from my point of view right, if maxis/digi really coming with iphone4, i mean IF they are firm on it, they would have start the pre-order/advertisement. As they may facing the problem that minor crowd are getting their iphone4 outside this land.
but i quite sure maxis/digi not really bother by those minor crowd who get it outside of malaysia, lol, and their core earning is not really from selling the iphone, as this is price controller item. just my POV  |

QUOTE(Alviano @ Aug 22 2010, 09:35 PM) Sorry if I misused the word weeks. 10 weeks are still called weeks. Anyway, I don't know if you guys went for preorder or something, but do we get the phone on the exact date iPhone 3G launched? So soon after you grab one for yourself, iphone 3GS comes and the price of 3G dropped. Its my bad....I thgt u were on of those who kept on talking on getting iphone 5..Nvr read ur previous post...hehe Basically telling people not to buy an iPhone too close to the date of new iPhone launching date. For example, grabbing an iPhone 3GS now at price of RM2500 would not be wise right? Don't you agree? No? Nobody is saying about waiting for the next or better phone. In my previous post, I am saying about hoping to get the new iPhone 4 as soon as possible. So that the next year I can grab another one, exactly about 1 year later. If it comes late about Late September/October, then with all these shortage stock available (such as during February CNY for iPhone 3GS where people have to waits for 2 months for availability.) you will have your phone late of the year. By that time, you will be hearing rumours of new iPhone coming in with extra features and exactly same price as your current model. Don't you agree that the sooner we grab a hand on it the better? Rather than paying RM2500 just to know that the price will drop few weeks later. Ask those who bought iPhone 3GS now. Those who had it earlier had such smooth interface and those have it late will feel bad of the sluggish iOS4 interface on 3GS. Kinda stressful and blood boiling when using it. For your info, I am currently user of iPhone 3GS too and plan to get legal iPhone 4 when Maxis/Digi brings them in. iPhone 3G/3GS is not performing well in iOS4. Don't you think? Please don't be so defensive and bashing people.  |

With iphone4 constantly on facebook and skype with notifications turned on.. and with the thing of Facetime.. I think 500mb is barely enough.

Dude, unless you're gonna jailbreak ur phone or tether with ur PC, it's more than enough...BTW, Facetime only works with WIFI... Notifications would only cost you few kb's of data... the same goes with Msn, skype... Anyways, I have a small thing bugging me here... Anyone using hotlink plan with iphone3gs?? I am using the 3GS from hotlink plan since the first day it released last year which is around 31st July I think.... The data plans should be just free for 12 months right? The thing is, I am still able to use my mobile internet plans eventhough 1 year has passed... and I keep checking my credit but it's not deducted also... How? Can anyone enlighten me on this matter?

You can Facetime with friends using email address.im rather confused lol coz u have to dial the number first (which incur cost) then u pakai wifi for facetime (which is free) So you don't need to dial and no costs are incurred.

So yea, u would just be charged of ur phonecall Its because the telcos can't support Facetime as it requires a lot of bandwidth - approximately 3MB per minute.Imagine if many people out there use Facetime together? Maybe it will be supported by carriers next year. This post has been edited by fuiyo: Aug 23 2010, 01:04 PM |
