u paid rm200 to commit on to the booking....
same has to come from them....
jz look at ur booking slip
it does states the collection time is 30days from booking date
so that's the max....
if they want us to commit by paying the deposit for rm200
they too should bound to deliver it at least on time after 30days, not exceed it.

I was going after Maxis's plan and not mainly for the phone. Since they bundled together with iPhone, I might as well give it a try right, but it's a different story for me now. All these hassle for a phone definitely does not worth it. Some gets early some gets later. Check out some of the posts, some have to wait X number of days while some waited for almost 2 months.

Might as well sign up for the plan and get HTC but since it's not yet 30 days, I will just continue wait then

Despite their policy mentioning no refund on deposit, some forumers have been reporting alternatives of getting their refund back should they do not get their Iphone on time - and that includes if they cannot wait any further.

Ok , regarding the jailbreak stuff, we have and official thread here on the forums for that , and the answer is yes. The truth is Machines are selling the phone but the problem is that you would need to wait for the stock, cause Maxis is taking over the Iphone market at this point.

This is the main problem if a business right monopolized by a company:sweat: Does not benefit consumer at all.

@Kenix L
its Apple's partner, Maxis. Do you really feel that Maxis or Apple makes more money if they sell the phone outright ?

hmm yes? Maxis earn money by getting monlty subscription fee. When you have iphone u sure want to have internet that y they provide 500mb and if u read carefully. Ur line need to be active and also they get commission for selling iphone. Apple no need to say la. They sell iphone. They sure make money

getting from machines? they can sell you in that place without any maxis plan? what i ask is that they can sell you older models like Iphone 3G but not 3GS. i really want to get one for my gf but all i know is that i have to subscribe maxis super expensive plans!!

Hi Bro...Oh sorry, i did not make myself clear...i mean Maxis in this context. Maxis using iphone to lure users to subscribe to Maxis and earn more money this way, than just selling iphone itself straight to buyer, with a one time off profit.

Perhaps Apple could consider appointing another partner for distributing iphone in Malaysia, to enable people outside from Maxis network from owning iphone. I believe this benefits Apple in terms of sales, as iphone sales volume will definitely be few fold higher than currently, which only restricted to Maxis subscribers.

Machines should still be selling the Iphone 3G-unless they are having a worldwide shortage on that as well, which I doubt it. Why not you try dropping by any Machines outlet to ask them instead? Since the 3GS is all the hype now, 3G should still be okay.

no, since Maxis is the ONLY legit distributor/importer of iphones, so Machines get their phones from Maxis and is also bound by Maxis terms & conditions, which is now only contract applications are allowed to book. This applies for 3GS though, for 3G i dun think u need to sign any contract.

there are a few (or maybe just one) MEP that enables booking via prepaid, thats how i got mine, Maxis service sucks so i really dont want to sign their contract, please read previous posts for more info.

i already asked some of the apple distribution shop and they told me that there still some stock for iphone 3G but not 3GS. i want to get 3GS though but have to wait for few more months only can get it from apple distributor shop?

simple, dont get it from apple distributors, they're the last vendors on maxis list to get the phones, go directly to Maxis Center or any MEP to book your iphone, but u must be ready to subscribe to contract, contract subscriptions apply for all official iphones in malaysia regardless of vendor.

either that or u wait until all the hype dies down or when there's ex-stock for an outright purchase.

went to maxis store at midvalley just now to convert my celcom to hotlink. see a guy pick up his iphone there.. hehehe when i can get mine...

this week will be 2nd week....
i probably will start bugging them next week to keep me updated wit the status...
don really ask for early....but of coz can early is sweet....
i jz want them at least on time.....
30 means 30, no excuse for more....
the most i can accept is wat u print on the paper: 30days from booking date

you take the hotlink plan? didnt subscribe to their value plan?

I subscribe ivalue1. but i need to convert my celcom first and it take 3 days. eerrmmm... i dont want wait anymore when i got my iphone soon.

Heh, although I booked on 13th September, decided to go try my luck at Maxis Center Gardens... no dice.. continue waiting

16 days for me to wait till the time is up for them

good luck bro.. please update your status later..

if you havent noticed my previous posts, i too subscribe to the prepaid plan, if you go to any Maxis Centers, confirm u will not be able to take hotlink plan unless this has been changed, anyway last time i checked, still cant.

only 1 MEP that i know of is allowing booking via prepaid.
