Take this story with a pinch of salt.

I work in a Telco Solution provider company so naturally I meet the Telcos pretty regularly. Yesterday I had a meeting with some senior mangers from Maxis in regards to some deal we were working on. Then my phone rang, and I took it out of my pocket and answered the call. After answering the call, I put my phone on the desk. My phone is actually a iPhone from Singapore. Then the Maxis guys asked me where I got it from. I told him my story on the phone. Then they said, within the end of the month Maxis will be launching the phone. Then the manager ask me how much I am paying for the phone bill. I told him I am using the Value Plan 80 + RM99 for the unlimited data package. Then he said most probably you will be getting a free iPhone. I asked why? They told me that Maxis is planning to offer a package which will cost around RM160 a month which comes with unlimited data package. Then they asked me if I have a existing contract. I said no, then they said then most likely they will offer you the phone in exchange to a contract. I told them I will be more than happy to sign contract and get the phone free.

Anyway, from the way they were telling seems like its pretty soon because previously when we talked they always say they don't when iPhone will come and everybody is asking from them.

But I still don't see Malaysia in the iPhone map. Or any info in the Maxis portal. I know there is a rumor that March 23 will have an Apple Media event. It could be announced there. Anyway, above is my exact script. I didn't ask anything more or less. So don't ask me if asked anything else.
