that's what I think.
I think that there are other better ways of saving money
Spending less on a lower capacity phone is not the way to go.
There are better ways to save like ie. not spending RM500+ on an iphone case (yes some of us do).
It really depends on the value of the item. and imho memory is worth paying for

Yes. it is true RM200 is a lot of money.
But the average person will want to stretch his dollar.
The average person will want to have an iphone that lasts.
Perhaps use an iphone for.. 1 ? 2 years? .. some still using 3GS.

Assume the person is using the iphone in the long run (cannot afford to upgrade every year cos money is important)
Considering an iphone that will be used for 2 years or more. In 2 years the memories, photographs, videos, apps, etc will accumulate.
16gb is too little

In the end. It is not worth the hassle of emptying the memory every now and then just to save a (assume la) Rm200.
See it this way. If you're gonna use it for 2 years (minimum)..

You're just coming up with only RM8.33 extra each month.

Wait...

Everyone is waiting quietly and impatiently now. I know everyone who's excited about this will wait anxiously. "Come on, come on!"

Ok it's 10pm already..

What will happen?..Can enlighten me please?

seems like MAXIS the one

Malaysian Wireless
We juz got two sources telling us that Celcom ain't gonna make it 2nite...but Maxis will make it!

AndrewTan007. Don't get me wrong, we agree on one thing that money is important and, perhaps we agree that we should not squander it unnecessarily... i think we can skimp on many items but capacity is never one of them.

My guide is .. spend on a good phone.
Do not spend on its overpriced accessories.

malaysian timing, doubt sharp 10pm will have anything, maybe later

Whata happen ..please tell me please..

Pre-order/RSVP page on Maxis website. But so far nothing. Midnight perhaps?

Ya! That was it.

Yeah, that's just your opinion, and it makes sense IF that person is going to be using it for the long term. That's what we call future-proofing. However, most people change phones about once a year. Personally, I buy a new phone every 3 months, there's just so many phones and it's so tempting. So, why spend so much when you're just going to buy a new phone in 12 months or less. This is especially true with Apple owners. When a new Apple product come along every year, we're just so tempted to go and buy it. That's what I mean. Besides, do you really need to keep over 1K songs on your phone? Think about it. In the end, as I said, it's all about the user's preference. If you think you need the space, then go for it. Or else, save the cash and take your girl for a nice dinner. That's much more worth it.

Well said.
