If I'm gonna bind myself to a contract, my requirement is:

1) The phone I'm gonna get is cheap. Why else would I get a contract?
2) The minimum monthly payment includes everything I'm gonna use, which is calls, SMS, MMS and data.
3) The minimum monthly must be equal to what I'm currently paying monthly.

So, IMO

1) The iPhone can be cheap, but it'll contradict with no. 3.
2) Plans only include calls and data. I don't like the idea of paying more than my monthly commitment.
3) Refer to #1. I'm averaging between RM50-70 per month now with Digi. RM100 is reasonable considering the data offered, but again, it contradicts #1.

My opinion-lah. I'd love to have an iPhone, but I can be patient and wait to see if Maxis may change its plans. I already have an iPod touch and a decent 3g phone, so I won't really miss much without an iPhone
