Apple had slashed the 8-gigabyte iPhone 3G, which came out last year, now costs $99 (RM350), instead of $199.

Anyhow as for Malaysians the price is a bit too expensive. This is because Apple ties up with service providers to give discounted iphones but with contract with service providers. And the price of an iphone *without* any contracts is very expensive. Even though iPhone is selling at USD99 but u still need to subscribe to a service provider and tied with them for 1 year or 2. And funny that the new iphone still use a 3.2 MP camera!?.Plus,with contract..it is LOCK to AT&T network only. This means you can take out the simcard. but you cannot use simcard for other telco provider, thats why you need to inlock the iphones in malaysia, and unlocking means no more warranty.
if you want one, get one from maxis then..Down side is Maxis is overpriced! That’s why some buyer dont buy in malaysia…. they buy somewhere else. If you buy in Singapore, but bring back to Malaysia then change SIM card still, you can still use because singapore selling unlock iphones, but the bad news is the warranty you have to send to singapore. “SingTel, S$608 for 8GB which is RM1200+ (price with contract)”. Usually the phone without contract is around rm2k++, more than that… its considered expensive.
