it's worth to get if u have the cash.. And the looks is cool.. Current price for the 8gb 3g version at garage section is around rm 2.9k plus plus while the 16gb version is around 3.5k plus plus
Also the touch screen for i phone is great.

iPhone has more interactive features as well as software to play around with. Great as it's multimedia packed features. All depends on why you want one. Is it for Style Factor? Features? Multimedia? Games? Camera? Outloook? Messaging?

Personally, i'll go for a BlackBerry. Have one presently with a SE P1i. Waiting on BlackBerry Bold to launch here in Malaysia, then I'll seriously be a CrackBerry Addict!! ehehe...

Happy Hunting!!!

I think the bigger question here is when you buy an apple iphone is the user experience. I work in the mobile telecoms industry and never have I encountered a more seamless way of purchasing "value added services" (games, apps, ringtones, etc) like the appstore found on the iphone. It's really effortless buying on itunes and there are tons of stuffs in there...

@gnomefan,
Best U check out the phone features and technical details from the Apple website.

Yes there is a camera on the phone; but there's just one, not two hence traditional video conferencing is not possible on the iPhone or the iPhone 3G.

My gf is more or less like TS. Know nothing about iphone yet so excited about it and make it the next phone to buy. She doesn't even know it has 3G and non 3G, what capacity it has, etc etc.

My friends usually ask me "Can I have that ringtone?". I would answer them back "iPhone doesn't allow BT file transfer". I am used to them shaking their heads. laugh.gif

@d3vilzzzz,
muAhahAHahHA.. I'll take that as a compliment, thanks! But I ain't the kind who would buy something at this price without knowing its functions.

@z3171600,
Your gf just wants to be 'in' - that's it; totally for lifestyle purposes not functionality.

My gf not really rich just that she can 'negotiate' with her father to get her stuff if she score well in her final exam. Last semester of degree now.

Yeah, I think that might the reason as well. But no complain here since I'm not the one who has to pay for it. If she does get the iPhone I'll get her current phone - Nokia N something the flip version. Even better, if she doesn't like iPhone I might be able to use that instead. LOL.
