@J_Vansen_S,
I don't think it'll make much difference. There are people I know who's impatiently waiting for the iPhone 3GS despite oredi using the iPhone 3G. Then again, it is only with these first early adopters Apple's making headway in its bottomline

@hellfried,
At the moment, it's not comparable because Maxis has yet to release its pricing for the iPhone 3GS. However, from the last release, I believe it wouldn't be much difference; unless of course U sign up with a plan via Maxis.

@izaman,
Yes U can but only via online. I spoke with nokia2003 about it and he tells me it's possible though sending out of the iPhone 3GS may be delayed.

Best if U checked with Optus direct.

@izaman,
Go the night before on the last bus and camp out at the Apple Store. Maybe you'll make headline news too?

@Voonz,
The $ is in terms of air time value. Also, if you're only going to be in Australia for 1 month, I don't think U'll be entitled to sign on a plan.

@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.

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

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

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*

@al3p,
hMm it's not expensive but I don't want to hassle myself having to sell it off later. I know for a fact I don't want to be spending this kinda $ on the iPhone 3GS *gulp*

@nokia2003,
Shouldn't U oredi be ready for the exam and resting now?!

@jonest,
I would like to but getting "rid" of it might be a problem and I dont' want to be bogged down tempting myself ! *gulps* Plus, I might have to trouble someone to get it for me and passing it to my leng lui cousin!

@nokia2003,
That is if only I decide to get a unit and get her to bring it back for me! Then, I will need U to go buy it [but then I won't be able to pass U the $ so it's really whether U can trust me or not], then pass it to her on my behalf

@nokia2003,
That wouldn't be a problem if she has the ca$h on her otherwise if U don't mind, I'll just get the ca$h off my Uncle and U can get it from him *grins* I believe he's going to be sending her to the airport anyways

I'll let U know if I realli want it though *grins* but A$1040 is quite tempting; esp if can some more get GST 10% rebate!

@jonest,
Er.. what's APR *ignorant*

@al3p,
oH.. ACPP - Apple Care Protection Plan!

@nokia2003,
So U'll be @ Apple Store 1130AM tomorrow, righto?! Er.. what price are we talking about here again?! The one lailaikatong reported?

@nokia2003,
I'm going to need to know a rough price but the phone U'll be getting will be 100% unlocked, right?!

@jonest,
You're absolutely right - I AM tempted! Maybe I should just go ahead and get 1 unit and decide what to do with it later!!!!!!

@jonest,
I also busy body saje but then iYah tak tau lah......! Shaite........... I'll wait for nokia2003 to let me know the exact price before I decide. So I have now till tomorrow morning, 1130AM to make a decision! *siGh*

Then I need to contact my leng lui cousin to make sure she brings it back for me! sIGh.. it's a good thing I'm meeting her mom for dinner tonight so I can give her a heads up and get her AU number first !

@nokia2003,
Since the Apple Store units are A$100 cheaper, Y don't U go to Apple Store?! A$100 less is about RM300 difference here .... can ah?! *puhlease*

@nokia2003,
Cheapest option sounds great! Keep me informed and I'll try to see if I can rob a bank tonight *grins* Also, good luck for that last paper of urs `k?

@beavis68,
Please refer to Post #1 of this thread for ur answer

@miniacs,
So.. check oredi or not ?! Can the iPhone 3GS purchased from Apple Store Australia be used with our Maxis sims?! We're waiting patiently for the report!

@hihihehe,
Er.. we're in the same boat and I don't know what currency you're referring to but I'm looking at about RM1.2k! *gulps* Gee.. and now that I've put that down in words, it makes me feel I shouldn't spend the $
