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

thanks. now am more confident to get iphone 4. thumbup.gif

guys, i wonder. if iPod is broken, you can claim warranty at apple. but if iPhone is broken u claim warranty at provider or apple?

and can we check the serial number of iPhone via iTunes to know the period of warranty?

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

When buying iPhone (Used) one

what should you look for ?

how can you know it is a good mobile ?

like firmware, modem firmware etc
*
as the sifus taught me.

if u can possibly bring laptop with you, open https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do and enter the serial number to check the warranty

then check on the cosmetic wear. and if possible also, ask seller to use his simcard to check the 3G, Signal and reception. and check the WIFI if it is functioning too.

open a few songs/video and check the speakers. using your phone, call the seller while his SIM is in the iPhone that you are going to use and check the internal speaker. you may want to ask the seller to talk to you to test this.

there. bring your microsim, and test it out on the spot to check whether it is unlocked. but the sifus told me that all local set is already officially unlocked. if it is locked, you might want to ask seller to provide gevey sim for you to test the phone.

hope this helps thumbup.gif

what is the diff between cdma and wifi /3g
*
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.

I was also like you. due to the feeling of wanting to own an iphone 4, I almost bought oversea set which is a locked iphone. after getting advice from fellas in this tered, I waited and keep refreshing and waiting for new iphone 4 for sale thread at trade zone.

After 1 day only, I got an offer with the same price as the locked phone for an unlocked iphone 4 with 10/11 months remaining of celcom warranty.

the key is to be patient and keep searching! imma bargain hunter so I used to this kind of thing. lol

if you're working and an avid gamer. i suggest you get an ipod and another phone. because if you use your iphone for gaming, the battery would not last more than 4 hours (if you play continuously). less if you use internet too.

if your battery is dead, then how you're going to make calls and smses?

Hi everyone , Im just a student here , a guy selling iphone4 white 16gb new at 800. His coming cod with me tonight . Its it ORI set or copy ? Im not so good in iphone stuff . Hope u guys can give me advise , Thanks =)


First, check if it is the real iphone. dont get tricked into with a similar looking china-made "iphone"
Ask for warranty,
Check the 3G, Internet, Wifi,speaker, and the home button
If the seller have service card from telco, match the IMEI (serial number) on your iphone and on the card, make sure its the same.

If possible, ask the seller to use his SIMcard on the phone to check everything first. you will need a microsim for iphone instead of a normal simcard.
and when you want to deal, make sure, you pay and you get the item he showed you.

if you suspected there is something amiss, dont buy the phone.
