Update: 3G iPhone in Bangkok/Thailand
Kind of bored with Thai politics and analyses at the moment. So why not talking about the essentials of a fulfilled life: The arrival of the 3G iPhone in Bangkok.
Todd the iPhreak did some research. MBK has price signs up. Most reliable and always most expensive Winner Telecom wants 38,000 to 40,000 baht for a 16GB.
They expect the first shipment by the end of July. Quite a steep price curve. We warned you. But then again, there are legit unlocked iBeauties out there.
Did myself a little research. Happened to be in France when the iPhone was launched in La Grande Nation. Beautiful piece of design by the way. Gosh is it sensual. Has the correct texture and weight, irresistible.
Orange France wants 709 euros for an officially unlocked 16GB. All you have to do is wait for two weeks to get Apple’s unlock code.
Some other company wants to sell me legally unlocked iPhones from the U.S. Good prices, free shipping, but not sure yet if I can trust them.
But then again,”unlock will be coming soon according the the websites that I regularly visit,” assures me the iPhreak - who just received his first 3G iPhone.
The first one in Bangkok?
No, he’s in love already.
Doesn’t want to sell it.

More than the Obvious
absolutely Bangkok.com offers some girlie talk. There's a myriad of concerned girlie analysts out there already. We feel there is slightly more to Bangkok than the obvious and often-enough-said-and-tried-it-all. We got our own takes on how the "poor Thai women from the countryside with a modest education can make well-educated, worldly Western men do really crazy things," as an old Bangkok hand once said.

Other than for showing off, why would I need to spend this much money on a phone?
You’re completely right Aart, that full price is an insane amount of money.
But as a working tool, if you have to browse the internet on the go and such, it’s a way to go.
