Hi All,

I've been following the 3GS saga unfold on this thread with rising interest.

Does anyone have an experience to share with placing a $200 prebook/order for the iphone 3GS in Sarawak? I understand that relative to KL this area is considered by many to be lawless Jungle, but I thought I'd give it a try and see if there were any other prospective iphone owners in Sarawak with whom I could commiserate.

I booked the unit at a Switch store here in Kuching at the Spring on August 9th and despite calls to Maxis and visits to the store, no one can give a straight answer besides "between now and next year". In retrospect, I should have placed the order with our one and only Maxis Centre and not an MEP, but as the clichee goes c'est la vie.

Any information on the state of orders/stock/etc. of 3GS units in Kuching/Sarawak would be welcome. I know it may not be an answer, but just having a little information tends to ease stress and have most people feel a measure control over an otherwise uncontrolled situation.

Thanks!

I booked mine at the Switch (The Spring) in Kuching, Sarawak on August 9th and still, according to the sales team there, no idea when my phone will arrive. It's been 3+ weeks.
