I will go to Maxis Center in Gardens either tomorrow or the day after and check the status of my iPhone 3GS 32GB Black........ Will let you guys know the outcome. Will see if the 5th August thing is a myth......

Yup. Just got it. Going down to Gardens to collect mine.
1st batch too.

Yes. 32GB Black.

I got my phone from Gardens already. 32GB Black model.
No freebies unfortunately

14 Days? Wow that's long.
Unfortunately, I require data on the go because I'm in Putrajaya and have to do work on the move as well.

I'm glad I could collect my iPhone without much hassle, but the registration and activation was pretty long. I notice alot more people ordering the iPhones when I was at the maxis center in Gardens too.

Probably Cempaka school students will have to submit their offer letter (which they haven't gotten yet in the first place.... probably) to a Maxis rep at the school. Then they have to wait in a long line, because other students also doing the same thing. Once they get to the rep, they have to fill up another form of their details, and then ask them to queue up again to submit to ANOTHER Maxis Rep. Then once they get to that rep, they will give them a number and ask them to return to the counter in another 30 days time before they can receive their phones.
Once the 30 days come by, they find out that their phones still hasn't come in yet. When asked why? The rep just answers "I'm just a rep here. I got no control over things. You should call Maxis and ask them."

So the student calls up Maxis, put on hold, and then asks to enter their booking number. The student then gives the number, only to find out that their booking number is not a regular booking number, and therefor, can't be checked over the phone. They will have to visit their Maxis Rep in cempaka for more details.

The student then goes back to Cempaka, and tells the rep their problem, and they said, come back in a weeks time, that's when our stock is about to arrive.
So they go back in a weeks time, only to find out that the color they want (regardless of Black or White) is out of stock and will have to wait. The students then asks if they can just take whatever color is available, and the Maxis Rep says they can't, because it's booked under that color. The student asks if they can collect it at a Maxis store, and they said can't, because it's a special promotion and only authorize Maxis Reps at cempaka can distribute the iPhones.

So they wait, and wait, and then they get a call from the Maxis rep that they can collect their phones, and when they arrive there to collect, they have to wait another hour or so because all the other students also want to collect their phones. When they finally receive the phone in their hands to download class assignments and whatnot, they realize that they haven't been given a data plan, thus have to pay the full amount, which given the size of assignments these days, could cost as much as the phones themselves.

At the end of the day, they STILL have to pay and their semester almost over


Are you REAALLLLLYYYYYYY sure Cempaka students have it made??????
