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. =)
