Hi,

Don’t buy from Maxis! They have crap customer service.

I’d got mine for one week and start to give problem. ‘One way audio’ said the Maxis customer service guy at KLCC and promised me a new unit in 24 hrs. Its been a week, not one call from them. Called their hotline -123 three times. The guys and girls over the other end of the line seems a bit lost on what to do. They made promises to get back but not even one sms till today.

I paid 2k for a new iphone and they took it back just like that.

Beware of Maxis.

Yes, i totally agreed. Dont pay from maxis while the supplier is so cheap!
Even the macbook pro 17 inches just around 4k plus.

I have a strong feelings that iPhone 4G is coming out this July, Steve Jobs will be introducing it. They save iPhone 4G for Steve Jobs since Steve is still in the Hospital for medication. cheers; nazz

Hmmm……think this phone is for ppl who are rich and have a lots of free time (nothing to do).
+ 1 more disadvantage – Whenever new OS release, after you upgrade, it may not compatible with all of your previous applications. Hahha….this can let you miss some of your favorite applications and spend your time again to look for new or compatible applications.

Q here – Why make yourself so busy and troublesome?

Got my Iphone 3G from US 4-5 months ago, is it great, love the email functions, got all my emails, yahoo, gmail, hotmail and even company mail since it has microsoft exchange email.

I like the facebook and rss reader too, can’t miss paultan rss..

And for the review that said that no cut & paste, not true at all, if you jailbroken it, there is a free cut and paste apps called “clippy”.

love the big font and seamless zoom in/out….good upgrade from my previous HTC.

hmm..The price is still reasonable and under budget ge(for working ppl la coz sum no can claim)..
If you ask me what really make me to get this plan? Definitely iPhone’s cool touch screen,cool and stylish which really make me feel cool and different from others.But when talk about features..haha..it’s so sad to hear that

# Cannot type on iPhone with one hand ?
# Cannot forward funny/interesting SMS by friend to other friends?

haiz..can’t in 1 hand?normally i type with 1 finger ..how can it happen..lol.Ermm..It really disaster for young guy and many business ppl also,sure you’ll feel like boycott from your geng as headache for you to share with other your fowarded message..

1 critical problem is..Cannot replace build-in battery?can anyone tell me how if battery rosak?where can fix replace ? Or which mean get a new iPone? It also crucial consideration to get this plan o..

Anyway,so great to hear MatBlogger’s reponse #10 ..”But none of these phones have come close to the iPhone in terms of usability and the stability of the OS.”..wow,it let me no wory abt usability and the stability..which also the big thing ppl really concern for long term.

I did bought the Maxis IPhone 3G and used it for 2 days only, before i decided to change to Nokia E90.

Very dissapointed with the IPhone and even its basic featurings. Hope Apple could release better phones in future.

iphone sucks. I got mine from the US last year, used it half a day and never used it again. It offers very limited and basic phone and text messaging features. Not sure why they even bother calling it an i”Phone”. Its all hype.

I still stick with my Blackberry Storm. It gets the jobs done and much more. I am not into gaming much
Plus if I really want a gaming experience my clones powerfull desktop can equipt me for that.

Having said that if you are talking about palm devices that surft internet and emails lots of
Productive office work the most important thing that you need is batteries. Having a spare battery
Handy will definitely help especially if you are on flights or in the airport waiting for your flights.

Not having the ability to change battery while on the move is a definite a minus point for us
Business travellers.

For those who loves gaming hehe get urself a Nintendo instead just kidding folks.

@ Yoga n kopok

Hey good idea! so i went browsing around and reading up on G1. Overall it looks awsome. Correct me if i’m wrong, BUT afew things bother me:

1. I have LOTS of music. I wish there was a way 4 me to manage n sync my music on the G1. From what I read, u have to manually drop the mp3 files into the phone and u can make playlist only on the phone. No itunes or wmp compatibility (also some ppl were saying that the album cover doesnt work)

2. some of the user on youtube reported that the apps on android market is kinda buggy. I dont know how true this is but consider the fact that android is an open platform, there is the possibility that apps on market could become carriers of spyware and malware. With itunes app store, all apps are screen n approved by apple.

3. no push mail n on screen touch keyboard. i saw the demo. its kinda annoying when u have to flip the phone n slide it to type every single time.

4. google should polish up on the android platform ui, then it can really be an iphone killer

5. i get lots of email attachments. can i view pdf, xl, ppt n word docs?

6. the g1 phone design is nicely done. a slide out keyboard n the trackball nav is just snazzy. would be better if it had multitouch =D

7. to sync contacts n calendar u have to get online n sync it with google first. i’m not a huge fan of these ‘cloud’ application because i don’t like the idea of storing my data on the internet.

8. the shop savy app is KOOL!! but not sure if its working here in malaysia.lol

like i said. these are just some of the infos i found on the net, i might have gotten it wrong. anyone with experience using the g1… feel free to jump in n correct me.

no phone is perfect n even iphone had alot of growing pains when it was first introduced. BUT as far as i can tell, this is a great start for the g1 phone n the android platform…
