Congratulations!

Welcome to the ever-growing family of iPhone users and soon-to-be users! LOL ... sometimes I think it looks like we're all parents in the delivery room of a hospital waiting for the delivery of a baby heehhe  

just called maxis and tell i'm going to oversea next week.
want to collect iphone this week.
he tell nothing he can do. haha. dammit.

Yes.I also waiting of the call from maxis..
Just now i also try to call maxis to help me cuz i goin oversea next week..
But they tel me need to wait...LOL!

actually i booked mine much much earlier (15th july) using the online booking system. but after filling the forms n printing out my copy

2 pay 4 the deposit i found out that i chose black color 32gb instead of the white 16gb. i went 2 maxis center 2 ask the staffs there if i

can change the color n cap they asked around n came back 2 say that "once its in the system, u cant change it". so in that case i didnt

put my money down then. only after abt a month (13th aug) i went back 2 maxis 2 book 4 a 16gb white, pay my deposit, they issue me

a receipt wit the desciption of the item i've booked. yesterday they called me 2 pick up my iphone n they said that i can only do so if i

agree 2 'stick' wit my original booking of 32gb black. i was like "wat?!? i paid money 4 the 16gb white! its handwritten on my receipt u

guys issued!" n they threw that back at me n say "its either that or we refund your deposit" "cos sir, once its in the system it cant b

changed". so anyhow i dont care lar, very malas 2 argue liao, i went 2 that maxis center 2 pick up.

oh ya. cos i booked my 16gb white in another maxis center, when they called me 2 pickup my phone, they told me that my phone is at

the maxis center which is stated in my previous iphone 32gb booking location 

i dunno abt other ppl but in my case, maxis followed the descripto in your booking down 2 the very dot. my advice is 2 check n double

check everything properly when u book 2 avoid all the hassle.
i booked mine in 1 of the maxis centers in jb

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...

SERIOUS??? I'll go tomorrow or saturday to try my luck, thanks for telling me, that's the best news I've heard the past 3 weeks. You just made my day.

Although its a little late at night to be calling maxis, but I'm happy that you did drozzz....
I plan to also call MAxis tomorrow and pressure a little bit.. if things work out, I will update here.. hehehe..

I just went to Maxis KLCC to try my luck with a machines receipt, I told him I received a call to come collect my iPhone 3GS. So he took my receipt, and the moment he saw the word "Machines" printed on the receipt, he said I can only collect from Machines. So I went 3 floors up, and ask when can I get my iPhone, the guy said NEXT MONTH!!!!!!

But I don't care, I'm gonna pressure Machines next week till I get my phone, cause if what Matured said is true, me and DrOzzz should be getting ours, we booked at the road show too.

Drozz, David Mak, Secret Choong...
I GOT MY PHONE!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Hehehe.. a bit of a long windy story, and the plot lines and more 'terror' than pirates of the caribean... so don't get up hopes up too high...

1st, to reconfirm, I have not received any sms, email, call, anything from Maxis. Just decided to walk in to Maxis Center KLCC & try my luck.
I booked on the 14th of August night during the KLCC road show. Receipt from Maxis.

Today went there, buta buta ask, admited that I didn't receive any sms/email.. just trying my luck.. the lady checked, and as she was checking, i noticed the name list includes people who have booked until the 17th of August... so, theoretically, anyone who booked on the 17th & before should be able to collect already (but there's some bad news on this lah)...

my name wasn't in the list... so the lady ask me which type i booked (16G 3gs Black),went to the office, and 5 minutes later, came back, and told me that I can collect, even though my name is not in the list, but fortunately they've got extra unit can spare for me..

I had some personal complications during the registration (which most of you will not encounter unless your personal line is actually registered under corporate plan). Then my experience went through a roller coaster...

1. Waited for 15 mintues for my turn, although I'm the only one waiting for iphone collect (i.e. my turn is no. 501, now is number 500... )then went there, give IC, answer a few questions... bla bla bla... nothing special..
then counter guy (W), goes into office , supposedly to get my phone...

2. W comes out and asks me whether I received any sms/email from maxis to collect, which i told him, Nope. Then he explains to me that the stock they have here are all tagged to a name in the list... batch by batch. Meaning, some people from prebook date 14th would have received the email/sms, and some wouldn't ... and only those who received the email/sms can collect. There's no surplus stock to give out... My smile turned sour.. but I didn't taruh them or anything lah...

3. They call the iphone promoter lady to ask her why she said got unit for me (i.e. bad customer experience), but she explained that she already placed a booking for me when there was an additional unit, so then they checked back the system, and so ngam, really got such ting wor.. hahahaha...
So, then they apologize to me for the confusion, and got me my phone... yeah....
So, from here, my conclusion is that... batch 4 just came out, and in that batch, there are selected customers who have prebooked until the 17th, but does not necesarily mean that everyone has been sent an email/sms from maxis yet.

That said, originally, they may have had 1 @ 2 additional units here and there in case of Walk In's... but it could be my luck that I got my hands on the last unit... So, I probably wouldn't advise you to go yet... next week friday or weekend, yes.. this weekend.. hmmm.. maybe not.. but of course, up to you lah..

Thats my report for now... Time to go play with my new baby...

Added on September 5, 2009, 5:50 pmOH, and to add on, I heard from the sales people, that they are still sticking to their commitment of within 1 month from the date of pre booking, but I doubt anyone will get 2 weeks already from now on.. most likely have to wait at least 3 weeks....

I'm with you man, I'll be making a trip to Machines on 12/09. Maxis is 3 floors down, if the guy is not picking up the call then just march down there and demand an answer. Machines promised 30 days, so if Maxis is not giving them stock, it is Machines resposbility to demand maxis to supply the stock to them, or at least ask Maxis to give them an acceptable explenation why are stocks not arriving on time, and not just telling customers that maxis not giving them stock so they can't do anything.
