after reading thru the forum, somehow all of you guys discussion made me took interest in the iphone and i need a replacement for my first gen ipod nano and my dopod 838 pro..

First I'm thinking of the iphone but since the iphone cant read pdf or office file(correct me if I'm wrong)...

I need some advice here, should I just get an itouch to replace my ipod nano or just get an iphone to replace both my phone and ipod?..

iPhone can actually read PDF and Microsoft Office files like Excel and Word with the help of applications. a known one would be MobileFiles Pro. available at $9.99.

is there any freeware available?..

i don't think there is, at the moment.

I found a 3g iphone 8 gb for RM2400, the shop owner told me its the unlock version. Should I go for it?..

Do make sure its an official unlock unit. We have a forumer who got scamed and read his post below.

I should better ask the shop first, thanks for the tips..
but I remembered he told me that he import it from singapore...

To confirm the set is from Singapore:

1. Check the Part No. at the back of the iPhone box.

2. Check the Model No. in iPhone. (Settings->General->About)


The Part/Model No. is either MB489ZA/A, MB496ZA/A or MB500ZA/A. More details can get online at

and usually Singapore sets come with official Singtel receipt for warranty claim purposes. the safest is to get it from our fellow reputable iPhone sellers in Garage Sales. sellers like chinamobile, xfree, twinkles and Jacquei are selling legitimate Singapore sets.

For safety, check it yourself whether it is really from Singapore.

Those sellers can bullshit whatever they like one.

does apple malaysia accept official unlocked iphone if I sent it for repair?..

No, they don't.

thanks for the advice...

do I need to post my iphone pic here after I got it?..

Well, i went for the iPod Touch because :

1) I already have a new Sony Ericcson phone which is capable of doing all the basic
functions

2) It's much cheaper than an iPhone 3G

3) It has everything that the iPhone has apart from GPS, Camera, Mic, and of course,
phone

Thanks to Mgsrulz who actually introduced me to the iPod touch.

was thinking about the itouch butthen what's the point of carrying another pda when you got a phone. I used to carry a palm zire and a nokia with me so my pocket kinda full...

then I have to check my vallet first, the iphone is not that cheap..

you don't have to. but you can share photos that you took with your iPhone HERE.

there is some freeware apps to read pdf if not mistaken, try seach itunes, some are only cost 0.99 usd = rm 4 which i think is reasonable to pay it.

just came back from the shop I mention earlier, they're selling jailbreak iphone for RM2400. Lucikly you guys gave some tips...

I think I'll go ahead with buying the itouch. I still love my dopod..

its aint a big prob.
just consider getting pouch, sure can bring ur phone & ipod touch together

Do apple machine sells gift card?..

good idea..
