From the looks of it, most of you will be deeply, sorely disappointed... while Digi has been fairly competitive in the local market, we've been seeing more like 3 steps forward and 4 steps backwards momentum... speaking from a guy who has been stuck with Celcom for the best 10 years or more.

Prepare to be .....underwhelmed.

And tying up the share movement with the iphone 4 "imminent" launch says nothing.... Digi shares have always been actively traded, so whats saying that next week trades is tied up to...the ocean's movement? Or a flock of evil seagulls?

I like that they actually revealed the units sold 2QFY10 at 15,000 ~ 14,000; that's pretty healthy and note that it is just the 2nd quarter, who's to guess that the number could be more on the 1st Q?

You just can't help but giggle on the comment on the "well-publicised antenna-design flaw issue early last month" -- thats kicking a fella when he's down -- that issue was a non-issue as it was more likely to reveal flaws on the AT&T network and the US cellular market in general. Maybe Digi is playing it safe, but from what I heard many friends and work mates are actively checking if they could get out of their contracts, so there is plenty of pent-up demand for the iPhone 4.

I would like to add that for Maxis's 2 year contract which includes a 2 year warranty on the idevice, you can replicate the same coverage by purchasing an iPhone AppleCare support, which extends another 1 year hardware support and replacement plan for the iPhone.

I've dead set on Digi's plan; anyone has experience for an event like the Quill Carnival if stocks will be sufficient enough for the crowd? I just don't want to be dissapointed queuing up for hours? and end up with nothing (just like I did few years back when I tried to buy an apartment in a good location and waited for 5 hours for my turn -- ended with nothing cos aunties and uncles before me took all the good stuff. Bastards. )

Thanks for the head-up, dvlzplayground -- Apple would serve the MY market best if they sort this out.
