Finally, iPhone landed in Malaysia officially
Should I exciting with this? Not anymore, cause I already own iPhone .
But, surely for those who’re craving for iPhone, this is indeed what they’re are looking for. The rumors are over, it is confirm now, MAXIS is bringing iPhone to Malaysia.
I can start to see the iPhone buzz on the local tech blogsphere as well as Twitter 
Folks from MyMacbuzz and MalaysiaWireless are among the first to get an early preview of Maxis iPhone page, although it was been taken down at around 11.00AM something.
I too dispointed that I could’t get to the page initially, but as of 4:22PM, the page is up again until I finish writing this post (while writing some stored proc.)
So what’s the deal? Early customers who registered before 17th March will be invited to the official launch at KL Convention Centre on 20-23the March.
And then , there are 3 plans available to choose from, for 24, 12 and 6 months contract. I don’t go into much detail, but at the end of the day, the cost of ownership of this phone seems like not really economical for lite prepaid users like me. As far as I can see, the montly plan started at RM100.
But before you decide to ‘Go’ or ‘NOGO’, just make sure you fully understand the terms and condition. Read carefully okey..

Iphone can is still holds the world market,
but price is still damn expensive..
iphone does command a nice price for the features it provides. But yeah, any new technology is pretty expensive when launched but tends to get cheaper as more and more people buy it.
@Budeen, what to do..
