I've owned an iPhone before but sold it few weeks ago and planning to buy the new iPhone 3G ASAP.

iphone 3g isnt release yet.it's july 11. hw can u buy asap.

he meant he gt iphone not 3g iphone..

Going to the nearest Vodaphone Australia and getting my hands on the IPhone 3G

wth is going on!? i cant see malaysia here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/countries/ but i can see philippines and singapore and it's just so mean!

Most prob no telco in Malaysia agreed to carry the phone.

Malaysia no point. Our 3g Infras sucks.

Why would Apple bother. I doubt Maxis even made a proposal.

Blah, thank god im in australia.

malaysia is worthless anymore... screw malaysia
no iphone
oil increase
G sux..
shit land

Selling for USD $199 only, I wonder Nokia/SE/Motorola got any same price range phone to fight with this new iPhone?

I also hope Malaysia oil increased rather than oil price increase. And what is G sux? 3G sucks?

Omage. Plan phones and retail priced phones cannot be compared .

In australia, N95 also 200 Aus, but you sign for 2 yr plan. same thing with Iphone.

Oh come on, many of us have set their eyes and previous owner love their iPhone so much and began to be thinking other phones are no ball game compare to the iPhone, including me. It changes everything that you would think about a mobile phone. Your statements to me like, you have not experience or try out iPhone? Once you use it, you either stay on it or upgrade to new iPhone without looking at any mobile phones anymore.

Even if Nokia N95 is gonna be priced at RM599, still would say move on.

(Btw, HTC Touch Diamond is a no ball game phone to me. )

Mweh, half of you dont even know how the 199 came into play >_> . zzzz

It's the data plan offers by telco that adds the heavy burden price, $199 is just starting point.

But it is sure will be cheaper then the previous version iPhone, maybe not 50% cheaper as announced. . . I think we should be able to see it at the Garage Sales here with price below RM1K months later. . .

i highly doubt it . you will never see a <1k iphone 3g in malaysia.

I can bet my life on that.

yup, I never try out iPhone before, only read it on the web. . .


what is the price for the current USD$399 iPhone now at Malaysia??

ppl on lyn ? selling it for 1700 ++ .
In sg wang 2000 ++ .

Maybe since singapore, our closest neighbour is goin to get it via singtel, we will start seeing it soon. probably at 1500 ?

But i highly doubt we will ever see 1000

hope to get cheap price iPhone in sigapore singtel

No point for U and me to predict the price here, got a thread at the Garage Sales section >> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/585325, months later then we will know. . . but of coz the launching price sure will be jack up a lot by those kaisu buyer coz the demand is over the supply, so I am taking about the [normal] stable price after 2 or 3 months. . .

Give my old iphone to my wife and get new one for me.....kawtim.......whohahahahahah

$199 sounds cheap, but u have to look at the whole picture. Iphone has to be sold with contract of minimal 18 months. In US, AT&T has raised the price of the data plan from $20 to $30 a month. AT&T's profits will drop over the next 2 years because of their subsidy to Apple, but they expect to show gains by 2010. They should expect a large number of new customers with the new $199 iPhone.

So Iphone 2.0 cost much more then just $199 USD.

ask badawee help loh,if not will cause more people migrate to singapore.lol

then please GTFO off this country. u're not contributing anyways so we don't need you.

some people never appreciate what they were given.

chill man, cool laa. hahaa..

well well, i decided to stick with my current old skoll iphone here. its been serving me very very well.

Mine too. Maybe save up that money and get myself a PS3 instead.

same thoughts here. contented with my current iphone

old 1 keep and user once in a while..

new 1..buy and use in a while

New one .. main line ... old one .. 2nd line ..

im gonna get mine from the nearest Optus store when i get back to aus in july.. wooot.. iPhone here me come! i am thinking of putting down the deposit to get the iPhone.. hehehe..

I'm not going to get the latest iphone -- i don't think its worth the money. One, it will be extremely difficult to get a hold off because of whole contract-deal thing. 2. the new features it talks about doesn't really appeal to me -- yes 3g, but if you're on a campus with wi-fi most of the time, who cares? And the GPS isn't even a real GPS, its ASSISTED-GPS -- I have a feeling it gets your coordinates from cell towers.
3. It doesn't seem as durable as the old ones, especially with the plastic casing.

The only things that really appeal to me in the new iphone are 1. larger space -- 16 GB is godsend, I need more space!). 2. the earphone plug in isn't depressed like the stupid first iphone.

Apps and the rest can be used with the old iphone with a firmware update, so I'll be all set.

I'll wait for iphone 3.0. In the meantime, I'm saving up for my macbook air

Another tempting feature of the new iPhone is the battery life.

i dont think i would buy a 3g iphone . i'll wait for all the 1gen owners to sell off their one.

i wont go below rm1k.

you have to understand that usd199 or the gbp99 price is on-contract price. with o2 uk, you will get the gbp 99 for the iphone 3g only with gbp 30 per month contract for 18 months. so do still think that you can go in, pay usd199 or gbp99 and walk out the shop, so that you can sell at lyn for rm1000 with abt rm300 profit?

Prefer to buy 2nd hand 1st gen Iphone...lol...

i know how u feel when u heard bout 3g iphone..anyway ur iphone still in the best condition,my staff love it.

YgHampadanKecewa3Giphone!

Is it cause Mac's not popular in Malaysia thats why Apple decide not to launch iPhone here?

The sales figure not up to their par/expectation?

it is more likely that apple failed / no interested to strike a deal with any telco in malaysia.

besides we dont any apple store in malaysia as well.

Glad your staff enjoying the phone. I'm not surprised about the new 3G iphone since I got news about it months ago =).

A-GPS is real GPS and it's better than GPS

not if you're in the woods without a cell phone connection. So that means you're pretty much SOL if you want to take your phone out of the country as well, it means you can't use it if you don't have coverage.

Right now I'm using a Garmin Mobile 10x with my Palm, I can take it ANYWHERE as long as I take the maps, it has point of interests, and you don't need a constant internet connecting (i.e. use of google maps).

And BTW, from the link you gave me:

The Assistance Server can locate the phone roughly by what cell site it is connected to on the cellular network.

I'm sorry, but for routing, roughly doesn't cut it.

well not every A-GPS require cell phone connection, not sure bout the iPhone 3G.



But i do agree that google map requiring constant connection will be a problem, hopefully Apple would allow 3rd party app to replace the google map.

I just read a news from Italy telco that they will be selling iPhone without contract for at least 700USD
