200chf with 55chf/month tariff is really cheap though, who will buy a v1 iPhone? Those selling them would have to sell them at a loss to make them attractive.

There are still plenty of Sunrise customers who'll be willing to pay for an unlocked one. I just sold mine for 450.- but that one was almost a year old.

Dear mods - this thread is over 1000 posts long, wouldn't it be better to have a new thread for the 3G iPhone?

I feel stupid that I reserved one at swisscom before they announced the prices but I'll just wait and see if Orange comes out with a better plan and if the prices are better then I will get it at Orange. Is it possible to cancel a pre-order??

I've got to believe you can if they allow you to cancel the contract within 2 weeks of taking it (see their website for that, plenty of links above).

Since you pre-ordered before the prices were announced, the order isn't valid anyway - Swisscom reportedly canceled all pre-orders made before last Tuesday. Apart from that: reservations in Swisscom Shops aren't binding anyway (for neither side!)

Oh Ok. I'll just wait to see the orange plans.

I went in to Swisscom last Saturday on Bahnhoffstrasse ZH and was told that I couldn't reserve one.

they officially started accepting pre-orders last Tuesday.

Please countinue the discussion in the new iPhone 3G thread.

I've reopened the thread as it doesn't need to be closed. Always feel free to create new topics when you think that there is a subject that truly deserves its own topic.

As for those folks with iPhones that aren't 3G, you can post here or create a new thread. It's up to you, the users.

Hi to all. I'm new to this forum, just found it, and I'm glad I did .
So I've got some questions about the iPhone 2G. I'm from Macedonia but I will be visiting Swiss soon, and I was wondering what's the price of the iPhone 2G but without a contract-just the price of the phone, and in which stores could I find it(in Zurich or Schafhausen). Also, I'm curious about the new iPhone, the 3G one. What's it's price without a contract?

2g is no longer available, it is fully superceded by the 3g.

just check www.swisscom.ch for tarrifs.

The version 1 iPhone was never officially/generally available in Switzerland. Some shops sold phones imported from the us.

Only swisscom sells the iPhone 3g unlocked - for 899 and 1199 chf (8gb/16gb)

More info in the faq. Availability is close to non-existent at the moment

Peter

This is without a contract right??

Thanks anyway

Are you sure Swisscom is selling the iPhone unlocked? I believe that they are selling it with a prepaid option, which means that there is no ongoing contractual obligation and no monthly fee. However, it is often the case that phones sold this way are indeed vendor locked, which means you cannot just buy the phone and use it with whatever SIM card you like. Have you checked this explicitly? I tried to look into the Swisscom terms and conditions and it was not clear (it may be that you essentially need to registered to find out the detailed terms).

i unlocked my 1st generation iphone last night using pwnage tool 2.01 and the tutorial on www.iclarified.com.

works like a charm and now i have the app store on my phone, which is surprisingly great!

krlock3.

question: i have heard from iphone G2 users its not possible to send mass sms and you cant save a draft, the text got lost. is that a) true, b) still the same with G3 models?

i do not know about the draft thing, maybe not.

you can send to more than one person, you select individually.

txts do not "get lost".

dont believe everything you hear.

i dont, thats why i have asked. i simply couldnt imagine apple not thinking while developping n selling an iphone that these features have to be standard. might be he simply does not know how to do it...is it possible to have a customized ring tone? im no jamba subscriber and dont do very much pimping my mobile fons but im just curious...
