Hi guys, I'm going to UK next week.

My question is:
Should i buy an iPhone 3G from there?

iPhone from UK is locked, so cheaper. And the Dev Team has announced that Software Unlock iPhone 3G is coming out soon. But i scare it doesn't work...

So should i buy an iPhone 3G from there and hoping the Dev Team's software unlock works or wait for the iphone 3G to reach Malaysia???

It's not worth the hassle, despite the dev team announcing a possible software unlock. Each time a new firmware update is released, it'll most probably break the unlock. Playing cat and mouse is so yesterday.

I think by now all the new 3G iPhones will be on firmwre 2.2 by default leh. Maybe. Who knows?? If is 2.2, you're so dead.

Good news then but still a big problem when upgrading firmware lor. If TS wants, then enjoy your headache. Just don't come complaining that he should have bought an oficial unlock unit.

After a few month of absence in iPhone section, everything feels exactly the same like before.

I think is the true fact. Seriously.

If everyone is ahead and keep abreast of what's happening to the iphone community around the world, will people ask weird questions ka like can buy US/UK phone la, How to jailbreak la?

Seriously if you think about it, how did Maverick, nokia2003, davidgary73 and many more can find so much of info for us while some just arren't able too? They just like us also ma...

I also got blow by what they post on the pinned thread. So i read kau kau..

So wht does it say about people opening new thread? Not obvious enough that they don't read pinned thread or read available threads for this kinda matter?
