i collected my 32GB white set from Maxis KLCC center this morning reached about 8:50am. was the 3rd person to collect the sets today if i am not mistaken whole ordeal took around 30 mins for waiting time (before my number was called), then another 30 mins for the processing and collection of set. so there is 32GB sets available, but only for specific Maxis centers i believe. surprisingly there was not many people queuing up this morning at Maxis KLCC center

for the rest of you guys who has booked your sets, i wish you luck and hopefully you guys will be able to get your sets in the fastest possible manner. cheers.

a piece of advise, please ensure you bring all the documents required to speed-up the collection process:

1) deposit receipt (MUST!!!)
2) identity card (MUST!!!)
2) booking confirmation email printout (if possible)

to those who has already taken their 3gs, do you have the yellowish screen prob? mine is from factory 87, and the yellowish is observable as compared to my itouch...

i checked that on my display as soon as i plugged my SIM card into the phone for activation. seems OK to me. i am not having any visible sign of the yellowish tint as per what i have seen from some of the links that was posted earlier in this thread. so i guess mine is good. i hope it stays that way

is the yellowish really a bad defect?

they said that eveerything looks a bit not nice....

warmer.......and white is not white anymore.....care to explain.....i'm afraid that i'll regret even getting the iphone

quick update:

just called up machine one utama, asked for my 32GB White.

they said by the end of today, only 16GB will arrive for them.

there is still no news on when they can get the 32GB. they have asked maxis but no answers were given to them as well.

@johnliew
does maxis klcc have 32GB for customer who booked from other APR like machines? have you got yours?

not really a bad defect, i can still live with it. to those who wants perfection might not think so



there u go, left 1 is 3gs, right is my ipod touch 2g. don have other iphone to compare at the moment

I'm not sure of your case but I recall that the yellowish effect is called 'warmer' by the apple, they claim that this color setting would be more easy on your eye, this only obvious if you compare the previous version side by side.

for my case, it was wrapped up. then the staff asked for my permission to open it up in front of me to show me what is inside and asked me to insert my SIM card for activation.

if purchase via Hotlink aka prepaid does they need to activate...?? what are they activate..the SIM Card already activate....

i got mine from maxis sunway p. 32gb black. initially when i read the thread, a surge of panic went through my head as i thought there's no stock for the 32gb version. called maxis & they confirmed that mine was ready & waiting. fuih

and it seems like most people that booked 32gb from sunway p. got their iphones. maybe not all but at least the people that booked early.

nothing much. just need to make sure your line is active. then they key in your details into their system. within 1hr or so, i received a sms confirming that i am eligible for 500mb free data every month and will expire is 12 months time

i nv got any sms confirming that i'm getting the 500mb free every month

Just back from Gardens, no stock at Machine yet even on the promotion area it is only for pre-booking only. It seems that they stop taking pre-booking for the hotlink plan due to stock constraint.

I also took a look at the display unit on the promotion area, the yellowish tint looks almost the same as in my 3G.

Thanks for clarifying. Do I need to go to Maxis Store and ask them to sign em up for Youth plan?

quick update all. i booked and paid deposit at Machines 1U but they still no stock. i gave up and went to KLCC and they said my deposit can be transferred here! 3 more person then iphone3GS! hopefully.

dear all, sorry for the false alarm. they did not issue me an iphone. it was the consultant's fault for over promising. back to waiting for "the call".

I went to garden to check whether can tranfer or not? And the felle told me cannot.... Summore I talk to the organize from maxis and complaint about the 32gb no stock... He seem like shock ( dunno he drama or what) then he call the sales head to check what is happening, he took all my detail and pre-book #and SMS out to sales team... Seem like drama but still have to wait....

@D.Sync:
AFAIK, it can be done by calling Hotlink CS.

just purchase the Youth Club Sim pack and off u go...

I just called up the MEP centre at Giant Kota Damansara and they mentioned that the earliest possible date that they will receive their stock would be on Monday. I had the same experience as you did - called them up yesterday to check on when I can pick it up, they kept on forwarding my call to different people before I finally ended up with one of their management staff who informed me that I can get it today (Friday 31/7). After I told them that one of their managers said that I would be able to get my set on Friday evening at the earliest and Saturday morning at the latest, she kept on insisting that the earliest that the customers who pre-ordered would be able to get their units would be on Monday.

I don't mind waiting to get the iPhone but all the shuffling around and the different stories I get from each person I speak to is more than frustrating. Just wish that they could give me a straight answer instead of passing the buck off to someone else.
