ipod or iphone
hmm.. currently i'm still calculating whether to get myself an iPod Touch or iPhone 3G.. *sigh* price factor is one of the criteria.. someone offered (Sept 08) iPod Touch 8Gb @ RM800+, 16Gb @ RM1100+ and 32Gb @ RM1500+.. that's really cheap compared to the one the authorized resellers currently selling (RM1399, RM1799, RM1999).. and the iPhone 3G currently selling @ RM2700+ (8Gb) and RM3100+ (16Gb).. that's the AP version as iPhone didnt manage to spread their wings in Malaysia..
rumors says that MAYBE Maxis or Digi is thinking of bringing iPhone legally to Malaysia.. but as i said rumors, i still cant see Malaysian flag at the Apple iPhone's site for the 'coming soon' section.. heh..
this means if i get myself an iPhone, i cant do anything for a warranty.. but the iPod Touch is legally selling here in Malaysia, so there's no problems.. i could afford the Apple Care plan for the iPod Touch which is currently @ Rm219 (think so) for 2 years warranty..
for the feature comparison, iPod Touch has all the music and movie features.. including wireless LAN.. but a setback for me is it didnt have Bluetooth..!! damn.. no A2DP for me.. *sigh* and for iPhone, it has all the features the iPod has to offer, plus phone features, GPS and Bluetooth..!! hmm..
to make it worse, my current phone (Dopod D810) which i bought last year (Aug 07) @ RM2799, is currently tagged @ RM 700 - RM900 for second hand value.. *sigh again* as i said before, i should have not trust HTC.. no updates (Windows Mobile 6.1) for my model, the customer service sucks (ignore my inquiries @ Low Yatt Plaza), low second hand value..
i think that if i get myself an iPhone right now @ RM3k+, and then suddenly Maxis or Digi announce that they are bringing iPhone to Malaysia for less than RM1.5k, it would just kill me.. hmm.. i can stand their contract plan for two years as i have been using Maxis for more than 5 years (postpaid)..
another funny thing is that one of the local newspaper ask Maxis top guns whether they are bringing iPhone to Malaysia back in July 08, and the Maxis man said that they arent thinking of it, as (according to him) Apple didnt have plan to bring the phone to Asia.. lol.. ARE U STUPID..?? even Singapore have gotten the right to sell iPhone.. or maybe he thinks Singapore is not part of Asia..
if i can be a consultant to Maxis, i have lots of ideas for them to make lots of money.. i have thought of how Maxis can make an easy money from Malaysians.. but dunno why, their marketing team could not think at all.. all they have thought is sending spam to their customers, selling ringtones by SMS, sponsors major events but didnt make any profit out of the event (which they can make millions from it).. *sigh* even the iPhone can help Ananda Krishnan bought another cruise boat.. heh.. hey Maxis (or any other service providers)..!! do you guys want my ideas..?? but u guys need to pay me lor.. hehe..
maybe i can just wait for a while and buy myself iPod Touch for the mean time.. hmm..
my thoughts is tormenting me..
