If exchange rate is a factor, then the NZ set would be cheaper at NZD979 for 16gb at RM2.4 current rate = RM2350 as compared to RM2490 w/o contrat for Maxis set. A difference of RM140 is not much when you take warranty in mind. I will be getting a MAxis set myself. Used to own 2 sets of NZ iphone 3G.

I'm also waiting, no iphone now sold off my 3G black 8gb a few nites back so hoping I can get one tomorrow. I'll be at MAxis centre at 9.00am tomorrow. But if not getting any tomorrow, what to do, cry till blood come out also no iphone. Patient is virtue, Sabar itu separuh daripada iman.

Just got my white 16gb 3g-s from Kuching Maxis. No 32gb available though. Saw one fuming customer and I can tell you Maxis centre staff this morning kelam kabut betul, a lot of issues. First say I cannot buy prepaid coz I booked online using my postpaid maxis no, then can and macam2 lagi. End up I got my iphone and a nice iphone 3g -s roundneck black t-shirt for my troubles. Haha

So far not heard any problem of collection at Maxis centre, except no 32gb only scheduled to arrive on 5/8/09
