Unsubstantiated insults will get you nowhere my young padawan. You have to learn to argue intelligently, backing up the points and assertions you make, otherwise you'll end up looking sillier in the eyes of fellow forumers. And it appears that I am not the only one questioning your motives in posting all these rave reviews about the service. But, I digress. Let me begin my retort.
Once again, for reasons unknown to me, you have chosen to be totally inaccurate in your statements. Out of the 4 wireless internet service providers (which 4 exactly are you referring to? I only count the three major ones having a threshold of minimum service coverage, ie. Maxis, Celcom, and to a limited extent, Izzi), you mean to tell the people in this forum that Maxis is not mobile? Even their home wireless broadband service is as mobile, if not more mobile than, Izzi's. Of course the same goes for their Internet2Go service. Are you deliberately leaving Maxis out of your arguments out of spite, because you've had a very negative experience with them before?

Secondly, I have found nothing in your reply to warrant a thought-out reply from me. You have attempted to cover up the deficiencies in your replies by making generalised statements without basis in fact.
What interest does Kyocera, a large Japanese company, has in the success of a miniscule Malaysian company apart from an arm's length relationship of selling its products, collecting the money due, and providing support? Do you mean to tell me that Kyocera has a stake in Mobif/Izzi, the provider of this service? I can't seem to find any publicly available information that this is the case, perhaps you can point us in the direction of one to back up your statement? This is akin to saying that BMW wants Auto Bavaria, one of its distributors in Malaysia, to succeed, and that it cannot and will not let it fail. This is pure hogwash. They couldn't care less who does the distributing of their product, as long as anyone is capable of selling their products, they'll work with that party.
And you seem to be implying that if a large company is supplying you with the product, your company cannot fail. History has shown that even when global, seemingly well run companies release their own products there is no guarantee of success - think about Betamax from Sony. Think about what Sony is trying to do with BluRay now. Think about Jaring's wireless service. Think about Time's foray with its Webbit product.
Can you quote me authoritative studies of the rule where "large company = guaranteed success?" in every instance of its product launch?
To paraphrase Alexander Pope, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. When people say they know a little, they think they know a lot and comment like an expert commentator, making all sorts of unsubstantiated statements and sometimes telling outright lies.
Lol.... i wasn't hiding anything nor implying anything... I was just speaking my mind out... afterall, this is a forum right? Thats why i said i know "I am not in the marketing line but i do understand a little of Marketing strategy." Sorry if i had mislead what i said...heheheheQUOTE(wr6969 @ Oct 28 2007, 12:50 PM)
I really don't understand what you are trying to say here. Got your panties in a twist is it? What I am saying is that when you distribute anything, you are selling that product or service, directly or indirectly. Why bring the venerable Oxford dictionary into your argument?

Try to take a longer term view of this situation. With Izzi, the product you buy cannot be used for anything else. You own it after a year. If you terminate, you'll have a hard time selling off the hardware to a very limited market. With 3G/HSDPA devices, you can sell it easier, try looking in lelong.com to see how many HSDPA devices are on sale. And if you already own a 3G/HSDPA phone, your hardware investment is nil.
Izzi's hardware is limited to 1mbps at the moment, perhaps 2mbps in the future. HSDPA devices are already capable today of going up to 1.8mbps. If you buy the right device, it will support up to 7.2mbps. Speed wise, all other things being equal, you'll get more bang for your buck with a 3G/HSDPA service. But of course this service is not for everyone, just like Izzi's is not universal panacea that some in this thread have made it out to be.
Sell off the datacard/modem/phone on lelong.com. Plenty of buyers if you're not an unreasonable person when it comes to price. It's not a throw away proposition when you buy a HSDPA datacard. If Celcom doesn't work, try Maxis. If that doesn't work, try U-Mobile. With Izzi's hardware, you're stuck with Izzi, full stop.
I agree with you on the selling part of the datacard/modem/phone.. But lets put it this way... why would there be so many ppl selling off those devices if they were good? as for the izzi hardware, i believe that it would just be the same if one wanted to sell it off in lelong or ebay. There would still be ppl buying. *just to make sure that you don't get me wrong.... i am just speaking my thoughts out only.QUOTE(wr6969 @ Oct 28 2007, 12:50 PM)
And I've always wondered why there is no money back guarantee after 6 months - perhaps Izzi will just kill your connection on the 6 month anniversary. After all, you can't cancel, so what are you going to do about it?
Come on, my friend, you can do better than typing motherhood statements to back up your claims and statements. Post something intelligent and which makes sense so fellow forumers can see that you are impartial when it comes to selling this service.
