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.

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.

FYI, maxis has an unfair advantage over Digi because they are GLC. The have more towers than Digi that is why in some areas, maxis has "more bar" than Digi.

Coming to 3G, it came out in the Star business section that day. Digi has only about 4ghz of the 3G spectrum whereas companies like Celcom and Maxis have about 30+GHz. You call that a fair competition? (not sure is Ghz or Mhz, sorry but something like that). Remember, the 3G bandwidth Digi has is bought from Time.

So, if there is a level playing ground, i'm sure Digi will bungkus maxis.

yea i agree. I'm not arguing just stating some facts to ppl you straight shoot "digi sucks" just because of "a few bars" difference.

You lucky la bro. Enjoy your new iphone

Yes, the corporate world is not fair nor is it honest. Ok, maybe maxis is not "officially" a GLC but you know how things work here in Bolehland. Correct me if I'm wrong but why is it that Digi was not offered the 3G license initially and now they have to buy 3G from Time?

I think this are for those that wanna get the phone but cannot buy it outright so have to bundle with 6 months of contract.

If you have the cash, why not? All the better. However, you will still need to go for the first option (6 months plan) as you cannot buy the iphone without a contract.
