As much as I want it, Apple’s iPhone 3G isn’t officially available yet in my country, Indonesia. However, many people have already owned the gorgeous phone, ‘thanks’ to the black market. Fortunately, Telkomsel, one of largest telecommunication company in Indonesia, has just began accepting pre-order for iPhone 3G. This company will be one of the official distributor for the handset in the country, so if you want a legit iPhone 3G, I suggest you to fill the pre-order form and get in the queue line 
I already filled the form couple weeks ago, and yes, I do want iPhone 3G. Not for mobile communication purpose actually, as I already own Omnia and I love it very much, but mainly for its mobile entertainment and internet capabilities. Can’t wait to throw away my old iPod Video
