Hi. Let me update wht is happening in australia. Sydney apple store just opened last thursday but the iphone is nowhere to be found in the store but according to the staffs in the genius lounge, they will sell the iphone 3G in apple store too starting 11/7 other than vodafone and optus store. And the price for both prepaid and postpaid plan for iphone 3G is not released yet by vodafone nor optus. But optus already stop receiving deposit for the pre-order coz the number of pre-order already reached 10,000 which optus said they dun have so much stocks on that day. And for vodafone, about 60,000 already pre-register it including me. tongue.gif So the 1st iphone 3G in the world will be released in NZ due to the time zone and follow by australia. Customers who pre-ordered it and paid $100 as deposit can go to the store at 7am to collect it. Vodafone Australia is definitely going to sell the iphone on prepaid plan which means that it can be unlocked (unlock fees may apply) as under Australia laws, no mobile carriers are allowed to lock the mobile without giving the customers the unlock code. So we just have to wait and see how much is the iphone will be sold outright in Australia. wink.gif

hahaha...i'm just feeling weird actually. not emotional hehehe...

btw what's weirder is why O2 put the tariff page on Pay & Go and then took down that page? something mysterious is going on here hehehe...(or myb it's not that mysterious afterall)

IMHO, maybe apple or o2 have not come to a decisive conclusion on the profit margin

Added on June 29, 2008, 3:22 amor perhaps, they are waiting confirmation from various network providers globally to "synchronise" the prices taking into account dollar to dollar differences and cost of living standards.


just a thought of course. any sorts of feedbacks from the users here would most certainly be appreciated. smile.gif

If you total up the contract, prepaid fees and everything, you need to pay about hkd9200 for your 8gb iphone 3g, so you might be better staying with your 1st gen iphone which is less than half the price.

i was obviously joking. i am thinking of another method to get my hands on the 2nd gen iphone

If i call my friends to buy at US then call him to courrier to here...then custom will wont be checking right?
so i can waived the tax and sirim...thn only paid the shipping fees~then will get more cheaper phone
correct me if i am wrong..

that mentality is too naive im afraid. the custom people are not retarded either. if you have dealt enough times with dhl, fedex, tnt etc, you can actually see on the form, the number of stringent controls that they have to go through. parcels from abroad usually arrive in klia during the wee morning hours and spend most of the time in the custom depot for clearance.


whats the point of even having a custom checkpoint if everyone can just declare their purchases abroad as "gift"? frankly speaking, i have friends all over the continents, but of course im not crazy enough to risk doing your proposed method.


of course, i dont deny that you might get lucky sometimes, but the risk to take is absolutely at your discretion.

the same concept with blackberry phones as well (though there are apps to overcome this). you will require an active internet connection for the map to load as the gps triangulates your position

If i buy from ebay is it the tax and sirim charge needed when send it to Malaysia?
I think is it the custom wont check it?OR...
correct me pls.

IMHO, might not be worth taking the risk.


buying from ebay and shipped internationally can be quite dodgy as the seller can easily point the fault to the postal system (point of origin or malaysia) or customs etc.
