@dotjolt, The USA sets are locked sets!
@nokia2003, There's no need to explain the situation to us; U oredi did it at point of purchase and we oredi know we won't be able to save the 10% GST.
@miniacs, It'll be nice to be able to use it but since it's a Marathon, what happens if U drop it?! Also, it's going to take time for U to set it up; but if Ur oredi an iPhone user it shouldn't be a problemo!
@harmeet15, So cepats?! U travelling up to KL from JB tomolo?

@harmeet15, That's great.. My ETA is tomorrow night but I'm trying to figure out how to make collection arrangements without actually PHYSICALLY getting into contact with my transporter. I've a newborn (barely 3 weeks) in my home and mom does NOT want any risks (due to AH1N1) - I told her I was gonna go over to my aunt's place and she said go pack enough clothes for 7 days and come back after 7 days!  I'm suppose to meet stringfellow on Mon though This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Jun 27 2009, 11:05 PM

@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.

@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!

@nokia2003, Might as well U get allornothing's number and give him a call if there are stocks  Better still; purchase it for him and get him to give u back $  That way, U can accumulate more points in ur CC

@nokia2003, Since U mentioned the GST, perhaps we should tell the rest here they could TRY at the airport; who knows? they may be as lucky as U and Auro !

@allornothing, Er.... read Post #1 - nokia2003 was kind enough to give full details on GST claims. Thus far, those who make the purchase and personally travel shouldn't have problems with the GST claims (I'll check with my aunt who's arriving tonight - she's carrying 1 unit of iPhone 3GS) - at least that's what the damn Australian Tax Custom website states.
However, there has been few rare cases where the person purchasing the unit wasn't the person travellingl and yet GST claims were successful hence luck might have played a role. If you follow according to the books, it must be the former way.
Also, as long as your friend doesn't travel on an Australian passport and leave no longer than 30 days after the said purchase is made he should have no problems claiming GST for that unit.

@allornothing, I believe nokia2003 mentioned in one of his earlier posts that when U go to the Apple Store, just let them know u intend to claim the GST 10% rebate and they will give you the necessary documentations. It helps of course if U know the procedure so if u really want to save the A$79 then go and read the Australian Custom Tax website - it's stated v clearly there as to how you can claim GST.

Eh.. since U people are testing it out, does Voice Control work on asking iPod to play specific songs? It works if U ask it to play songs by Michael Jackson but can it to play Heal the World by Michael Jackson?
