New discovery from Unlocked 3G iPhones

josephng — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:15:42 +0800

Important news. I just had a brief discussion with my supplier regarding the unlocked iPhone 3G.

Apparently, the 3G function currently cannot be utilized in Malaysia at the moment except for Maxis customer who used to have old 3G service SIM card. This happens the same to every Malaysians who existingly used an unlocked iPhone (except for phones that came from New Zealand and Hong Kong).

Nevertheless, it is still all right for you to purchase the phone now as there will be a free unlocker tool for anyone to unlock the 3G service in the very near future.

Anyone care to share your experience in this matter? Telco-unlocked iPhone owners need not apply.

Here are the benchmarks I manage to crank out. Too bad I don't have some of the software to duke it out since time is not something I have a lot... But anyway, here goes:

I wanted to test more games like ES4: Oblivion, Quake 4, etc....but I do not really have much time! I think the benchmarks (not really a benchmark cuz no comparison, but well...) are quite sufficient to show how this rig performs. Any comments are welcomed! I'm so happy with my current rig now!
