Malaysian set or overseas set any difference ?

after warranty expired ?

As am going to buy 3Gs so the more I know the better  thumbup.gif

yes, oversea set normally is a locked set...it depends on which country it is from....if its a local its an official unlock which means it can read all telco sim card...if its a locked set it can only read certain sim card which it is locked to...

about the warranty, if it still under local warranty u can claim for replacement unit mate...if the warranty already expired u should ask the seller whether he give u his personal warranty or not.... nod.gif

if the iphone is gsm band, then should be fine (with sim card)
if the iphone is cdma band, then shouldnt be fine (without simcard)

do correct me if im wrong smile.gif
*
correct..besides that u should determine whether the phone is locked set or unlocked set..if unlocked set its ok..if locked its not ok..make sure u buy the sim free version..

I think should be ok since my dad actually bought a iPad 2 from US and able to use it actually @@ Anyways, When is iPhone 5 releasing actually? lol
*
apple malaysia didnt use same warranty policy for iphone n ipad..ipad have international warranty.iphone yes but u cannpt claim it from apple malaysia..only can claim it from singapore which is the closest one.

to know whether its locled or not u should buy the phone which is not including any telcos contract.. smile.gif

But since the iPhone 5 still new,I don't think can unlock straight ..unless you can wait 2 weeks - 1 month  hmm.gif

or unless apple release the unlock set together with the lock set.... hmm.gif

CDMA is a phone that didnt use any slot for SIM.
in Malaysia, whether you are using postpaid or prepaid, both needed a simcard slot.

wifi is wifi lah. wireless internet connection.
3G is a line for highspeed internet connection for you mobile. correct me if im wrong.
*
+1, u r rite mate, besides in Malaysia there is no local telco's using CDMA coverage...if u use CDMA iphone 4 for sure u cant use it in Malaysia..in USA it specifically designed for Verizon... nod.gif

Okay bro. Tq. smile.gif btw, is it worth it to own an ipjone 4 us set?

not worth it mate, u have to unlock it using gevey sim n u cant update ur ios all time since it will lock back ur phone..just buy the local set mate, local set is free sim/official unlocked version which can be use with any sim card around the world.. the price different only rm100 mate but its worth it...seriously its worth...besides the price for the local sets is higher than the us set if u want to sell it later.. nod.gif

But i got very good offer for ip4 us set. I have to only topup 200 with my tab, others rm500 to topup with my tab, and thats for ip4 16gb.
*
seriously dude, although its a good offer u need to think the advantage of it, ifuse local set u dont need to think anything about the sim lock..and can update to latest ios version without hesitation..if using us set u need to think about gevey sim n the way to claim warranty if the phone problem..if local set, just sent to maxis,digi,celcom centre to claim warranty.if us set got problem u need to go to singapore to claim warranty since apple malaysia not provide warranty claim services for iphone...nearest apple store that accept it is singapore...so think of it mate... nod.gif

Which capacity is worth to buy?

dunno how much of storage that i needed later when using iphone with lots of cool apps and games plus HD video recording some more.
can someone please enlighten me?

iphone 4 for 16GB and 32GB already stop production.
from now on iphone 4 will come with 8GB only.
iphone 4S will come with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

i believe apple store only sells the 8gb version of iphone 4...
