Waiting is good, wise even, if you're getting a better deal than those who chose not to wait. But is all that waiting worth what's coming at the end of that wait? What you may get is just an officially warrantied iPhone, you may still be shacked by contract subscription, iPhone being locked to a single carrier, and what's worse, you may even get shafted on the price! All that in vain hope of getting one locally. In the meantime, for the past TWO and a HALF YEARS, myself and the rest of the guys who already have the courage to take that plunge, have been enjoying our purchase already. Your time spent on waiting could have already been put into good use if you'd have the guts, effort and time to get yourself one. Be a YES man, don't blanket yourself with excuses.

Don't get me wrong, I'm as excited as the next person, but only for the reason of it being available here officially. I may be able to live with the "want it official locally" excuse, for a year at the most, but waiting for TWO and HALF YEARS and possibily THREE years or more, is delusional to say the least. If you're talking about budget, then that may be a viable excuse, but waiting for 2.5-3 years? If that is the case, then you probably dont put the iPhone as your top priority things to get. If that is the case, then you probably have other options other than an iPhone to begin with, so the wait was not much of an issue to you. If you're a fan, then you wont be waiting for that long to get one, in the first place. Logic?

Warranties, unless extended by ACPP, only lasts a year. And look at the history of the iPhone when manhandled by our members here, have you heard of anything that worry you enough that warrants worrying about warranties? The horrors you read on iPhones turning into bricks is due to uninformed folks who decides to meddle with the iPhone's software side, and turning it into paperweights. So, even if you have the peace of mind of a warrantied officially launched iPhone here, once you decides to poke around with jailbreaks and such, your warranty is gone.

If you chose NOT to meddle with jailbreaking and that sort of thing, the iPhone endurance and history has pretty much proven that it is a resilient product, therefore NEGATING your point of needing a warranty. But if you're really paranoid about it, then you're welcomed to wait, just that most of us here have already experienced and well-versed with our iPhones while you, IMO, wasted much of that waiting time when you can already be using it already. Plus, I reckon you fall in the group of people who don't really have the iPhone as the top of your priority right now, since you choose the waiting game.

The pros of waiting is only beneficial up to a certain amount of time, once that time period have lapsed, it is no longer worthwhile waiting. IMO, it has past waaaaaaaaayyy beyond the beneficial period of waiting. Not when you have the "carrot" dangling infront of your face, yet up until after TWO and HALF YEARS, you still cant get to that "carrot" and "eat" it.

My bad there, it should be ONE and HALF YEARS, not TWO. I'm taking into consideration the first iPhone Edge as well.

The "wait" comment was more directed to those who blew past both the EDGE and current 3G cycle. But if you're waiting for even more addition to the currently available functions, I'm afraid you'd be stuck in the never-ending cycle of wait-n-see. There's always something better over the horizon, it's how you make full use of the currently available unit you hold in your hand that counts. Those of us who kept running out of space like me or Frozz, don't count. Hey, we already taken the plunge, what about you?

It looks like sloppy programming to me. Look at the links to the iPhone accessories. The images pasted are way out of proportioned and has been for quite a while. This looks more like hasty patchup job when Apple SG extended their service to Apple Malaysia.

Until Jobs himself makes another announcement that a new wave of countries will be receiving their iPhones, don't put your hopes high.

It is better than nothing if there is hope for something. What's even more criminal is giving people false hope. You build up anticipation and longing, but never fulfill that hope, that is even worse.

I said it once and I'll say it again, I'd take Jobs word anytime over some sloppy webpage programming.
