isnt amex a charge card? you should at least have a visa or master from maybank, since maxis is using that merchant device.

if celcome were to bring the iphone this year their "Register your interest with us" page would be up on their website the same time as DIgi and Maxis, most likely they'll offer iphone somewhere early next year, apple only allow new partners to sell iphones in the next subsequent year to give both Maxis and Digi a lead, maxis got their iphone 3G early 2009, digi was early 2010, celcom should be early 2011.

impossible maxis will be understaffed before and during Raya so its better for them to logically launch after raya.

depends on how you use itlah, if you are careful then its okay but since im clumsy i'd get the RM110 powersupport front and back screen protectors

i think i saw them selling tht option in their stores before.

i have a feeling it'll be end of september, and the pre orders will be mid september, remember the first week and second week people going back to their hometowns for hari raya,how to do business like that, you know malaysians lah not their festive days also they balik kampung

a bit the hard to do that since its less than 20 days before Hari Raya, if they were to do that then the pre orders should be next week already.

simple answer, turn 3G and cellular data off, and your iphone will be no different than the average nokia and SE out there.

hey guys i think its better not to discuss the reception issue here? we have a dedicated thread for iphone 4 and ios 4 and this thing has been debated to the hilt, the more we discuss this the more trolls will come over leaving trollbaits that causes flame wars.

nope apple makes it a point that one of the telcos sell outright/prepaid plans to customers, those of you whom are worried about the prepaid plans make sure to get it at launch day itself and of course head to those maxis centers without much clientele

production for the 16 & 32GB 3GS stopped a long time ago, what we have now is maxis's overstock of the 32GB, they could only offer significant discount through 2 year contract, i doubt they are gonna decrease the outright/prepaid purchase of the phone.

the microsim would be the primary sim recognized by maxis the old sim will be a dummy sim, and the whole process can be done on the same day.

unless of course he opts for this http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/latest/pr...sm_benefits.asp

err if given the choice i dont wantlah too confusing, rather have a DIgi or Celcom as an additional line.

damn oh well, then we are back to the old pricing then, iphones were never cheap to begin with.

then get the ivalue plan for the price to be cheaper

looks like its gonna be 2490 and 2990 respectively for 16 and 32GB, or maybe RM 100 -Rm150 price decrease.

how are the Telcos in a disadvantage position? Maxis also sells non-contracted iPhones through its centers under the name of the hotlink plan which gives users 500MB data for 12 months, if apple online store had the iphones for sale they couldnt possibly offer that and you'd havto source and find the best telco with best data plan, plus i can vouch that the telcos's has no say of what apple could do with the iphone, as always apple is the more strong and vocal partner, just take a look at Singapore, i see no issues there. People would generally stick to the plans because at the end of the day you cant lump the calls and data together with the iphone as its final price because irregardless of whether its an iphone or a sony ericcson you'd still be calling, surfing and messaging people. Again the delay could be due to Agency approval(Sirim, government agencies) and the fact Malaysia is a second tier market to apple, Singapore is first, now you see the big picture?

@stringfellow
selamat hari raya brother, somehow this festivity breeds assumption based logic, and i bet there will be many to come.

@david9
there is no Singaporean apple store, Maxis and Digi are the only parties responsible for warranty claims, it doesnt not mean you go over to Singapore they'd give you coverage.
