yes. correct. monthly commitment will be RM80 (Value 80) + RM99 (iData) and paying RM1990 for iPhone 3G 8GB.

Thanks!
If that's the case, it's better to take this plan instead of change to a new iValue plan then..
Correct me if I'm wrong..

By the way, do you guys think a 3GB data usage is sufficient.. for once-in-a-while facebooking and minimum browsing?

In my opinion, it should be more than enough.
Unless you always download music/apps through the appstore.

Whooa 3G is definitely more more than enough. Provided you're not tethering. Most of the apps on iPhone like Facebook, etc are very efficient in data usage. I can FB the entire day and still only use a few MBs. With 3GB probably you can do VOIP calls to other iPhone users and a lot of youtube. Youtube over iPhone is efficient too cause it only download the lower bitrate of video feeds (lower quality).

I think your plan is good enough. But in my opinion RM99 can buy you a full fledged personal mobile internet.

so here is the news of apple cutting its iphone price :

I am wondering too whether to iPhone will drop in prices here in M'sia. Think Maxis is kinda well prices, but hopefully they go down a knotch in the next two/three months.

Besides, there's no official statement of Maxis regarding the 3GS?

You're being greedy right here, actually both are performing the same OS 3.0 features.

no la actually is abit angry bout the price only haha....but maxis haven decrease its price also la... decrease half leh the price

$99 in states is with contract and you're not able to swap the sim. For Maxis if they sell it at RM 1,000 its not worth it. Thats why you don't see any cheap phones because our law prohibits a teleco to lock a phone , otherwise we'll be enjoying cheap phones

Maxis would certainly cut prices to get more people to upgrade or buy the low-end phone

Anyway those who bought iPhone 3G from Maxis , its still worth it. Its not a major upgrade (like from 2G to 3G , its just some minor touches here and there)

if no reduce in price the most maxis can do is bring in the [S] model with faster processing.

Did Maxis took out their iValue 80 plan? I remember seeing a RM80 plan per month but now I check it seems it's gone. RM100 plan seems too much for me as my monthly expenses only about RM50

i dun think maxis will so fast bring in the 3G S here, they baru launched the iPhone 3G woot.

wait at least early next year is what I guess

Maybe in July.

It's already 3G when Maxis launched it, so it shouldn't be 2G trade-in.

er.. Please dont forget iPhone 3G is consider new phone in Msia, it just officially launched in march '09

somemore maxis already has the trade-in advertisement way before WWDC 2009, you think they will ask you to trade-in your old iPhone 3G with the maxis newly launched iphone 3G? it doesn't make sense, isnt it?

i wan the 3gs ....but tie with 2 years contract....
can trade in my iphone 3g?

Its actually meant for those old iPhones (be it 2G or 3G). With that trade-in you get the current iPhone 3G. No mention of 3G[S]. Also its up to RM1200 (some said its 1050). But on most occasion, the trade-in value is well below those rates. Probably the only time you get that RM1200 trade-in is when you walk in and get an iPhone 3G only to turn back and trade-it-in for another iPhone 3G. I know it sounds stupid but thats the best I can think off.

Here are the break down on the trade in price:

*Need to signup a contract.

2G 8GB to 3G 8/16GB is only: RM 390
2G 16GB to 3G 16GB is only: RM 430

Example: A 2 year iValue plan at RM 1910, with the trade in price of your phone for only RM 390, your full payment will be RM 1580.

3G 8GB to 3G 8/16GB is only: RM 900
3G 16GB to 3G 16GB is only: RM 1200

Example: A 2 year iValue plan which is RM 1910, with the trade in price of your phone for only RM 900, your full payment will be RM 1010.
