Sorry man if that sounded harsh.

But it's the fact ... maybe maxis is catering the phone to a different group where money is not an object to them and getting the phone is everything if it means costing an arm and a leg.

For me it's still not worth it. They even dare to ask my wife to get another 2 years contract if she wants to get the phone. She's already on their 2 years contract, why don't just upgrade that to the package and ensure lots more customer on their iphone bandwagon. Asking people to pay for 2 phone lines and another  years of contract is just simple ridiculous.
