or should we wait for the official release?

definitely warranty is a big issue.. and i heard can't update it if its cracked too right?

but when official they'll probably have us tied to some telco

u continue wait la if warranty really that important

while we are enjoying the fun

yo brader.. hanxz urs 16 gig or 8 gig? pm me

can update.. there are ways..
put it this way, if u want a new phone, if u already have the money, just get it..

features are not to par as another phone priced the same but i guarantee u that u won't have the same experience as u have with the iphone..

the touch interface is really revolutionary.. no other phone in the market can do what the iphone can..

if u want it, if u can afford it, by all means, get an iphone

i spoke to the store manager form machines today, he mentioned that the iphone is reaching our shores in June, so i guess better wait lor, at least it'll solve all your worries about warranty, this and that

wow, that's really a great news. yup, if it really comes here, it is better to get the official ones. It will be easier to deal with warranty and any issues arising from the iPhone usage. It is also a far better way for the not-so-tech-savvy to get an iPhone this way, as they don't have to meddle with unlocking procedures and the hassles encountered while doing restore.

and for the adventurous ones, we still can get this iPhones without being tied to the contract first. Yup, if it is introduced here the same way as the other countries that Apple has brought the iPhone before. but if we are forced to do it (yeah who knows?) we still can do a contract termination. But of course if it is as the same way as the US, the contract termination fee will be superduper crazy.

mmm...i'm just hoping that it comes here without contract. or at least country-locked.

Really looking forward to June 2008! Gotta start saving money now....

If you don't mind me asking, which machines outlet was this? I can't believe a store manager would say things that are not even confirmed.. You guys better not get your hopes up too high

machines ins Sunway Pyramid outlet

since when that store manager become Steve Job? Buddy, just rumors la but more like a bu~shi to me . You can only know when Steve Jobs announce it.

does iphone comes with international warranty?
coz IF it's reaching here by june, then we can just restore back the phone and take it to apple outlet here for warranty in case anything happen to ur phone.

I don't really think that Apple will offer the iPhone in Malaysia.

As I know currently the discussion between Apple and APAC telco providers are AIS (Thailand i.e. parent company is Singtel), Singtel (Singapore) and Optus (Australia i.e. also owned by Singtel).

could be rumors, could be real, just saying what i heard.

he also mentioned that it wont be locked and it'll be free for all, starting price at RM 2,500

but please don't quote me on this information, as others in this forum might know better;)

where's babyk when we need him for confirmation
he's the one i know working relating to apples ahaha not oranges

may be the store manager is Steve's relative ...

That's a total rip off (well as usual, Apple products are expensive everywhere except US), might as well get an AP set lol (read: import from US).

I'm saving up money right now, and preparing to ask my friend (US resident) to buy one at apple store without AT&T contract, and ship it here. Hopefully got friend travel to US and bring back...

lol.. maybe he import himself and give the so call warranty for rm2500 .. lol

i wanna ask ah...is Iphone a PDA phone? i wanted to get a PDA phone but no one can attract me more than Iphone...anyway, can Iphone include those word pad or excel?

it is not really a PDA phone, it is a convergence product. it still can't edit Excel files but all Office stuffs and also PDFs can already being viewed under Mail application as attachments.
or maybe the real applications (Office files editor, etc etc) are still yet to come. maybe u need to wait after the SDK release, maybe then a lot of applications will be written for the iPhone (in the meantime the applications are still unofficial).

its not a pda phone .. lol.. just a phone with full touch navigation.. we have notepad.. lol.. but cant transfer to comp.. ~.~.. its basically an entertainment phone..
