you are one one one funny bloke.

if the devil is elizabeth hurley, i dont mind though...

if you are working at a considerably intermediate position in maxis, your mobile phone bills are taken care of (provided you are on maxis la of course)

most probably another reseller; a locally appointed agent

must be because of this:

celcom internet-on-the-go is decent, i dare to say.

i use the xpax rm8 daily broadband once in a while when i need to use internet on the move.

speed et cetera is fine, except when it comes to loading a bulky site and gets idle perpetually.

OT a bit.

FAMILY GUY IS OUT!!!

not like they will do a random spot check.

china? no doubt for japan la of course.

it's long story on how the telecommunication business works in malaysia. just google on how much apple expects (to steal) out of the from network providers globally.


so for the time being, just grow up and don't be a biatch and moan all day long. when the time is correct, iphone will arrive at our shores.

Added on November 14, 2008, 12:43 amof course having said that, IF the malaysian network provider go get their hands on the iphone contract, they will definitely charge a premium for it (to satisfy both economic monopoly principles and also royalty to apple).


by then, knowing the public, will proceed to complain (and subsequently open redundant threads) about the extortionate malaysian iphone prices.

yup! you guys can wait all you want! as far as i'm concerned, i already had my monkey fun ages ago!

yes you are right SuperG (but to an extend). surely we know that locked iphones are cheaper. however experience from the previous generation will tell us that artificially unlocked units will still possess disadvantages as compared to officially unlocked units.


when i was using maxis on my artificially unlocked first gen iphone (software unlocked), the rate of call failures/dropped calls/unsent text messages were so high that i almost gave up on iphone permanently. but when i migrated over to an officially unlocked unit from SingTel, (which i'm very glad i did) i have never experienced such unfortunate incidents anymore. now that's what i call a truly pleasant experience with my iphone!


not to mention, with the upcoming fw 2.2 coming along, i will be glad as hell to be able to click the "update" tab for my 3G without any sorts of hesitation! no more keeping my fingers cross that someone will be able to overcome the so called cheap-skate 3G individuals disabilities.

well not for me definitely! maxis has been serving me well ever since!

Added on November 21, 2008, 11:25 amfrom my personal point of view, not upgrading to the latest fw is not the main concern, mine is actually those call failures/dropped calls/unsent text messages. i mean it's a phone afterall. imagine having the need to make an urgent phone call, and you are faced with all these travesties (i swear to God, that i feel like smashing my first generation iphone on the floor sometimes)

no offense, but i reckon that almost all the regulars in this forum already know that, even from the day 1 when it was launched in singapore.

in fact, you don't even need the hassle of getting someone to sign up a contract from you; private sellers can sell you at a much cheaper price minus the hassle (and the warranty coverage is still applicable)

my friend works for the IP trademark department and until someone in the malaysia, registers the "iPhone" mark for a local telecommunication company, it will not be here.


as i have mentioned this before, have fun waiting whilst i have already enjoyed all the monkey fun. wo hoo!

old news as well.

if they intend to bring in iphones into the country - before attempting to conduct a negotiation with apple, surely they have to try it out with the network first.

what's the point of negotiation if their own network cannot even support them?

what a derogatory insult and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. who are you to judge how much is his pay in order to own an iPhone and feel surprised at the same time? unbelievable.

well according to my mother, on christmas day itself; they will be up on the malaysian apple site and only accept credit cards as a method of payment.


"regulars always know me better"

hmmm... to ensure that we are on the same page. how do you define your DFU mode?


i once helped this dude with a new zealand unit, where his unit was perpetually in a loop (the white apple logo around the black background)


what i did was to initiate the usual Pwnagetool method; hold power and button for 10 seconds (using my watch) and then release bla bla bla.

i don't even need to anticipate this as a déjà vu, as the typical malaysian attitude will appear shortly after the so-called official launch (even if it is true to begin with).

this short scenario will ensue later...

1. oh finally! after the two agonising years wait, iphone has finally arrive at our shores. no longer i have to worry about the warranty issues (typical malaysian necessity)

2. WTH? i cannot believe that maxis is selling the iphones for so darn expensive. unbelievably blood sucking.... man, this is what i get for living in malaysia where cronyism/corruption/lack of corporate moral fibers (insert whatever is relevant) persists.

3. WTH again? i also have to sign up a contract to fuel this extortionate monthly contract fees?

4. argghhh... forget it. i'm just gonna buy my iphone from a neighbouring country for a much cheaper price. don't think that i need that warranty coverage afterall; just a plain waste of money as i'm pretty sure that apple products are God sent. furthermore since they charge us a premium, a malfunction is very unlikely.
