Anyways, today I called The Switch to ask why even Machines get the 32gb black earlier than them. I told them to go and complain to Maxis. They also said they don't know why MAxis dun want to give them the stock.I asked them is it true 18 aug can get, they said maybe only. They cannot confirm as they said the 18 aug news is not the official date given by maxis. Well I tried to challenge them by telling them that even Machines can get, how come Switch cannot be better than Machines and get earlier. Well, that will make their bosses angry at maxis and quickly do something about it. Or else selamba oni...make us wait. I waited until no more excitement for the iphone anymore. for those of u that are desperate to get and pay more, u can go iworld or lelong. unfortunately they can't give warranty and it's really pricey. gosh... i had placed booking at The Switch at mines last week,after i had listened your problem i started freak out man... looks like i have to urge them

They said probably is because low demand at mines area so maxis HQ distribute to those high demand area. So i urge them to do something instead of let the potential customers get fed up and runaway. Now my steam of iphone getting lower and lower... feel that i nv book the phone b4

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.... Bro so u mean the 4th batch is out now? The switch told me that my name is in 4th batch list.... hopefully i can get it soon btw guys, wanna ask is there any surcharge will be conduct if i change to ivalue plan from my current postpaid plan? can i stick with old number? my current sim card nv activate the 3g service, so if i change to ivalue plan it will auto activate the service?

Enthusiast Senior Member 809 posts Joined: Jun 2007	QUOTE(davidmak @ Sep 7 2009, 10:29 PM) Yes, for those who is ngam ngam one month, just proceed straight to Maxis and demand for it. They say 30 days so lets make them fulfill it. Protectors at RM6x is pretty ok liao considering some brands going all the way to RM1xx. Actually I find those pasar malam cases pretty ok. They cost like RM10 but the same sold at the mall is around RM2x-3x. sure or not bro? wat if those ppls that order from switch or machines?

Enthusiast Senior Member 809 posts Joined: Jun 2007	QUOTE(jimmylim85 @ Sep 16 2009, 11:44 AM) I doubt that. I just receive phone call under Private Number which is suppose to be maxis. They told me the 5th batch stock is delay to 2 weeks. In which i won't be able to get my 16GB version before raya. I did ask what happen to 4th batch, she replied is already cleared!!! Currently only they have 32GB version in stock to be released! There main priority is given to those who ordered from maxis centre while Machines will be the last to receive it For those who pre-booked 32GB iphone 3gs during August should able to get your phones this week. I did argued with them that the sales promoter assured me 30 days max the phone will arrive but now it seems another 14 days +++. She'd given assurance on priority to get the phone asap. For those are outright purchase for 16GB prepaid will had to wait at least 1 to 2 months from today as demand is higher than production in Maxis. I got this info when i ask the person in charge about when can i purchase another unit without pre-booking. Anyway folks... i'm joining the iphone 3gs group after RAYA i was told by switch exactly the same things too... cheers!
