For Export Sets
This model box is much more smaller than the local sets
And, the accessories include charger head, data cable, ear piece.


The Local set looks like this

The box model and serial number as follows.
This is for the white color.

MC134ZA/A
**This is for the bros here who don't know how to differentiate 3G Iphone and the 3GS when buying in shops or from those selling in forums/market place and also between the export (other countries) and local singtel one**
*statement copied from mobile_crazy thrend*
---------------------------------------------------------
if you are getting a set thats not from a direct dealer and the set does not come with a recipt, pls check the serial number on this site, even if the site claims the set has a local singapore warranty, as long as the iphone is unlocked via itunes, there HAS to be a date on the below website. if is shows that its still not registered, it might Still be a Export set
