QUOTE(tayhaithian @ Jun 15 2008, 02:44 PM) i think for those distributer here , they might straight bring it in through US which mean just straight forward and not translation in between Euro or Pound etc . .................... So for those who couldn't get sweet grape and keep saying it's sour in taste keke . Okay, they might be bringing it in from the US instead of Europe. A contract is still compulsory so what's your point? Some people here are not being sour grapes, they're just being realists. |

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Jun 16 2008, 11:30 AM) If the plan is $50 per month, then you'll need to pay 22 x $50 = $1100. That's ridiculous. Why would they blacklist you if you pay "22x $50 = $1100"? If you pay $1100, you would have paid whatever you would have owed them throughout the length of the contract.They will be blacklist you, which means you will have hard time to sign up again in the future. The blacklist is shared by all telcos in the country. Btw, you are only eligible to sign the plan if you are the country citizen, PR, holder of work permit/pass or etc. You cannot simply sign the plan, pay for the forfeit and take the phone back to malaysia. To get out of a contract after 30 days, you just need to pay an early termination fee, which I believe is $175 after 1 month, and it gets progressively cheaper the further down the contract you are. I think if you sign up and cancel after a month, the total cost of the phone would be about $480. Of course, you would then have trouble signing up for another contract in the future if you do that. |

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Jun 16 2008, 01:02 PM) it's just like those prisoners who just finished jail life, do you think he/she will get job like any other people? The one I mentioned was for AT&T. i dunno your contract is refering to which company. please refer here for singtel's termination policy. http://home.singtel.com/consumer/products/..._conditions.asp I went to the link that was posted and nowhere did it state that the customer would be blacklisted after fulfilling the termination clause. It would be logical if the customer is blacklisted if he/she fails to pay any overdue amount/termination fee. However, if the customer pays the agreed termination fee, which in this case is whatever that would have been owed for the remainder of the contract, why should the customer be blacklisted? Your prisoner analogy is way off the mark in this case, I'm afraid. |

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Jun 16 2008, 02:27 PM) i didn't post the link for blacklist proof. Hmm yeah, because you previously said that the user would be blacklisted and the information would be shared amongst the different telcos which is not the case because there are a lot of cases of people terminating a contract early to switch to a rival telco. Yeah, oh well, no point being petty about it..well,maybe i should say bad record instead of the blacklist. |

QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Jun 18 2008, 02:37 AM) What improved wireless signal? 1st gen iphone antenna cover is also plastic la. The black bottom part, thats the antenna (wifi n cell). The aluminium back is just the casing like the old nokia titanium (correct aaaa?) phone. If 1st gen back all metal then the 2nd gen really la improve the signal quality. Correct o not? Erm right and wrong. The black plastic of the 1st gen iPhone helps a lot but the aluminum body of the phone creates a Faraday cage which blocks out/in electrical fields. So in comparison to the all plastic back, the signal quality of the 1st gen iPhone will definitely be inferior, for want of a better word, compared to the 3G iPhone. In fact, Gizmodo/Engadget writers who have played around with the new iPhone have said that voice clarity and signal reception is better relative to the 1st Gen iPhone (I think they did an on-the-spot comparison, not sure) so yeah, theory proven in a way.. |

QUOTE(terranova @ Jul 11 2008, 05:45 PM) I will take some photos when I get home and post it here later. Have both white and black versions, got it this morning. Personally I prefer the black. How much is the HK iPhone?The Hong Kong version is not locked to HK operators. Works on Hutchison non-3G SIM and also Smartone Vodafone. Will try Maxis later and update you guys. My Maxis SIM is not with me. The 3G version's physical dimensions are almost the same as the old iPhone, but feels smaller in your hand due to the bevelled sides and is lighter. But the black shiny back really shows up fingerprints. Took me a good 10 mins searching thru the box for the bloody SIM removal pin .... will explain later with a pic. Cheers. Edit - ok, just inserted Maxis SIM and it works. Now roaming with CSL on Maxis SIM. |

QUOTE(allspark @ Jul 12 2008, 01:30 AM) From rumors that i see Maxis will offer the iPhone 3G in Malaysia at a competitive price below RM1,000. No quotes, nothing. I call bullshit. Just a fabricated story intended to drive up site traffic.SOURCE |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jul 12 2008, 01:26 PM) Bro, I'm losing more and more hope of getting one. Today's Saturday, and the store closes at 1500. Sunday's close, and Monday opens at 0900, but my contact needs to get ready for work by 0950. Do you think the line will be long, because my contact definitely still see a line for the iPhone. Why are you so desperate to get the iPhone 3G? Did you sell your 1st gen iPhone?The line may be long probably because of the need to line activation while you complete your purchaseinside the store, right? How about for those who wants to get the phone outright, without a line at all? They should be allowed to make their purchase without having to line up with those wanting a contract subscription as well. I've already resented to the fact that I will not see my precious until next month. Checked Orange France and T-Mobile Germany, and both seems to not have no-contract iPhones available until later in the future. Damn all this wrong timing to hell! |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jul 14 2008, 01:56 PM) Things would have been INFINTELY easier if these bastards just man up and sell it as it is, rather than pushing that Vodafone crap down our throats! Dont they understand that nobody wants to subscribe to the most expensive contract on Earth (yes, this is true, calculate their cheapest plan and compare), I just want the bloody iPhone goddamnit! Goooosfraaabaaa....cocklea, cant you report them in? They are listed on the Vodafone NZ site, and Vodafone itself advertises the no-contract iPhones as being available at their stores, and that include these arseholes as well! Why the bloody fcuk are they pushing their stinkin' plan up my face, when I'm not even an NZ resident? Don't they bloody understand muthafarking English!? Yes, this is me, and this is my MELTDOWN. I'm so furious that these arseholes hold all the keys and people who want these things cant do jack $hit about it. No point getting upset over something you have no control over. I think there's a higher profit if they tie someone down to a contract as opposed to selling it outright and if they don't want to sell, nothing too much you can do. Especially since you're asking a friend to help you out, it's even more difficult to ask them to confront the store assistant. If you're still pissed, just think about how "meh" you'll feel about the iPhone 3G when you eventually get it. I mean, it's just a little speed boost and a-GPS no? You'll live. It's just the desire to have something you don't right now that's killing you. Worst case scenario: pacify your hunger for a bit with a FW 2.0 upgrade on your 1st Gen, hehe.. |
