Great info compiled in that chart. Too bad we dont go to Switzerland anymore, namely Zurich, otherwise I'd already be salivating for a chance to get one there.

This month only got trips to Paris and Frankfurt, so my chances of getting one would be from there. Not immediately expensive, but not as cheap as previously either.

Been checking around, there dont seem to be any contract-free iPhones available from T-Mobile or Orange from Germany and France. Unless comeone can point me to the right place, looks like I'm out of "Apples" from France's "Orange".

RM3900-RM5200, that's brave of you.

As for your question, that depends on how the IPD guys respond to firmware 2.0. There are saying that they are getting reasy with the unlock, but those unlocks IIANM are based on 2.0 beta/SDKs, not the ones coming this July 11th.

I doubt the demand will outstrip the available stock. Remember, being an owner of the new 3G iPhone now requires credit checks, and that is up to RM5000(after conversion) required for that 18-24 months contract. Unless an insane number of super-rich people i dont know suddenly decides to mob the stores, the stocks will be more or less available, especially to the stores in new iPhones market. Older markets like US and UK, would be harder to get because previous owners can opt to trade up to 3G with renewed contracts, so they would be competing with new prospective owners who will sign up with new contracts.

Or I may be wrong and eat my own words . Either way, I dont see the frenzy of getting the 3G iPhone be as substantial as the first launch.

Not really. Most if not of my Paris excursions are to the valley, namely Marne la Valle, also known as Parc Disneyland.

I'd associate romantic with a cruise from Stockholm to Estonia during summer. The lakes and melting fjords are really a sight to see.
