Hey there iPhone first generation users. I think its time to defend ourselves.

We have seen that most iPhone users are selling their iPhones to get the 3G ones. But, is really our phone ain't good. Prices start selling at RM1200. To me this price is ridiculous. We should deserve more than that. Like let say RM1600 and above. I'll list reasons why.

1. Our phone is no longer in production but still demand is there.
2. Our phone serves us fantastically well.
3. If there is any software problem we can fix it ourselves through iTunes no cost incurred.
4. iPhones are easily updated with the help of Dev team this means it does not go obsolete.
5. The differences of price between iPhone and iPhone 3G is wide how can it be? RM1500 with RM3200.
6. The differences between EDGE iPhone and iPhone 3G's functionality from the user guide at apple.com/iPhone, I can see that 90% of the content of the user guide is same.

This is just some of the facts I can think of at the moment and I'm sure that there is more reasons why we deserve more than just RM1200 when we sell it out as second hand.

I can only think of better web surfing speed and a new body for the Iphone 3G. The rest I've got it in my trusty 1st gen Iphone. Still loving it. Correct me if I left out any extras for Iphone 3G.

GPS bro haha

i understand wat u r feeling bro..
da average iphone price is arnd 1800~2100 for da previous gen...
maybe those who r selling it below tat mark r just wanting 2 let go of da device 2 get sm cash perhaps?

i wont sell my iphone at rm1.5k eventhough i got it less than rm1.3k. it's so worth and i cant get any better phone at rm1.5k. so really no point selling it at rm1.2k. maybe that iphone has some problem, who knows?

lol. selling at 1.2k is merely for fast deal. then when one person offer such price, then another seller wanna sell it fast willing to let go at RM1.1k start. and from there the prices will go down as demand is low while supply is high. which is also 1 of the reason why i cancel my sales in the 1st place back then.

Again, some said they can get cheaper i3g, hence they wanna sell their 1st gen to fund for the new i3g.

is not that our phone isnt good, is just the seller wan fast deal leads to our despair. for me, i can wait for i3g until next or so. its not a big deal if i get i3g or not; if i got it, i will appreciate its 3g service more. and this is the only phone that never made me think of selling (previously is because i had a deal for 16gb)

but hey malaysian mentality
everyone wants the cheapest they can get regardless of the service and conditions

whine only when they are farkap

dear TS,

u cant stop ppl from change new phone...they have their right to sell their item at any price they want...all depend on the buyer are willing to buy or not...

i also use 2g iphone, i agree with you that 2g iphone are collectible item. it will be an antique after 20 years as this is apple first phone...do you still remember motorola tai ko tai? now ppl are willing to pay rm5k for that phone...

For info, just coming back from pertama, N95 second hand RM 1100/=, So to put RM 1200/= consider lelong oledi lor. BTW, i will still use first gen. And 3G iphone will be my gift to my wife.

there was a crack screen gen1 iphone...starting RM1200...still nt sold rite?

hehe me dun plan to sell..i'll collect all..muahahha...but waiting for price to be nice nice..

haihz..ppl 1 2 sell coz many dun appreciate..dey just buy to shw off nt too appreciate it..dats y dey sell out den go ahead with the next gen 1..

1 word..dey LEBIH oni 1 la..

Yea for fast cash purposes...i do agree...i'm not so sure on how others think about this...i just feel that this phone doesn't deserve those kind of taunting...haha...anyways this thread is merely open for eye opening and discussion purposes...cheers...

i LOLed when i look at this thread.

1. Do you call Potong Saga 'limited edition' since it stopped production already?
2. Potong Saga serves their driver well too, still can drive them from one place to another.
3. If it serves you so well, why it there a problem in the first place?
4. Can you guarantee that the support will go on forever? Eg : Fat PSP custom firmware have lesser support than PSP slim now right? People tend to forget about the pass and move forward.
5. Price is subjective, it may costs a lot for you or some low income earner and students, but for those who earn 5-6 figures income, an entertainment meal may costs more than that.
6. Mercedes and Potong, in order to turn left and right, both cars also have to turn the steering, same with iphone, same functionality doesn't mean same quality.

Cheers!!!

Limited edition? Do you really know what limited edition means? GOSH

For me IT Technology / Gadget is not limited edition but ( outdated )
How you think .

Ferrari FXX = Limited Edition

Discontinued iPhone = Outdated

Let me continue in more further example and u will laugh with it

Example :
i have a Nokia 3100 ( Guess u guys should know what it's)

1st it no longer production [ limited edition ]
2nd it serves well

and bla bla ... = =

i LOLed since Sony T made her post... and you guys followed~

*disclaimer: i am currently using the first gen iphone.



this thread is hilarious to be honest. it matches the proverb from "The Fox and the Grapes"

no way i will sell my first gen iphone.... kinda fall for it... but gonna get the 3g as well soon~

it really depend on how ppl think about keeping 1st gen iphone (or any IT product)...it all up to you...

how well do you all know about car?can you compare ferrari with proton?
