Hi Joe. I haven't finished them yet (life got in the way). They will start back up in March. Here's one: The iPhone Thai Language Phrasebook review.

Hello, did you ever post the reviews? Can’t seem to find them.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the nudge (I need to get back to posting this series).

The series will cover:
The Thai alphabet
Thai verbs and nouns
Thai word of the day
Thai dictionaries
Online translators
Learning Thai with flashcards
Online Thai learning sites for the iPhone
Using your iPod files on your iPhone

It will also list the different Thai resources (newspapers, radio, travel, etc)

For learning Thai on the iPhone… it all comes down to your level. Do you need to learn the Thai alphabet, increase your vocabulary, and/or add new phrases?

For an iPhone dictionary, rumour has it that one of my favourite Thai dictionaries will be launched on the iPhone this January, so I plan to hold that subject in the series until then.

To help you out, I guess I’d better finish up those reviews :-)

Martin, Apple (US) are selling iPhones starting at US$99, with the newer version coming in at US$199.

I paid US$800 for the iPhone 3G, and I believe the iPhone 3GS in Thailand is now US$900. I opted for a contract at about US$30 per month (about what I was paying each month for 12Call).

If you don’t want a contract in the US you will need to pay more, but it is still cheaper than buying an iPhone in Thailand.

The Real Cost of an iPhone 3GS = US$599

Talen,

I’d recommend you not buy an iPhone before you come here, the prices are actually less here than you’d pay in the US in total as you can buy them here legally without a contract and they are officially unlocked, meaning you can use any provider. Unlike in the US where they’d be locked to AT&T only and you’d have to mess about with software unlocking it which is not a pleasant experience for a new user.
