surf without 3G better not to surf. take ages to load...

agreed. should be okay for whatsapp/tweets/4sq but surfing, games etc will suck

u're also paying the same amount for 3g connection, but u get less speed

Hi ALL,

Im extremely new to Iphone, am getting a "present" from a friend
a 32gb 3Gs fully loaded (games, music, videos) just want to know
can I use it without a sim card? Thanks for replying
*
that's quite an unusual way to give an iphone as a present tongue.gif does it come with an apple id and itunes backup library? haha. btw envy u have a friend like that biggrin.gif

without a SIM, u should be able to use it like an ipod touch. games, music, videos still can use. sms, call, 3g connection ofcoz cannot lah. but then if me, i'd just sell the 3gs n buy an ipod touch instead

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated.
He bought the phone "fully loaded" from the dealer blush.gif
I was told never to back it up with Itunes, so am guessing no ID?

no worries, Im juts glad I have one for FREE rclxms.gif
*
well an iphone filled with other people's music, movies, apps n games....doesnt feel like YOUR iphone doesnt it?

1st of all try to check if its a locked set or not. if not, better just restore it as a new phone in iTunes n load it up with YOUR stuff and YOUR apps. go register an ID for urself smile.gif just my opinion lah

Hi guys. Sorry to ask this but do you know what is the expected price for iPhone 4 for the next coming few months? Planning to get it if the price is good. Planning to ditch my 9700  tongue.gif

Thanks!

Hi, i would like to get new Iphone 4. Want to know that Maxis packages better or Digi one?

Then how many GB better? Please advise. Thanks
*
before u compare prices, most important is to check both maxis n digi coverage at ur location. say if ppl say digi is the best, but digi signal at ur place sucks, no use also. try to ask ppl around u

As the title iPhone 4 finally made available on Apple US store. Priced at 649USD for 16GB and 749USD for 32GB. Btw does it make sense RM2000 for iPhone 4 16GB off contract?

Check it out here

well USD 649 is already RM1977 so not much difference lah

how much did it cost for you to change the flex?

agh..i cannot make up my mind. 3GS or 4 3GS or 4.

iphone4 of course. retina display is a very2 significant upgrade

dont worry too much about the home button lah. if u got the problem, fix it then. dont go for a 3gs simply cuz u feel ip4 button will break. some 3gs have that issue too u know

the seller is selling locked version of iphone. with personal warranty, and not the malaysian carrier's warranty.
the baseband is 03.10.01..
is it a hassle to use the locked version? cause i watch on youtube that you have to do though not so complicated but hassling steps to get the phone working.

hmm.gif
*
very hassle. and low resale value also. not worth it. probably the seller want to sell cuz cannot tahan using locked set also tongue.gif

And don't worry about the warranty, because Apple devices warranty work on any authorized service centre on this planet regardless the region or country. Sometime, they don't even need your proof of purchase, the service officer just need your device serial number, then they'll check online if your device still under the coverage of warranty.
*
EXCEPT for iphones. so yeah TS should worry about warranty as well

and make sure you get a proper unlocked version. really not worth it dealing with gevey sim and whatnot

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

that's an ipad. there's no locked ipad model. we're talking about iphones here

how to i ensure that the iphone im going to buy is not the locked one?
*
not sure about that. for iphone4, they only have unlocked iphones months after the launch. even malaysia can get unlocked sets earlier. see lah how this year. i guess u just have to ask the store whether it's unlock or not. i think those that come with plans are all locked sets

QUOTE(sakurazz @ Aug 15 2011, 06:26 PM)
international warranty cannot be claimed in malaysia isit..?
heard that nearest to claim is in singapore.. am i right..?

find out why 3gs was named '3gs', then u'll figure out why the next iphone wont be named 4gs

Do I monitor this thread for news on iPhone 5 or is there another dedicated thread for it? I'm waiting for the new version to arrive in Malaysia. Decided to change after faithfully using my iPhone 3G since Day 1 official launch in Malaysia smile.gif

Although I hardly run apps on it due to performance in speed & battery life, my iPhone really needs an upgrade wink.gif Any advice guys? Maybe jailbreaking would do some good? Since it's not under Maxis warranty anymore.
*
i believe this is the appropriate thread: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1812247

i never heard of an iphone having increased performance after JB. well u've been using it since about 3 years ago so i hope it's not much of a big deal to wait for iphone5 hehe.

i have a question. my gf is using a BB and has a BIS plan, stil got almost 1 year contract with celcom.

if she buys an iphone, cut the simcard, and sell off the BB, can she still use the data plan, or this BIS thingy will interfere?
