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! rclxub.gif

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... sad.gif

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

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

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 shakehead.gif how they hike the price arrogantly...

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

Added on June 18, 2008, 12:03 pmdear all, pls read all posts with open heart.

my decription of trap- traders keeping stock b4 new 3g announced. then after 9th june, there r limited stock but sky high price.

why when ppl sought for new set b4 9th, everywhere sd no stock.

My reply was a personal view too. I never did stop you from expressing your opinions. So there you go, your freedom of speech. And my earlier reply was also an exercise of freedom of speech. So cheers.
