Definetly go for unlocked iphone 3g la. Less hassle. Willing to pay more for 100% usable thingy.

unlock is safe
Lock is risk

think yourself

in australia currently selling the iphone 3g for prepaid users..
its coming from optus...

$899 - 16GB

currency is pretty low now..grab them while u can...

u can also check it on ebay australia..i saw alot of kids here who got it from there birthdays and christmas presents..many are selling it back for a good deal..

Just read what Stringfellow posted earlier today concerning Australia 3G iPhones.

Seaedge: one problem guys.. one of my friend's australian set unlocked, then update to 2.2, and now is locked back. does it happen that way?

Stringfellow: This was reported earlier on via Macrumors, that some of the iPhones that are unlocked via unlock codes from telco carriers gets locked back. The best solution is to tell your friend to inform the Australian telco that he had bought the phone from to again forward the unlock codes via iTunes again. Otherwise, they may want you to bring it in so that they can do that again.

This is the reason why Australian iPhones are not high on my preferred list. Having to retrace your unlocking history with a telco is troublesome to say the least.

i think the percentage of the votes will change

when the new baseband(in 2.2) is hacked

I would think so too but when the next firmware comes out how???

Wait for another 6 months before DevTeam release unlock for upgrading the firmware ah?

So troublesome laa..why spend so much money to have firmware upgrade trouble when can safely enjoy every firmware upgrade and all the goodies rite with an UNLOCK unit.

Indeed! Fully unlocked save everything.

Have a good laugh everyone. I sure laugh kau kau

aiyo.
that's too bad for him la

Runs directly on iPhone. Sounds like the AnySIM case all over again.

hohoho.... getting unlock again via iphone aussie is just minimal......

7 people vote for locked 3G iPhones...hahahahha..seriously?????

locked 3G has just been unlocked by software.

What software? Got meh?

just saw this...

Cheh..sudah tengok and posted this up 6 post. I thought some new software.

It's not software la. It's a patch and you download from Cydia on 31/12 and it does the unlock for Lock 3G iPhones with firmware 2.1 and lower.

it is still software unlock.

at least a hope for those who owned locked iphone 3G for now, better than stupidSIM unlock.
