I collected my 3GS 32GB White yesterday and made this post from Machines Lot 10 but some facts were inaccurate.

Now at Machines Lot 10 picking up my 32GB 3GS White. I was told this morning, I wasn't going to get one today but at 5pm, the store called and they had a unit for me. So here I am at Lot 10. Just jailbroke it & restored my data and waiting for the Maxis contract to be ready. 30 mins already. Seems to be a prob with the Maxis registration system.
Apparently I'm only 1 of 10 persons picking up an iPhone here. I think this is due to the fact that Machines Lot 10 was never an option in the Maxis Online Booking form. I booked my unit on the 23rd directly with Machines Lot 10 with RM200 deposit. Didn't use the online booking. I was starting to regret it when I was told yesterday & this morning that chances of getting one today were slim but am quite happy now. Thanks to Vincent of Machines Lot 10.
I tried to book with Maxis Online Booking on the 15th but Machines Lot 10 wasn't available as a collection point (and still isn't) so I went to Lot 10 personally the next day. Machines Lot 10 said that I didn't have to pay a deposit. Booked a White 32GB.
On the 23rd, Machines Lot 10 called up and requested that I place a deposit of RM200 to ensure that I'll be allocated a unit. Went there the same day to make payment.
After reading about possible delays here, I called on the 30th and was told that shipment would be delayed. On the morning of the 31st, Machines Lot 10 called to inform me that they will not be getting any shipment that day. Quite disappointed since others were successful in getting their iPhones from Maxis Centers.
Surprisingly at 5pm, I received a call from Machines Lot 10 that stocks were in. I went there immediately to pick it up. I was the only person collecting the iPhone there. I was there for about 2 hours, restoring data, jailbreaking the iPhone and saw no one else coming in to collect iPhones. Apparently they only had 2 bookings for 32GB, one of which is mine. They didn't say anything about the 16GB.
After all that was done, I went to Epicentre & Maxis Pavilion to see if I can buy a 16GB for my wife. Expectedly neither stores had any units for walk-in customers.
So that's the story of my iPhone 3GS 32GB. A bit panic & disappointed but all turned out well in the end.
