There's a new policy now where users MUST sign up for a contract on the spot in the US. That means no more take-home-unlock-instead-of-activate trick. So there's a demand for the 1st gen iPhone. I think there are some going for US$4-500 on ebay. So if wanna sell, better be quick.. |

We should see some 3G iPhone's here because Australia are going to release the 3G iPhone on prepaid and there should be unlocked 3G iPhones in Europe because of the EU trade laws but the price would be higher.Also, there was this guy in garage sales who claims he has connections with ATT in US and can get unlocked 3G iPhone's so we'll see. When it comes to selling 1st Gen iPhone though, I think now is the best time: a) might be some people on ebay who still dunno about 3G iPhone yet b) US users who don't wanna be tied down to an ATT contract would want to go for the 1st gen iPhone instead. |

QUOTE Both the 8GB and 16GB version will also be available for pay as you go customers, with pricing to be announced later this month, O2 said. http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/ne...icle4102376.ece So there is a chance that we can just buy it, but probably at a very steep price.

Malaysia deserve better phone.. hehehehe.. applications like ebay, medical software and company specific softwares are highly used in those countries they are developed for. and not to mention the wifi hopping, which isn't really available in malaysia. malaysia is lack of facilities and utilization for iphone.
