Another problem : I read many complaints - yellow spots at bottom ??? Hopefully the newer batches will not have this problem.

Bro : i wish to correct you. I am using Digi Prepaid ( the 128k) - I cut the original simcard down to size. It works PERFECTLY on my iPAD. Yesterday I was in Singapore and I tested the roaming - works perfectly too. Tested too on Celcom Prepaid card - bought it just to test

This is my answer to several who PM me about how to cut the card : you just need a sharp scissors and a piece of paper

First get the size of the card ; put a piece of paper inside the simcard slot - slightly pressed along the edges to get a impression. Cut the paper to have the size. Put paper on top of the simcard and use a pencil to trace the size on the card. What I did I cut first the right handside close to the gold edge. Then I trim the rest - it is alright to trim off slightly the top n bottoms of the gold edges. The important area is the centre part where you see 2 lines

It is the same as Maxis told me ( when I wanted to buy the card ) that the micro-sim launched for the iPAD is EXACTLY same card as for the new iPhone4. I did not take up the Maxis card as they wanted me to pay RM30 each month just for voice calls in addition to the data plan charges. I ask what is the logic in paying RM30 when the iPAD cannot do voice calls ? Then I was told is Maxis standard policy as the same micro-sim will also be used for the new iPhone4

Yet we see huge lines all over the stores, people queuing up to buy. Market analyst had estimated that Apple will end this week with sales of 2 million units !!! However we can all take comfort that by the time Msia gets its units , all quality issues would have been resolved

Read above review, is interesting and different from the usual approach.

I bought my iPOD touch from Spore Apple online store using my MALAYSIAN credit card - no problem. But address of delivery must be a Spore address. That was a year ago , anyway no harm trying

Should be immediate - just pay for it

Yes is thoroughly safe . THere are pros and cons. Some guys are happy and some are not - actually all depends on what you really want to have in the upgrade

Singapore online store already selling 8GB model for S$748 but delivery is to Spore address.

Use the atomic browser full version only US99 cents - you can transfer all safari bookmarks over

Wow - this looks like similar problem face by others since signal bars go down when you hold it. It has nothing to do with your sim ; if the cutting is bad you will not even get any signal. Why don't you follow what others do - use a scotch tape and tape the antannae area to see whether your signal bars improved or buy a casing

This is a good and positive development. So no more restrictions and can now video call to other phones too eg Android.

http://blogs.consumerreports.org/electroni...etwork-gsm.html

American Consumer Report do not want to recommend the iPhone 4 just because of its signal issues. Glad to hear so far all Msian users in this forum don't have this problem.

By the time it hits Malaysia, pretty sure these "hardware" issue would have been rectified. Apple will not admit is hardware issue now - it will trigger a massive recall, imagine 1 million sets already sold! Their proposed software solution fix/patch supposedly to be released 2 weeks ago still no news yet

It is very simple. If you still have doubt, sit it out and wait. Those who don't mind this issue and can accept it with say using a bumper or hold it another way just go ahead. There is no point debating. If the answers you are expecting does not satisfy you, don't buy it. You can always get other smart phones.
Frankly the sales is still so good Steve Jobs couln't be bother anymore whether you are happy or not with what Apple had been explaining or what other reviewers are saying.
For me now knowing all these issues, I will still buy it because the other features are outstanding too. It is not that you cannot use it to call, anyway Malaysian users so far are positive. I was with them at KLCC and tested it and would just say as a non
owner yet, didn't find any signals dropping issues
Continued debate on this issue will not improve it if it has a hardware problem. Let's leave it to Apple to resolve whatever thro software or an improvement in the subsequent production

Infact , I quote " If you were looking for a message thread on Apple's support forums pointing to Consumer Reports' article 'not recommending' the iPhone 4, it's not there any more. Apple's support forum moderators deleted the thread. " http://www.tuaw.com/2010/07/12/apple-drops...wn-memory-hole/

So simply Apple does not want anyone to discuss anymore it at their forum - call it unprofessional, protective whatever - you get the picture ?

That is a good deed you have done. Frankly I will not do what you have done. I see no point justifying to those critics. If you read in the forums, there are equally satisfied as well as unhappy users. I was with you guys at the last meet up and I see no issue at all with it. It is a product made in a factory full of labor problems. Those who are not aware just google fox conn and what you see is all labor problems, workers committing suicide n Apple being their main customer was greatly affected. It jut take one worker to do a slipshod work that could lead to serious defects which only emerge later. I seen this daily while I was in manufacturing. One of My ex boss bought a brand new Mercedes S class rm600k n car broke down on highway on day 2. Just an example to show that quality issue will arise even in premium product.

Members in this forum should respect opinions expressed. If members said they have no issues, respect it. Why the need to prove to you. What benefit do these owners gain by lying to you. I believe most members in this forum are Msians , I feel sad when I continue to read such cynics n critics questioning the authencity of the ip4 owners. They prefer to listen and accept those reported overseas - overseas opinions more value and better meh?

How many of you guys up to follow the live blog. Gizmodo updates more interesting
http://live.gizmodo.com/

My favorite is always : http://live.gdgt.com/2010/07/16/live-iphon...erage/#sort=asc
They did an excellent job following the last keynote address

Some guy challenge him now to show how he manage to get the blackberry bold to drop signal as he couldn't get the signal down like Jobs !

From starting till end , he is defending and with data showing is not a problem at all. Only o0.55 % call to complain and only 1.7 % wants to return phones. So if any of you chaps fall within these %, just bad luck to you that you have a lemon. Anyway Jobs promise a full refund if you are not happy.

OMG !!! Steve just snub the Koreans : " Would you prefer we’re Korean companies? Do you not like the fact that we’re an American company leading the world right here?"
