How positively sure are you that there are tonnes of 32GB 3Gs in Maxis store rooms?

Why do you say so? is it based on the reason 32GB more expensive and not many ppl opt for it or you have any reliable news on that? Anyway i book 32GB and is waiting for it...

he just say maybe..... not say there is prove he say maybe

hey what do u mean by **Outright purchase not available until further notice.. means maxis not selling to the prepaid customer anymore"?

by right, prepaid plan temp on hold.. but some MEP allow prepaid purchase

sure no problem. will go tmr after college.


when i went and book the told me that 16gb need to wait around 30-45 days. as for 32gb i might get it in 3 weeks fastest.. cos not many ppl go for 32gb

Has it ever occur to anyone that Maxis could be creating an artificial shortage of 3GS so that some people would just opt for a 3G instead. This could be one way of clearing their old stocks.

Bcos, you could purchase 3G at RM1990 with a prepaid plan. Immediate stock. No waiting list.

Just my observation.

there is a posibility but i dont think they will? cos........hmm this is y i think. if they have plenty of stocl of iphone 3gs. then what happen when the new iphone come out? hmmm....

because "I" think like this. Apple is being presure by Microsoft Zune HD release. So Apple will need to go up 1 notch and also WWDC 2010 is on Febuary. So I dont think they will make it a shortage and thx to that long waiting I may wait 4 the next iphone. Im +ve it will be a great boost compare to iphone 3GS? I dont know that my thinking. Any thoughts?

32GB are in stocks? Deposited on Sept 11th.

no such way....
practically....Apple is still much driven by AT&T as a phone....
if they wanna add in more, they first need to make sure AT&T can cope....
so there might be no major update for iphone on next WWDC, but next next one mayb
especially current 1 jz out for......even less than 6months...now
2nd vga camera? mayb, but not until AT&T can provide the bandwidth
4G? same too...

remember...Malaysia jz a part of the big cake, US still the bigger 1....
also...u r comparing a media player with a phone....y Apple bother tat..

I was at 1 Utama yesterday and I decided to check with the Machines branch there. One of the guys on duty there told us that apparently all Machines canceled booking of the 3GS roughly about 2 weeks after the phone's launching date. This was due to the fact that they were unable to fulfill the requests of their customers who booked from them. He isn't entirely sure when will they sell it again, as in Malaysia it is Maxis that controls the sales. I asked if I should just ask for a refund, and he said that it's recommended, although we could still wait. My dad said that if I am still phone-less (Yes, my phone died roughly 3 months back) by December, he will purchase it outright from Singapore. I hope that some of us who booked around early August like me will get theirs soon and not get entrenched in a situation like mine.

32gb stock available in Machines MV

How'd you know that? o.o

can anyone verify that Maxis QB Mall has 32GB in stock as well?

Maybe shortage due to this http://www.maxis.com.my/mmc/index.asp?fuse....view&recID=397

quite true.... but dint u hear AT&T contracts end next year and rumour have been going on about Verizon(dont know how to spell it) so there is a high posibility that there is a refresh next year.

onli thing i can see now is a possible capacity update 16/32 -> 32/64GB

US market pick-up is too slow....don really think major update at early 2010 is possible
late 2010 or early 2011 more likely....may b iPhone 4G

Hey guys, been busy with my IPhone(messing around with Cydia and such) but here's my collection date and info.


Model : Iphone 3gs 16GB White
Location : Maxis Center Gardens
Date Ordered : 13th September
Date Collected: 3rd October

What happened :



In conclusion, I find that the Hotline could actually help you if they choose to. I think some of the people here might have had bad experience with them due to circumstances that they could not control(unresponsive Maxis centers) or customers just call them with guns ablazing and yelling. So please be polite to them, since from what I gathered, they themselves don't have all the information and they have to call the Maxis center to help you(and even then, sometimes they can't get through). State your case to them (if it is reasonable), and just be polite, if they had genuinely tried their best to help you, please don't make life difficult for them.

I hope my information helps you guys to get your IPhone earlier, or at the very least, ontime.



Also, I'd recommend everybody to go to Machines at Gardens, by far, the best and most friendly and helpful customer service I've encountered in any other Machines shop( was there shopping for accessories after I got my IPhone). I'd stay away from the old wing BU one though, as they have this very arrogant "big" guy at that store who talks like he owns the freaking store.

Yesterday i went to maxis center that indian guy say at least 1 month only can get it..
