update: stocks coming in tomorrow! (but only 18 piece, nice.... ) and online stock is now back as well.

bro string, no worries man. i wish i could've done more, but it was fun nonetheless. i guess now we know: you want an iphone outright, do not buy them in the city

and also an update on reliability, got my first "locking up" iphone today. it just stays on the home screen and do nothing else. i hope this is not common, but at least the warranty claim is pretty good. return, and get a new device in 4 days.

oh, the store you got it from is an FM ke? bangga ler camni, hhehe

anyway, DiGi ngan Celcom should be fine too I guess. I've tried it with loads of SIM (O2 uk, E+plus germany, and some weird Brazilian sim i got from this really hot chick ) and all of them seems to be working fine.

Jeng jeng jeng!!! New stocks!!



Anyway, in 4 weeks i think people should be able to walk into any Vodafone stores (not those greedy DS and StudentIT though) and buy an iPhone outright. We got massive cancellation today (there goes my commission )

Jangan cakap camtu, kecik hati Meizu

OT skit, i heard its coming out next month, ick!

uih, tok kok lah dat guy! where got lock.

people, again, iPhone sini tarak kunci kunci ok. cucuk any sim, and then cucuk into itunes, TARA! can use oredi. and with a little tweaking (without voiding the warranty), can use data summore.

tell ur uncle, sepak jer muka dat sales guy.

eh, how can black compare with black like dat.

hehehe, i know what you mean, but cant help it. gurau je eh

hopefully iPhone 3G Ultra Super Duper Edition nanti got multicolor like the Nano, baru best skit.

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.

im still pretty much in the dark at the mo' coz i latest batch of iphones are not here yet! we should've gotten it yesterday, but dunno what happen.

just in case you're interested, previous shipment of stocks came from Hong Kong (i checked the packaging myself) and prolly that is the reason why our iphones are not locked. New shipment, not sure, but I'll update as the story develops.

and when psyeo told me iPhone technical support told him he got to go into a Vodafone store to unlock his iPhone, i was like "WTF???"

i have a feeling all this locking/unlocking thing is pure bullshit, trying to scare off people from buying it outright but im going to investigate it nonetheless.

update: got an email from my boss, stocks came in today!

but, not without a chilling note at the bottow of the email. OUTRIGHT SALES LIMITED TO 3 PER PERSON, CASH OR EFTPOS ONLY! CONSULTANTS PLEASE BE AWARE! VODAFONE IS TRACKING OUR SALES.

feck! not sure im going to spin this to my manager, but it looks like im majorly fcuked right now coz i need 8 for you guys!! more update later.

Sorry for the late update

Anyway, the phones are definitely unlocked. YAY! New shipment is still from HKG and i dont know which biznatch updated the Apple website saying our iPhones are locked.

Okeh, so I talked to my manager about it. Unfortunately, he wouldn't let me hold the 8 unless I show him the money. He said, first come, first serve. Fair enough. Since I have nothing at the moment, I have to wait until string gets here. We got loads in our latest shipment, but I cant say how many (sorry guys) because we are saving them for customers signing up onto the iPhone plan. Words are flying about that my boss is going to announce "no outright sales until 30th september" at our next meeting. This is so not looking good. Apparently one of our staff sold 6 outright last week to a single customer, and Vodafone is making a big stink about it, even considering pulling the plug on our store so that we cant sell iPhones anymore.

So u see, my job is at stake here. I still can sell them to you, just that I can no longer do the "holding it for certain people" unless i give them some sort of bond. Anything more valuable than the 8 iphones would be my life, and im not giving that one away.

okeh, was in contact with string juz now. first of all, i would like to apologize if any of you that might not get the iphone in this tumpang because my hands are totally tied. tried everything to get as much as possible, but due to voda politics, monetary problem and a very very bad judgment, some of might have to go iphoneless for a little bit longer.

i did manage to save some, but i cant say how much or you guys might kill me. I shouldnt have promised anything in the first place. Not much i can do right now, coz like i said before, my job is in jeopardy. One word from head office and im out of here for breaching code of conduct.

As of now, we are not selling them outright until the iphone brouhaha died down. This is all absolutely embarrassing and I would like to apologize again for getting your hopes up.
