@AlexGTX,
Scratch proof doesn't mean it can't be scratched tongue.gif

Just wondering, need all da sifus opinion,

Will Maxis drop the price of 3gs since iphone 4 is out?
*
not so soon, they are still clearing off old stocks. No point buying old hardware since they'd announce iOS5 next year, maybe then some features might not be compatible.

@nimrod323,
Am not sure how the new PowerSupport casing's gonna work but I didn't like the old one; it tend to scratch the "metal" portion - that's what happened with my 1st i3GS; some minor scratches.  I ended up using a leather slip-on case.  Thankfully I used that cause hehe it's not gonna fit the iPhone 4 smile.gif
*
yeah i know what u mean, no hard case for me either, im just getting their RM69 Screen protectors,static peels for the front and back, hmm question is anti glare or glossy, especially with the new display sigh decisions, but i think i'll get bumpers hehe somehow it reminds me of the BB casing LOL

It's definitely obvious - well, at least it was very obvious on my i3G Black.  And as mentioned, let's stop discussing casing + screen protectors, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
*
noted, okay anyways, whatever happened to the Verizon Iphone 4? there is no news of this at WWDC though the employees of Verizon did indicate something about launch in september, also i heard Celcom Axiata might be agreeing to sign a partnership with Apple, looking at the current trends it would be early next year for their offering. I think their 3.5G coverage better in places like Sabah and Sarawak especially biggrin.gif

Hmm.. Celcom's signing a deal for the iPhone too?! Oooh that would just open up more options but early 2011?! Er. might as well wait a while more for the refresh iPhone 5 tongue.gif

Yes if you're in Sabah/Sarawak go with Celcom but otherwise if you're in Peninsula, Maxis is okay lah.  I'm stuck in KL so no problem with whichever telco tongue.gif

Btw where's the Celcom info from?

read it up sometime in march IIRC, heres a link tho http://www.liewcf.com/celcom-iphone-malaysia-4924/. Well i however have some issues when i go back to my dad's hometown in Perak Tengah area, lol most to most its GPRS haha, although pretty much any major town along the PLUS highway has at least edge to 3.5G speed under maxis.

QUOTE(c010 @ Jun 8 2010, 05:44 PM)
Celcom will not jump into the iPhone pool simply because there are huge commitment to fulfill if they would take up the deal. further more, Apple's deal to Telcos is always favour to themselves. look at digi and maxis, both suffering from throwing money to advertise, packaging (plan) and worse still, slashing price now especially like Digi knowing that iPhone 4 is about to launch, yet they took the deal. maybe most of u guys do know that digi is trying to clear their stock asap by offering their staff to purchase at below cost price and also asking their staff to sell iphone plan to customer in order to get 1 free iphone for themselves.

Based on the article from the URL, Celcom's CEO never said anything about getting the deal signed. hence i dont think Celcom will jump into the pool any soon or perhaps never.
*
Maybe you might not know this, many manufacturers have the price protection policy, that is any leftover stock would be retuned back so that the TELCO's dont lose out, any Telco wont just sign up for apple knowing that they would lose out, think of it in this way app developers get a 70% cut out of app sales, whatever apple makes goes to maintenance of servers and service.

Was it stated in the Maxis EULA or iOS 4 GM EULA? Because i do not remember reading anything about voiding the warranty? And if some physical damage which is covered under the warranty happens, after restoration to 3.1.3, how would maxis staff be aware of the upgrade?
*
im nt pointing this to DEVs lah abang, i meant the average users who dont know how to restore back firmware and stuff, its a maxis policy i think, heard of this case before from a staff.

Iphone 4 definitely i like it. It much way more better than 3GS. Plan to get it as well

Anyway, upgrading the OS will void warranty? unless is physical damage and Jailbreak, i don't think warranty can be void by upgrading OS provided Apple.

dude, we have said this in this subforum so many times already, the iphone will only get cheaper according to how much commitment you sign up with Telco M or D per month and also the number of years contract, otherwise dream on. Its all based on your monthly commitment, the higher the cheaper the cost or free to own iphone.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jun 8 2010, 07:13 PM)
To add further to the caveat emptor tongue.gif, you also need iTunes 9.2 which is not available anywhere but in the dev section. And iTunes 9.2 is only available on Mac OS X at the time of writing of this post. One dev posted on Macrumors caught off guard on this fact after upgrading his iPhone to the GM release on his MAc, and tries to sync on his Windows computer where all his media content reside. iTunes 9.1.x will only spew incompatibility popups if you do so.
*
i bet you they'd still try this irregardless of how many times we warn them. Best bet if you are not a DEV dont update. Wait till itunes 9.2 or just wait till june 21st,

come together. lets try to get consumer power to get iphone 4 for cheaper
price.

if we can get a list big enough/quantity enough... we as consumers might have the power to get it at a cheaper price.

so lets start it.

you know what you are the biggest idiot ever, if its too expensive dont by, its not a necessity for you, you wont starve if you dont have it and lastly stop giving the rest of us(Malaysian consumers) a bad name by your actions. Its like saying Diamonds are too expensive lets pressure Poh Kong or Habib Jewels to lesser the price, Consumer Power!!! Yada yada Yada.
