. Newbies these days needs hand-holding to explain the simplest thing.

Not that implying anyone in here as that. Just that if you do ask simple questions, then you probably need hand-holding like how Nokia2003 just shown.

muAHahHAhahAHha I figured out how nokia2003 does it.. It's all in lmgtfy.com !!

"Invalid Response Code 503"

Thanks a lot, Beejive!

I've tried deleting Beejive from my iPhone and re-downloading it from the AppStore inside the iPhone, and it spits out a message saying "The product you are downloading is no longer available". This may mean that Beejive is submitting a new version of its Beejive app, and hopefully end all this nonsense and silliness.

All this mess could have been avoided if they hadn't posted the crappy build of the app in first place. You don't have to race to get to be the first IM to do push notification, I'd rather have an IM app that does things right bur came in last than an IM app that comes out first but riddled with problems. That's Microsoft mentality you're seeing there.

Hence all these gripings. If they can't imburse me for doing their dirty job reporting every single error reports and glitches, then [RE]imburse me for all the aggravation. If the fault is Apple's, then it's their responsibility to do so, otherwise get the guilty party to the front. Then users won't feel so used and dumped on.

I'm an iPhone user as well but I can't see what's the reason behind on why you guys want it first, it's just a phone.

ROFL! then better tell that to the people who is gonna line up outside the optus store before midnight! in the freezing winter season...

wow...iworld.com shows that iphone 3GS 16GB sold at RM3,899 and 32 GB at RM4,299. Hopefully Maxis will give good price to current users with upgrade package.

Phew, just got back, 1.83Ghz becomes 2.13Ghz. Need to collect my thoughts on the recent findings, and I dont want to hurt anyone's feelings on the current OZ discovery.

I'll just let things pan out. If it does turn out fine, then congratulations to the Australians. They have been reamed on the rear end by their telco's offering since the 3G model is offered, it is high time they get the good news instead of the NZ side hogging all the unlocked units.

However, I am the eternal pessimist. That is how I keep my expectation low, always expect things to go not according to plan, so that I have recovery plans to rebound from the unexpected mishaps. Now, the word is "outright and unlocked". "Outright" can mean prepaid, meaning buying without a contract. "Unlocked" here can be interpreted as "unlocked to all the telcos in Australia" since all 5 telcos in Australia are offering the 3GS now, why the need to lock at all? They can just duke it out on who has the best contract plan to seduce their customers over. If this is the case, "unlocked" here can also mean "unlocked ONLY for telcos in Australia". I would not want to see my high hopes dashed when I slip my sim card in and still see "No Service" on the top left corner. Which brings it back to the need to contact a telco and request an unlock back again, square one.

I pray it does not turn out that way, and if it does not, I myself can be in Australia next month and get one myself. One customer is restricted to one per credit card, to if that is the case, I can bring "quite a few". So either way, I'm playing this cautiously. I hope our iPhone brothers in Australia comes in here with good news, so that we all can share this good news as another option/avenue to get our iPhones.

All unlocking is considered a breaking of contract and the customer will pay an
ETC which can be either a recurring monthly fee for the remaining contract
duration or a one-off lump sum based on the remaining contract length (i.e. Pen
1 or Pen 2).

Nokia,

If u are going to Apple Store tomorrow to get an outright unit..can you test by putting in a Malaysia sim card? But of course the sim card must have roaming la...pleaseeeeeeee

I understand that, but when all the 5 telcos are now offering the 3GS, the only reason I see for locking it to a specific carrier is for the specific advantages one would get for going for that plan. And since all 5 are getting it, the "unlocked" thing can be interpreted as "usable on all 5 telcos, but still locked to only Australian simcards".

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, I pray that I am WRONG. If I am, this spells good news to everyone, and I can even help shuttle some of these "unlocked" iPhones back home.

and of course it comes with mic (iPod shuffle doesn't)
I have sent my Apple in-ear earphones with remote for warranty claim now....for some reason the right earphone is very soft, compare to the left....

beware of water hazards while using earphones with remote and mic....they tend to act wierdly after exposed to moisture

@patience18,
If ur afraid of the sweat getting into the way then get the one without the mic for when U workout

hello people. am being quite noobish now, but because my brother is in adelaide and he is accusing me of saying 3GS is NOT SOLD unlocked in Apple Stores. Can someone clarify this to me?

correction... not wednesday..... is tuesday  

i heard u already got d i3gs rite? is it much better than 3G in terms of performance?
