Yeap agree with you that Maxis is pushing us all for the 3GS. It's quite amazing that until now they are still the only tel-co who manage to get iPhone though.
I thought this time around the price is pretty reasonable. Just booked mine. iPhone 3GS 32gb Black to be collected on the 31st of July. Waiting for confirmation mail but already receive SMS. |

QUOTE(johnliew @ Jul 15 2009, 02:56 PM) Update guys: for those of you who opted to collect at Machines @ 1 Utama, it's not possible to place your RM200 deposit yet, coz Maxis never informed Machines on the iPhone3GS launch and even the branch manager don't know what to do OMG I booked mine there. Hopefully by the 31st we would get a clarification on this. Guess I have to wait until they sort this out. Either that, or go straight to a Maxis owned (not licensed) outlet... |

QUOTE(johnliew @ Jul 15 2009, 04:00 PM) But you you plan to pay your RM200 booking fee? The latest you have is 5 days from now... According to the FAQ: Yeap it is five days from now which mean I will need to pay mine by the 20th as stated in the SMS.2) When should I pay? Do you accept credit card/cash/cheque? Please make your payment within five (5) days from your booking submission date or by 24th July 2009, whichever is earlier. We only accept cash or credit card. |

QUOTE(Mr Kong @ Jul 15 2009, 04:58 PM) @bluesky87 Hopefully it works like that. Would appreciate if anyone can clarify on this. Would prefer to pay by card for safety purpose.From my point of view i dont think so the extra charges will be charged towards maxis not towards consumers..I THINK |

I've click on the resend validation email on Maxis page but still haven't receive any confirmation email yet. So far only SMS. I guess we'll have to wait till tomorrow and see how it goes.

On my side I think this would definitely be the best time to get the iPhone well at least you are paying for most of the function that it should have previously say if you are not a gadget freak I'm pretty certain that the 3GS will last you for at least 2 to 3 years.

Double post zeropulse.
Well like I mention unless you want to chase the technology depending on individual. Just like computer, I am still comfortable with my Core 2 Duo  I wouldn't say the 3GS have the best spec but at least it is up to standard and worth an investment. |

QUOTE(johnliew @ Jul 16 2009, 11:53 PM) Yup, I called Chris of Machines@1U and they said it's sorted out, ready to take our RM200 liao Cool I'll be going tomorrow morning too. Me going tml.QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 17 2009, 09:32 AM) @xenohawk, Okay, sorry for being noob. I assume that WiFi is faster than 3G and 3G is faster than EDGE? Correct? Yes it works - it's been trialed and tested. However, DiGi doesn't currently provide 3G speed, just EDGE.  QUOTE(cransdelta @ Jul 17 2009, 11:28 AM) Anyone here already received the email from maxis?? I didnt received the notification just the sms. I went to Machines Store at KLCC and they said need the email when i go n collect the phone. Not sure will get the email or not. A few other forumer and myself had already received the email from Maxis. When did you book yours? |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 17 2009, 12:12 PM) @bluesky87, Yeap I understand that was just wondering which is faster and if WiFi is everywhere then why is EDGE and 3G is necessary?If Ur connected to Wifi U don't really need the data services from the telco  |

QUOTE(johnliew @ Jul 17 2009, 04:02 PM) I just paid my RM200 at Machines @ 1U. Got some bad news for you folks. According to Kean (or Kin?), they can no longer guarantee whether there will be enough iPhone for everyone who paid RM200, since the demand is too high. According to him, 1U branch alone has about 70 booking (as of lunch today) and response on all the other Machine branches have been overwhelming too. I asked him if I camp outside Machines@1U during 31st, would it help? He said, might not help at all, because they might follow the booking order - i.e. order of who paid the RM200 first with them. So my advise of now is to shy away from Machines and go to true blue Maxis Centers to book yours (e.g. Maxis TTDI, Maxis KLCC), IMHO. I will be very disappointed if the system goes that way. It means money is their concern. I think it would be more fair if the queue is run by serial number. Whether you pay first or not, as long as you book first then you are in the queue. Guess we will never know how it goes until the 31st sigh  |

Just came back from MACHINES@1U. Paid my RM200 deposit cash and receive an official receipt. Did not bother to ask much but everything went well which cost less than 10 minutes.
What I do is just past him my email print out and fill in a form that he gave. If you guys are wondering why choose MACHINES, I can give you two good reason. First of all you are entitle to be a member of MACHINES for free just because you buy the iPhone from them. Secondly you will get RM20 voucher upon purchasing. Wow no harm at all more over they have bunch of accessories and other Apple product. |

QUOTE(sysh @ Jul 22 2009, 12:01 AM) Zeph, you also booked the iPhone 3G S? Yes Scott. Remember I mention to you in Facebook? Not sure what's the best way to estimate the usage. Like a car's FC, I'm gonna go on an average usage rate for a couple months and see whether I've over / under used the data..  IMO it would be very good and convenient if Maxis is able to provide a system to check our usage as simple as checking our prepaid credit left. |

All you need to do is just to request for the configuration and install it just like how we do in normal hand phone.

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 27 2009, 05:36 PM) @zad78, Hey tinkerbel in that case we will be collecting on the same day same time so probably we could meet up or something as LYN member I onli put in my online booking this afternoon and I chose to pick it up from Machines, 1Utama, 10-2PM. Maxis KLCC is however full till 2nd August if I ain't mistaken. QUOTE(Cainz @ Jul 27 2009, 07:04 PM) I haven't place down my deposit yet. IMO even if Maxis is going to release some other plan, it wouldn't happen in a short period as this action may cause a huge unsatisfactory among those who just bought the phone.Today is the last day and I've been hearing rumors that Maxis going to release new upgrade plans for existing user when coming near to the launch date. Sigh, I'm still contemplating at the moment. Wait or not to wait for the new plans, that is the question now.... |
