This post will cover how to buy Unlocked iPhone 3G in many country and if your country doesn’t listed, choose from your nearest country available and I will share how to buy unlocked iPhone 3G that you have been wating for. I myself cannot guarantee about this stuff and use at your own risk.

Why unlocked one? Because iPhone, in its origin, is coming with partnership with cellular provider in United States and another country which iPhone is distributed.

Since Indonesia is not part of the market which iPhone 3G is distributed, we need to buy the unlocked one. Thall will make sure the iPhone can be inserted with our SIM card.

There are many options about iphone buying and pricing in your country, most of them a speculation. You can buy iPhone 3G, and then unlock it in your city. But there are no guarantee that will be succeeded.

The only option available is buy them from auction sites. I recommend Hong Kong because it’s near from Asia. There are Singapore market but I can’t open it, so, the nearest is Hong Kong. Here is step by step how to buy iPhone 3G for you:

1. Go to buyUnlockedIphone.com or click here and choose the country which is nearest from you. There are many country: [ US ] [ UK ] [ Australia ] [ Belgium ] [ Canada ] [ France ] [ India ] [ Italy ] [ Netherlands ] [ Singapore ] [ Spain ] [ Hong Kong ] [ Ireland ] [ Austria ] [ Switzerland ]. The main auction market is in United States (US) but it’s too far from here. And there are country that can’t be browsed such as Singapore and Belgium. The only options is Hong Kong or India.
2. Click the Country and you will go to auction site which you chosed. There are many trader over there, you can choose the price suits you. Remember: Be sure to see their reputation to make sure you are not scammed. But don’t worry, If you have paypal, you are protected by paypal dispute policy
3. Click the auction and start bidding. The price over there is not a final price. Is an auction price so you need to bid. If you can’t bid it’s because you aren’t registered yet, register first.
4. If you won the bid, pay the seller. Congratulation, you have iPhone 3G. Wait it for several days to be shipped by the seller.
5. If you didn’t get the stuff, report it to your paypal to get your money back. If you get the stuff, say thanks to the seller. he is a good one.

Last month, i wrote a post about Apple iPhone Not (yet) Available in Indonesian Market. But the gossips updated :D.

**Update: You can get iPhone from Hong Kong. I’ve wrote a tip how to buy unlocked iPhone 3G for Indonesian!!

And now Budi Putera, the owner of Asia Blogging Network wrote in his post that his colleague in Telkomsel told him that the negotiation between iPhone and Telkomsel almost confirmed.

According to post, the iPhone will be offered to the post paid consumers. And now Telkomsel working on how the pricing scheme is.

“Telkomsel will offer iPhone 3G here. It’s almost confirmed.”

We pray for this :D. As I know, kartuHALO is the Telkomsel’s postpaid service. I wonder how they merge/split their customer which is subscribed with it’s Telkomsel Flash.

Let’s analyze it. If the iPhone really come to us, Will it be offered with discounted price?

Yes we can jailbreak the iPhone 3G now.

go here: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/42858313/thanks-for-waiting

Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.

Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.

Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ;  if that directory already exists, remove any files in it.  Then re-run PwnageTool.

Update 4: Here’s another mirror.

Pwnage jailbreak tool for iPhone OS 2.0 released.

School is out for the summer, and this is a high chance for affiliate marketer to target music market. According to Hitwise Intelligence report, the weekly market share of visits for a custom category of Social Networking websites reached 6.82% for the week ending June 6, 2008.
