why on earth are you repeating your post again?

What's the point of buying from Maxis when you can buy 2 locked unit, then software unlock, with the same price Maxis is offering?

too damn expensive if u asked me.. for a little bit more, u can get the fully unlocked one, WITH warranty, WITHOUT contract.. seems more logical to get that one rather than the phone itself.. maxis is suckin the blood right outta our necks with a bendy straw.. at least.. thats what i think...

Just think in this way.
IF MAXIS dun earn it now.. WHEN HE EARN...
CANT BE LOWER the Price to Meet Everyone' favourite.

Imposible tat MAXis lower the price now , then raise the price soon..

I think Maxis will still gain some competitor's customers but if you are those who know where to find more affordable iphone 3G, you will not go for maxis especially when the plan is equally expensive, but its good that iphone 3G is so pricey so that we dont see it everywhere someone will be holding an iphone 3G (maintain some uniqueness), which reminds me of motorola V3 high times.

My vote is No

My stand is No, I won't buy it.

Firstly, its not the price of the phone that's gonna kill me, its the 24 month contract that's gonna slaughter me nicely.

Secondly, I just called maxis just now. There is absolutely no way you can include your supplementary line in the Ivalue plan. The plan is only applicable for one number, i.e if you buy the phone at the ivalue 100 plan, the 100 bucks is to cover one number only. They will still suck you on each supplementary line, depending on your usage per month.

The third thing is something I totally cannot accept as a loyal Maxis subscriber. Gotta pay a fuc**** huge deposit with them for the phone. Like what the hell?! On top of the phone, i STILL have to pay a deposit of +- RM 400 to them, for what man, and the joke is, if you take the RM 375 plan (which is the most expensive plan ever), you gotta give them a deposit of RM 2k! It's like giving them an interest free cash loan. I asked Maxis already, they say no matter what, unless your a super high user for a long time( which unfortunately not the whole world is), you gotta pay the deposit through your nose, PLUS the Iphone price.

Totally ridiculous. When they drafted out the plans, they didn't give much though to the public.

Sigh, honestly, I really really liked the Iphone and was looking forward to get it, but because of the pricing and the deposit, I have to let it slide.

Not rich lah, what to do

Too pricey in da long run...it's a BIG "NO" for me..

the maxis unit is a lock or an unlock unit?

as stated many times by forummers, its an unlocked set. i assume msia doesnt haf a law dat disallows locked fones, so i duno y maxis didnt jus tie it up with their network..hmmm...

mmm...for a person that's a maxis loyal customer (doesnt mean it should be u) that can afford monthly commitment of RM375, most likely he/she is already eligible for advance payment waived (minimum 6 month tenure with above RM250 usage). so no need to mention bout the 2k. and if the person isn't previously a maxis customer anyway, most likely the advance of 2k isnt a big deal (considering that he/she can pay RM375 per month).

and u asked maxis bout that, u should get the idea already. yup, unfortunately not the whole world can afford that kind of plan, so that's why maxis made other plans available to cater other market.

my brother jes booked one from maxis under 24 months RM375 but his bill under company, so caused no harm to him...

i persuaded him to get white and exchange with my black, but ....no chance he will give me brand new sparkling white iphone

Maxis have always been a major douche when it comes to plans. I gave them 2 chances and twice they ripped me off. And this iphone package was supposed to be third time but after looking at the plans and utter ridiculousness of the price and terms I rather buy a singtel set.

Say what you want about celcom, even though they screwed up up big time with the blackberry at least they call plans are much more favorable. I've been postpaid plans from digi since 2002 and celcom since 2003 and despite celcom idiosyncratic customer service, their service have yet to disappoint me.

Yeah, I agree...
The plan like selling the car..have this package , that package..
and many installment...OMG... it is only a phone!
I better pay the money for car

eh guys. ini bukan mamakspecial, where you have to *bleep* commercial interest names

price is too over...especially the 2year plan...the cheapest i count 6 month or 12month plan oso nid around rm3000...

Voted NO..

Reason?Simple..

I don't see a reason bonding myself with a contract and then still have to pay almost RM3k for an iPhone when i can an iPhone fully unlocked outright for just RM2500...

if u dont want to be bonded with contract for the Value Plan (6-months contract) u can just terminate it and u'll just have to add another RM100.

as i've said previously, different people got different thought. some will stretch every single ringgit to have more savings, while some are willing to pay a little more for peace of mind. btw as for me, for prepaid users better get the singtel unit (or equivalent).

but yeah it's not like u r using an iPhone without a call plan anyway. so the cost of ownership and usage should not differ that much anyway, in case u r considering the iValue Plans (12-months / 24-months contract), unless u r preferring on prepaid or other telcos call plans. but if u r not using it with tie to phone subscription anyway, why not just consider an iPod Touch? it's also the fastest touch device by Apple to date.
