honestly, i dont understand what u talkin' about

u can try stringfellow "bulk" if u need lesser price

but regarding the 4gb, there is no iphone 3G version in 4gb.. only avail. 8gb & 16gb

There is not iphone 3G 4GB at all..only 8GB and 16GB..
Its $199 for 8GB in US if you go under contract for 2 years...
Without contract is $599 for 8GB and that is locked...
Then to get an unlock model cheapest also in NZ for around RM2800..
So if you buy from ppl or course they wan to untung some la..

oh..ok...im wrong. thanks for information

just to add someting.. if buy in US, u kena tax lg..

i thought i'm not seeing this again.
looks like i'm totally wrong.

ya,can't believe until now still got ppl think about the Usd 199....

if it's price at more than $199 ...DO NOT BUY IT ... it's a scam ..

haha...everyone loves cheap stuff.

they still wanna believe it's $199

$199 is with contract.

IIRC Steve Jobs say its just USD 199 for 8gb and just 299 USD for 16gb and he did also mention "a maximum of $199 all around the world"

many people still believe in Steve Jobs' words. lol

Proof:

@maiself,
Just be sure the phones come unlocked otherwise it remains unusable here in MY.

wow how u do that? mind to share?

@LaskarCinta,
The key word is insider

sorry i missed that ultimate word. nyum nyum!

heehehe, cross my finger hoping he could get it more than 1. locked or not, doesnt matter - unlocked kit will be available soon, i guess

oh goodness, TS your comprehension is a bit poor. please read again whatever your source is

Guys, think practically. 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

Misleading is a key to all SCAM......

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

agree...

i got alot of insider also they say now is RM199 ady for iphune 3g...

tuesday i went to lowyat and my friend say someone bought 5 unit iphone3g at USD199 and it is unlockedable~ hahahahah i ROFL and ask him to show me the units...

This further endorse the golden phrase of "if it is too good to be true, probably it is not"
