it is also relatively common to see threads like these on whirlpool forum (oz LYN equivalent)






and yes, tinkelbel makes a good point there as well. hence don't simply lay out baseless claims next time

same analogy with, the vehicles registration numbers for wilayah persekutuan and selangor typically sail way ahead of the rest of malaysia?

those states are more dense in population and presumably have a slightly higher buying and contributed to most of the country's GDP?

please do try something radical and then report your results over here for our perusal. thank you

nope unfortunately.

two solutions:

1. go jailbreak your unit and then SHH or an equivalent method to retrieve the text message bit.

2. requires a MAC for this

or, the less sophisticated method; print screen the SMS conversation and send them to a dedicated e-mail account.

because obtaining adequate stocks from apple to sell/waiting for customs & SIRIM to clear them, is beyond maxis' control.

but promoting them is within and at every corporation's puritanical instinct

another solution then; move to another network provider, if you feel that maxis is not doing a good job.

simple. opt for a parallel/grey import then.

if you cannot settle for that, nothing to moan about.

life is never fair to begin with.

because local telecommunication law prohibits them from doing so.

well back in malaysia, i patronised machines (and other equivalent apple resellers locally) regularly as i couldn't afford buying them, i thought the least i could do is to experience apple products on hand.

they are not at all "lansi" as portrayed by you to be honest.

either you have incredibly high expectation of them or overly conscious or how the /k/ would call it; face problem

what huge, chunky profit that they are making over there.

assuming that they got their units from australia, the net price for the 16GB 3G S in MYR will be, 879 (10/11) * 3 = approximately RM2400

a neat RM900 per 16GB unit!

this ought to be sufficient to appease both whiners and moaners locally.

well so long that you are not tempted by the next generation iPhone, then you are definitely cool!

three points to observe here:

1. "up to" - hence chances are, you will be getting a better deal selling the previous iPhone over here in LYN

2. "RM1200" - is only applicable for this round and it may be different the subsequent generation.

3. maxis and other networks are not obliged to offer anything more i.e. offer you a deal to "upgrade" at a special price because you have signed a contract afterall. the contract is serving its sole purpose in the first place. you are at complete mercy/discretion of maxis. AT & T was an example when 3G S was launched.

it supports chinese.

i have seen students from the mainland china writing chinese characters on the iPhone before.

and just when i thought, the hassle of me taking and uploading the three pictures above, is adequate...

it is dependent on how the network negotiates the profit (in terms of sales/tariff percentage) with apple.

in australia, there are five separate networks, which offer the iPhone to the public.
