I've been using AP sets for awhile biggrin.gif Haven't had problems before biggrin.gif

Granted Mots/SEs/Nokias are a piece of cake to unlock nowadays, but I have full faith in those crazy phone hackers in LYP/Sg Wang to crack the iPhone soon after its release.

So, anyone want to join me on my trip to the US in June? Visit the 5th Ave Apple Store, drool at the iPhone, maybe even buy one? biggrin.gif

phone hackers in LYP/Sg Wang? are you sure? they use program/hack/services provided by developer/hacker originate from europe/Russia, not that they do it themselves.

its fair to say you are not completely sure unless you live in those countries [:
apple has worldwide warranty so im not too worried if anything happens [:
dang, do u think u could get some peripherals for me there =P

i agreed with allvin this time. most probably it will be contracted/branded/locked to some telco in uk. most probably vodafone as always. not 100% sure yet but i stay in uk, hence that is my speculation. somemore, there is rumour going around that apple had already started to look for telco for the iphone in europe now.

so if it is branded/locked and contracted to some network, it really need time to crack and unlock it. and as always, apple stuff is not that easy to be cracked and it is the first phone by apple, no previous experience on apple phone by those hacker/developer etc, it gonna be long. and by the time it can be unlocked (maybe), iphone has reached asia for long. (e.g. most nokia bb5 platform, cant be unlocked yet until now)

some info from hardmac

QUOTE
Prices of both iPhone models released by Steve Jobs during the Keynote, 499$ for the 4GB model and 599$ for the 8GB model, could be the price for the subscription-free device. When signing up for 2 years with Cingular, iPhone models would then be available for 299$ and 399$ respectively. This information remains a rumor, and one could also question it as such price would cannibalize iPod sales. But maybe it is the goal...


hope the rumor became real/fact. then we will have cheaper iphone.

yep, most of the time it will be with contract. The unlocked phone there seems to have higher price than normal.
But just take O2 line, their phones accept any sims

contract phone doesnt have to be locked to any network. with contract, you can get a lot of phones for free. but for sim/contract free phone, unlocked set is more expensive than branded or locked phone. not all o2 phones are unlocked. o2 xda and pda phones for examples are locked, doesnt accept any sim unless unlocked.

Yes, the US$499 and US$599 are 'unlocked' iPhone version so chill out guys!

well it is just a rumor at the moment. non-contract phone/sim free phone still can be branded and locked to network.
