Maxis = No incoming call. Doesn't matter Hotlink or Postpaid.

And I think 3G is a joke in Malaysia. It's sucks.

What's the point of having the latest when you don't make use of it? Show off?
I have many friends with 3G phone, but some of it don't even know how to setup their MMS, not to mention to make a full use of the phone. And how many person going to video call with you?

OK, you can say surf net. But how many urgent email/surfing you'll need to do and you can't wait for wifi hotspot? Maybe some ppl will need that kind of convenient, but definitely not eveyone.

That one i cant answer, I have to wait till i test it.

I do not know the technical details.
But this is what I've been told by some technical ppl:
a) Maxis have a different way to operate the SIM/ Network.
b) Iphone is not fully GSM compliant, therefor some network won't work/ work fully.

Please bare in mind that's just a plain dicussion. No proof on it.

abang, no, yet to get it. but have 3 frens using it. All tested with digi, celcom & maxis.
Everything is fine except for maxis. you can check mymug forum if you want the details.

stringfellow, can help me grab one? lol...
will do the unlocking if I have the phone, don't mind doing it together.

hmmm... if you have the moolah to burn, I would prefer the TurboSIM, as it is not that difficult to do as the Silvercard and it does not void your warranty or do any permenant hardware mod to the phone. And the best thing it should work even after the firmware update.

Until I test the iphonesimefree, TurboSIM should be the best bet at the moment.

Only the visual voice mail (exclusive AT&T feature) & call in for Maxis not working.
The rest is working just fine. This is the last time I'm going to repeat.

some further note to that.
there's no disk mode if you're thinking to use the iphone 4GB/8GB as your thumbdrive. there is an app to enable it, but it is still not there yet, you have to install on each computer you want to use the iphone as disk.

browsing on safari is fine, but it doesn't handle downloading of files. let's say your fren email you a link of a .mp4 and you would like to download and watch it later on your iphone. you can't. you can view but you can't save the file.

also, attachmeant in email can be viewed, but not save into other location as local file. Same as above.

you wont get call-in when you're using EDGE browsing unless you have the Apple Bluetooth headset.

battery is fine so far as i was told. it's not "short". just average. powering such huge screen need a lot of power. so charging every the other day seems ok for me.

for sure once you get it for the first few weeks, it's very hard to let it go. therefor you need more recharging... lol.

I always follow this moto when dealing with gadgets: Buy only if you need it, not you want it.
My 3 years old phone is now giving me problem, so i think the iphone is a good replacement

Hey iPhone is my 3rd phone

Are you sure? Maxis call in working?

yes indeed, there's no build-in file browser. and no bluetooth file sharing profile either. but it's just a matter of time. it's a race with hacker & Apple.

To all iPhone owner that's using Maxis line, I want to know if your SIM is older than 5 yr. Did you ever upgrade your SIM during the jump to 64bit card? I can't remember when but there's once that Maxis offered free upgrade for existing SIM to 64bit card that can do more & store more. I wonder if there's any luck with older SIM.

Tax are varied depends on state. it about 7% +-

hehehe.... more poison from me.

iPhone without contract from apple will not be in the price you see now.
Apple get a cut from ATT as ppl subscribe to the call plans. And ATT also have a deal of bearing some cost for the iPhone. That's why it's ATT exclusive. If not, why you think Apple want to play nice with ATT... lol.

Hard to believe?
Is just that ppl has been ignoring it until something went wrong like many things & matter around us... lol

Dun get me wrong ya. Not trying to accuse u / ur statement.
I'm just trying to portray something else. ah... nvm... since no one get it.

ok, back to the issue. I've been talking with a telco guy... He explain to me that "Maxis techinician don't know what they're doing". So, go figure what he trying to tell me. And lastly, there's also some tibits saying maxis not interested with iphone as they have contract with blackberry.

Time to consider switching telco... have a good weekend.

the international are most likely:
1. Language pack
2. Keyboard layout/input
3. Roaming features for ATT

but we can always hope

USD199? And who told you so?

And how you know they're earning enough? And how you know how much is their R&D cost? You work for them?
making a lot of assumption there huh?

Aren't your last statement supporting mine?
I wonder who that's need to check the fact here.

Haiya.... almost jump off the chair...

Was told that they will be taken care off by Celcom.

Me and some other guys are getting some contact to maxis ppl, techinician in precise. Hopefully we get a cleary story of what's going on with them. We might also start a petition.
