man...i had no idea iphone was facing this amazing shortage in malaysia.here's my story :
i just came back from sydney ,whilst there, i purchased 1 unit 16gb black from the flagship apple store (around AUD 870). they had plentiful stock on the iphone sales counter, and stocks were bulk stacked on top of the counter in glass casings. i used it for a week while there, and decided to pass it to a relative staying there - due to warranty reasons, i figured getting mine frm maxis would make more sense. Came back early morning flight and went straight to Maxis the gardens - only to be told 30 DAYS waiting list..how i wish i'd just brought back my aussie unit
