If this March 17th/18th announcement by Apple confirms the existence of a new iPhone this coming July, a lot of people, namely the ones already booking the Maxis iPhone are going to be royally pissed.

Unless Maxis does a one-to-one exchange from the current-gen iPhone to the next-gen iPhone when it arrives. Personally, I dont put too much stock on that happening.

string, avbody knows tat would be mee siam impossible la
but booking no obligation one

hoss wanna give me one? i dun mind

agreed 100%!!! surely maxis gone bananas if they did that thou....

something poped up my mind...since iphone will be here in bolehland, can we send our iphone from oversea for warranty claim?

I recalled they accept warranty claim for oversea Ipod products rite? correct me if i was wrong...thanks!

Despite the general notion that Apple covers international warranty on all its other products, iPhone warranties are covered based on where it is purchased. Hence the region product code at the back of the iPhone signifying where it came from.

What I initially thought may be possible was repair services. With the introduction of a locally available iPhone, the aftersale support, a.k.a repairs should come hand-in-hand as well. But if you read my post about the internal Maxis email I've posted, at the moment, all repairs for Maxis iPhones are redirected to Singapore. Maxis subscribers who have their iPhones repaired will receive a substitute iPhone until their iPhone repairs are complete.

Another dead end for local maintainance work there. Oh well, we always have Crxr, our iPhone hardware Sifu!

From Maxis's terms and conditions:

"Maxis' support to iPhone 3G is strictly bound by Apple's warranty and repair policy. Maxis will only support devices purchased from Maxis and/or its authorized channels only."

So yeah, Maxis will not support overseas Iphones. No idea about Apple though I doubt it.

thanks bro string for the abv clarification

hmm...perhaps, i shud oso consider taking a white iphone from maxis too

i'm book my iphone too...
i-value plan for 24 months
Rm 250 commitment...
if i plan to change my plan...
still able to do that?
i have recieved the email n sms...
what should i do in order to change plan?

woot! iphone officially in Malaysia! cool bananas! sorry, im a late bloomer, but no harm in being excited! Got plan with free 8GB summore, not bad!

wish they do outright for prepay as well, but looking at the price, i dun want to imagine what they have to charge for outright units.

Sigh....you are still in that "Nokia/Sony Ericsson" mentality. Yes those phone models frm those brands come up with replacements at a much more frequent rate than iPhones, the same pattern does not apply to the iPhone. Apple does the refresh once every year. If you are interested in product cycles of Apple's products, Macrumors have the details. But for now, flush those "Nokia/SE product refresh" mentality down the toilet, they are not relevant here. It's the very reason why aftermarket prices of used phones from these brands does not hold their value. The iPhone? If I want to, I can still sell my officially unlocked iPhone3G at prices RM2,000 and beyond, the market holds that much interest AND value for it.

One-to-one exchanges may not be possible, but during the iPhone EDGE-to-iPhone 3G transition, AT&T has developed a program for its subscribers that for customers who had bought their iPhone EDGE up to 3 months(IIANM, correct me if I'm wrong) before the iPhone 3G launches, they get massive rebates, and incentives to turn in their EDGE iPhones in exchange for an iPhone 3G.

WTF! Where you been la bro! I've been cordoned off Auckland flights these days, plus the economic climates are'nt really allowing flight frequency there, but good to see you here, bro!

Last I enquired, the stock situation there has calmed. My colleagues even can buy iPhones off the Vodafone store next to our hotel on Queen St.

Change plan can do on the spot at KLCC when you collect your phone. I called Maxis to confirm this.

hahaha, im good bro. was on harian metro online (please dont judge me) and then i saw the iphone maxis announcement so i thought i come here and celebrate with u guys

so no more flying to auckland? bummer man, but yeah, even flight tickets now very cheap. cant wait for my next trip home

stock is looking good, but of course my store is still doing the dirty dirty, charging pple surcharge and stuff, ugh! sometimes i do waive it, especially if malaysians lah beli but i do ask them to get the screen protector as well, 15 bucks!

my manager told me yesterday that the voda next to citylife got massive iphones stock drop this week. they got like 70 units so thats pretty good. and they dun really care pple want to buy outright so thats cool as well.

Good to hear you're doing great there. Celebrate, yes....but the pricetag isnt in the celebratory zone yet.

Your last customer, that "Champagne" person, yup...I flew with her before. Good to hear she's spreading the wealth/news about your store.

As for the upcoming launch, anybody interested to go to the launch? I'm not in the booking for anything, but I just wanna see how they manage this launch. I'm definitely going on the 20th.

string, what time is it? I am interested too.

If I book now, can I get the iphone after the launch?

Does this has something to do with why the booking period for iPhone 3G by Maxis ends on 17th March (11.59pm)?

By referring to the Terms and Conditions on the iPhone 3G Maxis webpage, under term number 7, it stated
"Each customer with a Confirmation ID must collect their iPhone 3G at the selected location during booking. Their iPhone 3G is available for collection only at the location of their choice during booking and will be held at respective location till 26th March 2009."

Hope this might help.

Im currently a Celcom user, anyone know what are the process should i go through to apply for iphone?

1) Port-in Maxis <=== i believe you need to select a plan (voice 50,80,150 etc), but how it works? because im actually looking for ivalue 100 with iphone
2) book iphone online via Maxis
3) collect at KLCC

i call maxis helpdesk,, they tell me " I DUNO" rclxub.gif Should i go straight to the shop and port-in now? or ?
