Guys, think practically. wink.gif One way or another, Apple and its telco comrades will receive a good RM2-3k from you in the long run, it's just a matter of how. The $199 price tag which lies below the RM1k mark is only the beginning of 2 years worth of monthly subscription plans. which at the end of the day will accumulate to a sum of no less than RM2-3k, the same price one could ALSO opt to pay to NOT have to be binded to the 2-year telco lock.

TS, bear in mind that the RM3.4k price tag you saw is due to the fact that the iPhones you can acquire locally are parallel import sets, which in other words mean they came in through 3rd parties without actually being brought in locally by an authorized distributor. Hence, the additional costs which include shipping fees, high taxes by the customs as well as SIRIM certification, in terms of the iPhone.

My advice? Don't be surprised that when and IF the iPhone officially arrives here, the acclaimed below-RM1k price tag will also require a 2-3 year contract with a specific telecommunications provider like Maxis, of which the monthly charges will easily surpass your current phone wink.gif

Bringing it here and selling it for below 1k would certainly require us to be bound contracts. So we pay a significant amount anyway. But the difference is the hardware is officially brought in here so there would be less hassles should they arise. And I think a lot of us are waiting for that
