Buying the iphone..a right choice?

Well as the title speaks for itself

Maxis has brought the Iphone in finally

after it has been released last year...

finally it reaches Malaysia



The Iphone is sold by maxis with contracts

which means you have to be with maxis

for about 12 months

with a monthly payment la.

just like normal applying for a new line



now the question is

SHOULD YOU BUY AN IPHONE BY MAXIS?



according to my friend who works inside maxis

there are some things that you should know



FOR NOW

The 1st thing is

you get a 1 year warranty by maxis/apple

but according to Maxis

You're not allowed to download any other softwares/programes into the Iphone

if you do so, the warranty will be voided



i mean like WTF??

so basically u get an Iphone which you cant download any programs

you can just listen to songs and use the normal functions of the phone



then 2nd thing is..

In an Iphone...

there is a software that is built it with the Iphone

where whenever there isn't any wifi

the phone will automatically connect to GPRS

which will cost a bomb to users if it happens

there is a program by apple to disable this software

but how the hell are you gonna download the software

if ur warranty will be voided if you download any program?



then 3rd part is

If you buy an Apple Iphone from outside of the country

the kiasu maxis

has made up this rule whereas

They can deny repair services to the Iphone

or also deny maxis services to the phone if asked

because the Iphone you bought

is not dealed by Maxis

thus they'll say you got it ILLEGALLY



All this news has been informed from my friend

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE EVERYTHING HERE FOR GRANTED

as it is just news passed down

and is just the current situation reported by my friend


but one thing for sure

MAKE SURE YOU DO CHECK THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

OF THE MAXIS IPHONE




so yeah

just think about it if ur buying the Iphone=)

and make sure u read every condition set by maxis

so you wont regret anything



till da next post
