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. |

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.

Apple makes revolutionary products and always bringing in new technology to the world, that's what I like.

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. |

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 !dun u think it will drop here?it will probably drop till rm13/1400.

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