QUOTE(davidgary73 @ Jun 19 2009, 01:19 PM) Please read the first post and read Commonly Asked Questions on Maxis iPhone 3G. Thank you Sorry David, I've been MIA from LY forum for moons already until yesterday. Planning to get the 3GS but didn't want to switch to Maxis, hence I need a confirmation that Iphone bought from Maxis could be used on other telcos w/o the need to software unlock as mine current 2G is kinda unstable when software unlocked. What's the normal procedure for activation, izzit to activate it with a maxis sim card and then could use with other telco sims? Thanks.

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jun 19 2009, 03:14 PM) @jonest, Maxis sets are unlocked sets as far as I know  Thanks Tink, couldn't believe Maxis would allow it... given their known reputation... Now just can't wait for them to launch the 3GS.... hmmm wonder how much would Singtel offers then....

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jun 19 2009, 03:23 PM) @jonest, Your guess is as good as mine. If you're really interested in getting an iPhone 3GS, look up stringfellow; he's got 1 space for 1 more unit; coming in from Rome @ EUR 715 (32GB iPhone 3G S) Saw his posts, but EUR715 @ RM3521.70!! I'll pass it... All we could hope that Maxis or Singtel or even Apple HongKong won't be that scrupulous (I meant Apple Italy)!!! Pray Hard! This post has been edited by jonest: Jun 19 2009, 03:45 PM

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jun 19 2009, 04:00 PM) @jonest, It's uhm.. 32GB !  But Yeah I'll give it a pass too. If it was 715 in local currency I would have jumped on the bandwagon  If it's RM715, I'll place the order for at least 5 units, so every1 in the office would be using Iphone!!! yipppeeeeee .... it could only happens in a couple of years, when they launched the 5th or 6th gen Iphone, then the 3GS would become obsolete model....

Yipppeeeeee, registered my interest on the web, have you?
Added on July 9, 2009, 3:46 pmFor all we know, they gonna announce the pricing on 15th July 2009 (according to the FAQ) and launch date on 17th July??? (I wish)... heeeee. Anyway, to those who are interested in the Maxis iPhone 3GS better register first then decides late once the price plan is out on 15th. Then we can know which set is cheaper, OZ, NZ, Spore or M'sia?

Or at least make sure ur info is 101% accurate. else...... u got some  forumers......  . Great Power come with Great Responsibilites......  wonder how david keep up???

Anyway, HOPES Maxis will launch it 8G - RM2K+ 16GB - RM2.5K+ 32GB - RM3K+....... just pray.....
And to those who are planning to profit from OZ or Spore set, a piece of advise, don't be 2 greedy and bring back 2 many sets that u can't handle. Sekali Maxis sells it at OK price (with Maxis I wouldn't use the word "CHEAP"!) then ur stuck wif extra set and gotta sell at loss to recover. Just be careful, GREED kills!!!

I've like 400k+ points in my account but I don't really need a Mac right now - also, mine's under MR (for Amex) so might be different conversion. Need to check it out . 400K points!!!!! OMG....... shopaholic huh???  tot mine was great.... can't beat the giants thou....

Consumers just have to be wiser that's all  Tot they cleared stocks??? what to do? selling price so high so not many contemplating to get from them. Hope they learnt a lesson well...
