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???

buy at UK... cheaper... lot of ppl here know how to unlock right??

...take a risk is ok... sumtime.....

Please buy..if got trouble, don't come crying here lor. We cannot help you much.

read la pinned thread..

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.

you have to buy pay as you go...
but you dont have uk address, sorry!
cuz when you buy pay as go iphone, still need your information to register o2 line
without i dont think can

cuz my fren all did the same in uk

eh, same question like d other thread..check out the pinned thread for more details..

just stay with the old firmware and u are able to unlock it with dev team method..

good luck bro

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.

jus ask them before u buy.

not all iphone comes with firmware.

i jus got few iphones recently and all of them are either firmware 2.1 or 2.0.1.

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.

You'll never miss this topic.

Should I Buy?, iPhone 3G from (whatever country)

What to do..people don't read like that wan lor..blur blur ma..

Itulah Malaysian mentality.

If we all got a ringgit for every time someone asked that then we'd all be able to have a nice Xmas dinner TT

hehehe...carefull with statement.....

LOLZ..sure we can. Dah la this forum macam call in service. We troubleshooting operators.

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?

until now i dont know how to open a new thread... silly me

better said some of them.....not all........

Do some homework before buy

LOLZ..i did not say all ma..that's why i say ''if everyone". But the word some is better.

Still up to poeple to choose weather to buy lock or unlock la..their pasal if got problems with lock phone. We help give warning, some don't hear, their bad lor..simple.

Live and let live fellow forumers. There are all sorts of people in this world of ours and that's why it is in the state that it is in.

Just like the movies or anything for that matter, if you don't like don't go and watch it or in this case try (sometimes difficult I know) to ignore it unless of course you are willing to see past it and give some advice constructively.

This small gesture on our part helps alleviate 'wars'. Cheers.

Ts if if u think Ms is gonna launch iphone 3g here..it's gonna take years ler..

o2 does not sell unlocked iphone 3G

I double that...

is that fine to buy iphone from there seem the price is around RM1800??

lolwut. i bought 1 unit and brought it back from UK to malaysia and tested software unlock on it and evntually sold it off coz i still have my old iphone

Buy it if you think the risk is worth the money.

but now since the phone can be unlock using yellosno then it doesn't matter if the phone is locked, rite?

May i know is there any different for the phone behaviour for officailly unlocked and software unlocked?

let me tell you my side of the story (and therefore may not necessarily reflect what others may think):

1. i despise waiting for the dev team to provide me with an alternative solution/customised firmware each time a new one comes up; i wanna update my firmware the minute that it is been released by apple (to satisfy my kiasu appetite) . furthermore apple has never failed to surprise me with fascinating new features and bug fixes each time an update comes around.

2. yellowsn0w users have been experiencing weak network signal and not to mention slower 3G/edge speeds; i hate screaming my lungs out so that the other party can hear me and vice versa and not to mention even slower than the-already-slow 3G network in this country.

3. i may not be from a well to do family, but i refuse to be a cheapskate opting for a below par product.
