UPDATE: DiGi iPhone 4 officially launched, read more here.
DiGi are in the midst of updating their website with the new iPhone 4 plans and we’re not entirely sure why the web guys are doing it in a live environment because they’ve just inadvertently leaked the much, much, much awaited iPhone 4 plans from DiGi.
We’re crunching the numbers to see if the numbers to see if the claimed “most affordable” moniker is true but at the skin of it, we’re thinking Maxis has a better proposition. What do you think? Take a look at tell us which one would you choose, DiGi or Maxis?

We’re just five hours away from DiGi’s iPhone 4 plan launch and we’ve gotten some more details on what will happen later this evening.
Confirmed that there will be a roadshow at Quill 9, Jalan Semangat, PJ today, but it will only run from 25 to 26 September. DiGi is offering RM100 “savings” when you trade-in your old phone for the iPhone 4. For the bling-ers, you’ll be happy to note that there will also be some discounts on iPhone 4 accessories and the first 50 customers to sign-up with DiGi for the iPhone 4 will get a free and “exclusive” iPhone 4 sleeve. We don’t think it’s the original iPhone 4 bumpers sold by Apple though.
Other than that, there’s a lucky draw as well and that’s about it. Sorry, we wished we had more stuff to share but we don’t.
And finally, thanks for the headsup @icycold156 
Before you jump for joy, this offer is only valid to DiGi’s Priority Service customers and runs from DiGi’s iPhone 4 launch day till 3 October.
Are you a DiGi Priority Service customer? Well first up, you can’t sign-up for it, DiGi chooses you and for you to qualify you’ll need to be with DiGi for at least 13 months and and spend on average RM300 a month.
Yeah, so…for more details and DiGi Priority Service, click here.

Crunch Time: iPhone 4 Malaysia launch, DiGi and Maxis face off!

It looks like all bets are off and both DiGi and Maxis will be pulling out all the stops to entice you purchase the iPhone 4 from them. We are now just hours away from what could possibly be Malaysia’s most epic telco battle ever!
We were the first to report on the claim that DiGi made about it’s iPhone 4 offering being the “most affordable” in the country. Having placed a booking for the iPhone 4 with Maxis, we’ve now re-looked at our plans to get the device from Maxis knowing that DiGi could offer something better.
And we suspect many of you who’ve made bookings or are considering to get the iPhone 4 from Maxis are seriously reconsidering and waiting to see what DiGi has to offer.
Maxis is feeling the heat from this and have gone all out to get everyone to attend their midnight launch tonight. They’ve gone on all channels, including on radio, Twitter and via SMS to invite the general public to come to their midnight launch tonight.
Looks like whether you’ve made a booking or not, Maxis will entertain you if you come tonight to purchase the iPhone 4 with them. Not being able to offer the iPhone 4 as early as Maxis, DiGi is trying to woo as many people with of Maxis its yet to be revealed iPhone 4 plan.
From where we’re looking at it, it appears that DiGi’s tactic is working. Many are now playing the waiting game to see who has the better offer and if indeed DiGi’s iPhone 4 deal is the most affordable in the country.
Now the question of sufficient stocks come into play. If the difference in pricing is minimal, many would opt to get the iPhone 4 from the telco that can provide it on the spot. Many will recall that during the iPhone 3GS days, Maxis was notorious for ridiculously long waiting periods (up to one month or even more) while DiGi, although it had launch the 3GS much later than Maxis, was able to provide units on the spot.
The game will have changed slightly now as both telcos are launching the iPhone 4 at the roughly the same time which means that spread of demand will be split between the two — at what ratio, we can only estimate that more will opt to purchase from Maxis. How much more, we don’t know — you can however expect to be able to get the iPhone 4 from either telco quite easily in our opinion. BUT, as with all predictions, we could be wrong.
We’ll be at the DiGi launch today and the Maxis iPhone 4 launch tonight to give you the latest developments on this, so keep it locked on to SoyaCincau.com.
DiGi claims to offer the “most affordable” iPhone 4 in Malaysia

UPDATE: DiGi iPhone 4 officially launched, read more about it here.
There are probably two reason why DiGi is keeping very quite about it’s iPhone 4 plan, 1)the plans are humdrum, nothing special kind, or 2) it is good enough to make you think twice about getting the iPhone 4 on a Maxis contract.
And judging by the banner they’ve put up for the media launch even happening at 1800hrs tomorrow, we’re suspecting that it’s the later.
DiGi is putting out a bold claim saying that offer the “most affordable” iPhone 4 in the country. We don’t know about you but that is enough to make us think twice about buying an iPhone 4 from Maxis. Make no mistake, we’ve made a booking on an iPhone 4 with Maxis. Now, we’re not too sure.
Well, all will be revealed when DiGi makes public its iPhone 4 plans. We will be there at the launch and we will try to give you the updates as it happens, stay tuned.
To make things more interesting, there is also a probability that Maxis will change their iPhone 4 plans during their midnight launch tonight. Jeng, jeng, jeng!
In the meantime, we’re asking you. Which will you choose? DiGi or Maxis? Comment us ya.
Oh, and to those that’s wondering where the event will take place, it’s a Quill 9, 112 Jalan Semangat, PJ. Note that it’s an invitation only event and no iPhone 4 will be on sale at the venue. We’re not sure if there will be public demo outside of the venue but we will update you when we get there to save you some time and hassle, because as you know, traffic will be crazy along that route at 1800hrs.

(Update: 23092010 00:09hrs) DiGi claims it’s iPhone 4 offerings are the most affordable in the country. Read all about it here.
(Update: 22092010 15:33hrs) We just got our invite for the DiGi launch tomorrow. Thanks you DiGi PR 
Also big thanks to the unnamed source. We don’t know you but you’re awesome!
(Update: 22092010 15:33hrs) Our unnamed source says that it is confirmed that DiGi will be holding a media launch for the iPhone 4 tomorrow, 23 September at 1800hrs ahead of Maxis. iPhone 4s are no available for purchase at media launch but demo units are available for playing around with. At the event DiGi will reveal it iPhone 4 plans. It is also revealed that you will be able to purchase the iPhone 4 from DiGi from 25 September onwards at the One Utama roadshow. We are still trying to get invites for this event. DiGi PR, if you’re reading this, please do drop us a line. Thanks!
Word on the street is that DiGi will launch the iPhone 4 at the same time as Maxis but we are getting unconfirmed reports from an unnamed source that DiGi will be launching the iPhone 4 TOMORROW, 23 September. Specifically at 1800hrs, a full 6 hours ahead of Maxis’ planned midnight iPhone 4 launch.
The source is unable to confirm if this is simply a plan unveiling or if subscribers will be able to get the iPhone 4 on the spot. And it looks to be a media event, possibly not a public one, which means it’s invitations only. Whatever it is we’ll update you on developments as it happens.

DiGi make Micro SIM available

We’re feeling the iPhone 4 buzz in Malaysia getting more intense as we move closer and closer to the speculated launch date.
Adding more intensity into the buzz is DiGi which has quietly added a section on Micro SIMs in its FAQ section.
The Micro SIMs from DiGi has been available since September 9 and requires you to pay a “SIM replacement” fee of RM20. To get a Micro SIM from DiGi, all you need to do is walk-in to selected DiGi Centres and request a Micro SIM replacement. For a list of DiGi Centre from where you can get a Micro SIM, click here.
Looks like both telcos are gearing for the iPhone 4 launch and the competition between the two will be fierce, the question is, who will break the word first.
Either way, which telco would you get your iPhone 4 from?

Maxis reveals iPhone 4 clues on Facebook

As we’re drawing closer and closer to the date we predict that the iPhone 4 will launch in Malaysia, Maxis have been dropping clues on Facebook that an iPhone 4 launch is near.
First up, Maxis has ran out of the 16GB iPhone 3GS and there are “limited stock” of the 32GB 3GS. This is not much of a surprise, everyone knows both Maxis and DiGi are clearing 3GS stocks to make way for the iPhone 4 and the 8GB 3GS.
But what’s interesting is that Maxis, on its FB page have indicated that they will launch the iPhone 4 sometime in “August or September”. We might have to revise our prediction slightly but we still feel that an August launch is probable.
Now, it’s just a matter of Maxis making the announcement.
Speaking of device launches, it appears that DiGi and Maxis are not as enthusiastic about bringing the BlackBerry Torch to Malaysia as they are with the iPhone 4. Even Celcom, a telco that’s big on Berrys are not saying anything about the Torch.

If you’re wondering which country is selling the cheapest non-contract, unlocked iPhone 4, well look no further than Singapore where you can get an unlocked, no contract 32GB iPhone 4 for about RM2,450 (a 16GB version is around RM2,074).
Technically Hong Kong is cheaper by about RM20 but you have to factor in the flight cost and the time it takes to fly there so the savings is really not that worth it.
Click on the main picture for a larger image and see how the iPhone 4 is priced around the world. The creator of the infographic made it simple for everyone to find the cheapest price by excluding locked iPhone 4s and iPhone 4s that are unlock but require a contract to be purchased. Everything is pretty self-explanatory, you’ll get the drift pretty quickly.
