waking up this morning with Apple emailing new iphone 4 details, dun really like the outlook, pretty boxy and looked a bit thicker too.

just got 2nd 3gs in April, perhaps may get iphone 4 if maxis gave good promotion to existing i-value plan customer...

nowdays, I am getting  sweat.gif  to "chase" new gadgets in the market...it is endless, and burnt $ fast & furious...

It might look squarish, but actually it is 24% thinner than i3GS biggrin.gif

But still, I thought there'll be something different or worth waiting for.

But so far, apart from better display and sharper pixel; gyro tech. The rest like camera and front camera (VGA) are kinda overhype?

It is like, once you bitten the Apple, there is no turning back tongue.gif You will be hypey as long as it is from Apple.

The Face Time aka video calling - It should be FOC since we are calling via wifi? We could save alot on phone bills, good idea isn't biggrin.gif

So, facetime still have to pay izzit? if its free, all the TELCOS will be against because it will hurt their their profit..hehe

From what I read, the app comes together with the phone.

Only limitations are,

1. You need to be under wifi area, and
2. Your recipient need to be using i4G, too.

==

Actually nothing to against about, it is just like we use SKYPE on our cell phone, and we could call anyone over the world as long as we are under wifi condition, FOC-ly. biggrin.gif

Oh that's tiny, how do we get that? Just walk in to Maxis store & request to change the micro SIM would do? Any additional charges?

That's is why I'd save since early this year cause I'm anticipate it.

The best about this iPhone 4 is the highest resolution ever (period) for phones in the current Market. Since the back is made of glass mixture, I'm sure users will have more confidence using it without and back case protector. By august r September we can obtain unless Singapore willing to sell to maxis on July like what maxis did when iPhone 3gs launch. Maxis order units from Singapore.

The new technology Retina Display, claimed to be 326 pixels per inch.

While 300 ppi is the limit of our retina, isn't that cool drool.gif

Steve is working on 3G, but no confirmation news yet.

So yup, it is limited to wifi connection, and both device must be iPhone 4.

Surprisingly iPhone 4 is 2 gram heavier than the 3GS.

Dimension wise iPhone 4 is sleeker.

Just curious,

You guys in Malaysia, would you prefer to pay a premium & get a US/HK/SG set (non warranty), or rather wait for Maxis/Digi/Celcom set to release (with warranty)?

@panasonic88,
Lol.  I've been using a non Malaysian set since my 1st iPhone.  1st set was from NZ. 2nd was from AU. 3rd is from MY because a cousin wanted the iPhone so I gave him mine and got the MY one since he couldn't wait for it tongue.gif hence I've no problems getting an overseas set; thing is finding people to ship it back and keeping fingers crossed on warranties smile.gif

The thing about the MY sets are that it comes into the country too damn late + it's tied to some stewpid plan! tongue.gif

@stringfellow,
There must be some other tinkerbel around I don't know of who's being so generous tongue.gif

QUOTE(jimmylim85 @ Jun 8 2010, 02:15 PM)
I rather wait for Malaysia set release since we are almost paying the same figure. Unless you're filthy rich then I've no comment.

About the pricing, don't have to worry about it. It won't be more expensive than last year iPhone 3GS. About iPhone 3GS 2nd hand value won't drop so badly just because there is new iPhone 3GS for $99, but that's 8gb version.

Is now worth to take iPhone 4 32gb since is almost future proof and telco technology still have a long way to take us to the next generation. Lucky my investment on 16Gb is good since during that time, features still lack.

iPhone took the world Market by storm due to the fact of trully user friendly and APPS! who does use the phone with lots of apps? Yet I'm still dissapointed with apple not supporting Flash.

Ahh 2 complete different answers I get tongue.gif

I am abit on the kiasi type, I guess I would wait for Malaysia set (with warranty). Only drawback is time. bruce.gif
