If the main reason you are considering a 3G now is the long waiting period, strictly my personal view is that you buy a used unit, use it for a few months, dispose of it then and buy the 3GS. Of course, you would lose a few ringgit, given what you want, similar to those who would pay exhorbitant amount just to get the 3GS early.

The problem is my current phone will die anytime soon and iphone seems to be a good phone to have.....I am not a heavy web user nor a heavy game user. Would 3G suit my needs?

At this rate, when we get our 3Gs which will be months away, the new iphone will already be launched....Never seen such a big blunder by a company??? Imagine maxis managing rice for the country...we would've starved to death

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.

Location: Maxis KLCC Roadshow (Machines Receipt)
Modal: iPhone 3GS 16GB Black
Date of pre-book: 12-AUG-2009 (Night)
Date of Collection: When DrOzzz gets his iPhone, I'll get mine too.
Call/SMS receive from Maxis: No
Package: Prepaid plan

LOL but if i continue wait... then can wait till February where wwdc 2010( i heard rumors) and there is sure to be a new Iphone next year(which is a rumor in USA that AT&T contract over and will be going to verizon. And during that time they will have a new Iphone :/ SOOOOO....... still dont know know i should book my iphone when they release the hotlink plan which i predict will only release on NOVEMBER!!!! Why i say november? If u go and book now u need 1 month... SO i say November  whistling.gif

Chicken and egg thing....if book now, will probably get end Oct/ Nov. Iphone 3GS would already be in the market for 4 months plus....and the new model is due very soon already and hopefully different design. 3G and 3GS looks the same....I can bear a bit more slowness cos I dont think i will use it to surf a lot nor play a lot of complicated games.

i'm getting Iphone from maxis, is it ready stock or i need to order first?

It depends on your requirements...for me, the wait is unbearably too long and I got a 3G. With the savings of RM500 and probably another RM100 for casing (since phone so cheap no need to buy protection liao), I am getting a logitech speaker docking station next week.

I basically needed a phone desperately and does only occasional surfing and gaming. A 3Gs will be perfect but alas.....

Was told by a friend who works for Maxis. The company sent out an email to all staff about the availability of Staff Purchase on Outright Purchase / 12 months / 24 months installments with zero interest via salary deduction. Initial batch only limited to 200 units of 3GS and 300 units of 3G. As of now, only the 32GB 3GS is in stock. Those wanting to get the 16Gb 3GS has to wait. First come first serve basis.

If i go book 32GB, is it available on the spot?

For those who are unhappy with the way maxis distribute the iphone, please cancel the order with them and get back your deposit. I have enough reading of all the maxis-frustrating-wrath-ire posts. Less iphone user will clog up the snail-crawl network which means better speed for me.

Isnt this topic about maxis related iphone registration? What do u expect ppl to discuss under this topic?

when prepaid package is opened...i think the rumor of next gen iPhone has came on the net. i saw dozen of 3G stock at switch sunway carnival mall. how about 3G 8GB sale coz it is low RAM n Processor n half memory of  RM 2490 16GB 3GS. just add 500 to get more value like compass,video editing,voice control.

in gaming term...iphone 3GS vs iPod Touch which one better..how much MHz in iPod Touch proc n RAM..?

RM500 works out to be approximately 33% savings......

yeah, but this kinda makes me think that either Maxis or Apple might be holding back stock to generate this "understocked" hype.. or of course it could just be bad freaking management on Maxis' part

Singtel has posted that they are unable to give out 3Gs temporarily due to shortage of stocks on their website......so its not only maxis

15th september which counts to roughly 2 weeks time is still acceptable. Mine has been more than 30days. Booked on the 28th of August.

if by next week the iphone doesn't comes. I'm gonna get my RM200 back no matter they say non-refundable or what crap. Because on the booking receipt, mentions 30 DAYS FROM REGISTRATION DATE and there's no terms or conditions stated on that piece of paper mentioning of any delay or etc.

What is the rush? Using it now or later does not make such a big difference until u need to have the money refunded

It is not a matter of rush.. i got the money and yet i abide with the 30days period and i should be getting within the timeframe specified. If they can't supply it then why put a 30days from booking date to collect the phone?

If u noticed from the postings here, there are ppl who are pressing Maxis to give them the phone even after 2 weeks. Sometimes they give in to these customers and ppl like u lose out ie allocated units to u may be given out to those ppl who make a big fuss at their office.
