Do anyone know how many units will be allowed to purchase at the same in in Vodafone store? I'll be in Australia soon and I'm just wondering the limit number of iPhone 3GS per person is.

Anyone here going for the midnight launch? Might drop by and have a look since it's not too far away from my place.

i would love to go to be honest, but i have a half past 9 paper that very same day.

but i'm still hallucinating about going for the launch; so much so, that i have 2 separate appointments for the optus launch, 12am - 3am and 3am - 6am

if we unlock vodafone iphone officially by paying aud50, it will be a one-and-only-procedure-for-lifetime, or we have to do it everytime we restore/upgrade the firmware?

supposedly that is 1 time fee

@kwekeugene,
I wasn't aware until a couple of days ago that you're now in Australia! Haf fun @ the launch yah?!

@nokia2003,
Message from Mom: EXAM comes first. I didn't send U to Australia for the iPhone. I sent U to get an Education!

@cloudeen,
It's a 1 time fee but the unlock process may take a couple of days, sometimes week.

Does anyone know is it possible if it is possible that I can bring vodafone iPhone to oversea and unlock through vodafone website?

technically you can.

but there is a possibility, the website unlocking may not go through and you might have to resort to, patronising the standalone store for rectification.

looks like i need gif up for this iphone 3gs since i need pay full for remaining months for my contract

n i got mail from optus tht i can waive 20% off for current plan if wan upgrade to new iphone 3gs but still is a lot money for me to upgrade
this is message i got..i just quoted some of the contents


"We know you are only part way through your 24 month plan so because you pre-registered for iPhone info we're offering you the chance to upgrade to the new Apple iPhone 3G S and we will discount 20% off your early upgrade fees from your current mobile plan when you take up a new 24 month iPhone plan.† "

Refer to http://vodafone.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/vodaf...hp?p_faqid=2909 for unlocking fee.

Assuming unlock within 6 months via online, this costs 75. Price of prepaid is 1129. So total is 1204

So i guess it is still better to get from Optus (Cap 19 12 months contract) for a total cost of 1140 (where unlock is free).

Optus is under SingTel (Spore) so i assume SingTel bringing in soon...(July 09) wish that SingTel will have competitive price tag compare to Optus nor Vodaphone.

@terencetoo,
Both Singapore & Malaysia's release is slated for the same time. As to pricing, we're all eager beavers too!

ya im aware that unlock is 1 time fee
but is it 1 time process?
or have to re-do it after a restore/upgrade?

ok thats cool

@cloudeen,
I believe once it's unlocked it remains unlocked.

ya..once u unlocked then u will b no need unlock again..except ur phone got prob n exchange 1-to-1 then u will need unlock again bcoz different serial number

The Apple stores in Australia will be selling the iPhone 3GS outright & unlocked.

16GB $879
32GB $1,040

The apple store or the ol store? care to clarify?

can you post link?

Just read the whirlpool forum.. Most of them confirm it true by calling the apple store. If it is true, I wish it will go ol like HK store so that I can buy it since im living in perth and no apple store here. sigh.

This is really2 cheap price for AUD879.. Guess I need help someone from Melb or sydney to buy it for me now.

I've a cousin coming back from Melbourne on Sunday. Subsequently another aunt on the 1st Jul. Perhaps I should get it? *grins* I'm tempted too but I don't have the $ !!!

Maybe can ask her to buy then sell it hor?! *grins*
