BTW I dont really understand the plan..

http://www.maxis.com.my/iphone/rateplan1.asp

let's say if i got for ivalue1

have to pay rm1900+200(advance payment)+(100x12month) ???

Can I go buy directly or need to book? If I book today, how long does it take to get the Iphone?

Just found out from a friend who was invited to the launch. Apparently, Maxis is committed to 250,000 units for a year, so they need to sell at least 20,000 Iphones a month. Hope this is true and we shall be seeing more aggressive promotion soon.

found out from apple website
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 , our Maxis Part number is exactly same with Singapore set which are:
MB489ZA/A
MB496ZA/A
MB500ZA/A

I'm surprised nobody brought this up.

Inserting a Maxis sim card, according to observation made by Harmeet, resulted in the inability to edit or access the wireless network setting and/or APN setting. It just disappears. Inserting other simcard made this window reappear back again, and being able to edit them back again. I guess Maxis went automatic with the 3G setting for their phones.

As long as they dont totally shut out other telco settings, it should be fine. Otherwise, you'd have to follow how the NZer did it when their got their Voda-based iPhones.

MMm .... I think the APN setting can be enable back by tweaking the carrier bundles? It's been a long time since i godek2 those settings but there are lots of option you can specify in the carrier bundles.

I called Maxis today to enquire about the Penalty fee for iValue plans.

They told me it's :

monthly commitment * remaining months * advance penalty
And I was told that I could only know about the advance penalty only after i suscribe to iValue plans 
Can anyone confirm with me the exact Penalty charges? For iValue Plans and also Value Plus Plans..
Thanks a lot 

iPhone 3G – Value Plus Plans (6 months contract)
Only RM100 penalty will be imposed for this plan in the event a customer
decides to terminate the 6 months commitment before its expiry.

Wow.. that's very very expensive.

I thought iPhone 3G only cost around RM 2,000.

Do anyone know that Maxis Official unlocked iphone 3g are pre-configured with Maxis APN? Mean when you change to other telco, you cannot change APN(Access Point Name). so you cannot use internet services.

Someone mentioned this in an earlier thread somewhere. IIRC, Maxis Iphones are preconfigured with Maxis APN. However, when you insert other telcos simcard the APN settings page reappears and you can configure your telco's settings.

sorry, i kinda blur after reading so much.

let say if i wanted to get i3g on iValue 1 on the 24 months contract and myself is a Maxis postpaid user that used for a year plus.

So, how much do i need to pay upon collecting the i3g 8Gb?
Is it RM1510 only?

FYI, I don't chase my gadgets. In retrospect, this iPhone has been the longest phone I've held onto in my history of using a cellphone, since last year July.

The fact is, there are a majority of us here that has gone through and make full use of our iPhones, and are more than ready for the next transition. The gripe I personally have are the whines and complaints from late adopters that either disbelief, refuse to believe, or even ridicule the notion of an impending new iPhone launch, just because they just got their Maxis iPhones recently. These are the annoyance. I sincerely hope you are not part of these annoyance, and seeing your reasonings, I know it is not the case.

Reward goes to the enlightened and the hardworking. Lust and wantings almost always leads to remorse and regrets later.

im not really getting the "plans". what does it mean iPhone price rm260, you pay 2000, you save whatever...

so um, i pay rm2000 over 5 months* and rm260 upfront? which gives me a 2 year contract with maxis? and over that 2 years i get rm2000 worth of talktime/data transfer?

*said so in the picture

well its not really clear, it doesnt has the word "rebate as talktime/data for the first 5 months" does it now

so how does the 24 month plan come in? i have to stick with maxis and pay rm100 monthly for 2 years?

Then the Big Ads regarding "get up to Rm1050 rebate for your old iphone" never happened?
