Just got a call from Machines @ 1U as well. They have finally announced that they don't have stock from Maxis and no sign of the stock arriving today.

Therefore, conclusion is, don't bother going to 1U Machines until they call.

Rule of thumb: Always order directly from Maxis Center instead of MEP/APR. At least so far, they managed to confirm stock.

To me, I'll just wait until they have stock ... hopefully they don't swallow the deposit and forget about those folks. Not really Machines fault anyway ... no point screaming at the poor manager there since he can't do anything about it as well.

Actually ... I don't really get what you mean by the yellow tint. I don't see any difference in the units that you have posted.

Besides, having a yellowish tint doesn't really affect the unit in any way ... don't think it would cause much of a problem ... unless you are one of those fussy people that cannot stand a dead pixel on the LCD ...

Guys ... Machines @ 1Utama only has stock of the WHITE 16GB ... they don't even have the black version ...

Don't even talk about the 32 GB ... no news on that.

Just got back from 1 Utama with my friend who collected the FIRST 16GB WHITE iPhone from Machines 1U.

I ordered the Black one from there ... no chance to get it ... *ish ish*

Hi victor ...

Perhaps you can tell which Machines you are suppose to collect from? It would be easier to answer queries if you indicate which actual location/branch that you need to collect the iPhone ...

AFAIK:

Machines 1 Utama: only has 16GB WHITE stock on hand (the rest, no idea when shipment will arrive) - 32 GB .. definitely delayed ... they even posted a sign on the counter already

Machines MV: Apparently people have posted that they have collected their 16GB WHITE and BLACK

Machines Lot 10: Someone posted that 32 GB are available there (10 units --- IINM)

That's about all the info I have compiled from the last few posting in the forum.

Hi GriBBLez ... I don't really have any updates from JB Machines ... maybe you want to give them a call and ask if they have received any stock.

I have asked if any goods will be delivered over the weekend ... highly unlikely. So I suppose the latest the stock arrive will be Monday.

Hi guys, I'm wondering 1 issue. Do you think it is the strategy of Maxis to handle the processing for iPhone. The stock might have arrived all. And I've collected my iPhone 3Gs 32gb white. I'm thinking that will it be Maxis letting ppl who book 16gb take their iPhone first,because they are scare that if everone rush in to Maxis center,the whole building will as well collapse. So they let the 16gb ppl take first cz 16 gb got more ppl booking. When 16gb is halfly distribute finish,then they inform 32gb bookers to collect. Like my case,I went to maxis this morning and they say 32 gb haven't arrive,but when 1.30 pm,they call and say have already arrived. It's weird. Until now I still recieve the email saying changing the collection date to 5/8/2009. But I've collected today cz Miri is a small city,so is faster to finish distribute 16gb for today. Cz I remember I heard the maxis ppl in miri says that, the 16gb order for today is finish distributed. So after 16gb then is 32gb turn...

It is not logical to do this since it is a logistic nightmare to split the stock 16GB and 32GB (why pay for the shipment cost 2 times when you need to pay once for both to arrive). Furthermore, it doesn't explains the reason why Machines never receive stock of 16GB in certain locations as well.

Hi all,

As you guys noticed this thread has been rather quiet (comparatively), because I believe all the first batch pre-bookers have already received their 32GB iPhone3GSes, like me. I'm hope that the barrage of complaints that everyone here did to 123, Facebook complaints finally paid off.

As for me, I got a call at 12:30pm to tell me to schedule a pick up time, which I picked 3:30pm. By 4:45pm, I walked out of Machines @ 1U with my 32GB Black. Thanks Machines for prompt action and professional service! They had been up all night last night waiting for shipment to arrive and sort out the bookings. I was told Machines has to go to Maxis's warehouse and "hijack" the stock themselves, coz they sick and tired of waiting for Maxis to dispatch them. Then it was distributed overnight to all Machines outlets.

Another bravo to hard working, good spirited guys at Machines! notworthy.gif

Hey .. good to hear that you finally managed to get your new toy. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for the 16GB Black from Machines @ 1U, which seems to be in an unknown status as of now. Perhaps I will give them a call tomorrow to see if they have sorted it out as well or not.

Yet another day without the iPhone ... *sigh*

Sorry for a stupid question, can we register itune without paying? doh.gif
Yes you can. In fact, registering is free ... obviously .. you only need to pay once you buy applications from the store. When that comes, you will need to maintain your credit card information for your profile.

At least they did not lie to you. Follow story below.
Don't worry. At first I thought it was fishy too but ended up a not-so-frustrated-half-happy i3GS owner.

I call up MACHINES 1U this morning to check on my iPhone 32gb Black availability. They ask me to leave my name and contact number and they will call be back. Shortly after 15 minutes, they call me back and say your iPhone is ready to be collect, please come at around 3-4pm. I was so shocked and say okay then hang up.

Thinking back again, I thought it wasn't promising and I call up again to double check my detail, especially on phone specification. That guy say yes your phone is right here with me now don't worry. I asked if I could collect on the next morning, he say not guarantee if the phone will still be there.

Went to MACHINES 1U sharp at 3pm. Walk in without any receipt (forgot). Just go to the counter and give my name. iPhone was brought out, some computer data keying is done, hand me MACHINES member card + RM20 preloaded, and pass me the iPhone just like that. Total duration less than 10 minutes.

I am a Prepaid buyer which prebooked my iPhone on the 18th of July. Collection date was suppose to be the 31st of July.

Actually ... as per what I know... Machines 1U already have all the stock on hand (stock came in on 1st August morning). They are just calling up the customers one-by-one since it takes some time to process the documents and activate each iPhone (don't really want a huge crowd at the shops now do we?).

So just sit tight and wait for the call smile.gif
