I mean is the official iPhone coming out to Malaysia? Now is the hacked one

I believe YES , but when it will happen

only God knows

iphone launch in malaysia is a joke" go buy the hacked one instead"

I need a comfirmation.. Because I'm afraid that I'll regret getting the hacked iPhone after the official one comes out

don't think anyone can give you confirmation....

Just buy it... no regrets.

official o not... im just think the price 1st ... not offcial also OK for me

Just wait when Steve Jobs announce

" IPhone will come at Malaysia soon "

Oh god... not another iPhone coming to Malaysia thread.... no one uses the search function and uncle google anymore these days huh?

Please stop creating such useless thread before you use your brain to think about it.

+1 hahahaha, yeah... Ppl like to talk it over and over again, haiz

Sorry.
I heard the official iPhone is going to have 3G and more feature or something.

What you have to know is, if there is an official launch in Malaysia, there would be 2 scenarios: subsidy or no subsidy

If there is no subsidy, the price is gonna be mad high, definitely won't be the RM1800-2300 you're seeing now. More towards RM3k...

If there is a subsidy, you're gonna have to sign a data plan for 2 years or something, tying you down to a carrier, can't enjoy 3rd party apps and also customize your phone although version 2.0's app store might have rectified that by then.

If you don't sign a data plan and want to unlock the phone, you will void the warranty. Which is what you'd have been doing anyway getting it now!!


Which leads to the ultimate conclusion.. JUST BUY IT NOW AND DON'T THINK!!!

hahaha...if the iPhone is really coming to malaysia, it will already being featured on news. just look at Singapore, it's only rumour but already got news coverage!
btw no one can conforms it as for today.

no one knows when will it be launched officially here.

This is a forum mah, if got nothing to talk, then all forums will close down.

Seriuosly, IF iphone comes to Malaysia officially, the telco offer you the 8GB iphone with a 2 year plan and the 16GB iphone with a 3 year plan, will you go for it?

it will take forever to launch in malaysia.. so just get the heck 1 if you really want an iphone

Sg = September
Malaysia = Later or A LOT later than September

What data plan what 2 year? Sorry I don't get it and why can't enjoy 3rd party apps? 3rd party apps like?

Haha thanks
Also.. I don't get it. What 2 year plan 3 year plan

it means that in order to get your iphone, you need to sign a contract with a telco
that contract will tied you with a particular telco for a certain period
except of course u want to jailbreak then unlock your phone which void the warranty

I am not trying to be negative here but seems like many people just wanna own an iPhone just cause it looks cool and everyone here is owning one. They don't even know what are 3rd party applications or how to use them the correct way (how to transfer songs, convert movies etc) asking questions like "how to unlock/why is this happening" is acceptable however the ones mentioned above are simply unforgivable. In the end iPhone forum will end up like kopitiam.

Haha Vor, some people think its cool and nice to use. So they wanna get one. I love to use the computer last time, but I don't know. Learn lor.

So.. Anyone? What is 3rd party apps?

So far does anyone have any problem with iPhone or something? Some people complaining about how iPhone freeze, this and that. Maybe that is quite normal but does that happen often and to alot of iPhone users?

Anyone have any problems with iPhone now?

Yeah, there is a fatal flaw in the iPhone design. Users might not be able to focus on work/studies and will feel the need to touch it all the time.. Keep away at all costs.. Buy at your own peril!

Don't say I didn't warn you...

That is called a major flaw? Omg=.=

Good attitude but still google is the best answer

Edited : Yeah and another major flaw is the iPhone sarks lots of cash from yer arse ranging from accessories to cases etc hehe

vote for PR and they will be iPhone in Malaysia. maybe even our own genius bar in fact.

BN/UMNO are all buta iT people.

even Khaled Nordin ask me to unlock his iPhone for him...

Iphone wont come de la.. mati hati le

How you knew that? any inside info?

then vote for CHANGE

Errr.. I don't think the feeling will last forever Just like everything else. But of course it will last long, but not forever I guess

Anyway.. I don't really use 3G. Is it better if I wait for the up coming new iPhone? Other than 3G, what is comfirmed what will be applied other than 3G?

There will be no confirmation before Apple launched any products. Those info are veery confidential. And majority predicted it will only be a 3G version of current model. I'm going to buy one end of this month also.

What is the price for iPhone anyway? Do they have guarantee? I really hope my father would get one for me.. I've been wanting one since last year xD

Wow, you want one? Here's a tip: instead of asking daddy to buy for you, why not save up/work part time and get one yourself..

Nothing beats buying something with your own hands, especially when it comes to gadgets.. Hehe..

Oh, no guarantee by the way. If you have friends in the US, it will cost about US$420, but its location dependent, since tax in different cities varies..

In Malaysia, it's about 1850-2300 depending on seller and capacity...

Still studying =] Does anyone have any problem with their iPhone or anything?
I wonder what happens when my iPhone battery went dead. Can't recharge anymore

That will be very unfortunate for you. Happy sending back US for warranty.

i checked v da epi center in pavillion..dey say singapore will hv..but m'sia..dunno r..but da ting is..there is a 3g version coming up..reall difficult choice

not really have to send back to US
you can change it locally, but of course by 3rd party not by apple store
there is also some forumer here has successfully changed the battery by themself....

hmm..i m sure the iphone will come but as to 3G or nt..its another story

It will certainly be a 3G iphone if Apple wanna penetrate Asia market.

iPhone in Malaysia haha with telco lock hmm....have to convience MCMC for the terms and condition~~

i do wonder wat telcos will do when the iphone comes in..

i wonder what the "telco subscription plans" will be like..but den again..as long as its on our shores..i m sure there will be individual sellers with their hands on the phone selling it without any subscription plans...then that will be the time to buy!! muahahhahaha...ada warranty and dun hv to suscribe to any silly plan!!

Yup, thats right, there will be a someone that selling it without suscribing to any plan, and when the phone got problem or etc, then send to them( the seller) then they will repair it or etc....huhuhuhu....


p/s: i think steve jobs dun want to sell it because he thinks aboput this this i guess...

So means.. Once 3G iPhone reach Malaysia, the current iPhone price will drop? Which means it will be cheaper for those who can't afford now? *evil*

hmm..but he has nth to loose oso..all the cash goes bk to him mer..

hahah...yes yes yes...true true true..but me eyes still on the 3G 1..i hp that comes to M'sia..else jz b contented with the norm 1..well if it comes to M'sia of course

btw if iPhone finally arrives here, it will be easier for the non-contract iPhone users to get repair (of course la with a fee). not every people are willing to open and repair it by themselves, nor getting the spare parts from the net.

Well there's another topic talking about 3G iPhone coming out in 60days. Besides 3G applied on the upcoming iPhone, what else will be in the new iPhone?

If its only 3G... Its kinda useless for someone like me. I don't use 3G calling. I only use 3G to look at myself, and I rarely use it.. + the 3G camera on my phone isn't really good

i jus saw an ad in a shop in KK (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah) , selling iphone WITH APPLE's ONE YEAR WARRANTY!! is this possible? the seller said the lowest price for 8GB is rm2300...

the price on retail said

8GB - RM 2636
16GB - RM 31++ forgot oledi..

amazing, dint tot i could see iphone with apple warranty in KK first rather than KL..

isn't so obvious that its a scam ?

that warranty offered by the phone stall, not from apple. if got prob, they would help u claim the warranty from manufacturer

But the price,compare to current 8GB price mean extra another RM1000 to get that warranty.

hacked iphone is much better than the original iphone anyway.

interesting.. any prove etc?

huh?


why do you need prove? experience will do.

iphone will probably launch in Malaysia. According to rumors and sources singtel (one of the service provider in Singapore) had officially announced that they will launch the new 3G iphone when it launch. So Apple Malaysia will probably be affected. Therefore, guys don't make decision so quickly. Wait the new iphone to be launch.

have anyone noticed that celcom advertisement "the big is coming"...is it a iphone???curious!!!

hahahaa...hmm..but i wun buy it r..if its with celcom..

but hey as i said..as long as its in M'sia i m sure individual sellers wud be able to get their hands on it

no, i mean does the original unlocked iphone no way better than the forced unlocked?

ive never use the genuine unlocked version by apple

i dun tink anybody in this forum has..

Singapore Telco doesn't work the same as Malaysia's Telco if you take that into mind.

I believe the theory behind not having it here in Malaysia is due to the fact many Malaysians went overseas, get a phone they like, struck a deal with the telco, and quietly sneak home into Malaysia. Ta Da ! .. Free Phone ..

I went Sunway Pyramid yesterday. 1 of the Apple authorised said that iPhone will officially launch in the 3rd quarter this year in Malaysia...
n the price would be RM2K++.

kewL, by that time we might able to send our precious over apple m'sia for RMA

if the fact is true, what happen to our lyn member who had the iphone? do they need to patch or something to support local telco?

hmm now we using iphone here. dont have problem with m'sia telco

i mean, after their release the iphone in malaysia (maybe) it surely have a supported firmware for local telco but for us who have iphone earlier do we have to upgrade something or..

mmm...actually, iPhone is like any GSM phones in market. only that it's being locked to its contracted telco. that's where the unlock goes in.
so nope, looks like no "supported firmware" or any stuff alike that comes to your mind will be made available IMHO. in fact, all current iPhones from different countries are using the same version of firmware.

i think he might referring to "apple m'sia iphone version" which officially bring by apple m'sia later.. am i correct?

since its avail. locally, so, u seeking explanation bout "ori" unlocked firmware for m'sia telco carrier aite??

it's obvious that he is saying bout early adopters,
sorry if i'm wrong, i was approaching from the perspective of thought by some people that think "this iPhone isn't compatible with maxis blah blah blah...", the people that think they need to patch their iPhones in order to make it compatible with local telcos. not about the unlock stuff actually.

btw if it's about the official version, still it doesn't look like gonna happen soon because:
1. the real unlock isn't available yet for contract user. looking at the contract period of 2 years, maybe it will be made available another year at least.
2. it will be country locked. just look at the officially unlocked iPhones sold in in france and germany. they are still country locked. so technically, it's still locked.

and yeah, look at this case. iPhone was released first in US, and then when it came to UK and germany. and it still use the same version of firmware (same download, same install) in these countries, while they are locked with different telcos. and looks like the early adopters in UK (hacked iPhones) doesn't need to install anything "special" after it's already unlocked. and yeah, most probably Apple doesn't care your iPhone anymore if u illegally unlock the iPhone (and not signing contract if buying telco-subsidised units). why they want to release a patch to illegal iPhones? yeah unless it's a patch to lock the iPhone again hehehe...

but yeah, maybe i'm wrong.

Confirm - Iphone In Malaysia..

Iphone is confirm will not be available in Malaysia until End of year, malaysian can buy from Singapore or parallel from anywhere.

COMFIRM IN ASIA!!!

thanks LaskarCinta. i get the picture now.

really? is it coming to malaysia!?

btw i really hope that we also can have official version. and not tied with any contract / lock. and another important thing is the warranty.
but yeah if the price is right.

i dont think apple gonna do that, besides, the price shall be pricy if apple release it with unlock firmware

according to wat i read from gizmodo yesterday, Japan telco Softbank will be bringing in iPhone into Japan, so Asia 1st nation to officially having iPhone might be Japan

if iPhone is coming in into M'sia, i be glad to officially own 1, but yeah of course the price will be a bomb too, lets just wait how the pricing of the new generation turn out to be

it shud be official.... juz like the iTouch. the new iPhone is a worldwide release.

*smack* in the head .. it's not iTOUCH... it's Ipod Touch ....
and iphone it's not worldwide release ...

Ya,IPOD TOUCH

But he mention NEW iphone....maybe will worldwide but who know.

ok my bad iPod Touch.

iphone is not reaching malaysia fools.

http://www.apple.com/au/iphone/countries/

saw forumer start taking orders for the iphone 3G in garage thread ..

yes captain obvious.

i'm talking about an official release with local warranty.

it's not coming to malaysia... so you guys can stop dreaming, and start planning that trip to hit Singapore Singtel retail shops when it's coming out.

can't do so..
its activate on the spot of purchase...
means when u purchase it you have to sign up for a plan..

if only if you can get it without contract.

Mean now malaysian cant buy Coming iphone 3G and also cant get brand new current iphone.

Y are there so many different threads on iPhones?

not many,6 only mah...

exactly
we stuck in the middle..
old ones no stock, even if have, dealers won't be willing to let it go at low price...

new ones, need to activate on spot... we'll just have to wait and see what happens

hmm..i mean u guys realli tink no one will be to unlock, jb it again?

that guys an idiot because you have to sign a contract for the iphone 3g. apple won't be selling yout he phone without a contract signing on the spot.

Agree..You think just need to pay cash USD 199 and then balik rumah?NOWAY

hmm..hu knws? i mean no1 thought when the iphone first came in it would actually rch M'sia..but it did..hehe

i wonder if it will realli come to M'sia shores, either way(leagl or illegal)

bro, the statement of yours is very very bold.
when there's a will, there's a way

however i do agree that the actions taken by the particular seller in garage sales is too rash to be rational
no one knows what it's gonna take to get their hands on the phones yet not to mention unlock and jailbreak

only steve jobs knows what bootloader or firmware that its coming in, probably dev team gotta start from scratch again and it might even take a few months for that

lets hope its the current bootloader and we all will be happy, not only malaysians but the world

i agree with u Hanx...but i m sure it won't be long before iLiberty(2) or zIphone(2) will be out to "attack" the iPhone(2/ 3G)

have you seen the 70 countries they offer, omg malta madgascar? WTF!!!!

its such a shame we dont have it in malaysia, but its still pending, lets pray celcom does something, they rather spend money on robert pires, giggs and john fall down terry(damn stupid commercials) than to secure a lucrative deal.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/countries/

this is so damn annoying, grrr!

lets hope the new ones are easier to unlock , and that ill pick up a white one in 3 to 4 months time, for an estimate price of 2K and below (hopefully)

Bad news guys: Customers who purchase the iPhone 3G will have to activate it in Apple Stores or 30 days (penalties will be charged by AT&T). So you can't bring home a sealed unit, get me?

I do not know what new policy in regarding purchasing iPhone 3G. Unlocking, sure it will hapen.

A few months ago, when I was in the USA, I bought iphone (8GB) from Apple Store. No questions ask, no need to fill in forms. Just credit card, sorry they don't take cash !!! I think the trick is to buy it from Apple Store.

Come on.the new term is you have to sign a contract when you buy the new iphone 3G on the spot.

Mean if you dont have sevice,you cant buy the phone.

that was few months ago (like you said). Now is now.
