Hahaha man man dan la They still can check based on serial number which is unique on each of the phone.

BTW, check out http://gallery.me.com/shah#100197 , a forumer from MYMUG posted the iPhone registration gallery. Take note that the photo "huge iphone mock up" got CYDIA in it, this is really funny

With so many discussions on whether its Malaysia or Singapore set, my belief is that it could be Singapore set. Perhaps, there was an agreement between Apple, Singtel, Maxis & the Indonesia telco that Singapore will supply the Iphones to both these countries. Maybe someone can check on the Indonesian counterpart if their Iphone serial number is also same as Malaysia & Singapore. As Indonesia will also be launching the Iphone.

However, regardless where the phones are from, at least Maxis will be there to provide the after sales service.

As for dumping unsold Iphones here, I'm not surprised. Cos with the current economic situation, there might be lots of left-overs.

Indonesia iphone 3G part number start with
MB489ID/A
MB496ID/A
MB500ID/A
with were different from iphone in Malaysia.

Aiyo.. Malaysia boleh.. Maxis pun boleh!!

A lot of leftovers = price reduction soon

The "price reduction soon" thing may not come from the notion that they may be leftovers at all, but from what's possibly "coming soon" this June/July.

Notice the wordplay....with phrases like "may" and "possibly", as disclaimer of what may or may not arrive this summer 2009.

So, any crowd towards later of the day? Anyone can give some updates?

Just trying to evaluate the response. If not too good, then we shall be seeing better deals soon.

Yup. I think we WILL be getting better packages/plans soon.

according to the maxis staff which i chat wif yesterday during the launch, he said that a lot of consumers/ customers who purchased the phone actually complained that the plans are too expensive.

He said that there is high chances that maxis will review the plan sooner or later because too many ppl have been complaining ...

tat's wat i heard yesterday.

btw, anyone know how to fix this problem. When a contact calls in ( which have been saved in the iphone 3G), the iphone displays the number instead of the Caller ID.

I just got my iphone yesterday, really sorry for asking this kind of questions ...

It's not going to happen SOON. Otherwise, these early adopters who had no choice but to choose the most "affordable" plan to them, will hound them to Hell with this. It took AT&T 8 months to revise their plan even when their stock of iPhones are not flying off the shelves, and it's not going to happen here.

Imagine if a plan revision happens merely 2-3 months after the launch, there will be riot at hand! Bear in mind, the launch audience also includes powerful/influential figures in Malaysia, so screwing these folks are not of best interest to Maxis. When you are tied for 24 months, you have no choice but to serve the 24 months sentence.......I mean term, with no chance of parole........I mean revision. That is what a contract plan is all about. And changing your said plan too early in the game will only look bad, both on you the telco(meaning you never had confidence in your product by flip-floping in your decisions) and to your customers(you are screwing your early adopters, who are the ones most willing to take the brunt of the damage, rather than those on the fence, or bystanders who are observing the situation.)

If it does happen, and Maxis does offer a revised plan, I'm just gonna grab popcorn and a lounge chair,sit back and watch the hilarity as riot breaks out on the street, and mobs of angry Maxis iPhone early adopters storm Manara Maxis, demanding their "jail sentence" to be lightened or made equal as the revised plan. Nobody likes being in jail longer than they should, and if there is a chance of "parole", everyone takes it....with Malaysians being who they are.

.......Unless Maxis themselves takes it in their collective asses and begrudgingly comply and reduces everyone else's plan to a suitable level. If that happens, then there will be the other groups of disgruntled people, ........the Maxis people themselves. when push comes to shove, everyone here knows (even reflected here among the authorities here) that you "take care of your own kind first" rather than the other. And whose kind will Maxis take care first, if not their own?

You signed an agreement, and it is lawfully binding, no amount of complaining, disgruntling or rioting can you weasel your way out of it. That is why you read the fine print and terms of service and conditions before putting down your signature on a piece of paper.

this topic has been discussed before. download Called ID fix for 2.2 from Cydia.

Hahahahaha ... seeing Cydia on the mockup picture really cracks me up (when their promoters said it's illegal to do so).

I'm thankful we have DG on our side......although I do not envy the amount of mess he has to take care of once that happens. DG bro,..........good luck.

i do admit that i'm a noob ..... trying my best to look through website for jail breaks etc everything..

btw , does anyone know that is there any apps program that would enable me to look at local stock market ?

i tried asking those ppl in maxis but they say it's not available, which takes away one of the reasons why i bought iphone 3G...

the native app on your iPhone will allow the search into local bursa saham malaysia as i have personally tested it out before.

@lycan87:

bro..this thread is solely for the discussion of the Maxis launch. for your questions on apps etc. kindly head to the appropriate thread alright? and Google would help you a lot.

@lycan87

Anybody's at KLCC right now? Are they allowing general public in? What are they demoing there, and are walk-in customers finally welcomed in?

I'm going to pick up the mrs at sheraton imperial at 8pm and might swing by to see if the hype still there.

here is how I felt. You need a booking slip to go in. There isn't anything great to want to go in. I got my phone and chow. In and out within one hour.

what is the free gift
