that is so tough of you stringfellow to resist the temptation. My friend just sign up to get the 3GS here in Perth today and probably getting his iPhone on the launch day this Friday. Hopefully I can kidnap his 3GS for a good deflowering session for 2-3 hrs hehehehe. It is nice of you to get your own 3GS soon. I think I'll be drooling for another 1-2 months before i can get mine lol.

OT:
Why every forum I go today all put spoiler on the Transformers movie. Need to stay away from forum as I only gonna watch it at 8 pm today. No Transformers spoiler!!!! lol

Beejive is working sporadically for me. Sometimes can log in, some times cannot. When I can, I asked Neekun to send me 3 messages to test out the push notification, but only the first of the three messages gets pushed. After that, when I try to login back into Beejive, I get auto logged out immediately. Have to press Home to reset everything and then tap Beejive again to relogin. Two failed attempts at logging in later, and now it seems a little more stable. Push notification is working at the moment, but it does not display the latest push message, only the last message pushed that is not read. Adoi!

And now my Maxis insider is spamming me with 3G[S] screenshots through MMS. WTF!

@stringfellow,
Er.. it's weird cause BeeJiveIM is working well on my unit. Ask Maxis insider to let U have the iPhone 3GS

LOL al3p, going with a different bunch of friends today for second round of that. And if you have read the spoiler about what happened to Optimus, it is TRUE! *cue suspenseful music*

I've been contemplating with either getting the Australian 3G[S] or other unlocked options, and what basically shot down my interest on the Aussie 3G[S] is the whole thing about getting the unlocks. That and coupled with the fact that I have to reluctantly let go of the plan I subscribe that iPhone with to strangers or someone I don't know that well, just turns me off. Personally, if I were to have to sign a contract, I'll wait out the pain and torture of waiting for Maxis 3G[S] and use the phone plan myself. It wont feel that painful, to me. No offense to anyone who feels differently, this is just my opinion.

@Tink

Steal the 3G[S]? There goes my insider!

As for the Beejive, it is working decently now. Only that I feel the push notification can be better, with pushing the latest message instead of the last message unread.

Tempting. Looks like at this moment, I would have to place my hope on Maxis. But I'm not putting all the eggs in the basket yet. Strange though. I guess the event at Plaza Sentral is meant for the general public, but not to the point of the whole general population. If not, they would've have put it in the papers

On Transformers 2

@stringfellow,
Er.. I thought it pushes the latest message through! hMm.......... looks like I got to check it out properly !

@Tink

It does push, just not the latest message. And relogging into Beejive also results in sporadic can/cannot logon error. I dare not try this on 3G, kalau Wifi also like this.

@allornothing

They are probably testing the market, seeing how the general public responds to this. They must have issued private invitations to this, and only the selected few knows. If it is made public or broadcasted as such, like I have said before, the furor and anger will be hard to contain.

On Transformers:

If its in plaza sentral, im sure d crowd wud check out the new ip3gs. so there isnt a point tryin to cover up dat event. neway Late June is stil a looong way more..urgh. maxis speeden up d process pls:(

@stringfellow,
Yes I'm getting that login error too but after reading davidmak's research on how the backend works I guess there's nothing much we can do about it - did it not use to be like that in the past?

U mean on ur iPhone, the messages that gets pushed to U keeps showing the 1st initial push message? On mine, it updates with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, etc; the difference is when I see the 2nd message, the 1st message won't be viewable (onli can view 1 screen at a time mah)

Damn.. I just got an invitation to go for a Maxis Mobile Advertising thingy at Sentral. I don't wanna go there and end up bumping into the iPhone 3GS Symposium

Beejive does not work like IM+. Beejive, in the past stores all your message, when you're not loggen on to teh app on your iPhone, and displays them when you log in back again. This is why it is the most preferred IM app compared to the others, because it FEELS seamless because you do not lose a single PM at al, it gets delivered to your account when you relogin back again. Now, with 3.0, Beejive attempts to eliminate that process of storing those messages by pushing it to you instead, using the Push Notification feature. IM+ however, all this while, have not had such a feature like Beejive, and only offers to send your unread PM by pushing it to a designated email address, and set that email to be pushed back to your email mailbox on your iPhone. To me, this method is not elegant and requires constant cleaning of your mailbox. Beejive works better with their keep-your-PM-till-you-log-in, and now if their Push Notification works, should be even better.

My Beejive is constantly giving me "cant connect to host" error now. So much for hoping for their best.

Added on June 24, 2009, 4:11 pmThe Product Symposium for the iPhone is happening now at Plaza Sentral. Just a heads-up for those who wants to see the 3G[S] in action.

I think thats where IM+ 3.1 is going to cover for the push notification. But I guess 3.0 is doing the conventional way.

@davidmak & stringfellow,
Since I've both I'll review the IM+ push when it's available. Then again, davidmak, U just installed it right?! Ur a better reviewer I'll just 'spam' after Ur review

Hmm.. how come I didn't get such news from my Maxis Insider *hmph*.. So what's this Symposium all about?!

You're not the only one with that problem. I'm having problems connecting to the host all the sudden. Could be some fault at the server side.

@xandman,
Er.. maybe they're doing some upgrades *shrugs* I'm logged on via Adium so don't know about BeeJiveIM. But I guess I'll have the same issues are U guys too

*Added*

I hope it's upgrading that they r doing and not something else...
bcoz now i m hooked on this beejive thingy...
hahahaha...

"Invalid Response Code 503"

Thanks a lot, Beejive!

I've tried deleting Beejive from my iPhone and re-downloading it from the AppStore inside the iPhone, and it spits out a message saying "The product you are downloading is no longer available". This may mean that Beejive is submitting a new version of its Beejive app, and hopefully end all this nonsense and silliness.

they are, mate

the reason, that i'm not moaning (as much) is because i'm following their official twitter and they do update it regularly.

straight from the horse's mouth and hence there is no need for speculation (or any purchase regrets *hint tinkerbel hint*)

thx for the comforting words bro...

So meaning they have pulled off this revision and has submitted a newer one. Lets hope the new one would be released soon.

Hahaha... despite the current letdown I still believe Beejive is a good app although I didn't purchased it. It was a money decision and I chose the more affordable alternative.
