based on the few last day posting, what I can deduce is that if I placed a booking at any of the maxis centre, and I've not collect it, chances that it most probably available on 18th Aug onwards, as their email/sms claim.

But if I booked other than maxis centre i.e. machine, I may able to collect it on the agreed date subject to confirmation from the respective outlet.

It's quite weird though as it though there is different stock shipment between different outlet.

I myself booked at the garden maxis centre (via new hotlink) on the 31 Aug and opt to collect it on the 14th Aug. I'll give a call on the 13th later just to check, hoping maxis to honour their agreed date.

I booked on the 1st day 3gs released. The staffs there were looked exhausted and grumpy. Maybe due to constant customers grunting at them for the day.

When I told them I like to pay for the deposit, they were puzzled as they thought the booking date has already past. But they accept it eventually when I showed then the confirmed printed email I got from maxis, no question asked.
