I-Phones is Expensive in Malaysia

I understand that the price for an I-phone(8gb) is RM4k+ in Malaysia. Thats really expensive for a phone while I can buy a good PC with RM4K.

If I will to buy an i-Phone, I will buy it in a foreign country where the price is much cheaper. For example in Hong Kong, it is selling at HK$4380.00 (USd560.00) about RM2K which is 50% cheaper than the KL price. For those who want to unlock their iPhones is around USD50.

Why is it that the price in Malaysia is so much more expensive!!!!

Update 02 Oct 07: I was at Section 14 IT Mall this pm and I enquired about the i-phone at one of the shop. The price for 4gb is RM2,699 and 8gb : RM3699. The salesperson told me that he have 6 units unlocked left only. The new batch for other markets are protected and they cannot unlocked them anymore.Publish Post

  2. Wow, thats very expensive. You are right.

    Better spend it on a good pc with that kind of money.

    Prices of technology products always fluctuate.

    Overtime, the value will decreased, and you get a better deal. It comes with patience... =)

    You might want to read our review on I-Phone and take closer look of I-Phone and the Scratch/Drop Test video..

    Take care, flsam..See ya around.

    What? Alamak can go bankrupt lah if you buy iphone in malaysia. Better wait till the price go down ( a lot!) which I am sure as these gadgets stuff tend to outdate very fast.
