hmmm funny... i just went to maxis klcc center to pay my deposit. recieved both sms and email (sent more than 24hrs later). i went with prepaid option. but i did not buy any prepaid pack yet. they did not ask me to buy any. i thought the prepaid option means that i will be getting a new sim with a new prepaid number?

hi tinkerbel,

my friend actually booked a set online ealier (before the 24th) and chose to collect it at Machines 1U. both of us went to the shop to pay the deposit on the 25th (Saturday) only to be warned by the cashier that the 1st batch iphone pre-booking deposit payment period ended yesterday (24th) and my friend's booking will be considered the second batch of pre-booking. so if is perfectly up to my friend whether he wishes to pay or not, but the cashier says they cannot guarantee when will he be getting the set (and most probably not on the 31st since that is considered the first batch of orders).

so i'm a bit confused with the booking that you made today. did maxis changed anything in terms of the deadline for the payment of 1st batch orders or?

thanks.

oh ok. thanks a lot for the info! will tell my friend about it. he is also leaving town by mid of august. hence the reason why he will not be paying if the phone does not arrive by then. cheers.

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)

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

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.

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

yo bro, my advice is do not put any protection on it just yet. give it a good 7 days try to see if there is any hardware defect on the phone. just to be on the safer side.

sent my set in as of this morning. their system is down at the moment. sigh... talk about luck!

anyways, the set is with the CS guy and he will inform me first thing when he manages to log in the service request. i pressed for an answer whether can i get a replacement later, but he also cannot guarantee that as the request has not been logged it yet and is pending for confirmation from the vendor side

still praying hard... hopefully he will call me soon...
