My friend bought a Maxis set 3GS 32GB ( full set less than one month old ) for RM 2000

I always advise my junior friends to buy such stuff only if they can afford it - don't buy just to join the crowd. I know few chaps who buy using credit card but they "forgot" unless they pay it fully when bill come, they will end up in debts.

It is better to save money for rainy day - since you mention you have a saving plan, of course save the money for the house. Buy only if you feel you will die without it.

By the way Steve Jobs always highlight only positive issues. Regards the video conference and FaceTime - you can ONLY do it iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 ; other video enabled phones cannot connect with it. And for time being , he say 2010 can connect using WiFi only as 3G not supported. I guess maybe in 2011 with a software update and telco issue settled, one can have it connected thro 3G

There are always buyers ( where money is not an issue ) who want to be the early birds. Just like the iPADS initial pricing at this forum , every unit was sold off within a day or two even though price was 50% - 70 % more than it will be when officially available here

This is strange : I went to maxis last week; wanted to buy the micro sim for the iPAD but I need to subscribe to a minimum 6 months data plan: cheapest was RM 30 ( for voice calls ) + RM 50 ( for 500 MB/mth ), ie total RM80/month -; I didn't take it as I will not be using voice calls . So if the card cannot be used for voice call why is Maxis charging RM30 for it ?? The officer in charge told me this is Maxis policy must pay the RM30 for voice call whether I use it or not.

The important area is the centre portion with the 2 parallel lines. I have cut up 2 sim card to test - both Digi and Celcom. To fit the slot I have to cut off slightly the top and bottom parts of the electronic area - works well does not affect the detection of the card. Is very easy to cut just use sharp scissors . Get a piece of paper put inside the micro slot card and pressed down the edges to get the size. Cut the paper down to size following the pressed marks. Put the cut paper on top of the sim card and use a pen or pencil to mark the cut points

That is exactly what I did - cut my hotlink card to fit my iPAD ; works perfectly well. Thought of getting a new line but the lowest cost was RM30 ( voice ) + RM 58 ( 500 MB data ) - didn't take up as I will not be using the voice call feature

Don't think so - Maxis wants you to create a new account to generate new business. If you have a card already, just get a sharp scissors and cut it down to size yourself - I took only less than 5 minutes
