nope. there is no way that i can evaluate it as i have never encountered such incidents.

Will you be able to find out what's the problem if you take a look at it?

i cannot guarantee anything per se, but i'm curious myself

lol, looks like theres a good guy to help u, don worry mate.

Lesson for the day :

Do some research before buying anything that you have no idea about

tbh...3.2k is pretty darn steep imo....

Hahaha. Yup, I know I'm guilty of that. I bought it on impulse.

@jaybee: The usual price I see here is around 3k-3.1k. The salesman said that he'll install 5 pages worth of apps for an extra 100. The phone alone is actually 3.1k. I thought it was okay.

Anyways, I'm going to go back to the shop to ask the salesman.

Bro, wish u good luck. May god bless you.

1. you are probably (unless they are free apps, which i dare to bet that they are not!) using pirated/cracked apps then and they are not welcomed here. hence do not discuss about them.

2. rm100 for 5 pages of cracked apps? a pirate trying to rip even further for an extra mile? oh come on!!!

3. which is why perhaps (another speculation by me) your iphone is not recognisable by itunes.

Based on your Model Number given, I've checked the list.... results as below.
◆ Italy (Carrier : TIM)
Full Model Number : MB496T/A

◆ Italy (Carrier : Vodafone)
Full Model Number : MB496T/A

◆ Turkey (Carrier : TurkCell)
Full Model Number : MB496TU/A

◆ Turkey (Carrier : Vodafone)
Full Model Number : MB496TU/A ** Authorized Unlocking can be done by Carrier **

Most probably you are getting an UNLOCKED unit but definitely NOT Singapore unit. You really need to check the Full Model Number at the back of the box (left bottom)


Extra :
That is just part of the tactic for salesmen to close their sales only... aren't they ?
Having 5 pages of Apps worth RM100 ? most probably they are using cracked/pirated Apps/Games downloaded from Internet as quoted by Nokia2003.
It is more worth it if you buy ORI, hassle and update free at all.

if you in setapak area, with laptop, i dun mind have a look. although i am not as good as nokia sifu , but maybe i can do something >.<

I got myself 2 ori programs (Beejive n Wordbook) already cost me like RM80... 5 pages of programs dunno how much need to pay liao

cheated ..... should sruvey 1st at LOWYAT .net , not Lowyat....

try it on another computer, u're using windows? might be USB driver problem..

and the part where u said it comes with lots of application, I'm assuming this is a second hand unit, u will need to clear the whole iPhone via iTunes, if u were to install the application u need.

5 pages all free apps is possible?

Unless he gets those "free apps" on his computer that he is going to sync it in with, those apps will be gone once he plug it in, and turn on iTunes, since those apps were synced with a different computer, and a new computer sync will wipe out the apps entirely when synced as a new iPhone.

I'm sorry, but you have been conned big time. Apps on iPhones are not like Windows Mobile where you can keep when syncing with different computers. Lesson learned the hard way, eh?

Geee.RM3200 spent for an iPhone. But at least the good news is it's an official unlock unit. All you need to do now is connect to your PC and click on the restore button (who cares those pirated apps they installed!) and the phone should be spanking new from there.

Ain't it typically Malaysian. You can buy a 3K plus phone but cannot pay for software...

How much does RM80 get you these days anyway? Were not Beejive and Wordbook worth the investment.

Yup, lesson learned here.

On a related note, NZD has gone BELOW 2.0, 1.97 now! NZ Aifontrijis are going for less than RM2200 after conversion. Damn it, if I had waited I could have saved RM600! A friend is going there tonight, and he's happy doing his Aifontriji shopping now, problem is Vodafone is noticing the weak NZD and being an ******* about selling outright phones. Lucky Cocklea saves the day again.

no kidding..... conned big time.... aiseyeh man.... well lesson to learn.... anyhow....since u bought it.... hopefully the iphone works....

if not its time u pow tht seller kaw2!

hahahahaha
