And we know how maxis 3G coverage is like. Do you think it's worth it to get the 'Official Malaysia' iPhone when you already have one?

Yeah Maxis 3G Coverage is the BEST! rclxms.gif

Malaysia is about rich just rampas all the money what... Rakyat yang suffer... What is new? I ask you.

If it is any consolation a lot of people in US also not happy with AT&T and those in Canada not happy with Rogers Telco.

Singapore --- cannot fight la, Singapore much more canggih than Malaysia for sure, right? cool2.gif

Yup. Got mine Singtel August 2008 $1050 SGD (off eBay Singapore). I feel sad for all those waiting only to see the rape prices from Maxis. To be honest not that unexpected but given the economic status this year, could be considered somewhat greedy by Maxis? I don't know.

Malaysia. *SIGH*. shakehead.gif

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 tongue.gif

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

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

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. sweat.gif

The iPhone 3G Maxis launch will be held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center on March 20th at 7pm. Customers who booked their iPhones via the link posted above are invited to pick up their iPhones at the launch ceremony on that day,time and venue. Walk-in customers are also invited to come, to register, and will be informed when they can collect their iPhones later.

Also got a peek at their internal email regarding launch dates on 20th-22nd. They are recruiting people to come and showcase the iPhone on these dates, and calling them "iPhone3G Buffs". Limited Edition iPhone 3G T-Shirts, and meals are provided.

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?

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!

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.....

If new iPhone 3G model comes out in June, people that sign the 2 year or even 1 year contract will be... well, a litle annoyed perhaps. blink.gif
