Well, i am deciding whether to get aifontriji now or wait forever for maxis or digi to bring in. I am tired of waiting and really giving it a thought to purchase 1 asap. Price is around RM2400 for singtel sets now.
*
i was waiting from the 1st gen and till end of 2008, i'm tired of waiting. there's never any reliable sources that can claim that any of our telco is going to bring in iPhone to M'sia. all were just pure rumours. i finally took the plunge a week ago & honestly i'm happy with it. smile.gif

who cares if Maxis/Digi decides to bring it in, you will still be stuckwith an amount of upfront payment for the phone & high monthly usage fees on 2 years contract (based on what Maxis is doing now on their phone deals). plus, iPhone's price is kinda steady and hardly drops. might as well get it now & enjoy it before Apple launch another new gen of iPhone. the waiting game will never end.

My Maxis contact informed they sealed the deal officially and preparing for a press conference for announcement. Just sharing the info, don't ask for me how true this can be  tongue.gif

Either launching or not, I am already a happy iPhone 3G user  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

with iPhone launched in Thailand and Indonesia, i believe it will be in Malaysia anytime soon. no doubt about that. smile.gif

got to wait till the official launch when all the pricing and plans will be announced. it might be cheaper than Singtel sets. who knows.

I doubt it, and for sure you have to signup with Maxis plan.

one thing for sure is there must be contract involved. with the MNP going on & Maxis will definitely use this opportunity to gain back its customers. cheaper than Singtel sets i mean as in getting the unit itself. if u subscribe to Maxis unlimited data plan & you fully utilise it & the phone is RM1.5k, it still consider cheaper right? provided the RM160 plan with 2 years contract is true. just a guess. that's why i used the word 'might'. and IMO, there will be different plans to accomodate different categories of customers. just like how Singtel and True Move in Thailand priced their iPhone with plans. possibility of outright units from Maxis might be present too. but, yet again, all of these are just speculations until Maxis decided to announce it.

Not to say i dont wanna trust you, but please remember what happened in last year July.

A lot of rumours telling maxis bringing iphone to malaysia, and many people was talking about it. but at the end, nothing happened...

last year's rumours weren't supported by insider info unlike the coming up official launch which is confirmed by reliable sources on the telco side.

i dun think so lor, take example when X1 is launch in Msia, SE have advertise in major newspaper with countdown. Iphone is such a big thing. Think Maxis will advertise damn big in all billboard to countdown to it.

today will only be a soft-launch so i guess ads will be up after today/before the official launch on 20th.

guys, how about a new thread for this topic? since this is already 50+ pages and it's hard to evaluate the plans etc.
