at the moment, i have to said, UK o2 sucks. why la have to wait til some time later for them to have prepay set.

my contract is too new to have a new contract again.

it is unlocked. got confirmation from my operations manager juz now (he snagged one for his wife) and he said the phone is running fine with his south african simcard. but only for voice and txt, no data because vodafone disabled the APN for non-Vodafone contract sim. Even prepay Vodafone sim pon kenot use the data. kedekut giler. boleh2 nak suruh orang sign up on their crazy priced plans.

I LOVE YOU MAN!

Looks like I can straight away use it without unlocking!

You're not with Vodafone, are you? I'm getting my buddy to the Citylife Hotel Vodafone to get the iPhone 3G 16GB. Would be a relief of my worried little head if you're there, so you can help him out on the purchase. He's not that well-verse in the crazy plans and contracts and pre-conditions of getting an iPhone 3G. He should be arriving tomorrow at noon, but I'm sure he's taking his rest first before either buying it later that evening or the day after that. Can you of any way help? I'm just worried that he couldnt secure me a unit.

vodafone in NZ is ripping off customers! Have u seen the price they offered? U better check it again and i am pretty sure u will be surprised!

Yup, I'm working for Vodafone in Westfield Downtown, but we have no iPhones left. According to my BDM, Apple only allocate 3000 iPhones for the launch (thanks Apple! ) and we sold all of ours (40 units) this morning. They were all gone by 12 noon.

buying it outright should be no problem, although some stores were advised by those greedy bastards up in head office to not sell them outright. kalau cakap awal2 tadi, i couldve saved that white 16gb for u.

Since like only OVERSEA forumer have alot of thing to talk about...

Local forumer can only wait..wait and wait...

hey guys i want ask something...
i have a old iphone..
then i want buy a new one.. i mean the 3g one..
is it already unlock ? then can we use our sim card ? i mean like maxis , celcom .etc
how bout the price ? where we can buy it ?? thanks alot

It haven been unlock YET,but i think it can be unlock very very soon.About the Price you should prepare RM3000 for 8GB version and RM3000++for 16GB...Just around that...You may try to find in our GS..maybe some one can bring it to you..

is advicesable to wait after 1st batch , the price will drop pretty fast .

drop after 12months?

First batch here means early bird iPhone 3G units to be finish and the stocks be replenish. Sometimes first batch units have problem, just like previous first batch iPod touch that has display problems so Apple fixed it with better quality screen on second batch units. That kind of thing, not 12 months.

HTC Diamond =iPhone Killer =D

The whole idea of activating the phone in stores at the point of purchase has proved to be a bad idea, lots of stores having server down and Apple's server is overloaded. Some customers have been told to go home with the phone unactivated. Looks like we need to hold off firmware 2.0 for a couple of days more.

Did'nt I posted that price already? NZD1129 = RM2787. How is that ripping off customers? Your Optus AUD929 (RM2914) is more expensive than that Vodafone NZ price! Australia and New Zealand dont share a currency, brader! Now you better check it again and I'm pretty sure YOU will be surprised!

You can hold a unit? I thought no savey-savey? Now I'm worried that my buddy would have trouble getting one. Please God please please please!

i wonder when will be the time they discontinue iphone 3g and come up with another one? then i might go get one like how i get my 1st gen iphone...

lol.. malaysia style: last minute~!

it wasn't last minute but unable to follow the recent technology .

From rumors that i see Maxis will offer the iPhone 3G in Malaysia at a competitive price below RM1,000.

SOURCE

But isnt tht u need to pay for the unlocking fees as well. Of coz I know AUD and NZ currency r not the same, in fact AUD is very strong now, the strongest in 24 years. What i meant is the price of plan in NZ is so much more expensive than Aus.

No quotes, nothing. I call bullshit. Just a fabricated story intended to drive up site traffic.

Does a phone plan matter in this case? You are getting outright no-contract phone, so the point is moot. The most relevant issue here is what is total amount to pay that people like me and most of others here in this forum, who have ZERO intention whatsoever in getting onto a plan, and only interested to get the iPhone only.

Who gives a *bleep* how much Vodafone or *insert company* charge you on a plan, I just want the iPhone to use back home. You yourself only cared about getting out of Optus's own plan by adding that AUD80 into the final figure on the first page,and I quote:-

So what's all the sudden big deal about "price of plan in NZ is so much more expensive than Aus"?

DO the math and for getting the iPhone OUT of a plan, with no contract, like i posted before, it is much cheaper to get it from Vodafone NZ than Optus AU, NZD1129 VERSUS AUD929. Not all big numbers translate to "being more expensive", with the Malaysian Ringgit being much more competitive against NZD than AUD.

Next time, please bring more relevancy to the table rather than simply adding "price of plan in NZ is so much more expensive than Aus". Most if not all of us here are not interested on getting shacked by a contract plan OR using the iPhone at the place of purchase on that contracted telco, we're only interested on getting the iPhone as cheap as possible OUTSIDE a contract.
