This is what i get when quick reading the T&C for iPhone

d. This Plan is offered and valid only in Austria, France (excluding Corsica, overseas departments
and territories), Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain (including Balearic Islands but excluding Canary
Islands, Ceuta, Melilla), Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This Plan is not offered to persons
who have not reached the age of majority. This Plan is not available where prohibited by law.

Australia is not there yet or maybe they forgot to write it. Maybe they will update it with some other countries who will have the ACPP due to the fact that most of the countries will get their iphone in mid August.

and from FAQ for Apple Care

What does “global repair coverage” mean?
If you take your Apple hardware with you when you travel and happen to need repair service, the AppleCare Protection Plan offers global repair coverage. You can either go to an Apple retail store or contact Apple for information on how to obtain service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response time vary by country. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.

hopefully Malaysia will appear in the T&C. finger cross

i will have a read through T&C wether iPhone Apple Care does provide global repair coverage

*Updated*
I gave up trying to justify the warranty coverage of the ACPP for iPhones. Too many words to read, not my cup of tea reading all these T&Cs Guess the easiest way to call AppleStore and get them to clarify. Hehe

Apple only lets iPhone 3GS buyers inside store

@al3p,
Yeah it makes no sense AU isn't on the list if it's available for sale there *grins*

Well, I love the speed of the new iphone 3gs, it is fast. opening application is like a breeze. The video capture is good, love the part where u can trim the video on the spot, pics quality wise looks good but i havent compare to my old 2g phone yet.

beside that, i'm planning to buy games from itunes store that incorporate duet function like leaf trombone. to see how does it works since my sis has a set of iphone 3gs now. any other duet able games, please let me know.

the voice control is like hit and miss, sometime spot on, sometime haywire a bit especially on the song function. it is cool function to have but only if there is listing of all the commands that are available.

that's it for now. cheers

@miniacs,
I believe the voice control command list available on the Apple website. I'm quite sure I read about it when I was going through the 3G S video.

Here's the list of Voice Control commands. Dig in: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#basics.voice-control

@tinkerbell & @davidgary73

THank you very much... I appreciate it.

Cheers

first and second posts of this thread have been updated and revamped.

Hi there just to give you an update on the GST claim things. My friend successfully claim it with the receipt bearing its name. If you are a visitor, you can choose to get it refunded through your credit card or you can opt to transfer it to your Australian bank acc.

@al3p,
Er... if ur a visitor, chances are U won't have an Australian bank account But that's besides the point.

Thanks for the information. I hope my aunt is successful in claiming the GST when she comes back 1st Jul!

Sure can claim lol.
Make sure to remind her to bring the item with her (handbag or hand luggage). They need to inspect the item first.(they dont open it tho)

not sure about other airports, but Tullamarine has an extra booth before the check in section.

you could present the item to the officer in that said booth, and once satisfactory, he/she will give a stamp on your receipt and then you can check in that item.

payment collection will be done before you actually board your plane!

@al3p,
I mean, I hope she remembers but I doubt she's going to forget lah!

@nokia2003,
I suspect Auro managed to get TRS leh!

Anyone from GC~?
Just got 2 units off Robina Apple Store yesterday, n they ran outta stock today for buying outright..~ sheesh~

there is still some left in chadstone, i reckon.

as a matter of fact, this chinese couple (who cannot really speak english) bought 5 units outright immediately when i was there.

and when i peeped over the counter, i could still see stacks of them.

guys....i already requested the unlock request from optus. how can i know the phone is already unlock after 10 days? is there any sms or something? sorry for this noob-ish question though. heheeh

Im pretty sure you got a message from Optus saying that your phone is unlocked. If not, wait for 5 days and try to restore your iphone and put another simcard and see whether it is working or not. 10 days is basically the approximate time. Some people reported that their iPhone is unlocked as earliest as 2 hrs (emergency request such as travelling oversea etc) up to 7 days.

yeah. it has been reported in the whirlpool forum as well.

as a matter of fact, by the fifth day, if you don't receive any text, i reckon that you can proceed to restore it (this is the essential bit to complete the entire unlocking process)
