Should be a lot higher than that. Maybe it's not as bad now that you can get unlocked world phones in Canada easily

2x in HK is a must for the first 1-2 weeks. Sin Tat mall already says $10,000 for the first lot guarantee delivery on 15 Oct, but mainlanders are not stupid as before, like the ipad2, they have already setup connections in oversea for direct shippment, several Taobao pages already claims it is directly from US and ready for pick up the next day. I hope Sin Tat price can maintain a lot longer.

No launch schedule for Hong Kong, so profit is a must$$$

No way... lol

I don't think you can get 15-20k RMB for White 64GB, 10k probably but 15k is pushing it.. lol you never know though..

This is based on 6:1 conversion rate in RMB lol

No way Sin Tat is owned by 3, 4 owners or one large group. I was saying the same thing before knowing someone who has worked there for many years. For sure some stores are owned by people with triad background, but they don't work as a group or have no control to the cellphone market price. They are running a legit business to make a living.

Definitely you get 15K, but at least 50 of those RMB hundred dollar bills will be counterfeit bills. LOL. There are stores that will have someone to go to the nearest bank you prefer to do transaction, but it's still scary business. I tried once after iphone4 was launched and would never do it again.

If there is triad involvement, then for sure it can only be one group. Otherwise you'd see people with meat cleavers and lead pipes all the time

I actually was stending behind someone holding a lead pipe while going up the escalator at another sleazy mall.. I didn't follow him to see a real live 'pek yau' though

everything is owned by gangsters in asia

the yakuza owns/controls the banks which own everything in japan

in china if its not triad owned its govt owned and the triad/govt are harmonious

south east asian countries are just slightly more civilized than mexico narco-states



but most people don't notice the gangsters until it drops to the bottom of the barrel level where they're all tattiied out and carrying lead pipes/machetes

right, Hk is owned by one person, Lee Ka Shing, therefore, Sin Tat is owned by Lee Ka Shing, which means Lee Ka Shing is the triad Dai Low

I got bored and updated to iOS5 GM version.

You don't need a dev account or anything and there is no tricks needed to do it at all.

Just download the ispw, install itunes 10.5 beta 7, put your phone in recovery mode, and shift+click restore and select the ispw and done!

iCloud works too.

the thing i don't like about iMessage is that you can't choose to send a sms over iMessage.

What if I wanna send a text instead?? I can't anymore. It'll always shoose iMessage by default.


I wish they would make a list of all the contacts of people who have iMessage.


iClouds and wifi-sync to iTunes is awesome.


Log into www.icloud.com to see all the stuff in your iCloud (including the Find My Phone in case you lose your phone and want to locate it).

^I have the exact same problem. I can't send txt messages instead of iMessages anymore... I just hope it doesn't cause me to go over my data limit.. Also, if I am on Wifi then it uses that instead of my data for iMessage right?

Correct. Wifi is always priority over data.

I have 2500 texts a month and only 500mb. I would much rather use text first if I could.
