don't u all feel insulted? digi only tells "very soon" for the iphone to come. but not even an estimated date for launching. they are keeping u all to wait. manipulating u all. its not like their telco is better than maxis. and yet u all still get manipulated by this digi telco. only this reason is enough for all digi users to jump ship to maxis. they are not respecting us as their customers! is that how u would treat your one and only source of revenue?

With all due respect, I think "very soon" is better than "out of stock", which is practiced very often by the other telco. They did not really manipulate per se. To be fair, they did not mention when the actual launch date will be since day one. It is a marketing strategy. Just like Toyota with it's new facelift Vios. We are still waiting. I remember before competition came, the other telco made ppl wait for up to 45 DAYS just to buy an iphone. Now, doesn't that sound more like a "manipulation"? Now with Digi coming into the picture, suddenly they have ready stock always albeit limited quantity.

Agreed. Not only marketing strategy but behind the scenes action as well. They need to test everything to make sure it's fully ready and not going to tell a certain date then put in hold on due to technical difficulties etc.

Yep, I still remember the other telco made others wait up to 45 days. Fortunately for me when I asked them to check my track record on how much I've been spending etc and I told them I want it then and there, straight away I can get it. In short basically they do have short stock in hand just in case for whose who perhaps.

Duh companies like Apple make us wait mah wait la. we wait for quality prodcuts. but Digi? who are them lol. maxis is provding much better service than them. if they can match the service quality at least on par with maxis then of course wont mind waiting.

dude, u need to take a chill pill. maxis ain't really a saint as well.

but at least with Digi launching iphone packages, it will be much more competitive and benefits us as the consumers instead of having Maxis grab us by the nuts.

I tot last time Maxis also got this "coming soon" and pre-booked thing? It's only like what, few weeks only since Digi announce right. So chill la.

And btw, Apple didn't make maxis customers to wait 30 - 45 days coz business package promoted to companies can get the phone right away (that's when they did a promo at our company).

i thought this should be an digi announcing iphone thread..why it turns up to be digi vs maxis thread....well all the telco have the good and bad..no point making a judgment which is good or bad...you just increasing unwanted post...As red-queen and frozzbyte say...its good to see digi coming up because there will much more competition and each telco will improve their service for a better prospect...whether when it launches it doesn't matter..i think currently they good response for the public due to even pre order is close...so chill guys...we will see it later after the launch...

If DiGi launches the package without sufficient preparation, I'll rather feel insulted. A little wait is nothing.

right, no point comparing both telcos...at least we have another option to get our iphones...thats what it matters rite?

I wont be too certain about Maxis providing better service than Digi. I remember that I applied for Maxis BB some time back and I cancelled it less than 3 months of using because it was horribly bad. I never has this problem with Digi. And try comparing their call packages, Maxis is damn expensive. Lazy to compare their call packages, then compare their internet packages. At least Digi offers more "affordable" packages. I am a Digi user but I am not a fanboy. Try comparing their blackberry packages with Maxis. The facts and figures speak for themselves, so I don't need to be a fanboy. I have used Maxis, Digi, Mobikom, etc...over the years.

Anyway, looking at the current offerings from Digi, I believe that Digi is capable of coming up with very affordable iphone packages. Let's hope that it true.

Alot of things happened behind the scenes. To end user it's all about when ts gong to launch but to the back end there's alot of preparations and I'm pretty sure there are thousands of sleepless night. I know, been there before for one iPhone launch somewhere outside before.
To me there must be good reason for DiGi to put abit of time before the launch. Sometimes it's just a simple plain Murphy's Law so that also might cause the delay as well.
Whatever it is I'm very satisfied with DiGi in coming up with this as well. Hopefully both can be very competitive to benefit all of us. So far I'm not Maxis fanboy although I must admit I raked up alot every month but I do have DiGi as well. So far to me to have near good (not neat perfect) scenario you just need to have all 3

That is true, man. I used to get getting a lot of downtime with my maxis, like need to redial a number just to get through.
In the end changed to Digi and never had that problem.
But Digi's signal inside walls certainly needs upgrading... serious upgrading. lol.

Also, Digi's 3G so far tends to be much more stable than Maxis 3G.

i thought of getting my own 3gs within this week and thats already a torture..now im running into this piece of news from digi..erghhh...

I was thinking, digi waiting of Pre-order IPAD in their launching, wait of 4th April 2010!
