@yongkailoon,
What issues/problems are U facing with the i3GS on the DiGi network?

Waa..Gg lo.. I also booked mine at Mines ler.. Urs is Gentel? When I book the guy still tell me fastest can get is within 2 weeks, maximum is 1 mont.

Dang! I was so excited when I receive a call from Maxis. However, I was shot down as it was only a call to confirm my collection location. Hahaha!

I booked mine on the 23rd August and received this call today, 3 September. I guess that means the phone is already present and allocated to me. Only the matter of transporting it from their supply to the collection centers? I hope so. So that means another week? Sigh... this agony of waiting haha!

@davidmak,
Er.. 1 week for transporting the thing to another place in KL is ridiculously LONG, IMO. Y don't U ask if U could go pick it up instead?

Yeah, I would assume that the HQ has allocated the phone. I was wondering if I should tell them that I can go straight at the HQ. I presume it is Maxis Tower? Instead I asked if there's any location where I can get it sooner. The guy just said its the same everywhere and its typically one month from booking period.

I guess I'll just stick with the Maxis Gardens. The reason why I anticipate 1 week is due to processing of documents, waiting for the rest of the applications, passing of the stocks between hands, actual transportation, incoming processing of documents at Gardens and the rest of those protocols + adding buffers to manage own expectations . I guess thats about a week?

Hi all,

Just wanted to share that when I picked up my iPhone last Sat at Gardens MV, they told me that using Maybank & HSBC c.card will not get surcharge for the 0% interest free instalment plan. So pls ensure you are not duped into paying any kind of surcharges which actually isn't allowed by Bank Negara anyways.

For those who pmed me, yes I got my iPhone in exactly 14days of booking and I've shared how I did it in an earlier post but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

My strong advice to those thinking of buying one to get it directly from Maxis for a speedier delivery and ease of setup process. Once again make sure you get the Maxis centre to configure your iPhone when you go pick it up.

Last but not least, if you are just a casual user, buy the 16gb is enough cause I've only managed to use 5gb so far with 82apps, 352 mp3s, 8 music vids, 5 full lengh movies and about 120 photos.

Cheers!

PS. Damn it was hard typing all this on my iPhone... LOL!

Yes, I hated the auto-correct feature so much. Sometimes I applaud it because it seems to fix a lot of mistakes. Its a love hate relationship really...

Do I need to go for waiting list if I plan to subscribe this Saturday? How long usually it takes to get the phone?

Putraskyline: 14 days to 30 days from the day you booked. That's what Maxis said.

=.= , i booked mine earlier than u 18th of august, haven receive any call from maxis centre yet! do i need to call em up and ask for my iphone?almost 3weeks ady

Fall in line soldier!

Added on September 3, 2009, 4:59 pmThats weird. Cause I see some people not receiving any calls (of where would they like to pick up their phone) and still get it within 2-3 weeks. Some receive this call and still get it within the same time frame. Some receive this call and thats it. Nothing happens.

Ohh my...I'm guessing I can get the Iphone on this saturday also. Too bad the queue was so long

Hi everyone... my first post here...
Super excited... have become delusional about the iphone.. have been having dreams about coffee table sized iphones... (i.e. the one at maxis center KLCC, or the mythical ipod tablet...)

but.. hey..Davidmak. how come u can get your phone earlier than me?? You're damn lucky...
hsien hsien... me more cham.. Sorry... didn't read your comment properly.. so maxis called you up to confirm pick up location.. i haven't heard anything from Maxis yet... no sms, no email, no call.. nada...

I booked mine on the 14th of August 09... gosh.. tomorrow I'm going to KLCC to create some havoc..hahaha...

Which is why I advise not to be too excited about my report on the calls. It doesn't mean anything. Some who receive this kind of call, still had to wait the typical turnaround time. Some who receive this kind of call could get it earlier (I wonder whether it involve cheating hehehe) and some don't receive any call getting it earlier. Too much variation. I wonder how Maxis manage it.

One suspect is that the HQ is doing it right. Cause once the phone has been allocated to you, the stocks will move from 'somewhere' to the respective pickup locations you choose. Once the stock reaches those locations, its up to that particular Maxis Center's management. And the management of one Maxis Center differs from one another I suspect. Thats why we see different levels of service delivery performance. I'm sure they have some sort of standard procedures but lets not suspect whether they are followed or not.

yea... me too.. kinda fed up with them.. i walked in to switch mines past 2 days, asking them when mine gonna arrive.. same old answer they gave..
i told them even my friend booked 2 weeks ago alr get their phone. They said probably is because low demand at mines area so maxis HQ distribute to those high demand area. So i urge them to do something instead of let the potential customers get fed up and runaway. Now my steam of iphone getting lower and lower... feel that i nv book the phone b4

White's nice but be aware of the discoloration issue.
Choose the correct casing and take it off when charging.

Enjoy your phone!

You booked from Machines or Maxis? if from Machines, let me know how it goes.

y everything is not in order?? aikss
