iPhone 3G will available next month according to this 3g iphone wrap up report. The price is cheaper than the expectation, but thinking about why Apple doesn’t list Indonesia in its distribution makes me lazy to think about it (AT&T didn’t available here).

*Update: It’s almost confirmed. iPhone will come to Indonesia, Read my updated post here.

**Update: Now you can buy unlocked iPhone here.

Here is the country where iPhone will be distributed:

July 11th in: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French), Belgium (Dutch), Canada (English), Canada (French), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French), Switzerland (German), UK, USA

    Really? How about if I buy from foreigner? But I must use “dollars” again to pay it, that’s :evil: :evil: :sad:

    @Orangndut
    Although you can buy it, you cannot use it in your country. :)

    It’s only $199?? I want it! Hum, how if I unlock it? There is a professional unlock service in ITC Fatmawati, they usually unlock sidekick, blackberry and some Japanese cell phone

  6. June 11th, 2008 at 09:43 | #6

    Yes, that’s the official price

    sory to all but all his said is rigt so no iphone 3G in indonesia^^

    here the link to proof it http://www.apple.com/au/iphone/countries/

    the reason why iphone did not come to Indonesia… its because you guys did not use contract service with your operator right?? you just buy the phone outright and choose operaor you want

    example like: – telkomsel, – XL, -mentari, ETC and you buy a voucher for filling your credit right?

    so thats why you guys hard to get iphone

    First of all thank you for a such wonderfull topic, well i have to say it is difficult for me to say if i agree with you or not. I will read it for a second time and let you know what i think

  9. July 6th, 2008 at 06:01 | #9

    hha…I don’t care iPhone will or will not come to INDONESIA…. But one thing that you can do is buying from Australia or Singapore…After that you unlock your iPhone… With that way, you can use iPhone in Indonesia… Hahhahahah…

    @IPHONE:

    what are you, stupid? In Indonesia, there is prepaid and postpaid cellular service. Most if not all operators offer both services, some even offer plans/packages/caps.

    The main reason iPhone is not available in Indonesia is because the market for that kind of phone is too small.

    Hmmm, interesting …

    3G iPhone is “not” available in Indonesia (laughing…..) Come On !!
    “Not Yet” is more like it.

    Available in Singapore (SingTel) but not Indonesia, where did they think Singapore biggest consumer from?

    Indonesia are the number three biggest consumer electronic for mobile, computing and other types of electronic after Japan and Hongkong. (Correct me if I’m wrong :)

    Indonesia also have Giant operator company such as Indosat, XL, Telkomsel (state owned 50% share, SingTel 35% share), Three, etc which provide all kind of services including data plan/voice plan/etc.

    So, 3G iPhone “should be” available in Indonesia. Even though still lacks of features No Video Recording, No MMS, No Voice Dialing, No User replaceable batteries, No Card Slot, No Stereo Bluetooth, No simple Copy & Paste function (huh…?). People are still camped out and waiting in line just to get their hand on the new 3GiPhone.

    But hey, that’s only my opinion. I’m confidence iPhone will be available in Indonesia later this year or perhaps next year :sad:

    Check out your itunes store guys…
    They (Apple) finally acknowledge your country… (Coz as far as I know and up until several days ago, as I know, Apple don’t give Indonesia an itunes store.
    There’s now an appstore for Indonesia in iTunes.
    So, could that mean that iPhone 3G is coming? Or is it just for the iPod touch (Damn Apple! Their TEAC disc drive was made in Indonesia for God sake! And I have prove of that!)

    Looking forward to hear any more news on this.

    #all,
    I really appreciate of all of your comments. Thanks.
    I hope so, If iPhone really come to us, it will be a great decision by Apple :) (I really want this phone, really). But there is no official press release yet. I’m waiting for that. :)

    they’re from Indonesia!!! with (+/-) Rp 40.000.000,- ,it’s about $4000 maybe, so far from Apple iPhone 3G that have a price: $199!
