Iphone 3GS, a lot of people dream about it and save some money to buy this phone. This happen to me as well. But after I find out one important reason from my colleague on last month Jan 2010, it has changed my mind to NOT buy for this phone anymore. This phone actually cost from RM 1990 to RM 2950. I think a lot of people do not aware of this issue as well. Below table I take from Maxis web. You may visit maxis.com.my to find out more and accurate information.
There a 4 reason to stop me purchase this high technology phone.
1. Once your battery is bad, you have to pay RM800 to change the battery.
2. After you send your iphone to change the battery, Apple will send your phone back to OEM to change for you. Time frame 2 – 3 months. You will lose your iphone for few months.
3. After that you are so happy to receive back your iphone, the iphone that you own are not guarantee is your original unit and will be refurbish iphone that someone own.
4. Iphone email cannot receive attachment…… These issues really kill some of us who use iphone for business purpose.
You may call Apple or Maxis to ask for the detail. I do the same thing and found out is true. If there is any new information, please do inform me thru this blog so that I will buy this iphone. Actually I really like/need it because of so high tech and beautiful phone. ^^
