DiGi finally offers iPhone 4 in white

DiGi has finally started to offer the white iPhone 4, after Maxis and Celcom started theirs much earlier. A while back, DiGi was the first to indicate that they are bringing in the iPhone 4 but turns out that they are late for the party. Well like the saying goes, better late than never.
For those who wanted lower commitment and easier to own payment plans with up to 36 months 0% interest installment, DiGi might be something worth considering. If you’re interested, you might want to catch their roadshow at KLCC Centre area from today 11th until 14th June.
More information at DiGi’s iPhone 4 page.

UPDATE: Maxis has confirmed that the the white iPhone 4 is available at all Maxis Centres in the Klang Valley. They advise you tweet to @maxislistens on stock availability.
Maxis has revealed that it is offering the White iPhone 4 claiming it to be the first to offer it in Malaysia. A while ago, DiGi started a teaser that it is offering the White iPhone 4 but had not provided any availability dates. Singapore had theirs last Friday.
We have no idea whether it is available at all Maxis outlets at the moment but from the copy above, it looks like Maxis is riding riding on the Mother’s Day celebrations which is coming this Sunday, 8th of May.
For more information, head to Maxis’s iPhone 4 page.
Thanks to chengkiong for the heads up!

Those longing for the White iPhone 4, your prayers have finally been answered. DiGi is starting its Registration of Interest for the Whilte iPhone 4 which everybody has been waiting for ages.
If you’re one of those iPhone 4 hopefuls that wish to stand out from the crowd, the white iPhone 4 is something worth considering. No dates or pricing details were mentioned as usual but we believe it should be offered at the same price as its Black iPhone 4 models.
If you’re interested, sign up for Registration of Interest here.
iPhone 4 in Malaysia: DiGi vs Maxis plans

UPDATE: Added comparison for iPhone 4 32GB and 16GB for both 12/24 months contract. Please note that all DiGi’s iDiGi plans are tied to 24 months contract. The 12 months table below is for comparison only.
UPDATE 2: The iPhone 4S is launching in Malaysia on 16th December. Check out the iPhone 4S Plans from DiGi and Maxis.
UPDATE 3: iPhone 4S DiGi vs Maxis vs Celcom plans compared.
The iPhone 4 is officially available in Malaysia with both DiGi and Maxis starting from today. Both telcos are having different ways of bundling this anticipated device which could be rather challenging to compare. With the plans revealed, the biggest question now is which one is cheaper and comes with greater value?
To find out, we compared Maxis’s iValue plans with DiGi’s iDiGi plans as both had rather similar style of bundling talk time, sms, mms and data. iData is not included in the comparison as there isn’t a DiGi equivalent, plus the device is more expensive compared to its iValue offering. Just like our previous iDiGi vs iValue comparison, we list out all the bundled features for side by side comparison.
Maxis offers trade in for iPhones until Saturday

UPDATE: Maxis tweeted that this trade in offer is only for those who had RSVP only.
Want an iPhone 4 but don’t know how to get rid of the old one? Maxis has tweeted that they are opening trade-in counters from tonight until Saturday. We guess Maxis must have listened to many tweets asking for a trade in program for its existing customers.
They didn’t say how much your old iPhone 3G or 3GS is valued but we guess they might need to evaluate your iPhone before giving it a price. Plus, no mention if it accepts grey import or iPhones from other operators. If you’re interested, this is worth a try at the Gardens.
Another update is that Maxis is waiving the RM50 fee for contract extensions. This looks like a last minute attack plan against DiGi’s launch.

Maxis remove iPhone 4 plans. Price subject to change?

(Update: 23092010 16:30hrs): Maxis puts back link for Rate Plans on iPhone 4 page.
In a surprise move, Maxis has removed its iPhone plans and pricing from its website.
Is Maxis adjusting its iPhone 4 plans to counter a better offer from DiGi? With still 2 days to launch, anything is possible. However we felt that Maxis is getting a little fickle minded these days with its show and disappear act on the iPhone 4.
Pricing is obviously sensitive information and if they are not confident of launching it first, revealing them officially days before the launch would definitely catch its competitors attention. Some are speculating that DiGi could beat Maxis to the launch by several hours. Maxis could be waiting to see DiGi’s offer first before they reveal their actual launch plans.
So would the iPhone 4 be cheaper than its earlier published price? It is possible but we’re not expecting them to reduce the iPhone price any further. Perhaps more calls and data quota for their iValue Plans?
You can still view the Maxis iPhone 4 plans here.

We’ll be there: Maxis “invitation only” iPhone 4 launch

We’ll be at the Maxis “invitation only” iPhone 4 launch happening late night 23 September to time the release of the iPhone 4 at the stroke of midnight 24 September effectively making Maxis Malaysia’s first telco to launch the iPhone 4 ahead of DiGi.
We’ll be providing you with the latest updates from the launch event via Twitter. So if you’re not already following us, please do. If you already are, thanks for the support.
Also, do comment us if you have questions of things that you would specifically like to know about the iPhone 4 offers from Maxis. If you have questions you want to ask the reps there, we’ll be more than happy to ask them for you. FYI, Sandip Das Jean-Pascal van Overbeke and a few C-levels from Maxis will be attending.
Frankly speaking we’re very excited to see what Maxis has in store for the launch. Granted, most of the details are out already but we have a feeling that Maxis is saving something special for the event. It’s only a hunch and we could be wrong but we’ll see how it goes.
Maxis iPhone plans: old versus new

(Update 21092010) There’s a misprint on the RRP price for the 32GB iPhone 4. It’s actually RM2,690 NOT RM2,490. How silly of us and we’re sorry for the confusion. We’ll update the tables in a bit. Thanks to commenter Berlinwall for pointing it out.
The big news this week is the iPhone 4 launch in Malaysia. It’s a close race between DiGi and Maxis on who will launch it first and what kind of plans will be on the table.
Looks like Maxis has released the first salvo with full details on their iPhone 4 plans and it is confirmed that they will be launching the new iPhone on Friday, 24 September 2010.
In an unprecedented move DiGi will also be launching the iPhone 4 on the same day but DiGi has been very quiet on what kind of plans that they will be offering to counter what Maxis has put out. We’re expecting DiGi to pull something big out of their hats, but it’s not going to be much different from the plans that Maxis has. The main differentiator will be the value added stuff and rebates that both telcos are willing to fork out. The question is how much money is Maxis and DiGi willing to pay in terms of cost-per-customer to win subscribers?
In the meantime let’s take a close look at the new iPhone plans from Maxis and compare them with the old iPhone plans to see if what’s on offer is really good value for money.
