what i think is, its better to buy in malaysia since u got the
1. the most important... the local warranty
2. the free 500mb (if u register to prepaid)
3. hassle free

and the price is really darn cheap..... i mean u cant go wrong with that....

yup, agree with g3n0c|d3.. especially the price for the 16GB one.. it's not a bad price.. was considering between Aussie sets or Maxis. but if the price is almost the same, getting the maxis one will be better and hassle free... plus u get local warranty too...

just get iphone 3gs from maxis. much better. rosak straight can go claim..
reasonable price compared to those ppl bringing back from aus, usa, singapore....*no offence to those lyn iphone 3gs sellers*

iphone from maxis the 3g and 3gs both are unlocked phone?
the operator told me it is unlock, but if i plug in other operator sim , will void warranty.

As stated on the first few post:

*Does a Singtel, NZ, Maxis Malaysia or an official unlock 3G iPhones work with our local telco Maxis, Celcom, DiGi and UMobile? Yes, just insert your current simcard.

Official unlock iPhone 3GS work with our local telco Maxis, Celcom, DiGi and UMobile? Yes, just insert your current simcard.

No sim card can void warranty. It's just a simcard only.

@dopp,
Jailbreaking the phone will void the warranty but if U restore the phone back to factory settings, no one's going to know U jailbroken the phone in the past

Probably they're trying to discourage you from experimenting.

You'll void your warranty if your jailbreak, definitely. However if an issue arises (unlikely) you can always restore to a pre-jailbroken OS and bring back to Maxis. That's the beauty of an official unlocked set.

@tink actually the maxis fella MAY know if they use their brains. They'll probably wonder how come the usage data is so short for a x month old phone?

IF they use their brains LOL

@Lord_Ashe,
Er..I don't think U can check from just looking at the data usage; and even that can be deleted or reset back to 0 *smiles*

@dopp,
I guess Maxis also prefers U to use the i3G/i3GS with their network than their competitors

hehe thanks for the advise.. i will proceed buying the phone and use digi.
Smarter choice


Crap...reservation down.

Hey sorry im a newbie to Iphone..i would like to ask if my iphone is an officially unlocked unit do i still hv to jailbreak it?

@ansonliew,
No U don't need to JB the phone in order to use it. There is a difference between Jailbreaking & Unlocking.

For information on Jailbreaking & Unlocking, please refer to http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/984406

so whats the cheapest way to get a iphone 3GS ??

i'm will be going to singapore and taiwan in next 2 weeks. .. and UK in sept (if i can wait till then)

cheaper to get there ? tax free ??

Hello... i was planning to get an iphone from maxis. Should i get 3G 8G or get the 3Gs 16g?? Sifu sifu please suggest me

appreciate !!

@ingjoo,
Information on SingTel i3GS sets are available at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1087010

We don't have much information about Taiwan & UK though so U will need to gather those information on ur own.

@varickgoh,
If U can afford it, go for the i3GS. U'll definitely NOT regret it.

3G and 3Gs their price are just different rm500,izit worth to pay extra 500 to buy a 3Gs instead of 3G?

@varickgoh:
for the looks, no. but for the performance and specs-bump, yes. 500 bucks more for a faster processor, double the RAM, higher MP camera with AF, voice control etc. that's definitely a good deal.

Thanks tinkerbel and teikwing....Appreciate all the information.
I will go check out Maxis booth on Saturday,wish they'll give some special promotion on that day

@varickgoh:
you're most welcomed. hope to see u in the club soon.

how about foreign simcard? for example, i buy 3gs (prepaid plan) from maxis and then i use it in germany with simcard from german telco. is it working?

this unlocked version from maxis is totally unlocked for any kind of simcard or just local simcard?

thanks

any.
