I just got an email from Apple Hong Kong (bought my mbp from the online store there) saying that I can purchase the iPhone online from the Apple Store. Been hearing that they're selling it on the Apple Store but you had to go to the actual store to collect and activate for the US, no news about elsewhere.

When I clicked on the link, as you can see in the attached picture, it states clearly at the bottom:




After conversion, it's about RM2400 and RM2800 only, seems like a fair price. Although you'll need someone to ship to in HK and then bring it back to Malaysia.

Any idea what's going on? Not sure how long this has been there, since I only got the newsletter email today.

Apple Store (HongKong) - iPhone 3G

the prices are on the hk apple store website... and it should be correct since it's their own store. then just take the HK$ and change to RM and you'll get your malaysian price.

i really wonder if there's any catch or anything to this.

Localised Apple Stores will only ship to local addresses and you can only use locally-issued credit cards. Therefore you'll need to have someone in HK with a HK address and a HK bank-issued credit card to buy it.

Better start searching through that address book/contact list of yours!
