IMO,dun get the iphone now.
my advice is wait for another month or so.
coz when the new iphone 3g launches,the price for the normal iphone will drop like shit
now the price still expensive.thats my opinion,if u wan get it now,u can do so but i feel that its not worthied.

believe me...it wun drop. iphone price now consider cheap already. Max = US500 (16GB) for this kinda technology. even cheaper than N95 when 1st launching bro. u think iphone will drop to rm1200 meh. Local traders also got alot stock in hand. nobody will do that

im sure it will.Now iphone price dropping in UK n US.
dun u think it will drop here?it will probably drop till rm13/1400.
After the 3g iphone is release,if the traders dun let go their iphones with a better and more affordable price,then they might need to makan sendiri already.

For those "waiting" to buy the 3G iPhones, I have a question. Are u assuming that its gonna be unlockable with the current available methods? Knowing Apple, I don't think its gonna be "that" easy this time.

The only thing that will set us back on the 3G iPhone will definitely be the battery life, battery life & battery life.

Currently we moderate / power user have to charge our iPhone on a daily basic.
IHMO, most likely 3G wouldn't even last a full day.

Fren, he is right. All phones will drop prices if its true for iPhone. Up to u. U can wait 6mths or 1year then u wait lor. For the actual 3G iPhone to come here wun be immediate. Any PDA or HP launched in UK/US also take at least 6mths to launch here. Your choice man !

surely it will take some time to reach but then malaysia are quite fast.

I'll say around 1-2 months after the official launch date.
