You would have to wait after the booking period is over, which is one week after 31st July (I think). Even after that, it would heavily depend on the stock availability. As an reference, after the iPhone 3G launch, there was a stock vacuum for about 2 weeks. And since this time around, it's worldwide launch, and there are LOTs more interest for the 3GS than the 3G, who knows how long need to wait for new stock..

no u cant....the rm200 deposit, is for the booking of the iphone so the particular maxis centre will get the number of 16/32gb, white/black ordered by customers....u cant chg it...try calling up maxis, and ask for a change, and not on that day itself

Well...i booked my iphone today too. The maxis representative from Maxis center told me that i am able to change to another color on the pickup date if i had changed my mine.

i just call maxis, she said cannot change, but you can try at maxis center. will try tomorrow

u better make sure, AFAIK i was told you cant, and also I believe it's stated in the FAQS. I recall reading it somewhere =)

but i haven pay any deposit yet, or i can wait my booking expire then re-booking again?

yea, otherwise why do u think everyone is rushing to get their hands on this baby. Because there might be a shortage after the launch. I'm not surprised you'll see some stock on ebay selling up to RM4k.

Anyone else certain about this?

I just called Maxis call centre and they told me I can't change my plan anymore besides upgrading the plan.

Initially I registered for iValue1 but wanted to change it to prepaid after further consideration.

28th? Where did you read that? According to FAQ:

1) When can I collect the iPhone 3G S?
Your iPhone 3G S can be collected on 31st July 2009 from the designated
Maxis centre or MEP outlet which you have paid the deposit to.

if 28/7 is the launch date,what if we have make the booking on 31/7? all will be change ka?

For all your information, 28th is the launching date for i3gs, and 31st is the collection date...launching and collection is both diff thing...

I never read that, it's the maxis centre rep that told me so, cause she is involved in the road show for the launching, but god knows where is the launching, cos i nv bother asking =)

Are you sure on this? Then what is the point paying the deposit for the booking?

You do get a receipt after you paid for the deposit, right? If they didn't check the email/booking number, how do they issue the receipt?

im 100% sure they do not care bout the booking. afta collecting my 200bucks, they asked me to specify which model n color with my IC number and tel num. they receipt jus shows general info like amount of deposit n phone model n color. nothin regardin date of collection. i tink they jus collectin d cash, den wen the stock arrives, they will call customers based on 1st come 1st serve bookin deposits. she even said if no stock haf to wait til end of aug. i was like wtf. payin deposit but not sure wil get the fone o not. dats y its better to go maxis centre. atleast they're more in control.

The email/booking number is quite pointless. The only reason they do this is to avoid long queue at Maxis centre/machines during registration. As for my case, I booked to collect from Machines but later on I changed my mind and I walked straight in to Maxis centre and register there, with no email/booking number whatsoever. As for my email booking to collect from Maxis, it will be void after 5 days, so who cares...

i went to pay for the booking fee today and was asked to sign this pre-booking terms and condition letter. I am buying it outright on prepaid plan but the terms doesnt mention that at all. Infact it says i must sign up a 12 or 24 months contract .
I signed it anyway. Maxis better not try to stick me

Anyone can further clarify this? (Maybe got a friend working as CS or anything)

Cause according to the FAQ:

Your booking details (collection date/location/plan/model/colour/etc) will be in your email. You are suppose to bring a printout of that email together with your booking slip on that day to get ur iPhones.

i dun think the initial booking details you printed out before paying the RM200 deposit are important. It is the receipt after you have paid RM200 that is important. Your receipt should have the model you want as well as the plan and confirmation of the payment. Those details are good enough for you to collect the iphone on 31st.

but wats in my mind is y all d hassle of producin booking numbers when infact, the maxis resellers dun really need dem. if they dun gimme the iphone on d speculated date, im gonna create a fuss and collect my deposit lar haha.. see if we can buy one on dat day via direct full payment in maxis centres.
