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.
