I dont know if I have posted it here or the doomed "Tumpang" thread, but to future owners of the iPhone 3G, you may want to set the "Push" feature on MobileMe/iPhone 3G integration to "Fetch" or "Manual Push" instead.

Why? I had the case of spotty 3G auto-updating the Contacts and iCal, only to have it updated half way. The result? All my contacts come up with their names only, no phone numbers, addresses, or the notes tagged to them! Apple have been struggling to bring MobileMe up to speed, so the advice is to stay vigilant and do this manually. Or better still, dont "Fetch" or "Push" at all, but only update your Contacts and iCal appointments when you sync. This may not be an ideal solution, particularly to those on the move, and wanting MobileMe "cloud computing" to work without the need of having to be infront of your Mac or editing massive amount of data on tiny iPhone keyboards, but the way I see it, that's the safest bet.

Anyway..if i get the iphone 3G from NZ i know is fully unlocked from the box..
Can i activate it in the shop during purchase?

I want to go somewhere for holiday but not sure..
Never been to NZ..
Anyone know any good/cheap tour there?Haha

Activation is wholly up to you, just as long as you activate it using valid iTunes accounts, preferably accounts in countries that already have iPhones. I used US iTunes account to activate my NZ iPhone, Psyeo uses his NZ iTunes account. Both works.

Umm...i see..
Only NZ sell iphone unlocked straight out the box?
What about italy?
Do they sell iphone straight out of the box unlocked too?

Yes, Italy does.

But looking at how strong Euro is now, would you like to take that chance?

What do you mean take that chance?
Anyway..i'm nearer to italy because i'm studying in Moscow..planes there are so cheap..
I checked the flights to NZ...its so expensive..

I mean, the fluctuating foreign exchange. Euro can easily climb up against other major currencies, and inflates the price (based on RM) further.

That was the reason why I asked for actual NZD currency for my Tumpang, before it was doomed by "malicious forces".

Ahh..i understand...569 euros for 16GB..Well..if you convert using an online converter its about RM2910.96
Plus minus i assume it will be maybe RM3-3.1k maybe?
Still its a choice..
I can't go to NZ...its hard..

Yup.

Dont quote me on that though, that info about Italian iPhones being unlocked may be a few weeks old. You need to make sure of that yourself, by researching. I'm sticking with the NZ alternative.

uih, mana ada hero. biasa2 jer

anyway, im finalizing the 8 soon (takbleh cakap date, later ada monyets tak puas wanna ban me from iPhone thread plak) and also planning to attack other voda stores for the final 7.

btw string, juz now there's a guy bought a 16gig white from me. Malaysian, working with MAS jugak. He got a Malay face but with Indian name. Dunno if you know him or not, but he said previously he bought one for a fren. Now he tak tahan oredi so bought one for himself . If all goes well, he might buy another one tomoro.

Anyone get iphone from Japan-Softbank ? I saw some forumer sell Japan phone in here. How they get it in ?

You are a hero, in my books.

LOL, my poison working! Even the stalwarts are caving in. Gonna check the master roster on who's in Auckland today. Thank you for looking out on the other 7 left bro, possibly from one of your company branches?

Japanese iPhones are locked AND only available after signing up a contract with Softbank.
