May i ask a question here?

I am bringing in a Spore set iPhone 16GB.

the service provider said that it can be used in Msia for most basic functions like calls and SMS. However, some "technical" functions like U-Tube does not work in Malaysia because it is "locked" to the service provider.

My worry > will other functions such as Internet, MMS be working fine in Msia for this Spore set?

I hope pals here will reply here, please. It is a decision time. Please help.

many thanks.

I know that Optus don't sell out-of-contract iPhones anymore. What other options do i have if I wanna get one from Aussie? Of course i need it to be unlocked as well.

Actually they still sell it but u have to know where to find it as the stock is very scarce. My fren has just got 2 16GB from telechoice eastgarden 2 weeks ago. Reload 80 bucks then can unlock for free. Telstra doesnt sell outright anymore, they only sell to telstra customers. You can just get a 20dollar telstra prepaid, then u r a telstra customer so that u can buy the iphone outright. lol. But the unlocking fees for telstra is AUD 150. Hope tht clears it up for u.

16GB
929.00 AUD = 2,054.31 MYR

I have it from optus since the launch day (11/7/2008) and I have tried putting maxis simcard after I unlock it, it works of course.

As far as i concern, Telstra doesnt sell iphone outright anymore, optus stock is so limited, it is so hard to get. So basically u have to know the hole to get the stock.

Since AUD depreciates so much recently, it is the cheapest to get it from AUS.

Hi to all users,
Can I know what software and map is used by Iphone 3G?

So far from searches I see Google Maps, but does it provide turn by turn navigation?

If running GMaps, are we talking about a non-stop 3G data transfer like those used by other phones?
