FYI
KLCC still got stock
but i'm not sure who they are releasing it to
I dunno if that batch reserve for VVIP only or what

i am supposed to collect from KLCC on Monday the 10th, but they sent me sms n email informing delay to 18aug.. if they still have stock, monday I'll go there and knock them out....

please be informed, the final date for payment of prebooking for batch 1 (start receiving iPhone 3GS) was 24th July. This means you will need to have made payment by 24th. In the booking page, it does mention this condition.

@xaw5126,
Yes that is absolutely right! I certainly was aware I had to sign that thingy hence other than the fight I picked with the Machines Store Manager at 1U, I haven't started harassing him with calls every 2 hours to ask him when my i3GS will come

Also, for those who are still discussing pick up and collection times, please note your posts will be nuked. We oredi have some forummers complaining the thread's getting v hard to search for stuff and we don't want to continue cluttering it. Don't say you've not been warned!

I pre-book an iPhone on Wednesday last week. Supposed to pick it on Wednesday this week. However, I received the sms and email to pick it up on Friday, less than two days after pre-book.

I went to KLCC and bam! I got my iPhone 5 days earlier :-)

Tried searching for all the threads but cannot find anything relevant. Does anyone have issues with receiving vCards via SMS? It seems to be missing for me, using my iPhone3GS (no JB) on Maxis postpaid. But vCards via MMS no problem. One of my friends says it's known issue but cannot find it anywhere else. Any idea anyone?

@leviathan
wow u r so lucky..
but i dont understand
maxis say 2nd batch will arrive 18th August..
but y he can get so early 1?

I really don't understand how Maxis handled the stocks.

I booked on 15th July, paid on 18th and collection date was suppose to be on the 2nd August.

But due to the "shortage", I can only get it on the 18th.

Complained it to Maxis(calls + emails), finally got called and they promised to credit RM100 into my account upon collecting my device.

my iPhone 3G sends vCard ... and automatically calls it MMS. Its on Celcom BTW... if I switch off the MMS feature, then I can send Vcard via SMS...

Apple

How about receiving vCards via SMS? I tried using my wife's Nokia phone to send myself a vCard, and confirm nothing will arrive iPhone.

Nope, they are not canceling it. It is just that stocks are scarce right now, therefore they are prioritizing whatever stocks they can get to those customers who will take up their contract by allowing them to pre-book. As for the rest of the non-contract plans, aka prepaid and iData 1, pre-booking is not allowed. You just have to wait for surplus stocks.

a better understanding on the scarcity

Australia hit by worldwide iPhone drought

Hi..Anybody in Kuching haven't received the iphone 3GS? I've book before 24 July and paid on 24/7...Check with maxis..they said I can collect on 21/8...tunggu dari 31/7 ..sudah xde mood..

Actually, I've book prepaid..then when I want to make deposit..they racun me to change to Idata3. I'm currently using unlimited..Is it same kaa Unlimited RM99 with 3GB RM99...itu org maxis kuching kata sama...kalau reach 3GB then will be slow won't charge....Helpdesk kata capped at 3GB then lepas 3GB kena bayar...Mana satu betul? (To moderator I read all previous post) Sekarang nie Helpdesk Maxis kata tiada sudah unlimited w.e.f Aug..Aku tak paham betul.....My question..can I change back my plan to prepaid when I collected the iphone 3GS on 21/8.

guys, if i send in my 3G for warranty change, do they have stock then? mine is 16gb, which maxis isn't selling anymore?

if you ask me, there is nothing to be worried about.

they have tonnes of refurbished 16GB 3G for your perusal.

take a chill pill.

is this only effect for the new pre-booking or will include the people that had been book since last month that havent got their 3Gs...as i'm a prepaid and i just want to get the phone...i have made the deposit...

For your case, hard to tell. Assuming they only have one stock left at that moment, and you and another person booked on the same day and location and paid the deposit. The other person opt for contract. To whom will this unit be given to?

anyone got idea why I never recieve any mail or calls from maxis to notice me that the stock will delay til 18th august?
Should i call back or wad?

eh booking end already right ? so you think they will now open back retail to prepaid ?

do some reading before posting. Those who book havent even get their own set yet thus i think buying through prepaid is not open till they have surplus.
