If you’ve registered your interest with DiGi for the iPhone 4, you should have gotten a little teaser email this evening. DiGi says that the iPhone 4 is here and it will be available next week, making it anywhere between 19th-25th of September. Maxis is believed to be launching next week as well. Who will launch first? We will find out next week. This is it people, the iPhone 4 here in Malaysia next week!
Don’t forget to claim your free bumper from Apple as the case program ends 30th September.
Maxis reveals 8GB iPhone 3GS prices

Maxis officially revealed pricing of iPhone 3GS 8GB which is exactly the same as the leaked figures.
As expected, the price for the new 8GB iPhone 3GS is similar to the old iPhone 3G price of the same capacity at the time the iPhone 3GS was introduced back in 2009.
With the entry-level 8GB 3GS introduced, it looks like the iPhone 4 is not far away from being launched in Malaysia. We may be off in our predictions on when the iPhone 4 will be launched but in terms of pricing you can expect it to be roughly if not exactly the same as the iPhone 3GS when it first came into the market here.
Also in terms of plans, we don’t expect much to change from the previous iPhone offerings. But if you recall, DiGi was the first to open registration of interest of the iPhone 4 on its website back in July 2010. So with the added competition from DiGi — who may or may not release the iPhone 4 earlier than Maxis — we’re expecting some deal sweetening offers from both sides.
Although the price of the phones might not change much the two telcos may go out on a limb to offer rebates and value-add freebies to get you to sign-up with them.
It’s going to be interesting to watch.

More iPhone 4 predictions for Maxis and DiGi

UPDATE (20100920) : Maxis iPhone 4 plans for launch leaked. Read about it here.
UPDATE (20100917) : DiGi confirms iPhone 4 stock in Malaysia. To launch week of 20th September 2010. Read about it here.
Ok so the official word is out, DiGi and Maxis have opened registration of interest for the iPhone 4 but little else has been revealed.
We don’t know the pricing, we don’t know the plans and we don’t know when will the iPhone 4 be available in stores.
But we know the industry enough to be able to put out some predictions that’s pretty accurate. Earlier we predicted that pre-order, or more accurately, registration of interest (ROI), will happen after 19 July and it did.
Now that the ROIs are out, we can with some degree of accuracy predict when the in-store dates for the iPhone 4 will be. It will be roughly two weeks from today. If you count the exact days that puts the iPhone 4 launch on 3 August. But we’re going to go slightly conservative on our prediction put the iPhone 4 launch sometime within the week starting 2 August.
BREAKING: DiGi opens pre-order for iPhone 4

Well, well what do you know, DiGi silently with no fuss beat Maxis to the announcement.
Yes people, DiGi is the first telco in Malaysia to offer pre-orders registration of interest for the flawed iPhone 4.
It also turns out that our predictions on the pre-order date is correct but we got the telco completely wrong. We predicted earlier that Maxis will open pre-orders for the iPhone 4 sometime this week. It turns out DiGi quietly beat them to it.
No launch date has been released but if our predictions are true, Malaysians could be officially getting their iPhone 4s early in August. We wonder if DiGi’s move is actually a pre-emptive strike to defuse something that Maxis is planing to announce soon?
We still have a feeling that Maxis will announce something about the iPhone 4 soon.

(UPDATE 1929hrs 12072010) Maxis made the announcement and sorry guys, it’s not what you think. Still no word on when the iPhone 4 will be here.
Maxis via tweeter today indicated that the telco will be announcing something exciting today.
Naturally, many of you, including us, are wondering if this impending announcement will have anything to do with the iPhone 4 coming to Malaysia soon.
We don’t know. It could be an announcement about the iPhone 4 or it could very well not be. So we’ll have wait for the official word from Maxis.
We predicted that iPhone 4 pre-orders will be open on Maxis sometime around 19 July, could this tweet mean that they are opening the pre-orders earlier? Let’s wait and see.
But if the recent DiGi revision in its own iPhone packages and the recent spate of announcements from Maxis upper management is anything to go by, this announcement could be the one many are waiting for.
Watch this space.
iPhone 4 with Maxis: Pre-orders when?

We’ve pretty much correctly predicted when the iPhone 4 will be coming to Malaysia. Now we’ll look into our crystal ball to see roughly when Maxis will open pre-orders for the device.
In our earlier post we mentioned that the most likely date for a Malaysian iPhone 4 launch is August. We highlighted a few reasons why we think August will be the month, one of the main point is Maxis would want to do get the launch over and done with before Ramadhan kicks in – which will be roughly around the second week of August.
Ok, assuming the launch will be before Ramadhan (roughly around the first week of August), we can work backwards and roughly have a feel of when the pre-orders for the iPhone 4 will open. And judging by Maxis’ previous trends with pre-orders, you’re looking at probably a two-week buffer before the launch date.
This will give the PR and Marketing people in Maxis enough time to create buzz and run some PR stunts and God forbid, run another top 10 review program. Pre-order for the iPhone 4 won’t start more than two weeks before its launch as from our own experience starting pre-orders more than two weeks ahead of the actual launch date of any device will be challenging. PR and Marketing will have a difficult time maintaining the excitement.
