hi guys. im sorry if this question has been asked but im wondering how much iphone 3G S will cost here in Malaysia. is it the same price as in garage sale where ppl selling unlocked set from oz? thanks!

Currently on 3.0, my i3G often gets overheat when using Safari (3G/WiFi) or while listening to my music. Have you guys encountered this problem?

Feels kinda warm while using, especially when using push email.

Maybe that MMS settings Maxis offer is for those who don't use officially unlocked Maxis units as for us the officially unlocked with Maxis active line, the carrier update in iTunes will have those settings already so the iPhone is ready to go. There's no settings to mess inside and be found inside the iPhone's settings, it's taken care of.

F**king awesome show, Altered Frequency brought down the house at the Mac+iPod Discovery Week in Midvalley! Videos to prove it later, DG you are officially in my books the coolest bassist and moderator I've ever known.

Altered Frequency even played TWO songs using the iPod Touch! Thunderous cheers, baby! You guys f**king ROCK!

Agreed. The price is bucking Maxis' own trend of slaughtering their customers. They finally learn that there is a way to make to make money without making their customers angry.

What is the minimum I have to pay for Maxis Hotlink plan? Can I just open up an account with them, buy the cheapest Hotlink prepaid pack and be done with? If it is still a plan even on prepaid, then I'm bailing out.

Thanks bro Teikwing.

So this is as easy as "buying a prepaid pack and head to their Maxis Center, state to them you're buying the RM2990 option for prepaid Hotlink 32GB 3G[S], pay RM200 for booking fee, and wait till 31/7? and pick up your iPhone there and then?"

I'm stating "head to Maxis Center" because the online booking website seems to lock out prepaids from continuing past step 3.

Enquiring this for a lady friend sitting next to me, could'nt get in touch with my bro for clarification.

Thank you, bro! She wanted to kiss you for delivering this good news, but she kissed me instead. So looks like I have to pass the kiss to you then.

Cheers!

You can even order the ACPP for iPhone via their respective Apple Online Stores...

Just coming back from maxis klcc, no one said it will launch on 28/7/09. Also call maxis, got same answer. Any source to confirm this?

For all your information, 28th is the launching date for i3gs, and 31st is the collection date...launching and collection is both diff thing...

I never read that, it's the maxis centre rep that told me so, cause she is involved in the road show for the launching, but god knows where is the launching, cos i nv bother asking =)

Seriously I'm not very clear with the iPhone Maxis Plan, currently my sister is using Maxis Value Plus 150 with supplemented 3 lines for my family including me, so can I subscribe the iPhone 3G S 16GB with this maxis plan? Or my sister need to switch to iValue Plan? Can some one tell me more about getting iPhone.

PS: iValue Plan is only for iPhone?

Does activation affect any use of the iPhone after I switch to a non-Maxis mobile service provider? i.e itunes access and all.

@tinker,

thanks for your explaination.. wanna ask 1 more question, sorry for being so troublesome, i not thinking to have the 500MB FOC data, is it possible i take my friend's prepaid sim card and activate it? so that the FOC Data can be transfer into his account? if yes, do i need to bring my friend to go as well? cause the prepaid might register under his name..

how to connect?and how to download?
btw i have a mac with me

i was wondering what were the corresponding model numbers with the different carriers in different countries where string put up this link...Locating iPhone Wireless Carriers which was listed as well the different numbers for each country. It doesn't appear anymore...how come? and who knows what will the model numbers be in Malaysia and if they are different from the rest or not?

note the terms "onwards" & "subject to availability"

besides what's the point moaning about it? it is not like by doing so, the iPhones will arrive any sooner.

might as well hallucinate, on how are you gonna rip that shiny iPhone box open!

Looks that way b'coz of the anti-oil/finger print new filming on the screen. Its just fine.

I am not refer to THAT kind of tint that you had in mind. That will be definitely a defect. But I am refering to the 'difference' in the colour temperature.

Please read this review and cut out with the 'nonsensical' comments. Unless you are claiming to be the resident expert in all things iPhone.

Slight 'tint' on new iPhone 3GS

And besides, this is off-topic on registrations, bookings n collections.

refurbished as in recond? so hows the condition of a recond set?

Apple estimates that the iPhone will lose 20 percent of its capacity  — a darn sight less than 100 percent — “after 400 full charge and discharge cycles.”

“Sadly, there are some inaccurate reports out there,” Apple marketing vice president Greg Joswiak told me today during a brief phone call from New York City. Joswiak isn’t quite sure where the story went off the rails — David Pogue’s initial New York Times review of the iPhone mentioned the battery issue, but Pogue got it right: “Apple says that the battery starts to lose capacity after 300 or 400 charges.”

Somehow, though, things got lost in translation. And follow-on reports started claiming that 300 to 400 charges would be the end of the line.

"After 400 complete cycles, the iPhone’s battery still has 80 percent of its charged capacity,” Joswiak said. “And by a complete charge cycle, I mean completely draining the battery, a full chemical cycle.” In other words, using a little battery and then putting your iPhone back in its dock doesn’t count as a charge cycle. If you use a quarter of your iPhone’s battery and then re-charge it, Joswiak said, that’s the equivalent of a quarter of a charge cycle.

“If you top it off, you’re not wasting a charge cycle,” Joswiak said.

Apple’s iPhone battery page explains the rated life and lifespan of an iPhone battery, and also provides some helpful tips about how to extend battery life. For example, the page suggests that “for proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, be sure to go through at least one [full] charge cycle per month.”

So let’s put this in perspective: if you completely drained your iPhone’s battery every day — which would be a whole lot of use, since Apple estimates the iPhone can offer up to 8 hours of talk time per charge — in about 13 months your battery would only hold 80 percent of its current charge.

Or to put it another way, battery use will vary widely from person to person, but generally your iPhone will still be providing all but the heaviest users with good battery life even two years from now.

“Most iPhone users will realize, as most iPod customers realized, that they never needed to replace their batteries,” Joswiak said.

For those who do eventually need to replace the iPhone battery a few years down the road (assuming they haven’t upgraded to a new model by then), Apple will offer a battery-replacement program. If your iPhone’s battery dies young (i.e., within the first year), then you’re covered by Apple’s warranty and the company will replace your battery for free.
