For whats worth, there's no other phone that can offers me what the iphone can for now..
For 1.2 or 1.5k, there's no way you cant get a multimedia orientated phone like the iphone can, plus the reason the price went down drastically is also caused by Malaysia not lauching the 1st gen, and for the 3G, the price will definately reach till 1.5k by 6-10 months..

I'll stick to my 1st gen iphone till the 3rd gen comes out..

LOL.... my T100, T610...all limited addition

lol, still prefer 1st gen iphone, dun like plastic back of i3g...but gps sssssure is cool within i3g...

the back of 3G is solid , trust me u'll definately fall in love with it .

HAhahaa...i have nokia 8850 then priceless

How many times do I have to say, IT IS NOT PLASTIC! For God's sake!

Hahahaha... String gonna explode already..

plastic plastic plastic!

I already try arrange a meetup to testdrive the iPhone 3G, but everybody either too busy, or shy to meet me( I dont know the reason why, I dont eat people lah!). Once you have fondled the Aifontriji, you'll see that it is not plastic at all!

It's plastic. A very strong kind of plastic. I'm no material engineer or anything but everyone knows there's a huge range of plastics so using the generic 'plastic' term to describe the back of the iPhone 3G isn't wrong.

Check out WWDC 08 keynote 1:26:13
"It's beautiful. This is what it looks like. It's even thinner at the edges, it's really beautiful, it's got a full plastic back, it's really nice".

Do whatever you guys want lah, it's your money. I certainly wont buy the Motorola phones no matter how RAZR-thin they are, because I cared more about what the my phone can do, than what dimensions or material used to build it are used. No skin off my back, and not my loss either.

I'd like to assume all this "plastic, therefore the Aifontriji is no good" statement is more of an excuse not to upgrade because of you have just recently purchase an Aifonej, but I dont want to look or sound like I'm dissing the Aifonej. Like Seaedge's sig says, the Aifontriji is a great phone, but the Aifonej is as good as well.

I better stop getting miffed at these one-liner statements, Apple hardly pay me anything to do their defending. I just dont like blanket statements by folks who had hardly seen or used the Aifontriji in person to simply disregard the Aifontriji's strong points, just because it looks plastic. You couldnt get any shallow than that.

lol...i try to pretend not like it...huh..dun poison me laaa..i dun wan spend so much to upgrade


high quality plastic? or is not plastic? i dunno le...@ string is not plastic? huh..sorry i don't really know..
and im currently using agent18 incase @ my iphone which is a plastic ..haha..


back to the topic....1.2k for full set good condition 2nd handset iphone? very hard to find le...only ppl who dun care for 100 200 hundred diff sell tat price..

I agree with what string said, plastic or not, its the function that counts..
The thing underneath it is what matters, i also have a Razr with me, but othet than the solid body and thiness, that phone is crap..

But i believe Apple wont use cheap ass plastic to protect whats beneath.. Right guys?

It's already been discussed and pointed out that the aifontriji back is not plastic. Its somekind of a ceramic hard shell coated in a glaze that make it look like plastic. Try googling it yourself coz i don't have the energy to dig my brain for the source.

but u guy doesnt mind hard silicon on pamela anderson? coz its look good?

If my memory serves me right, Steve did say the iPhone 3G "has a gorgeous plastic back" during the recent WWDC. But well, probably that is in laymen's term. He is not gonna say that it is a "ceramic hard shell coated in a glaze that make it look like plastic", is he? That'd be too confusing and boring for a keynote.

But really, even if it is plastic.....so?

still love my 1st gen iphone... very solid and still rocks !

Are U saying the iPhone 3G will be available @ RM1.5k 6-10 months from now?! Unless Apple introduces a new model and phase this one out, I don't think the iPhone 3G will ever fall below RM2k [Basis: I benchmarked it against existing iPod Touch prices - there is NO reason for Apple to phase off their iPods and if the iPhone 3G is introduced and priced lower than the existing iPod Touch prices, Apple will only kill that product line]

Yes, it's plastic, so dont buy it.

More stocks for me to get for the guys......

If you think 1st Gen is good, then keep it, why bothered how much it worth. It worth a lot to me. That's what important. If iPhone 3G not your type for whatever reason, wait for iPhone 4G or 5G if all you like, there's always a newer generation, it will never end. "Complaints doesn't work in here."

I remember, when 1st Gen release, ppl complaint it doesn't have 3G. When 3G out, ppl complaint it's plastic and doesn't have front camera. WTF.
