mmkin Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 19,500 at MBK Does this price include the chip for the iphone to recognise the simcard as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianMavis Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Theres no chip and yes it comes ready to use. You sure 19,500? When did you last see that price? I was under the impression they were up to 26,000 at least due to limitted supplies since the new models cannot be used in Thailand yet.

Damian oh i see. i think the no chip ones are the older firmware version of 1.1.1... the 1.1.2 requires a chip.. the 1.1.3 is unhackable at the moment... i've been quoted more than 22k in MBK.

Abrak Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 As far as I know there are 2 prices.... (1) One for the 1.1.2 phone that cannot be unlocked. Users must use a cut sim card to use their iphone. These phones are about Bt21k. (2) The rarer 1.1.1 phones can be fully unlocked and can use any sim card but a shortage of supply means that they are selling for about Bt25k. It looks like the latest iphones need an extra bit of hardware to unlock them and the days of software unlock are gone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StateSix Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I was quoted between Bt 21,500 and Bt 24,000 in MBK on Saturday. A shop in Pantip had it on sale for Bt 27,900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian You are closer Damien, i walked the 4th floor on saturday last and best price was 22.000, they have gone up in Pattaya from 22000 to 27000 !

nikster Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 This is the first time I have ever heard of prices for an electronic gadget going up Personally, I'd wait until 1.1.3 firmware is hacked, it's supposed to happen pretty soon. At that point prices will drop again. I must say that 19,500 baht mentioned above is amazingly cheap though, I'd go for that any time. That's EUR 400, or as much as you would pay for a locked-down phone + 2 year commitment in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were reports of people going to all the Apple stores in an area and buying 5 - the daily limit per person - every 24 hours. They must have made a ton of cash esp. when they sold on ebay for $700... easy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjo o tjim Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yahoo is saying that AIS is in discussion to offer the iPhone in Thailand. Curious how it would work with all the pre-paid customers here wanting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yahoo is saying that AIS is in discussion to offer the iPhone in Thailand. Curious how it would work with all the pre-paid customers here wanting it. Playing devil's advocate, I'd say nothing prevents AIS from locking the iPhone to their AIS SIM cards. Post-paid or prepaid, it would only work on AIS. Of course the revenue sharing is a bit of an issue, AIS saying there isn't enough margin in their 1 baht / minute plans to give Apple 30%... I don't think they'll resolve this any time soon unless Apple somehow gets a clue and gives up on it's bone-headed revenue sharing demands.

bubba Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Looks like iPhone 1.1.3 has now successfully been hacked with a new jailbreak: http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/iphone-113...lbreak-released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 And on that page.. This jailbreak, like the 1.1.2 jailbreak, comes as an upgrade. This means you need to have a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone already, before you can begin. So how would that help all the 1.1.3 phones being sold ??
