After reading so much about it, finally got my hands on the actual unit today (not mine, but my friend's) The screen is really to die for. Believe the hype - it is that amazing.

Currently, only can use the iPod and Web surfing via Wifi features.
Phone features, not yet.

Had a nice time playing around with it last nite. Video streaming from apple.com is awsome. Movie trailers are sharp and streams instantly. Click on the link below for the test drive.

Bladox, closed their eShop after receiving too many orders for their TurboSim. I wonder how long will it takes for China or Taiwan to come up with a cheaper replica? Meantime, back to the waiting game for the iPhone Dev Team.

I understand the excitement and anxiety of those who are eager to get the iPhone working here in Malaysia. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers pertaining to the iPhone. Hope it will help:

Q: How do I get an iPhone?
A: Buy from Apple / AT&T store in US or eBay

Q: Will I need to sign a 2 year contract with AT&T?
A: No, you don't.

Q: You mean I can just walk in an Apple store and buy the phone alone?
A: Yes

Q: Really?
A: Yes. But you gotta pay taxes on top of $399 for the phone

Q: How much?
A: About US$50 (for the old price of $599)

Q: Is there anyway I can get away without paying tax?
A: Yes, if you are Steve Jobs

Q: Do I need to buy a TurboSim to unlock the phone?
A: No. Use the free iUnlock widely available on the net.

Q: Which local telco supports the phone feature of the iPhone?
A: DiGi and Celcom works flawlessly. Maxis, no call in.

Q: Is there any way I can get Maxis working?
A: Call Maxis and try your luck.

Q: But someone mentioned here Maxis works flawlessly.
A: Then you ask him to do a live demo on video for ya.

Q: Are you sure?
A: Yes. Am using a 3G card for Maxis. It can't receive calls.

Q: Will non 3G cards on Maxis work?
A: Just tried with a non 3G card - Nope, still doesn't work.

Q: Are you using Prepaid or Postpaid on Maxis?
A: Prepaid. Both 3G and Non 3G prepaid cards.

Q: Maybe it works on Postpaid?
A: Good question. Maybe others here can confirm this?

Q: Will future updates from Apple re-lock my iPhone?
A: Most probably yes.

Q: How can I avoid that?
A: Do not update your firmware or iTunes

Q: Will YouTube works with iUnlock on the iPhone?
A: You gotta hack the iPhone feature on your own. iUnlock just unlocks the phone.

Q: How can I hack the YouTube feature?
A: Visit hacktheiphone.com for a step-by-step tutorial.

Q: But the iUnlock tutorial is so complicated.
A: Wait a few more days for a simpler GUI version.

Q: What's a GUI version?
A: Basically, a version with buttons you click to unlock

Q: Cool! When will it be available?
A: Check gizmodo.com for updates
