iPhone 3G is Finally Coming to Malaysia

iPhone in Malaysia

I got this piece of news from The Edge Daily. I was planning to write about it, somehow MohdIsmail beat me to it.

Maxis will potentially bring  iPhone to Malaysia and it will cost below RM1,000 ( I’ll take RM999 as the answer). Having said that, Maxis refrained to further comment on the matter.

Is iPhone cool? I don’t know. I’m always against majority. I don’t think it’s ‘THAT‘cool, but for under RM1,000, I’ll take it anyday.

You know back in those days where Nokia 3210 was the ‘in thing‘, everybody got one and pretended to answer calls, just to show off. I met a guy who owns an iPhone.

*pap* He puts his ‘sleek‘ phone on the table (he’s showing off). ‘What’s that?’, I already knew it’s an iPhone.

‘It’s the new phone from Apple, you know MAC.. something like that, called iPhone’, he replied.

‘What do you with it?’, in a cynical tone, I asked. ‘SMS and call only lah‘.

I’ll stick to my SE W800i. I am an engineer by qualification, practicality comes before anything.

ps: If the plan is right, I might be getting one too  :arrow:

tempting!
tapi harap jangan lama sangatlah process nak bawak masuk iPhone 3g. nanti dah tak panas lagi. for under rm1k , it seems reasonable. now let us wait for the TnC.

uh oh. *yawn* an engineer cum businessman i knew, got it for free because his boss, well..as usual, don’t know how to use it. hahaha. so he went to low yat, have its system hacked/modified and voila! he’s been using it ever since. with 3G, of course.

now that is uber cool. :cool: not to mention illegal. :arrow:

get one, surfing on the go is fun with iPhone. tapi built in camera mcm hampeh sket. SE is better in terms of that.

anything under the sun can be hacked, it’s the warranty that matters most. since we can’t insure our mobile phones in Malaysia, it’s quite risky getting illegal ones. unless its free :arrow:

I’m not a fan of phones. I don’t even care much about iphone. but now that it’s not more than 1k, and it looks cool. dang.

but, if i have one, i bet it’s gonna get broken in just 2 months. i suka campak2 phone. hahah.

I hope it’s below 1k mark.

1 thing i hate about the iPhone, battery life. Everyday needs to recharge.

what do you need video call for? If you are pekak and/or bisu, its very useful, otherwise I think it can only be used as video sex. HAhaha just my POV

If it is below 1k, I will take it. I played with it before, the old iPhone without 3G, but who cares? It has WiFi capability, just go to anywhere with WiFi connection and hook it up. I just love the browser. Damn big ass screen, for me to online, watch YouTube and movies, writing and reading blogs, listening to songs. Sweet factor as well. Oh, that friend of yours.. if sms and call only, better get a monochrome phone lah haha! I used my phone to the max, installed with Opera Mini, E-buddy, MMS, converted movies to watch.. :D

your phone SE right? Ive tried surfing on my phone, looked stupid and slow.

iPhone is undoubtedly best known for its internet browsing speed. normal pda slow.

if I get iPhone, i’ll listen to music and watch movie, more than I’ll make calls.

hmm.. aku okay jer.. aku check mail, read blogs, (dulu boleh reply.. now installed threaded comment plugin tak boleh daaaaaa), Facebooking pakai hp :D yeah, SE k618i :up: dulu pakai nokia, bodoh lah.. sucks at multi-tasking, ada tengah online nak reply sms, hang. SE cool, aku sms, online, ambik gambar, main lagu.. relax jer. normal PDA kalut sangat… I just need a phone to surf internet, main lagu, tengok movie.. and simple PIM functions :up:

Aku sokong bong! Nokia bodoh setengah mati… bebalik hang … walau apa pun.. I’m still a fan of SE! SE Rox! I’m waiting for that SE Xperia, but if it’s too expensive, then maybe I’ll give iPhone a try :razz:

p.s: Video calls bukan sekadar utk video sex lah NH, my mom-in-law uses that to see her grandkids :up:

Maybe it’s just sheer jealousy, but I never liked people brandishing things that aren’t locally available in open public to everyone. As if they’re desperately trying to make a statement that they’re rich and famous enough to get something that sets them apart from the rest of the society. Richer Malaysians did bought hacked iPhones from the US, and I’ve seen people who wouldn’t stop showing off their new (and useless) gizmo in front of everyone - generally an iPhone in Malaysia can only be used for sms and calling. Nothing else, since local operators do not support features that are supported by AT&T in the US. Whatever :neutral:
