If you're complaining about the price of the plan, maintaining the 3G/GPRS data flow in Maxis server ain't cheap either, especially incoming data from the iPhone. So Maxis lowering their price plans? Unlikely.

If you have the money and love the iPhone, get it if you think it's the wise choice. But I wouldn't get it if it's true that it is GPRS and not 3G, you don't maximise the full potential of the iPhone 3G.

I rest my case. I told you my source was good. Maxis did announce today.

Personally, I don't think it's a high plan, instead it's an upfront plan. I was told that there is easy payment scheme offered. I don't know about you guys but I have been waiting for the iPhone 3G for a long time. Plus there is no real great phones out there today.

Anyway my source tells me that the bookings in Maxis has gone crazy. Maybe for fans like us we are more skeptical but to the rest of people, they are happy. Anyway this is a good way to take us all to the next level. I like this. And I'm a fan!

It's cool that finally we have iphone officially here in Malaysia...

I am also NOT a Maxis fan, had used before then changed to Digi...If Digi were to have contract with iphone, I will be the first to line up for it!

maxis is bringing iphone here. wat for buy from dealer that sell from low yat forum. maxis will give you warranty and not need to goto singapore for warranty

You and I both. Funny how the loudmouth doubters who loled and tongue-wagged their way around this thread seems to have melted away into the shadows, after their pessimistic cynicism prove them wrong.

Iphone will be available in malaysia brought to u by maxis in march 20 in KLCC.

I'm considering buying an iPhone. Seems like the main difference for me between buying from Maxis/buying an SG unlocked set is whether or not I want to sign up for the "free" 500mb data transfer per month plan, vs sticking to hotlink.

Does "regular" iPhone usage really incur that much data transfer? If yes, then it might make more sense to sign up for the plan, cos hotlink data charges are quite ... retardedly high.

if not satisfy with maxis iphone 3G plan just drop them a comment

Dear All,

After I gave feedback, Maxis called me. I told them of forummers complaint of their exorbitant prices and rates and they said that it is not official. I guess they are looking at feedback and revising. Everyone should go in and provide negative feedback, who knows Maxis may revise.

Well, there is no harm to have lower prices and rate

After I post here regarding the phone price is not correct,
I receive another confirmation that they detected the error and resend another confirmation SMS and Email.
Erm..I just wonder are they monitoring the thread at LYN here?
peace...

Don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask, but here goes.

Since iPhone is officially launched here, will those with iPhone 3G with firmware 2.2.1 be able to use their SIM cards again?

nope... the lock phones is lock to their respected country's telco company, even thou its official in malaysia it will still remain lock...
sorry
