Iphone4 crazeeee

 

yeah I know this is old news, but yeah the iphone4 has reached the shores of Malaysia, officially that is. Before this iphone fans who have dough to blow will purchase from other countries and through grey market dealers, but finally the iphone4 is here!

 

I dont bash apple, i just bash iphones :) Blackbery all the wayyy ftw!

 

Anyways, Maxis and DiGi has launched their plans on the same day but both going on different types of plans.

The giant Maxis has 4 plans, the iValue1, iValue2, iValue3 and iValue4.

The plan consist of paying the phone first, at a subsidized price and then paying for a Maxis line with a monthly fee.

One glance is enough to see that iValue4 is the worst plan of all and any of you that is going to take this plan should go and evaluate your life.

ignore the calls and sms and data plan. i mean how much calls do you actually use? 2500mins a month? more than enough and 4gb of data is too much honestly unless you downloading stuff. but you can always use wifi for that. 

but the most important thing is the monthly fee. Sure you can get the phone for free on a 2 years contract. here’s the formula for you

rm375 a month. x 12months x 2 years = rm9k at the end of contract. Rm9,000 for a phone which you cant change for 2 years. seriously? what if you lose or get your phone stolen halfway? and if by that time, iPhone6 should be out (if you see the history there’s a new iphone every year)

think about it.

On to the DiGi plan!

Now this is a plan worth having if you are desperate for the iphone4.

Pay rm2090 for the 16gb or rm2490 for the 32gb versions upfront and pay rm58 a month with auto billing for the next 24 months.

and the rm58 is actually paying for the monthly internet bill. you just pay for your calls and sms as you use at the normal rates. So much simpler and so much easier. and cheaper :)

but in conclusion i wouldnt bother with an iphone4.. rather wait for the Blackberry torch or a new version of the bold. I would however always pick the ipod touch over the iphone anytime. The new ipod touch has the same tech such as 5megapixel HD camera, retina display etc etc for the price of U$D 299 for the 16gb. just without the call and sms plans
