Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the new 3G version of Applie iPhone yesterday at a ceremony. The launch of new 3G iPhone coincides with the date last year when the first iPhone was launched. For the Pakistani crowd, who have yet to officially get hold of any iPhone are using the unlocked version for quiet some time now and you can find them in many pockets across the country. The iPhone was selling at a premium rate of Rs36000 at many places and online shops like MyShop etc.
The most interesting feature of the new iPhone is its faster speed to browse and low price compared to the their previous version. The phone will be launched in 22 countries on 11th of July and will reach our Pakistani market in a week time as witnessed from our previous experiences. I think it will cost around Rs. 20,000 in Pakistan for the 8GB version while it will cost around Rs. 27,000 for the 16GB version. With this new price tag, am sure it will be a big hit in both international and Pakistani market.
There are not much features beside the 3G and built in support for GPS navigation. From what i found that Apple is now going into the game of volume and market penetration as already they have sold 6 million copies of the orignal iPhone and targets to cross 10 million mark by the end of 2008. I predict that they will safely cross the 10 million mark till October or November 2008.

TO iPhone 3G buyer, THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE,
I ordered 3 iPhones from the fraudster MR. DAVID BRIAN. Then he gave the Invoice of the ordered products and he demanded me to transfer money by Western Union. After I paid, He told me that my package got stuck at the custom and He DEMANDED to pay the custom duty. After all I knew that he is fraudster. So, PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HIM. And If someone is kind enough, just tell me how to get this guy to jail. Thank.

Iphone 3g has not yet been launched in pakistan officially as per http://www.istore.com.pk in some palces you can get iphone for around rs.40000 to 50000 or near and NO USE OF BUYING from pak or abroad as it not officially launched in pak iphone has a non rechangeable battery and if battery is dead the phone can be exchanged for a new one not replaced only APPLE AUTHORIZED DEALERS can do it as per its policy to provide new iphones if the batteries of old iphone gets expired so wait until it is officially launched even i thought to order it from abroad but didnt because of this reason.

hi guyz kia haaaaall hai ap logo ka
Hi FriendZ
is any1 give the latest price of iphone 3gs. I Live in KArachi and want to purchase.
Or any apple outlet here in pakistan to purchase the same.
Need yr help guys
Well i think apple should be the product of the century. It has changed the concept of mobiles and many companies tried copying it but failed and not even one has managed to compete with it. Nokia has come up with N97 which is nice but i do not think that its better than iphone. Well i am just waiting for NOKIA AEON ( http://www.domesticutilities.com/aeon.htm ) and i think this phone might be the best phone of the future.
Other than that apple is going to launch their TABLET PC ( http://www.domesticutilities.com/apple.htm ) next month and i think they are going to make bare money out of it as well.
