No one knows but honestly i will be ordering mine today at the Gardens, heard that is the best place to place an order.

ok i have a question and i hope u guys can help

1)Must a choose a plan right now or can i choose it when i get the Iphone itself
2)If I pay the deposit of 200 today, will i also need to swipe my maybank card for easy payment
3) So sorry if i am asking the same question again, i did look through did not see much info
4) Is gardens a good choice, I do hear a lot of good reviews from that place, my second choice would be Klcc.
5) Thanks guys, It would be nice if i could hear something by the next few hours tongue.gif

I want to ask you guys something, cause even i dont know this.
Firstly, i already received my iphone on the 20 something of last month, my 3gs 16 gig black.
Now this is the thing, my friend has a corporate account, and he has all the signatures to change his plan to iValue2 for a year.
Now this is what maxis is telling him and indirectly they are lying right out!
The iValue 2 for a year is 1790 wiyh the rm 200 deposit.
They are asking my friend to pay the rm 200 deposit and when he collects his phone he has to pay 1990 meaning he needs to pay an additional 200 as well!
-The additional 200 will not be deducted.
-This is the best part of the whole experience and its a good thing he recorded this call, the maxis Klcc manager also told him that I paid 1990 when i collected the phone meaning, 200 deposit and an additional 200 when i collected it.
-Thats a blatant lie, is this a new rule or something? I have no idea about this as when i collected my phone for 1 year , iValue 2, i paid 1790 at Maxis Klcc.
-Sigh if anyone of you guys have heard of this let me know.
-My friend is a Maxis corporate user.

Just to reclarify, I paid a deposit of 200 and paid 1790 .

They are asking my friend to pay 200 deposit and 1990 for the phone when he collects it. The additional 200 they he paid when he collects his phone will not be deducted in his phone bill.

I am trying to get an iphone 3GS 16GB without signing up to Maxis. My friend told me that Maxis is not keen on selling just the phone without contract. cry.gif

Any other way I can get an iphone without signing up? I am a digi user.

well you can try the usual, Cod through forums, or Lowyat/Sungei Wang plaza. Just do understand that the phone is still outrageously priced because of the shortage, and honestly at this point it would be relatively hard to get one, unless you join Maxis. Thank god i have been a Maxis user for 8 years so for me it was a breath of fresh air. I got my phone in 3 weeks tongue.gif from Maxis Klcc in August.

Hi Ashwin,

Thanks for your reply. If i were to get from any forumer here, there will be rather troublesome when come to warranty claims. Apparently I have to get the maxis user's ic for warranty claims at Maxis center, if i need to repair the iphone. sweat.gif

I think Maxis's main intention is to sell their plans, this earns more than just selling iphone, a one-time off profit!

The truth is, what do you want from your phone, If you want to be a normal Iphone user or a person who would jailbreak. By jailbreaking (like me) you avoid the warranty. IF you do get the phone from anywhere else, for example lowyat, you still dont have warranty, the only warranty is with the shop and if they cant repair it completely, no difference actually.

So bro, if you could wait i would suggest a few more months and get it from Machines. If you really can't, then I would suggest the usual, start lining up at MAXIS for you 1 month wait sad.gif

Hi Bro,

I will not be able to install any 3rd party programmes without jailbreak right?

Wait few months to get from Machines? You mean machines will be officially selling iphones in few months time? drool.gif  Sorry, i am a little outdated, hardly log on to lowyat nowadays due to busy working schedules... cry.gif

Ok , regarding the jailbreak stuff, we have and official thread here on the forums for that smile.gif, and the answer is yes. The truth is Machines are selling the phone but the problem is that you would need to wait for the stock, cause Maxis is taking over the Iphone market at this point.

Guys I have a quick question, for the Iphone 3G, is there no more 16 gig sets available from Maxis, or has it only been 8 gig all the time. 8 gig is basically too little , for my cousin...sigh, anyone have any idea?
