Apple iPhone 3G in Malaysia?

UPDATE! (Rumoured)

I have just read rumours that Maxis, one of our leading telcom provider has secured the franchising of the much hyped Apple iPhone 3G. If this is true, we malaysian will now able to purchase the phones legally and not through the black market with dodgy vendors that will not provide warranty on the phones.

What is even better news is that Maxis is rumoured to be selling it within the RM1,000 ringgit bracket. If this again is true, then my dreams of getting an Apple iPhone will finally come true.
This is great news for all us Apple iPhone lovers!

I reckon that in order for Maxis to sell the iPhone at such a price, it might be only opened to price plans of about RM150 a month and probably a tie up of 2 years (24 months). So this way Maxis will have its way of retaining that customer for 2 years on that plan. Lets do some simple maths to give you a better idea.

Phone Price - RM1,000 (not actual)
Plan Price - RM3,600 (24 months @ RM150 per month)

So the total price of actually owning the Apple iPhone would be in the region of RM4,600
but then again, this price includes the calls you make or will be making. You do need to look at the brighter picture, at least we can get it legally here now. No mess on unlocking the phone or will it work with my Service provider.

I bet Maxis's customer growth will significantly increase with the introduction of apple iphone into its product lineup. Good move by Maxis to secure this franchise. Digi will need to get those fat yellow guys to work harder to keep up with Maxis.

Now the question is when will Maxis officially release information to confirm the above rumour.
I can't wait..!!
