I'm free today and tomorrow, so if anyone wants to take a look/testdrive on the iPhone 3G, feel free. I'll be at Starbucks KLCC 3rd Floor, going out now, and will be there until my Dark Knight session today at around 2100. Look for the guy with an MBA and a Bose QC3 headphones, you'll need to speak up though, the Bose QuietComfort 3 cans eliminates outside ambient noise.

Free tomorrow as well, so anytime is a good time tomorrow.

I've subscribed myself to MobileMe, so the push features are in place. You'll understand that I will require you to wash your hands and clean them first before touching it, I've been wiping it clean since I've got it myself to keep it looking nice and shiny.

I'll leave it up to you for today, going out now to get some makan. Anybody's interested tomorrow still have enough time to arrange time and place in this thread.

Your call.

Batman Forever? That Mr.Freeze crap? *vomits*

Last batch of Batman movies before Batman Begins are self-parodies, a joke onto itself.

The Dark Knight is more like a crime drama than a superhero movie. Love how they portray the internal conflicts, the struggle and the origins of Harvey Two-Face. Intense, real and compelling.

The only thing I'm gonna say about that question of yours, Apis, is that I have someone waiting for me in LA. I value my privacy, after what had happened before.

@stringfellow,
You sure are kind & generous! Unfortunately I've work today so unable to make it to KLCC - U haf fun though

PS: I can't believe U got ur hands on the iPhone 3G so fast!

Why everyone forget the 'K' lah?

Tink, I can't believe it either. But opportunity knocks, and I chose to answer the call.

Excuse me while I stuff my face with some Briyani.

fuyoh..loves to go over & have a look but I'm working today...too bad

@stringfellow,
I'm jeeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllooooooooousssssssssss.... Btw how much did U get the iPhone 3G for?! I know there's a long reservation list (if U get the right posting) but but but anyway I can pull some 'strings'?

What's with work on Saturday? Extra hard to earn the cash for iPhone? Crap I'm so envious.

My journey, the hardship, the struggle,the hurdles, the anticipation, the moments, the joy,........all chronicled at this thread, Tink. Head in there to read my sad obsessiveness.

NZD1129 is the number, and it's fully unlocked.

wah. like this also can. better have bodyguard with u to prevent thugs from stealing ur phone
u need to construct a terms and condition of ur self if some1 accidentally drop it or something while test drive ur phone... just in case

On second thought, this may be a bad idea.

I'll still be here though, but I'll be keeping a close eye on you, a.k.a you'll be chained to the tablestand when you're inspecting it.

Actually, nobody knows until they look closely, it just looks like previous gen. iPhone, or an iPod Touch. Not until they see the back though.

String, u mean u gonna sit @ Starbucks til dinner time? Wow. What can you do for so long?

People-watch.

Even if I'm stuck at home, the most I'd do is laze around, rolling on the bed and do nothing. Better get up and go out, than that. I'm addicted to the net actually, you can give me a Mac and an internet line, and I'll just sit there happily doing my stuff. If you know where to look, the Net is just like Kinokuniya, only bigger.

I'm trying to kick the habit of confining myself inside, and go outdoors. Do something, walk, read, window-shop. You can get lots of ideas going through your mind this way. Or meet new people and make new friends.

aih string... Y klcc??? Come cineleisure and watch.. Coz tonight I will be watching dark knight there... And I am near to Sri damansara since my training conducted there... Tmr u will be in klcc too?

Now everyone come up to me and ask ," is that the latest iPhone?" hehehe I should change the icon edge to 3g lol!!

Cineleisure? Brrrrr.....too many enemies and unpleasant people I dont want to bump into there. Sorry.

U tried out AIM on iPhone oledi? I tried it out on my iPod touch and i love the chinese hand writing recognition. Hope next time App Store got MSN messenger client

Wat's yr ichat ID, U online now ka? Can share yr ichat video and show me yr new "baby"?

Low definition lah if like that, Neekun. Sure can, but are you sure you want to do it that way? Plus this in in public woh, I'd look like a dork showing the iPhone to a webcam.

neekun kenot tahan liaw. hoho

Neekun, it's just me, I hate video conferencing unless with people I know. I tend to ermm......how do you say, "over-control" myself in them. It's that "when you look in the mirror" effect thingy.

Siawgu u r rite, i cannot tahan liao hahaha!

String, hehe ya hoh Better don't later those sitting around will surely be staring at you with that look on their face haha. Anyway, add me to your iChat if you are online, my .Mac id is same with LowYat.net.

UGPM, Neekun.

Oh no,usually i will go KLCC every saturday or sunday.but later need to go out for meeting...but string when you going back to your country?

My country? States, you mean? Most probably December. Malaysia my country also, only I hop between the two these days.

@stringfellow,
Aren't U getting enough attention from just the MBA alone ?!

Will go through the thread in a bit; btw have U written a review on this new phone?

I think you can get the review here
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/743861

This is string personal thread for the iphone 3g...for the MBA...FOR SURE people will look at him..

Okay lah, next time, I bring out some beaten-up Acer to Starbucks. If the Acer can run Mac OS X and light as MBA, that is.

My own impressions are in that thread ff8ong posted, Tink. Comes with the unboxing and GPS video. Careful on the GPS video though.

@ff8ong,
Thanks - I'm still just going through the other thread stringfellow started re his Journey on obtaining the phone - 13 pages !!! *bonkerz*

Eh.. I just realised it's the same thread !

string.. if we have a chance to meet at KLCC or salak tinggi erl station.. let me know lah ok? hehe.. i am near kota warisan there.

Starbucks downstairs full of idiots. Smoking in air-conditioned area, just because want to use the power strip. I dont anyone smoking, but just keep that cancer to yourself, please.

Always pass Salak Tinggi on the way to work. Cant stop though, I always time it so that I arrive at work without rushing.
KLCC is always fine by me.

What the heck is the MBA? Married but available?
All that aside, i think its a good chance for me to rob him of his 3G iphone...

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... Watch out if there's any guy staring at you with weird on his face that looks like he's gonna rape you..

MacBook Air =MBA

I thought so, with those crazy responses of yours.

I've got a secret weapon though, that OSXman guy? You need to go through him first to get to me. And remember, he you.

oh crap.. Not the osxman!!!!
Damn you!! i hope he's not lurking around this forum anymore..

Boring night.. I am sitting outside my house and viewing the forum thru Safari..

Oh yeah, talk about safari.. Is therr any improvement?
like support for flash lite? ?.?

Stringfellow does it for the Msian community (to drool on) =P

Can I plan an assault and steal it from you?

Lets see.. I need a distraction.. Flash bang should do the trick.

If you mean the Mobile Safari on the iPhone 3G, still no.

I'll just wear my Oakleys then. Ears already covered with the Bose.

Damn, woke up today with a sore throat, too much cold drinks I guess.

aww...sad got work
i'm around that area also...lowyat nia..

haha wat time ur leaving there? i got alot of assigment wey haha if finish abit then i jalan over there haha

GPS on GoogleMap says you are too close NOT to drop by.

Oiii, bring your iPod Touch, we download 2.0 and jailbreak it. Can use my MBA, but of course, anything happen sendiri tanggung okay? Even iPhone Dev Team give no guarantees.

I think no matter what, I'm still leaving for makan. Nobody cooking at home.

Who wants to be the first to do the Firmware 2.0 unlock on their iPhone EDGE? Can pinjam my MBA to do it, but you bear all the risk and responsibility lah, I only give you the tools, you press all the buttons.

Plus, I'll see if it works smooth enough for me to warrant upgrading my own old iPhone.

u bring ur MB with u? nice. and maybe i wait for the windows version tools and new installer 4 is out and see how the sambutan. and 1 more thing. how ur feel the difference using the 3g iphone now string? just wanted to know coz ur the only 1 owned that aura of iphone 3g

Maps/GPS and REAL games makes a real difference compared to the old iPhone. I turn on the GPS every time i get the chance, and Scrabble is my most played game now. Scrabble even have achievement system, which awards you Gold Stars and unlocks more difficulty as you progresses.

i see. so the game that u played can be installed in 1st gen with 2.0 firmware? just curious

Definitely.

wey wey wat time u leaving lar? lunch ar?

About now I think. Need to get off these clothes, mandi and cabut. You got my cell number, text me la bros!

because of the white iphone, I'm selling off my psp slim soon to fund my new found love

mr. string..
till wat time will u be at starbucks klcc?

Already here. And don't call me Mr. please. Otherwise I call you Tan Sri, Dato or Your Highness. Stringfellow is just fine.

@string

if my 1st gen iphone already update to 2.0 firmware. can i sync your paided apps game?

u gotta try it man!
let us know the result

I hope I don't get you wrong here, let me get this straifght. You want the apps I paid for, loaded into your iPhone....... for free?

Even so, once you sync back to your Mac/PC, it will be gone.

This post has been edited by stringfellow: Jul 20 2008, 01:34 PM

hehe...just asking ...i wonder the apps u paid can straight copy to the phone...if there's no security for this i think soon will come out torrent with loaded of paid apps

The purchased apps are tied to the iTunes account which it was bought. Only on that Mac that it was authorized to share with that you can share it with 4 other iPhones/iPod Touches.

Otherwise, one guy buy, the rest leech. Apple AppStore tutup kedai in less than a month.

wow iphone 3g on tour!!

Not just here for people-watch, I'm testdriving all the MobileMe stuff as well. Currently uploading all vacation pics to the MobileMe Gallery and updating iCal. Then see if the Push feature really works.



.....and MobileMe crapped on me. Damn you Apple!

Added on July 20, 2008, 2:47 pmHere with Sevn, so excited to get to jailbreak his, only to forget one thing: iPod Touch. Kena beli the new firmware. Damn!

A heavenly aura must be surrounding you in Starbucks right now. Apple products never fail to have that effect.... Grrr, the envy's killing me, especially since KLCC's out of reach today

Mate, you should seriously take some shots of your setup in-store now, or even better, a live webcam broadcast. Although, the sheer load of overwhelming LYN traffic would kill your MBA, hehe. Kudos to you, mate! Great offer to the community.

So any preety looking girls or guys looking at ur phone?..

don't worry... you'll get an extra free 30-day extension mar due to their problems.
hope to see your MobileMe sharing with us over here soon....

can't wait for it.... you are always so kind to share latest info with us

Meet up offer expired, and with the Tumpang creating more owners of the new iPhone 3G, you'll be testdriving it on your own iPhone 3g. This thread have served its purpose, thread is now closed.
