Hi, I saw apple store in hk selling quite a cheap price for iphone 4, the 16gb is around RM2000, the link here http://store.apple.com/hk/browse/home/shop...?mco=OTY2ODA2OQ

Can i buy from hk and use it in malaysia? Is it an unlocked phone and suitable for malaysia's sim card?
*
Yes, you can because its an official unlocked ones. But then HK apple store will only ship to billing address in HK ONLY. Would not ship internationally.

Can i walk in their apple premium reseller store to buy there instead of buying online? Or the iphone 4 only available online buying only?

Dont think so, i4 lack of stocks around the world man. Ready stocks are for contract user only. For outright purchase have to wait.

So the prority is reserved for the online buyer?
*
1) contract on telco subscription
2) online ordering buyers

As far as I concern, online ordering will need to wait for atleast 3 weeks. You should probarbly send them an email to check everything up in more precise manner rather than replying here. blush.gif

p/s : not that doesn't wanna help, just that not much info available. sad.gif

In this link http://maxis.com.my/personal/iphone4/rates.asp , I saw:

iValue 1 RM100
Free local calls    333 min -> to any network
Free data            1 GB
Free SMS*    200 SMS -> maxis to maxis only
Free MMS*    20 MMS -> not sure

Is this free for monthly? If yes, then is really worth.

As per title, how much does an IPhone 3GS cost now? Is there any other way to get it in KL/PJ other than the Maxis and Digi stores?

You can buy thru forumers. You have to manually compare the price here : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showforu...=Apple%20iPhone

hi guys, i m not sure if this is the right thread to ask, is there anymore iphone 3G 8G which still with warranty under 8 mths by maxis? means he got the new set from maxis 4 mths ago?

Not sure on this. To be secure, ask for serial number and check warranty period @ apple webby.

Its a software unlocked phone meaning the iPhone was originally locked to o2. Seller use software to unlock in order to use it in Msia. Why not you PM him to clarify?

If its sealed and comes with warranty card. Then no worries. Also check the warranty card before hand to confirm its genuine.

Warranty holder not transferable bro. What you can do to claim warranty is just present the warranty card with the phone to Digi/Maxis and you are done. But make sure the warranty card info and iPhone info are matched. flex.gif

hi guys, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i'm kinda in a dilemma of what to get now. stuck between the iphone 4 16gb or the ipod touch 4g 32gb.

which one is more worth getting? if the iphone 4, i might be looking at ivalue 100, but that means a rm100 commitment every month. btw, i'm still on prepaid now.

please enlighten me smile.gif
*
its based on your own preference.. ipod 4 basically has "almost" the same feature with iphone 4 except for lousy camera and speaker sweat.gif .. if you prefer to carry 1 device for all purposes then i suggest you to go for iPhone..
But then iphone 4 and iPod 4 has RM1300 difference in price.. at that price you should be able to get other high end phone..

hei guys and gals, i have no knowledge in iphone at all, i am planning to buy from a guys used 3gs 16gb ! he said is us set and is already jailbreak and can use with all telco ! and i read from the 1st page its written there no unlock set for us ! so kindly advise me should or shouldnt i get it ! thank !

hey wassup yo, just ask him for model number before proceeding to COD. If its US set should be MC132LL (blah blah blah ending by LL). ALso what you mean by no unlock set?

When the seller says already unlocked meaning, software unlock @ specific OS so that you can use with M'sia's sim only. If you really plan to bu, bear in mind that you can't update/restore/format your iPhone to the latest version/os available. Once you updated to latest one, the iPhone will get locked and could not be unlock unless there is any unlock tools available that time. So make your right choice.

Let me summarize everything for you.

if you buy: Cant update to latest version unless latest unlock tools if available. If you prefer not upgrade to latest OS then its also feasible. The iPhone is usable even you stay on the old OS.

My thoughts: locked set somehow is troublesome for newbie. Accidentally upgrade will result in transforming into iPod.

All Maxis iPhones are official unlocked ones dude, read pinned tread from post to post you will get the answer. All iPhone from Maxis comes with warranty card authorized by Maxis. Boh warranty card meaning no warranty. If your friend has warranty card then you might just check the serial number and compare whether both side numeric numbers the same or not?

Answer to your question is preety simple yo. No. It is becuase SG set is an official unlocked set. Once unlocked, will always remain the same. Its autonomous yo
