i have been following for the price of the current iphone since end of may and really furious from firstly, stock shortage before the 9/6 annoucement, then with the reason of stock shortage, there goes the price rising then some handphone traders even set sky high price for new 8gb at RM2800!

i understand the business profit but can they really get a buyer at that price for a new 8gb?

anyone here bought at that price...?

i thought of getting one for fun rather than wait for the new one into town... but, the price is getting unreasonable, i will say...

wait. just wait for the new one to come

2800?
simply crazy. go lowyat la, i think lowest can get around 1.8k for 8GB.
better wait for new ones to launch first. then when they figured a way to bring in without the need to be bound to a contract, then surely the 1st gen iphone price will go down to clear local stock

ermm now been thinkin to grab one .. coz my n93i rosak liao .. ahaha ~ btw why the new 3G Iphone no videocall ==" ... T_T

do you currently do video calls?

for me, even with current iphone, i dont use the EDGE and i wont use GPS too...
so the new iphone and current iphone will make no difference to me. i believe in due time, the current iphone can be loaded with their 2.0 version software and unlocked again as well.

ah ha...u wont believe it! i went to this IT mall in PJ, asked a hp stall for the 8gb price... wah lau erh... the sales person veli slumble and action said RM2800 FOR 8gb!! reason- NO MORE STOCK JO LO...

then sunday i went low yat...16gb for RM2600...

i think is a bit unfair for that price as every1 well aware all those in the market are actually OLD STOCK!!! LEFT OVER STOCK that waiting to be cleared before the new 1 come...BUT YET....i cant accept how they hike the price arrogantly...

just really really wonder...does anyone paid for that price? huhu...

New iphone 3G brand new will be cheaper than old version.

says who? can you predict the future? because if you can, please let me know. i need to consult you on some matters.

well some resellers do markup up their prices a tad too much, trying to snare some unknowing buyers. don't trust a plain currency conversion to give you a sense of how much the iphone 3g is going to be sold on this side of the planet though..

yes. strongly agreed that no 1 can forcast d price of d new 3g. until it appears solidly in front of u!

that's why I am still hunting for used iphone now....

any1 can get for me 16gb...

I am so fed up of checkin on d drastic market price lo...tiring ...

my mom bought my iphone from riyadh for rm1.6k..

I went to lowyat last saturday .. and everyone is selling 8Gb at 2100 at least ..
16Gb is 2400 lowest ... sigh ..

Now who says 1st gen iPhones are going down the drain?

well...d current iphone may b sought after now by some ppl like me...

but once d new 1 came out, I am confident tat many owner will put up their 'old frame' for sale...

so let' wait & see lo.

okay so that means my iphone can fetch a higher price now. woohoo!

wc3, how much are you gonna offer for a mint condition 8GB iPhone with standard package?

prices are soaring, the iphone is stil oh so exclusive

though lookin for iphone but I won't be swayed by d unsober market manipulation.

yoyo panasonic88, gimme 16gb not 8gb.

I am still in my sober mind and will not fall in those trader trap of getting a white elephant iphone then later regret after d new 1 came into market.




time will help d good samaritan ...hahaha

Hehe...fighting for price ka...

I'm just waiting it to be launch at Singapore, then i will cross the Causeway..

Quite true la, they are selling for a sky high price. But try to think back, even if our local seller really manage to bring back 3g iphone, after they go through every step, like, termination fee, shipping fee, custom fee, earning and etc, a new unit also should be around rm2.4k for 8gb ( my prediction only, pls dont flame me).

So, i think my 8gb 1st gen still have it's price, perhaps, get some old stock 1st gen iphone now and try resell it later?


Dont think they will launch it within this yr. Perhaps next yr 2009?
