After the price drop, I managed to get myself an Iphone !

This actually a huge leap since my last phone :




It has been like almost 3 - 4 years since my first handphone. After a long long wait, it feels so good to be able to get a sub RM1500 that won't have much better option than an iPhone.

So I don't know how to review this or anything, but for my first 10 minutes experience I shall say the activation is pretty easy and neat. Enjoy the pics !

My simple review on first few days with the iPhone:

1. software stability : so far everything is flawless. Safari works well, iPod have no complain about it. Other's such youtube, google map, weather everything works fine.

2. ease of use : This is my 2nd phone since 3 years of using the red Nokia (hav no idea what series, perhaps 6xxx ?). With my lowest knowledge in phone I still manage to figure out how to use it in minutes. So typical Apple user-friendly product.

3. signal strength : Signal strength ? the best provider in my specific place is indeed AT&T so it has been awesome. Wifi works almost everywhere I go (there are Wifi all over the place here) except for some places that doesn't have (and I will needs EDGE then). Online has never been so flexible and such addictive.

4. built and durability : So far no complain coz I got no guts to throw or do any durability test. Have seen ppl drop it tho (on concrete/tars). Nothing not even a scratch.

5. battery standby and actual usage time : Pictures above prove this part. Rite now Usage is about 5 hours 18 minutes with batt half full or half empty. Standby total of 14 hours 46 minutes. Call Time has current period of 2 hours 37 minutes. Average max batt life was told from 6 - 9 hours of non-stop calling time.

6. screen quality : Screen is small (used to laptop) but good enuf for a phone.

7. voice call quality : haha watch AT&T ads u will know how..


There are pros and cons but some of the cons are not even applied to me personally as I am no phone enthusiast. I will say this phone is good for common users or internet junkies; but still lacking more features for high-end phone enthusiasts. Nothing to worry, 3G iphone is coming out real soon. Seriously for me, this is more than enough and that means good news as I don't have to fork out few hundreds more (thousands RM) just for features I will never use (GPS, MMS etc). The only things that bugs me out is the ringtones. However at their site they mention that the ringtones customization will be available real soon. So I shall say this is a good buy and I am satisfied with it ( I risk it and I was really afraid that it will disappoint me, but so far it keeps on impressing me).

UPDATED:

there are more and more simhacks for free out there. To name a few google iBrickr or try nullrivers.com

I won't be posting alot about that because the softwares work varies with the user self-preference. For example one who use AT&T but just want 3rd-party software like NES etc, would only need iBrickr for his/her iPhone. And just for that type of user, he/she still has options whether to choose EDGE with carrier (AT&T) or not. So that means u need to find a software to disable EDGE. I have not gotten into simhacks yet as they are useless for me for the time being; not until I need to do it that is.

Plus, the updates for Wifi stores icon is here by now so, don't know if that will caused problem for like relocking the iphone. So far I am using the iTune 7.4.2 and nothing have change by far.

hmmm... if they officially luanch the 4gb model here and still around rm 1500 ...

i would grab one too ... look at the size of the screen man ...

good for music, pictures and videos ...



but is it stable yet ???

It is very stable. Apple had just released iPod Touch and it's almost the same as iPhone's design infact the phone menus. Heard that we can use 3rd party iPhone apps on the iPod Touch as both runs Mac OS X and they use the same binary on those devices.

iPod Touch is another version of iPod right? i thought it is another iPhone lol

wah!...you bought iphone already...congrats...
guess...you got another cool gadget here...its "the most wanted phone"...
do drop by some reviews about it...how well the touch-screen thingy?...

wah!!>....so so lucky..

but he in da US wor..different story la..

but still must congratulate him..hheheehe

CONGRATULATIONS!!.....

Well you can see the big AT&T Bag over there, so definitely it is a ori set from US

Anyways, it looks really good >_<"

look cool
XD

I doubt they will, as the price cut for the 4GB is due to them planning to phase out the 4GB version and stick to the 8GB version (or was it because the 8GB version is selling too well and they want to push out the 4GB stock?) ....

I forgot...

LOL

Anyways, anything that is launched officially in Msia will be overpriced , especially when it comes to mobile.

it would be almost 3k

how much is it...? where u get it also..i am so intrested..

where u buy?
