makes me wonder how big is auckland precisely. have to make that as my to-go list one day (not just for the iphones, but to jalan jalan as well)

i would also wan to say a big "fcuk' to that 2 million @$$hole and flip " the middle finger " to sleepy moderators, semoga u tido macam Pak Lah ...

why so many people so angry now? still thinking that u guys have done the right choice to ban tumpang thread? think twice, lowyatian are not stupid to judge ok

see and check properly what TS have done for us , ask yourself whether inside ur heart got feel guilty or not by listening to the devil and destroying so many people's hope.

use ur brain and think ,

To those asking me if there will be another Tumpang, please understand that I will not do another until the rest of the 15 in my first list gets theirs first. I feel obligated to help them get theirs before any more new participants are added. I dont like long, sad faces, and I especially dont like disappointing people who believed in me and are behind me through thick and thin, and these folks are just that. They trust me to get their iPhones, and I dont want to disappoint them.

Also, doing the Tumpang in the background, through PM, IMs and phone calls/SMS is so much more problematic, than posting a single post in a thread in here. Since the current "policy" is that Tumpangs = sale/trade, I will most probably will not do another until this is revoked. They have their principles, and I have mine.

up bro..your kind heart is appreciated much...

I was with me pilot friends last nite..was asking em when is their flight schedule to the land of Lord of the Rings hehehe...they need to check their schedule ehehe...

All the best bro n hope u able to attend to ya 1st 15
I have my confident in u, u would be able to

First of all thanks to String and the posse that help him get all the 16gb 3G Iphone. As always people with good heart and good intentions are always been depicted as villains or regarded with suspicions of bad intentions. To the moderators who deem fit to close the original Tumpang list, I say open your blinkers. Its not a bulk or sale it would have been good to use your better judgement as there was NO profit made on this excursion. Why would anyone go out of their way for a day go through several shops, when he should be resting for his next flight or just chillin' to get 15 Iphones. There have been other tumpangs and rather than closing the thread you could have ask String on his intentions and be the judge of that rather than acting in a draconian way much like the ISA we have.

I am enjoying my White 3G iphone and I save a bundle. It is a pity that those with 8gb could not get it this round but it takes a good person like String to willingly try it again and go through the hassle to go to many shops.

Oh String having a problem with names and contacts put it with + at the front doesn't recognize names with incoming calls and on SMS without + it doesn't recognize.

Hi Zaakath,

Yea, the caller name issue is there. There is a "workaroud" though...

All these while i stored all my numbers in +601x xxxxxxx, with this iPhone, incoming calls from Malaysia number will be 01x xxxxxxx, thus the phone can't show the name. But for SMS, no issue at all as it is in the format +601x xxxxxxx.

Workaround for me is in addition of the +601x xxxxxxx, I added 01x xxxxxxx as well for the contacts (I got about 200+ contacts to edit)...though a bit leceh but once it is done u will be seeing all caller names for both incoming calls and SMS

Added on August 10, 2008, 11:42 amHey friends, ya woh. Tis morning i started applying the back cover around 9am, ended up around 11am baru complete. For the edges, i think it is impossible to make it smooth with all the curves, so I cut off some of the edges (to sacrifice the edge protection) and now all edges are fixed pretty well.

A lot of patience is required for the application, especially for white iphone as a tiny tiny imperfection is visible, so definitely not recommended for those perfectionist. At this point of time I will settle for this Invisible Shield for back cover..until i feel bored heheee and will go for Gelaskins

Great news to hear youre enjoying your iPhone3G!

Been harassing Stringfellow through IM/SMS to retrieve the "baby" - but I think he has collapsed somewhere from the exhaustion!

A sweet sweet victory for stringfellow, maybe everyone who manage to get their new baby should gather together with stringfellow and organize a gathering - belanja him for his effort?

Hey..just wanna ask u guys..
What casing you use?
Or SP
I dunno which to get..
Invisible Shield,Capdase or the mirror sp...

If you don't want to go thru the hassle steps of applying skins,
then you should consider case.

If not, u can go with skin on the back, plus with casing

Hi friends,

Good advise! Do you know of any place which sell any iphone 3G cases at the moment? Lowyat? Sg.Wang? Thanks!

check out [ Here ] instead.
I believe you can easily find some in LowYat Plaza.... i'm not from KL nor Klang Valley dude, can't help much on that

all well end well , almost
congrats to those who got their iphones from stirng

There's just so many case...dunno which to choose..
Got the cozip..leather mat...

congrats to both string and new owner!!

Congratz guys
Cheers

You're a great man String and congrats guys with the new 3G iphone.

Cheers

BRO stringfellow,

Indeed a very good journey. I really impressed with your determination. We need more good people in this world like you, a really rare breed

Keep it up bro! I wish I have enough cash and join the boat though.

Perhaps next time

8GB guys, you know who you are. I got 4 confirmations that they want to hold their purchases until I get another Auckland, 1 already refunded, and 1 status unknown. Please let me know your status, for the one without the status confirmation. Otherwise, I will hold your funds until you contact me back.

Updates:- All 16GB accounted for, and all except one already collected. The last unit is set to be collected tomorrow. I hope all you guys enjoy your iPhone 3G, congratulations to Neekun, Zaakath, Ken6800, Xero800, Roger(Psyeo's friend), Crxr, and Tishaban. The rest are outsiders, and my own brother's unit. Ken6800, Xero800, Crxr and Roger was here with me just now, and we have done the activation together, zero hassles. Congratulations again!

Added on August 10, 2008, 6:17 pmI have no status update on if I want to do another Tumpang or not. My main priority here is to make our 8GB brothers happy again. Until then, no further Tumpangs. This, compounded with the mod restrictions around here, makes me weary of even starting another Tumpang.

The next Auckland trip, will only be for our 8GB brothers.(Or if they want to top it up to 16GB). If you do want to top it up, I will arrange another meet, with the amount NZD for the top up. Exception will be for friends since he is in Sungai Petani, Kedah. If you dont feel like continuing with this Tumpang, please arrange for time/venue to meet.
