it's too late iphone landed our shore. I guess apple will launch iphone II by the time we pay out 12 month plan halfway.

it is a necessity for malaysians!

ROFLMAO! Literally!

I'd be SERIOUSLY be SUPER DUPER CAUTIOUS about buying these so-called "iPhone 3G" from Ah Kau Phone Shop or Ah Beng Phone Shop

Seriously man..
I mean..after watching that youtube of that fake iphone 3g in here somewhere?.. man! it looks so real (until you turn it on)..

and then there was this iphone 3g seller?.. no gps and no wifi.. it's like.."whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????"

if it's super cheap.. I'd be careful hahahah

yes..but i dunno wat u trying to say..what i know..its a known shop in Gurney Plaza..lol..but rather that I phone..i will better go for Omnia..hehe

I bought my iPhone 3G in August 2008 from some guy in Singapore Coffee Bean near an MRT station.

Not the safest way to deal but at least I have a copy of the Singtel receipt.

Touch wood no issues with the phone so far.

Hi, how would we become an iPhone3G Buff? Please provide any details you can if possible. As I understand a lot of this handled by event companies contracted by Maxis?

It's meant for internal maxis staff only.

Unless you use the the amount that they want to charge you for the Iphone monthly, I think its not really worth it. It basically cost you slightly more than the black mkts if u buy it outright. So might as well buy outright and not let maxis bind you for 2 years...

Also with the new iphone rumoured to be out soon, I think maxis only intends to cash out on the hype (if there is still any) of what that's left or unknowing users.

This would have been attractive if it can really catch the hype. But then now it is not so hot already, ppl will think twice and look for alternatives like they always have before the iphone was launched.

Seriously, this isn't all that significant as it doesn't change much of the position in Malaysia. If u really wanted an Iphone, you would have paid top dollars to get it by hook or by crook. As for me, i looked at cheaper alternatives that listens to what the customers want but compromise on the "apple" factor.....

I'm actually surprised they dont.. they are so greedy.. 30% from Telcos.. 30% from app developers.. might as well tapao the warranty also.

It sort of makes our lives (those who has it now) easier somemore!

Can get the package then resell the iPhone to others? The simcard is not tied to the phone right?

Agreed, actually I am quite relieved I got mine August last year.

ah, no wonder lah just now during lunch time i saw a group of what i assumed maxis staffs in klcc carrying a few iphone 3G boxes.

rupa-rupanya sudah officially release here.

woa, and the thread already gone 22 pages in 1 day! lots of familiar faces gathering here again eh.

Hmm. Wanna ask something. What does the contract means? Can I use the same number phone?

tied as in literally tied??
lol
anyway, how much are you willing to let go of the phone?do tell us if you have decided upon the price tag

noob question here.since the ifontreeG from maxis is supplied by SG (imported to be exact), would it be possible to still get the warranty from maxis even if you didnt buy from them in the first place?

the question sound dumb now that i read them

Huh , you mean that the iPhone 3G is imported from Singapore by Maxis and its not official as per from Apple ?

I don't think its possible. I don't think so apple would allow it. If its possible , then Celcom would have brought it first then (because of their close relationship with vodaphone)

Booking is only confirmed when the customer receives a Confirmation ID via
SMS and Email. Booking merely indicates an interest to purchase the iPhone 3Gand shall not be construed as a binding agreement for the sale/purchase of theiPhone 3G.


This means that we can FFK after we booked the phone without any penalty or etc?

If you have maxis number..yes u can use the same number..if you are from prepaid..u hv to change ur plan to postpaid..if the contract is for 2 years..u need to stay with maxis for two years..cannot change telco within the two years..

relationship doesnt make sense..
i think maxis is just imported the iphone

If you go to the Malaysian Apple Store site now, its closed with the "we'll be back soon" sign. Just wondering..
