Maxis Launches iPhone 4 iData & iValue Plans

It seems that the race for who will get the bigger share of the new iPhone 4 in Malaysia is heating up with Maxis releasing their iValue and iData plans for the iPhone 4 well ahead of their sole rival, Digi. I believe that Maxis aims to capitalize on those who are impatient in getting Apple's well promoted smart phone, hence leaving DiGi to the customers which are more patient in comparing Maxis and Digi iPhone 4 plans.

According to a release over their official Facebook Page, the iPhone 4 will be available starting 24th September 2010 in the Kland Valley, and nationwide on the 25th September 2010.  Maxis also made a courages move in introducing their iValue and iData plans for the iPhone 4, which will give Digi a direct advantage to lower their prices.

Below are the iData plan list of the iPhone 4 by Maxis (click to enlarge):

This is followed by the iValue plan, also for the iPhone 4 by Maxis below (click to enlarge):

Although both the iData and iValue plans do seem similar to the previous Maxis iPhone 3GS plans, but these plans are notably more flexible, which I believe to be Maxis's way to curb DiGi's lower price on their plans.  Nonetheless, with DiGi soon to release their iPhone 4 plan, it would be very interesting to see which would eventually win the customers over.  It is also interesting to note that Maxis has introduced a contract upgrade option for existing users which will enable them to extend their contract and get the iPhone.
