I think many of you guys have already knew about the iPhone 3G in Malaysia. The official telco for iPhone is Maxis. Maxis is promoting the iPhone 3G everywhere right now, you can see ads in the TV, radio, newspaper, billboards and roadshows.

It’s good to have iPhone officially launched in Malaysia so that we can no worry of warranty and service by Apple if we got a faulty iPhone. However, buying the iPhone 3G with the plan provided by Maxis is very expensive.

That’s an iPod touch, not an iPhone. I have sucky China iPhone at home. =)

The plan is quite expensive if comparing to iPhone plan in UK and United States. The cheapest iPhone in the plan is priced at FOC for 8GB and RM260 for 16GB but you need to have a monthly commitment fee of up to RM374 for 24 months contract.

Check the iPhone 3G plan here.

After going through all the plans, I think I would rather buy an unlock iPhone 3G for around RM2000 without contract for a 8GB unit. My monthly phone bill is always below RM100 and I have no way to pay a monthly commitment of RM100. Make phone calls or not, you still have to pay RM100 for every month for the 12/24 months contract.

If you would want to buy a iPhone 3G now, I suggest you to wait as the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference that will happening in June will probably announces a next generation iPhone 3G with video camera and perhaps a better camera. Let’s hope for a improved feature next gen iPhone. =)

The previous post preview is not about an iPhone 3G but is a fake iPhone 3G preview.

My dad went to China recently and he did not get scam from the Chinese phone dealer. He knew it’s fake and he bought back for me to try out the phone to see whether is it a good fake phone or not. After playing for 30 minutes, I got fed up and kept it back into the box and not to touch it any more. It sucks.

The phone is cheap, both the built quality and the price. It’s not very cheap but is cheaper than the real iPhone for like more than 50% (this is definitely). Dad bought it for 600RMB in Shenzhen.The phone size look the same, the box look the same, but when hands on, it’s heavier and the screen is very plastiky feeling. Another obvious difference is the smaller screen.

The fake iPhone got no 3.5mm headphone jack, it’s removed from the cover. I thought Chinese phone has a good camera but it’s just VGA quality and very sucky.

One thing very cool is that the phone come with an extra rechargable battery and the capacity is 5800mAh and it’s a big number. You can’t change iPhone battery in the real one but in this you can. Besides that, you can load 2 SIM card into a phone, so you can have two line operating at the same time. This is an common Chinese phone’s feature.

What I hate the most is the crappy and sucky software of this Chinese iPhone. It’s just a clone of real iPhone OS but their cloning work is bad, the font is ugly and the icon too is ugly.

It’s not easy to navigate around the phone, it lags and the SMS feature sucks the most. There’s a very very tiny qwerty which most probably needs a stylus but it doesn’t provide a stylus. The GPRS Internet setting is hard to configure too.

They loaded a lot of games into it but none of them works. It’s just cosmetic icons in the phone.

Overall, this thing is a bad copy and I hate it a lot. Now I hate copy, it’s better to buy a typical Chinese TV/Dual Sim/Loud Speaker phone more than a clone iPhone which doesn’t really work. What a bullsh*t. Sorry for the rudeness as I just hate it.

Have you seen before Nokia branded thumbdrive? I got one right now and it has Nokia logo imprint on it. It can be worn on the wrist as a stylist wrist band but I won’t do so. Actually it’s just a little gift that I got during Nokia’s Roadshow in Gurney Plaza last weekend.

And this kind of thumbdrive is widely available at gift making shop. =) So it’s not really a thumbdrive made by Nokia. You can have your name print on it too if you want it. By the way, thank you Nokia’s Roadshow for this gift. I wonder why not giving me a phone?

Show you the box first, don’t be surprise, don’t laugh, don’t amaze, don’t shock, don’t be happy, don’t be sad, don’t be angry, don’t be excited after the actual post about the ultimate device. =)

I used CHH3 for my domain renewal. =) I am not sure when this code is going to expired but it works for me for now.

Last weekend, I was walking around Prangin Mall and saw a line of people lining up beside the Sony store. I saw the Sony Cybershot T90 poster and thought that they were one of those who want to be first to get their hands on, I thought they were hardcore fan of the camera so the line up for it. I was wrong, I was wrong, I got everything wrong until I went to Gurney Plaza.

There’s no line then because it’s like a few hours after 3pm. Only I knew that for the first 10 customer that buy the latest Cybershot T90 will also get a Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman mobile phone. That time I was like “wtf, why didn’t I check properly and join in the line?!”. It’s like killing two birds with one stone, a camera and a phone.

I wonder why they knew about it and I don’t. I should have be more informative and check on something out properly instead of just guessing around. I was so silly that I miss a good opportunity. Oh gosh.

By the way, Cybershot T90 is pretty becaus it has HD video recording and it’s slim. I like, but I don’t really know about the picture quality yet. One thing is good about Sony is that they always makes good looking camera with so-so but not superb quality digital camera.
