Seems like here in Kota Kinabalu, the first batch will get theirs after 18th August (not a confirmed date as mentioned by the Maxis staff). Only 14 ppl will get their Iphone on the first batch. I booked on the 31st Jul and my name was not even on the list. Hmmm, looks like I'm gonna have to wait a lil bit longer (like there's anything else I can do )

booked mine on 1st august...till now no news yet

paid deposit

darn it...I booked my 18 july and no call from them yet. Also TTDI.

I just called maxis and they said limited stock already arrived. Ask me to wait while the branches sort out their customer list. Wait until end of this week if no news from them yet, call maxis center again. They don't want to give contact info to TTDI for me to call them.

So, just have to wait....and wait....and wait....

Actually how many of 3GS sold by Maxis as of now? Seems the Q is growing and growing! Iphone really making a hype here, no wonder nowadays more frequent i see ppl using Iphone...
Pity other phone maker which carry so many models but couldn't beat iphone with single model ...

wow just get a call from maxis gurney center....they call me tomolo to collect my iphone 3gs...which i book from 3th aug...2nd batch consider as..

@abubin

This is another case whereby ppl call the wrong place to ask about the stock availability. You should have called the TTDI maxis centre to ask about your stock!! Not the CS, how on earth should a part time call receiver in customer service know about stock availability in all maxis centres in Malaysia, the obvious answer from them would be either dunno or no stock or limited stock.

BTW, my booking receipt clearly shows the contact no. of my maxis centre. you should check yours too. if you really booked on 18th july, you should b on their priority list, no doubt. pls call and check with them.

If i subscribe to ivalue plan for the iphone 3g.. (not 3Gs)

will i able to get the iphone 3G on the spot??

Or i have to make booking like the 3Gs?

no idea.....maybe can call them and ask?

I just received a call from maxis cs n telling me that they are rebating me RM500 to maxis iPhone 3G user that buy iPhone 3GS.
He told me that the amount will be credited directly to the bill 2 month after u purchased the iPhone 3GS.

the best part of the rebate is the amount can be carry forward

my phone usage is around 90 ++ thats mean i got around 5 months dont have to pay bill ?

any1 else receive the same call?

Should be only 3Gs require booking

rebate??? for what uh?

to celebrate that they con me 2 times

iphone 3G n 3GS

I'm sorry but I dont pretty understand your term "con" you 2 times?? The rebate is only for those who havent got their iphones or for all the new iphone 3GS buyer from Maxis????

hey if we don't book right we can't buy iphone on the spot?

@mandyxt,
The rebate is for those who purchased BOTH the i3G and i3GS from Maxis.

And if I have already gotten the phone and I bought Outright.. am I still entitled???

So I can get the iPhone 3G on the spot??

Yes you can ... they got plenty of stocks for IPhone 3G ...

Wow it seems that my theory is correct! Initially I was shocked bcoz maxis came out with such affordable plan for everyone for the new iPhone. Tat really got me thinking. There was no explanation as other countries seemed to increase their i3gs price as compared to 3g. But maxis i3gs price is identical to i3g price. I was thinking no way since even in the US ppl r complaining about the price hike. But they forgot tat apple gave them rebate when they upgraded from 2g to i3g. So since maxis din bring in i2g, apple has to give rebate for customers who wish to upgrade from i3g to i3gs! Tats the reason y the prepaid price is pretty affordable too. I won't b surprised if the next version of iPhone is more exp than i3gs as experienced by US customers now for i3gs.

@thaisxs

while u might sound tat u r benefiting from this, u r actually losing money if previously u bought your i3g from maxis. Assuming u bought it during the launch which is end of march your i3g would b priced around rm1-1.5k depending on it's condition since it's only less than 5 months old. And you r happy maxis paid u only rm500?

Why is Maxis handling this iPhone 3GS so damn slow. From the post here, I see people who booked from July still haven't received theirs. I am planning to get one soon for someone, but I don't want to book and I hate the concept of putting money before we see the product. I prefer cash and carry with the hotlink option.
