nice !!!
so this unit surely is fully unlock phone, right ????

8GB: 349.00 GBP = 2,130.19 MYR
16GB: 399.00 GBP = 2,435.22 MYR

not bad...
quit a good deal...

wow nice. it will be great if it's unlocked. head old rumour before that it will be locked with o2 for 1 year.

Base on this link, UK iPhone 3G is locked.
NZ is still the best choice.

nice pricing...
with time, they r many ways 2 get iphone 3g unlocked OTB ya...

It never said the iPhone 3G will come unlock. It just says no contract.

Not a good deal I would say. It seems like you still have to be with O2 but with Pay As You Go SIM card.

Iphone PAYG - £350
18 months simplicity @20 a month = 360
total
£710

iphone contract
£35/p/m * 18 = 630
iphone itself = 99
£730

@Savlon,
Y is there a 18 months simplicity @20 a month = 360 for the iPhone PAYG?

just a comparison, for UK people...that's one of the cheapest plan...so you still need to get a PAYG simcard

wooo hooooo!!!!! i think maybe unlocked after one year, if not how? after 12 moons, u dun sign with o2 the phone deem useless?

no. highly doubt it is unlocked.

you can choose not to reload at all with o2 pay as you go. buy it and unlock it, you are free to use with any sim card.

the payg simplicity deal is not compulsory, but an example of what you can get if you choose to reload it every month.

it is not automatically unlocked after a year. you will have to do the unlocking stuff yourself at your own risk.

Let's just wait for it to come out, and we'll see how. Sounds like a good deal.

Anyone wanna place an order?

if it is locked out of box... i don't see any point getting it from UK although the price is cheaper....

@friends,
You're def right cause otherwise might as well get it from USA

O2 maybe the good choice who prefer sim proxy unlock and those people who suka gosok2 sim card..... muaheheheheh

crazy,.,, so phone is deem useless after one year, if dun sign up with o2?
my wife also blur, dunno to wait for the pay and go or not

@rx330,
By then U might be able to get it unlocked; illegally of course?!

her classmate bought one just the other week, 8 gb
from thailand, told my wife dun worry, thailand can unlocked liao

for me, i would prefer unlocked through the official way, no need to worry abt fw updates

like a fren tat day, told me, his is 1st gen, my aredi latest fw, 2.0, no prolems
i say, weird ler, mine 2.02 wor

@rx330,
You should have mentioned it earlier - me sister is in BKK; I could have asked her to get a unit [don't ask me Y she decided to go despite the 'state of emergency'!] Now she's stranded cause her flight got cancelled.

tabik ur sis

is bkk oficial set locked or unlocked?

@rx330,
I don't know - u mentioned Thailand sets are unlocked (or somehow unlocked) in ur earlier message didn't U?!

She's not really stranded lah - her flight got cancelled and she's taking the next flight back; if she doesn't get on that next flight I guess then I'll just have an additional day to the house

no la, wat i mean is her fren says, there is ways for it tobe unlocked
she needs to get it as soon as possible, her current prepaid cut is so costly

@rx330,
oOoOh!! It's realli up to U.. perhaps she could check if the phone can be legally unlocked after the 1 year period?!

ya, i ask her to check
but this kind of law is really weird...
i think the same applies in US at&t as well

if only they do it like aussie, pay for unlocking, i definitely dun mind tat

OT: show her the chanel apps yesterday, she was so delighted, one of her favourite brands

@rx330,
No harm checking to see if O2 can unlock it after a year - Perhaps she could alwiz tell O2 her situation; that she's a student in UK and will onli be there for 12 months hence what's d point of getting the phone when she won't b able to use it post the 12 months?!

yea, thanks for the advice, will convey it to her

@rx330,
Ask her to speak with someone with authority; the usual Officers will probably tell her to get another phone or something - and be nice!

NZ is still the best but need to find someone willing to go down there and get 1 or 2 sets!

tinker, hard to ask her to be nice
she just fark the bank's CS yesterday hahahhahahah
