i personally will not buy that kind of ugly stuff to put together with my cool gadget.

anyone doing bulk order of this kind of phone?


i wanna join!!

correct me. the iphone will be selling with 2 years contract, then i guess the price without the contract will be more than the price they stated, right?

YA. sure expensive. But i'm not so sure apple will like to sell iphone without contract. Just thought about 3rd party app, apple do not want 3rd party app in "their" iphone

then i guess it might come up to 3k ringgit. i also wonder why apple did not want to 3rd party app in there. maybe security issue?

It's not that Apple is not allowing 3rd party apps altogether. It's a quality issue. Developers would need to go through Apple's strict UI and quality guidelines before they can be considered for the iPhone. And since Apple themselves are GREAT software developers. Keeping it a closed platform has its advantages.

The iPhone is following the model set forth by current iPods where third party games are commissioned by Apple.

i wonder whether the iphone can be brought into planes. it doesn't have flight mode yet eh?

Reportedly, the iPhone does hv flight mode...

uhuh..how come i missed this one . nvr read the specs carefully..lol

guys check this podcast

http://mrbrownnetwork.com/media/mb/tmbs-07...o_singapore.mp3

the link doesnt work. or is it due to limited bandwith? but anyway, whats flight mode?

Yes that's accurate. The reason being Apple can set guidelines and control quality of the 3rd party products. It's a good thing. You won't want you iPhone/iPod crashing on ya, would you?

The link fine. Just now i try click again, it's works.

Hmm.. flight mode is like switch off the network functions (calling/emails/sms..) and you can use your phone as normal mp3/mp4 player, AKA turn into IPOD

I think Flight Mode is a great idea.

what is Flight Mode??

4gb oli usd 499.. reasonable price... love it

nice phone asia will oli can get on 2008 usd499 with reasonable price

*cough* Do you refer my previous post? And it's still on this page

YA! Please read it carefully. USD499 and 2 years contract with Cingular Reasonable price.. yeahh...

first i also like "wow..only 499". then realized that it comes with 2 years contract meaning the price of the phone is larger than the price they stated now.

it would be sucks if the phone comes here contract-tied with malaysian telcos. 2 years on a contract is quite dangerous and if screws up, will end up with all the 'hutang'.
