Can you purchase any more iPhone now with the recent restriction imposed, now that's the question. Apple refuses cash or gift cards, only credit cards for a reason. When i bought mine using credit card in Florida, they asked to see personal identification document to identify the card im using matches me. Showed them my passport and it went from there on. Now with these restrictions, once they see that the credit card is no longer US-based, they will refuse the sale.
I've a colleague going to LA end of this month, also planning to buy the iPhone for himself (after a lengthy poisoning session yesterday  ), so we'll see if he gets through with his Malaysian credentials/credit card. Unless someone else can verify this earlier than this, with their own personal experience. |

Which is the reason why i said before that getting the iPhone early has its advantages. Now, our iPhones are considered rare? Or you have to wait for the European iPhones, and hope Apple left them hackable as their American counterpart.

Good work, pspfan!got this from modmyifone.com tried it and it works like a charm.. no more itunes deleting ur ringtones -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the iPhone-Elite members posted a method for patching the MeCCA framework binary to allow for custom ringtones. Source: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/Ringtones111 I followed the instructions and am just releasing a pre-patched MeCCA file for easier use. All credit goes to the iphone-elite team! I patched it using XVI32 (a hex editor) Instructions ------------------- 1. Backup MeCCA file located at /System/Library/Frameworks/MeCCA.framework/ (I renamed mine to MeCCA.bak) 2. SCP the included MeCCA file to this location 3. Set permissions to 755 (I used WinSCP to do this) 4. Reboot iPhone 5. Copy your m4a ringtone to /Library/Ringtones 6. Change the extension of your m4a file from "name.m4a" to "name .m4r" NOTE: THE SPACE BEFORE THE DOT IS IMPORTANT, IT'S WHAT THE PATCH LOOKS FOR 7. Go to Settings->Sounds and select your ringtone.

Tomorrow's the day. DO NOT update your iPhone to 1.1.2, or otherwise, it mutates into an iBrick. You have been warned.
Im again taking a wait-and-see before going the update path again. The iTunes 7.5 have interesting features waiting for the updated 1.1.2, including Disk mode. But until the unlocks are made stable and working, i'll let others be the guinea pig. |

Voice recording is already available , albeit via Installer. Not in my hot list of most-wanted features though. I carry my cable everywhere i go, which makes Disk Mode an interesting proposition. Charging the iPhone everywhere i go with it now, since i carry my Macbook with me everywhere i go as well.

QUOTE(tishaban @ Nov 8 2007, 11:21 PM) I used to carry my Macbook and previously my iBook with me everywhere too, but with the iPhone I find that I can do pretty much 90% of what I do on the computer with the iPhone. So the computer stays home, the iPhone gets charged using my car charger and I'm so much happier Should be made clearer coming Macworld next year. It's either that or the EeePC for me, for a trifecta of WinXP-MacOSX-Linux goodness. Still waiting for that subnotebook though... |

QUOTE(=Hanxz= @ Nov 9 2007, 12:38 AM) that day a auntie came over to test some things out and she took out her iphone i was awed and dint manage to ask her what casing she's using but it's something that can be detachable in the middle black in colour pretty thin plastic and feels very very durable anyone knows what it is?   Like this? There's millions of scratches on this case of mine, but the protected iPhone remained pristine within. P/S: I'm not an auntie.

In the States, im afraid. The 4 curled up edges keeps the clear case in place nicely.
I think i may have seen it somewhere else though not the exact look. Still a clear case. Cant remember where though, it may even be in stores i've been outside of the country. Im sorry, memory have been poor lately, been eating too much steaks and not enough fish. |

Tried updating via iTunes, it still identifies the 1.1.1 as being the latest update. Using this on a Mac though, any luck with those on Windows?
There are no way to discern between iPhones with newer firmware, based on the production week, unless the guys at Hackint0sh starts compiling again. I have a colleague going to LA end of this month, and he's kinda worried himself if he's getting 1.1.1 or 1.1.2. We shall see........ |

*raises hand*
Been using it since its RM99 days. Was trial-testing this between Celcom 3G to see which one suits me, and this wins me hands down. I've been burned by false promises on speed of 3G/HSDPA from Celcom to even bother with their nonsense. Hadnt have much problems with Digi since, apart from having slightly more patience waiting for the pages/download to finish. |

QUOTE(Valendia @ Nov 11 2007, 02:18 PM) As heard from friend, Mac retailers are already accepting orders for IPhone due to arrive next year and is priced around RM1700. No need to hack your phone or wadever liao ! Catch is you have to pay the full amount up front la ..... *drools* Sigh, if i get 10 sen for every rumor and hope-posts like these, im already a rich taukeh already. Tell you what, if this does come through, i'll buy you one. Deal? The condition must be it is RM1700 and no need to hack. The consequences of Apple selling the iPhone at an unsupported region, and at THAT discounted/subsidized price will have disastrous effect on other areas .We will have influx of foreigners coming to Malaysia just to get that cheap of an iPhone and unlocked too, from the way you worded it. So please, be logical. *goes back to lie down, feel so very tired explaining this over and over and over and over and over and over and over.....* |

Those keeping up with the scene, there is a new app on Installer called Sysinfo. This app allows looking at what processes are running on the iPhone and terminate them if needed. This is especially useful when it comes to problematic apps, such as Internet Radio that i had installed a couple days back. Had it uninstalled, but pretty interesting to see what the resources are being used for within the iPhone.
Tap that Installer and get installing! |

Run the app.
Tap "Processes" and pick the stubborn app that you want to kill. Mine was the Internet Radio that slowed my iPhone to a crawl. Uninstalled that bugger. |

Link or proof of this allegations of yours , or it did not happen. Anybody can say that and spread rumors all around. USD399 or RM1400 is the subsidized price, an unlocked version as you claim will be significantly more than that. Hell, even the legitimately unlocked French iPhone is said to be more than you claim here.
My offer still stands, I will BUY you ONE iPhone if it is RM1700 & legitimately unlocked by Apple themselves. Listening to FUDs spread by uninformed low-level lackeys from Switch is not a wise or a reliable source of information. Everywhere else around the world are waiting for their regional launch and you claim we are going to get it first before them? What a load of horseshit! It's no wonder the Apple veterans around here grow tired with the nonsense spewed around here, and gave up posting here totally, thanks to the steady stream of nonsense like this being posted. Hell, if it's RM1700 and Apple-unlocked ,i'll buy another one for myself just for shits and giggles! Added on November 12, 2007, 3:39 pmIf it is OFFICIAL, where are the news links, articles and such? If this is embargoed information, I can easily report you to Apple for breaching your NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and you'll get into more trouble than you care to imagine. All this talk of "I hear this from someone remotely working with Apple" is getting on my nerves! Apple Malaysia is nothing more than a subsidiary of Apple Singapore, and if anything, they (Apple SG) would be the one breaking the news first, not Apple Malaysia.

I am more than glad to proven wrong here, for the sake of us users. In fact, please let me be wrong so that I can afford another iPhone, with no hassle whatsoever when it comes to firmware upgrades. But as I said , the chances of seeing this happening is nonexistent.

Read my post carefully. I'm standing by my opinion that chances of that happening is zero, but if it does happen and I am proven wrong, I am perfectly happy as well. Why? A second unit for me with ZERO hassles updating, and everyone else who waited gets their own affordable iPhones as well. Win-win situation.
I am not bashing, I am expounding the realities of this world we live in. A lot of those hoping and pining on the notion that Apple would even consider a local release here are pining their hopes on things that would not happen, based on current existential evidences. Yes, you can hope and dream, but living your life on illogical dreams is not healthy. |
