means that the only ways is to ask your friend who stay in LA ( or maybe others countries, where the iphone sell there ) and sign contract, then dun use the line..? lol, how bout that, huhuhuhu....

Haha it's a contract, use or don't use, you still have to pay every month. And unlike last time, you now have to sign up on the spot. There's no getting by it this time, AT&T has wisened up. There is a way, and that is to get the carrier free version which is available in Europe but it's gonna be expensive.

That also means that the 2.5G version can still command a high price, higher than US$199/299...

besides the bluetooth is still unknown(as in a2dp and file transfer)... 3g iphone is pretty much a deal breaker... $199 for 8gb is definitely a hit in oversea... sadly sampai ke bolehland... harga pun RM1999 or higher...

how about giving as a "gift"

dont got wat loop hole

199 with rebate over contract lerr..

Haha, you know what, suddenly I'm glad I DIDN'T wait for the 3G iPhone. It's gonna cost a bomb now to get the unlocked version since there's no getting past contract activation now. Our best hope is for one of our 3 carriers to strike a deal and bring it in officially..

lol if someone who will sell it within that price, will definitely get a lot of profit from it,2x profit from the same price...



p/s: bro gengstapo, hahaha, yeah, im the one that think it was AT&T logo, but it really nice, i will make it later, the AT&T logo on my iphone...

no front facing cam~!

Country with 3G iPhone

Where is Malaysia ...

It's not a good deal after all....only looks good on paper

Btw, does anyone know a direct download link to the keynote?? Online stream qtv very the slow la....


Thanks.


Cheers

starting $199 for 8G, $299 for 16G .. so cheap

but with contract and no deal for others = ='

Yup! Saw that too... Kenya and Madagascar get it too... and we... we dont...

I always wondering why the calling screen is different from mine ..

nvm go to our neighbour SG to buy ~

that just made me feels like living in a fourth world country

Malaysia is always last when comes to technology .. sigh ..

I guess it's time for those that are making money from imported iPhone is relief that Malaysia isn't choose for the released ..

need contract ler

its because of the telco problem here....they still haven't manage to come out with a solution and could be the telco didn't want to pay for the phone subsidy...

And also, phone subsidy in Malaysia is virtually unprecedented. The only one I can think of is the RM300 rebate or something that Maxis did during the 3G promotion a few years back but that didn't last very long. So if iPhone's launching in Malaysia, it's gonna break the mould and hopefully, the carriers will start embracing this business model and we'll get to see subsidies for other phone models in the future!!

.... Or not...
