hahahahha.. but i understand that the phone some seller already declared that it is locked unit...

hoho, that would be nice if they sell it by that price, and if they sell it by in that price, it means that they have "lubang" to get the iphone.. ?
but, IMHO ( humble opinion only), they will sell it with high price since the "HOT" 3G iphone have a lot of admire when they saw it "selling at $199"...

  anyway we just wait for the actual price then, if the 1.8k and 2k+ is still not change, maybe i want 1 to.. ( its GPS ooo, i want GPS phone.. )

seller?
mean got 3g iphone in kl ady??

i go spray my aluminium case to whole black color.hahaha
3g version

this reminds me a lot when the first gen iphone came out, when it was not compatible with maxis (loads of problems, early users can testify towards this).
as much as i was compelled to purchase one, i had to wait out as i do not wish to join the crowd for the sake of it, or subscribing to an other network etc etc etc.
hence, only once maxis managed to sort MOST of its problems out, only i felt more relieved to purchase one.

with all the enthusiasm and hype about owning the latest 3g iphone, one easily be blinded to place an order and proceed to put a deposit without being rational. IF IF IF (i repeat IF), he/she has every intention to con or cheat, he/she could be very very rich with all these deposits.

i mean, it doesnt take a genius to devise a plan out.
lets take this seller's scenario case for example.
i can put this thread up, saying that i have some "lubang" in china to obtain unlocked 3g iphones but limited quantity (lets say 200 units) in the next fortnight. however to confirm your reservation, i need rm200 as a deposit directly into my bank account. i am very certain that within the next 48 hours, i will obtain a perfect 200 buyers and a cool rm40000.
and i can safely plan my getaway as i have 2 weeks to lari to mainland china (ironic i know). ha ha

desire to get one wen Steve jobs said d price is 199usd.
but nw 599usd for no-contract is extremely damn f***ing high expensive.
damn apple

u can get the iphone 3g for usd199... just go us and sign the 2 year contract...

Seaedge just want to mention that the only way to get the Phone with Usd 199 is that,

not asking ppl to do that....everyone know that no At&t here..

i predict those dudes bringing in 3g iphones in light of the newly announced price without contract are gonna set a cool 3k or more pricetag for the 16gb version since its 699USD. top it off with the usual compulsory 10% tax required for electronics purchase in the states and shipping costs, be thankful if the 16gb doesnt cost more than 3k here in malaysia. the sellers here will definitely wanna make a cool 500-600 per phone, since they actually started charging 2.3k for a new 1st version 16gb iphone when it first hit the shores(unlawfully) here, which was like a cool rm500 profit, considering that the exchange rate at that time was 3.4. do the maths (rm2.3-18**)

no prob. in a dilemma now, not sure whether to keep my 16gb or sell it away and get a new 3g version. but i'm definitely not getting it from any of our local sellers, looks like have to ask a friend who's in a country with iphones to mail or bring it back(if he comes back) to me.
