iPhone 3G Pre-order Form

Telkomsel has made the registration process public. The previous registration link posted have been replaced by http://www.telkomsel.com/iphone whereby anyone can register to reserve an iPhone 3G. All three models are available, Black 8GB, Black 16GB and white 16GB.

Unfortunately right now Telkomsel's website is very slow to load, possibly under heavy traffic. In addition, as with many other countries during the initial launch back in July 2008, Telkomsel has yet to release pricing details so right now we still have no idea how much the phones will be selling for, whether the data plan will included in the basic package at all, whether the phone will be sold locked or unlocked or if it will be similar to SingTel in Singapore whereby they sell them unlocked but tied to a 24 month contract.

The reservation is commitment free. There are no considerations (money) exchanged between you and Telkomsel at the time of registration so both parties will be free to back away from the deal.

If you're after an iPhone, make sure you have an iTunes account set up. Your iPhone won't be of much use without one.

"very soon" sounds a bit too optimistic, i think. even Tsel themselves announced it "in the coming months" and publicly declared nothing is set except for the signing of agreement between them and Apple

"available very soon"
when?
how easy is it to get?
how quickly can i get it?

answer :
"kami akan menghubungi anda setelah iPhone 3G tersedia"

With most of the 81 countries that carry iPhone 3G it took less than 2 months between announcing the agreement to actual retail availability. It will be available this quarter at the very least.

@iiiccchhhaaa SPOT ON! Hahahahaha!!

I don't think it's gonna be $199 in Indonesia, I heard it's gonna be more like $400-ish maybe more or maybe less. I live in US, and i do have Iphone 3g, just bought it couple days ago.

Jan 27, 2009

hmm..gitu yah..$400
itu yang berapa yang 8GB?
yah itu kan andaikan aja..
tapi anyway gw udah cobain juga kok produknya telkomsel dari temen gw..
kok agak lemot yah?
better i use blackberry cuuy...

well, it's all optional i believe so. But buying iphone 3g in US so much cheaper and different rather than buyin in indonesia, in order to get the iphone 3g you have to buy the rate plane and the minimum contract for 2 years with at&t. The reason why i'd rather choose iphone 3g than blackberry storm, is because iphone is so much faster for browsing, downloading games, musics, software, and of course check my email. maybe that's why, it's alil bit pricey in Indonesia to buy iphone 3g because it doesn't include the rate plan, and etc. and there's no reason to buy iphone 3g in indonesia if the network is just so horrible, and so darn slow! So once again, it's all personal choices ....

You don't know that. There is no way you know how much iPhone 3G from
telkomsel costs unless you work for them or for Apple.

The prices you see today are unofficial and for unauthorized iPhones.
You can't compare it with official prices elsewhere. Must wait until
Telkomsel release their pricing.

That's true, i don't know yet, i just read from some random blog, that's what i assumed.
didn't mean to be "know-it-all", or etc...

masih banyak kekurangan di iphone 3G, dan bisa dikonfirmasi melalui situs2 majalah elektronik besar spt cnet, dll. kekurangan-nya adalah fungsi2 basic dari HP tapi kalo nggak ada bisa merepotkan/bikin sebel spt : 
- tdk bisa SMS forwarding 
- bluetooth hanya utk. handset, tidak bisa transfer data 
- pengaturan group contact lebih susah 
- tdk bisa MMS 
- camera 2MP tdk auto focus dan tdk ada flash (utk. HP high-end rasanya nggak asik) 
- 3g msh blm stabil (tapi mgk utk ini hrs dibuktiin sendiri)  
positivnya adalah interface yg super ciamik fantastis, dan internet browser sama spt kalo kita buka di komputer (isyilah yg mereka pake adalah "full web browser). Pastinya iphone bias berfungsi sbg ipod, dan banyak aplikasi yang bias di download dari mulai game, utility, dll dari Apple Store baik gratis dan bayar. Tapi berapa banyak sih dari kita yg pengen pake iphone jadi ipod, dan download aplikasi banyak, malah ngabisin baterei cepet ?
utk HP memposisikan sbg multi-media iphone msh jauh dg blakcberry baik yg curve apalagi BB bold, ato nokia e71. Bisa Tanya aman temen yg udah punya.

It's very true indeed, that iphone only have 2mp camera, but for 3G iphone beat the blackberry, for browsing, downloading while you're on your call, it's very possible. It all depends on the provider, here iphone work together with AT&T unlimited internet services!. Before i bought iphone 3g (i bought it from best buy), they compared between iphone 3g and blackberry storm, and they showed it to me, that iphone is way faster than blacberry for browsing downloading, etc.
Although, there're some weaknesses here and there, including blackberry itself, but hey, it's all go back to personal choices!
To me, iphone helped me alot to do some work email, get me quick direction for map GPS, browsing it everywhere with the wi-fi technology, and warp it up with all cool entertainment for instances: musics, video, youtube, stocks, weather, news, etc...That's all i need. :)
