i already bought iPhones months ago and i still wait for malaysian iPhone.
i still can wait for months.

When the time Malaysia launch iPhone, time for Apple launching 3rd gen of iPhone.

@feizaiII, not even apple 1st gen iphone came to malaysia officially until now.....
3rd gen baru nak masuk the first gen pon im not sure of myself....
so sad here in malaysia....

i think will.. but dunno when. just pray hard...
cause Maps in iPhone can use Routing in Malaysia now..

no way ... jose ... !!! i phone 3G in malaysia ... you must be "DREAMING"

with all the local telco in the market ... whom are only
aiming to squeeze $$$$ from the user ....

i really doubt that .. this item will be in malaysia .. !!

reason as follow ..

1) how good is OUR line signal for 3G data ... ( not talking of so many blind spot in town or outside town )

2) with this POOR signal ,,, you think the engineer of APPLE is going to give a "GREEN LIGHT" for approval
( whose reputation in more important .. apple , or maxis ( all our telco )

3) consumer behaviour...
How many of us would like to sign up for the unlimitted data usage with our telco .
( afterall this is the ONLY best Option to use this Iphone ..)

4) even our 3G video call is total failure ... that is to show that our consumer are NOT ready yet ..

5) and as for the account on itunes .. well .. so far it is only to attracted more on people using the i touch

this is my opinion

I doubt it will reach Msia during Q1 or Q2 2009

i doubt it will even be arriving here....import and water set got la...
all also want money only, that it should be lo

FYI iPhone 3G is launched in areas where 3G is not available/ or worst than Malaysia as well....

as for squeeze $$$$, it is a for profit business after all. You should look at other part of the world and see how it is even more expensive for mobile user, as compared to Malaysia. 3G video call had never been widely used all around the world, and that is one of the reason why iPhone 3G didn't include the Video call feature.

the answers,
1) in india, there's still no 3G connectivity. the bidding for 3G airwave will only commence next year. but they already got iPhone 3G.
2) even at&t in US got prob with 3G coverage. even got downtime.
3) no comment on that, but not a big issue.
4) no need to think about video call as iPhone 3G doesn't provide video call afterall.
5) it's a potential foundation for iPhone activation procedure. btw no comment on that.

still waiting for official release of iPhone in Malaysia although already purchased iPhones. currently discouraging friends and families from getting an iPhone as in the end i'll become their technical support. that's why i wait for the official release in Malaysia.

agreed! and the price would hopefully will be controled...

Good answer from u LaskarCinta.. I also waiting for iphone launch here. No matter when.. I think our local telco provider not that really bad compare to other country telco. I hope Q2 next year, iphone will be launch here. Just my opinion..

yea... actually i also thinking of waiting our local telco to launch..... but when look back to their previous so call "offer"..... means if sign contract can get the thing cheaper.... actually it does not cheaper but sometime more expensive than you buy a new one.... they actually just separate the actual price to their monthly payment like installment only. if then ..... why don't find a store which can provide 0 percent interest installment better? no need to control by the contract.

im dont really about iphone 3g officially launch in malaysia tht much... but im really looking forward for apple to open the apple store here in malaysia 1st. THEN i'll be hoping for something more....

I'm one of them but not until RM8k (iPhone wth Celcom 3G Broadband), Last month my bill cost me RM1179.45

p/s: Celcom CS loveeee me

Woot.. What do u use? Talk plan + data unlimited?

i went to PG maxis office on last friday at northam tower. had a fcuking shock of my life when the dude that work there told me that if im on non limited plan i get charged like Rm100 for 1mb of usage on the data. i wuz like wtf dude, u fcuking serious? u better double and triple check for me, it ain't fcung RM100 for 1mb.

true enuff, it wuzn't Rm100 but Rm10 for those on use-to-pay wutever crap.

neway, the bottomline is the provider themself r an ******* that they dun even damn understand bout 3g or the package that they r offering.

i already accidentally chcuked bout 10mb of usage on my normal line for my iphone. so that's like 100 bucks burn....

RM99 for unlimited then!

still RM99 is consider expensive for world standard but hey...we r in malaysia...weher every politiician associated company squeeze the living hell out of us.

Apple store Malaysia just opened. Is it a sign that we will have iphone in malaysia soon? Something to think about...

maybe only service centre or only for ipod or mac? haha

yup, I tot it sumthing like tht. But it's a start. As far as iphone concern, I still don't think tht it's going to be here soon. Mark my word dudes, it ain't coming... Yet!

U guys ah... speculating this and that. Don't give people false hope la.

READ: iPhone won't be officially available till our local multimedia/telco commissioner (MCMC) approves it!
