23 days to go..... hmmmmm come to think of it, it would be great, enuff time for us to save up!!!!! heeeeeee

U meant during launch day?? Yeah most probably they will offer the postpaid users first.

That could be a major b*tch!!! (sending back to OZ for any repair / claims)

Apple HongKong store just posted up the pricing:

8GB - $HK4488 / RM2069
16GB - $HK5388 / RM2483
32GB - $HK6288 / RM2898

*conversion rate of $HK2.17 = RM1

iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier. Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS and connect to

Let's hope Maxis sets are around the same pricing..... pray!!!!

Tot 8Gb 3G is gonna stay right?

Apple in US is selling them at $99 while 16GB 3GS is at $199.... So I assumed that the 8GB is gonna be around for at least the nex 6mths. They can't maintain the 16GB 3G as it will directly compete with the i3GS model....

Maxis has just updated their website saying that the preregistration closes by end of 14th July 2009 (today).... So to those who haven't may do so.

@tink,

I don't think Maxis is works like Singtel. Singtel actually allows user to pre-order and will charge $50 for that while Maxis merely wants to know interested buyers to register but I do have a feeling they will give priorities to those that are registered. Just my hunch... Anyway it's best to register now rather be sorry later.

Don't worry, they can't coz they oso open to DiGi, Celcom users as well.... like u said, it has to be mentioned and a "click" for us to allow Maxis to deduct fees, if any.

@Dozz

That's for i3G and we'll know about in less than 12 hrs eh...

Btw, we may register our interests on i3GS at Machines website too (click here), just like Maxis's .... the difference? You may choose which Machines outlet to get it, perhaps an indication outright purchases??? Like I said, we'll know it by noon....

Cheerios

Ok, registered online this afternoon aroud 1pm but no email received. Went to Maxis centre (without Maxis simcard), they say has to wait for the email / sms. Went home to get sim card, got sms but still no email. Went back to Maxis Centre, paid RM200 deposit via booking ref. no. Bought another prepaid pack and try to register online but failed. Maxis centre accepted RM200 deposit w/o online register.

So I booked 16GB Black & White units. Now 16 days to wait till collection day. Hopefully no many Q then..... cheerios..

P/s: After 2 hrs up and down, came back to office still no confirmation email.

The email seems to take 4ever.... I'd reserved this afternoon ard 1pm but till now, no email.... but there's a SMS from them and Maxis centre can accept booking with the ref no sent via sms.

Ok guys, this happens to me (to those prepaid users)

Bought a new prepaid pack at Maxis centre and the staff tried to register online but failed. But still they accepted my RM200 deposit. Later on, one of the staff called me asking for a pin no that supposed to be SMS but "ilek".

I've tried to register online but I couldn't advance to stage 4n5. So I changed email add and played with some of the clickable options. one of it asking u whether u wanna upgrade ur prepaid to postpaid. I clicked yes and I managed to get on the final steps.

Hope this helps!

@tink,

Inside info, Apple will subsidize all resellers if there's a price drop in products! As for 16GB, Apple will absorb back (this is my guess).
