"They're sleeping with their market domination"
That's what my buddy portray Maxis. Which I think very true.

Just some small update for everyone regarding the call-in problem. My gang sort of listed down some possible reason:
1) iPhone was built so it works seamlessly switchhing from WiFI to EDGE when WiFi is unavailable (remember, you should be on AT&T data plan, lol). So, in such situation, meaning the iPhone will transmit EDGE communication every now and then. Causing the relay tower thinking that our number are actually busy/ unavailable. Therefore we need to test disabling the EDGE (turn off in more accurate, some other way to disable are just messing up the APN). Or wait for Maxis to patch their firmware so EDGE & Call can works parallel.

2) This is speculation, but tru my conversation with expereince telco technician, it's very likely Maxis f*ck-up their hardware/software inplementation.

In conclusion, if the fixes on Maxis end require manual alteration to the hardware/relay towers, it's most like they won't do it. If it is like the Kuwait telco cases, where by the patches can be uploaded via wireless to the towers/hardware, we can wait for few more weeks.

No, the one I'm looking for is not messing with APN. Messing the APN setup will only render it unable to connect, but the EDGE is still running/active. What we want is something to kill the EDGE totally. Something like power-off the EDGE chip.

At the moment, no 3rd party apps can do so. Only in FW 1.1.1 have this function.

Anyway, turning off the EDGE is just a theory. No guarantee it will have any effect on Maxis.

Guys, just a note to you all, all the iPhone shipping from Apple from yesterday onwards are all firmware 1.1.1, meaning they can't be unlock at the moment.

Eh bro, working for EDGE or working for Call in?
lol...

.... fall from my chair...

Yeah, what else...

updates for Maxis
The last call summary:
- Maxis spoken to Apple Malaysia asked for iPhone test unit(s). Apple Malaysia refuse to help. Their reason is it's not launch here.
- Maxis have no choice but to get ppl bring in hacked iPhones.
- Their iPhones are yet to arrive. (supposed to be these 2 days).
- They aware the problem.
- They received many complains.
- The technical department are waiting for the iPhone now.
- Also inform them on the issue happened in Kuwait, emailed the details to them.
- Most part of KL are using Siemen/Nokia hardware, but certain part of Subang Jaya are using Ericsson.
- The theory now is, if it is Siemen/Nokia hardware issue, then it might work with the Ericsson towers in Subang Jaya. Maybe someone can try around in Subang Jaya? If it is not working still. Then the problem might not be the Siemen/Nokia hardware.

lol, I'm not sure as well, as the fella never mention where exactly is the tower located.
Maybe you drive around your area n test if you ever get incoming calls.

Hmm... good sign.

that kills the idea of having a all in one device.
my iphone should replace my phone, ipod & wifi device.

We should start a new thread. and keep the useful info on post #1.

Yes, no data sharing over bluetooth. Reason? There's no file browser build into the OS.
Why? Security, once there's a file browser, many things can happen
It's like hacker dream come true.

yeah, we love them, but Apple not.
that's why a file browser from Apple is very unlikely to happen.
