Hmm...from the market scenario, I doubt Maxis is going to launch iPhone 3G so soon, if they were really going to. If not, they would have very aggressive marketing campaign to promote the plan already, since iphone 3G fever is so hot right now. They could not be so silly to wait until the heat cool down then only promoting the plan right?

I mean, i dare not comment as well that definitely iPhone 3G will not be launch in Malaysia/Maxis...but at least, really don't think will be so soon, although how i wish the news from Malaysia Insider is true...I would switch to Maxis without any second thought!

Yeah...i think I am still going to sit and wait, until it is officially announce by Maxis spokesman, though I do hope it is not just speculation.

Another thing is...knowing Maxis, the price of below RM1000 is also another "speculation" that needs to be proven.

I don't mind selling mine for 24 months as well...

If this is true...i think Maxis will really win over the battle among all the telcos...

Shhh...make sure which ever Telco that will bring iphone 3G in do not hear this...or else, who knows, they feedback to management, and set the price higher since the urge and purchasing power for Apple products is so much higher compared to other phones. Got higher profit margin who doesn't want right?

Added on July 15, 2008, 10:28 pmAnother fact that would make the difference in your total monthly bill would be the numbers of second per block that the telco used to calculate your total charge per call.

I was once a Maxis user, that time, Maxis charge on per 30s call, which means once you call or if your call was connected to voice mail, you will be charged the fee of 30s (if 1min is 30sen, 30s would be 15s).

I switched to Digi for 2 year already, initially their plan was 10sec or 15 sec block, couldn't remember clearly, now it is 20sec block. So 1 min is divided into 3 blocks. If 1 min is 13 sen (Digi has FLAT rate calling nationwide and all operator for postpaid plan), so if u just talk for 20sec or less, or connected to voice mail, you will be charged only around 4 sen. So on the surface value, it seems that all telcos are having almost the same rate, but in fact, when it comes to month end total bill, Digi proven to be cheaper.

When I was using Maxis, my monthly bill is around RM180-RM200. Now with Digi, my highest monthly bill is only RM130-RM140, my usage pattern is almost the same though... So Digi Advertisement is true...Lower Bill Guaranteed!

Have you called? Do you managed to get through?

Data plan is not a compulsory thing in our malaysia telcos plan...i think main thing will still be the call plan, maybe the telco would want their subscribers to commit to a higher amount of usage per month, and a certain numbers of lines subscribed in order to get just ONE iphone at special price.

Again...this is "speculation"..."speculation" and "speculation"...meant for discussion in forums only k...

So no worries...he can't haunt you for long...

No matter what, once after unlock, the warranty still void already.　Some more Malaysia is not one of the official iphone release country, so lagi no official warranty...

The main problem is, there is no Iphone authorized reseller or service center there. Unless you want to send back to overseas for warranty.

But some rumors also originated from people's guess...

Yeah...i wouldn't be surprise if there were to be people starting a new thread asking about iphone 3G Vs iphone 4G

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!
