The fact that the Bumper can solve "a bit" or the issue makes me wonder if this is a hardware design flaw rather than something that can be resolved by software. Let's hope though it'll only be an RF weakness on AT&T's networks, but then again, most of the LOS is still on EDGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushi5734 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Hmm not had any of those issues myself it seems pretty sturdy in comparision with the 3G and 3GS however I'm going to keep mine wrapped in a case. Overall I've got to say I'm very impressed with it so far one thing would be cool would be free voice guided sat nav by google maps and a dedicated camera button.

scratt Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) I'll have one 16GB or one 32GB iPhone 4 going spare on Sunday evening / Monday morning. Basically I got one of each size for someone who was not sure of the size they want, knowing I can sell it at MBK if no-one else takes it. Will be selling the 16GB at 30,000 Baht, or if it is the 32GB it will go for 36,000 Baht. (UK Model and Unlocked.) PM me if anyone is interested. (No Offers. No TIme Wasters Please.

nikster Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Majority of the new iPhones seem to be plagued with antennae issues when you're touching the lower left corner of the device. I was a bit surprised when Apple suddenly decided to sell the Bumpers when they were never into iPhone cases or shells before but now there may be something behind that decision. Link with Video Yeah the antenna problem seems real - many reports. Easily fixed, get the bumpers from Apple and put it on. Or if you're putting it in a case anyway, you'll never notice this problem. Doesn't deter me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosoul Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 honestly, I have the same problem with my current BB 9700. As soon as I cover the back of the phone with my hand, the wifi signal occasionally drops to a minimum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 AIS are also having a midnight iPhone 4 release party on the 23rd. You can throw your hat in the ring Here. And here is a blog that is keeping track of the release. Yes, iPhone 4 will be released in Thailand on the 24th. They will be factory unlocked and carry a warranty that is valid in Thailand. The grey market ones being offered here will not have a valid Thai warranty. I'd suggest that you better drop your prices and get rid of them within the next few days.

bubba Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 What operators have micro-sim cards? Does dtac have? I would assume they would, since they are releasing iPhone 4 this week. Maybe you could give them a call? I know that AIS and True both have free micro sims available for existing subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Just came across a site in Thai that claims to have a leak on the prices: 16 GB - "about" 23,900 32 GB - "about" 27,900 They are saying that these prices should include VAT. As the article says, if you add VAT on top of these numbers, the resulting price number would not be "beautiful". Guess we will know for sure in a couple of days if this leak is correct, but the numbers look about right to me. Siam Pod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilster Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I bought my 32Gb HK model from MBK with 29,300baht. Screen protect was 400b and 300b so total cost 30k. USA version was 1000b cheaper. I got dtac micro-sim from Paragon dtac store but they didnt let me keep old number because I didnt have passport with me. So need to go there again soon.

bubba Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Sorry to do a repeat posting, but just in case you are following this thread and not the other one: ------------ It's official now. I signed up last week with AIS for an invitation to buy an iPhone at launch. Just received an email confirmation stating "we are pleased to inform that a reservation is now available for you, along with a form to complete stating when I want to pick it up. Pickup is available at the midnight launch on 23 September (yawn) or at several time slots on 24, 25, and 26 September. Interestingly, there is no mention of a price, but I've signed up anyway. Only black is available, in 16 or 32GB. Looks like time slots are filling up quickly. In the time it took me to complete this post, several became unavailable before I submitted the web form, including the midnight launch. If you received one of these invitations from AIS and you want an iPhone 4, you better get your web form in straight away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphone4SGP Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 i bet it'll be sold out on the day of launch. With iphone launch in M'sia and philippines around the same time, the supply probably can't meet the pent up demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I guess AIS relay thought that the 3g bidding will participate last Monday. It would be a new company image + launch of IPhone 4 The govt. seems to be behind 3G this time around - what's surprising is that the government can apparently not control government-owned companies like TOT and CAT.
