PETALING JAYA: DiGi.Com Bhd and Maxis Bhd will begin selling iPhone 4 from today, with DiGi.Com expecting encouraging iPhone 4 sales based on the 30,000 inquiries received prior to its launch in Malaysia.
“We are thrilled to bring iPhone 4 to our customers where Malaysians are fast becoming regular users of mobile Internet,” said DiGi head of marketing Albern Murty.
“Now, with the phone already available in the market, we expect to see strong uptrend,” told reporters after the launching of iPhone 4 monthly commitment packages yesterday.

“All the buzz of the iPhone 4 on many social media sites may also help to promote it,” Murty added.
In a separate event early this morning, Maxis held a grand ceremony to launch the much anticipated iPhone 4 at midnight.
Maxis chief operating officer Jean-Pascal van Overbeke said the company strove to bring the latest technology to its customers.

“Over the past 12 months, Maxis has more than doubled the data-carrying capacity of its mobile network, ensuring a truly optimised iPhone 4 experience with better speed and coverage.”
To date, mobile Internet users registered with DiGi stands at 2.8 millions.
On the iPhone 4 antenna-attenuation issue, Murty said Apple had addressed the problem and DiGi did not expect it to dampen the demand of the phones.
The newly launched iconic phone from Apple Inc features FaceTime for video calling and new retina display – the highest resolution display ever built into a phone – resulting in super crisp text, images and video.
The iPhone 4 also features a five-megapixel camera with LED flash, high-definition video recording and up to 40% longer talk time.
It also comes with iOS 4, the newest version of Apple’s mobile operating system.
