@chingwooi & Xonius,
Whether it's worldwide shortage or it's stuck at customs; we're still gonna have to wait for the i3GS so let's just wait and not get too hyped up over it here

With the long wait for 3Gs, I am considering getting the 3G model.....what do you guys think? Can save some money at the same time also..

just got mine yesterday, without going tru the pre-booking ...

anyone of you paid for the 400 advance fee?

correct..normally sms and email..

without tat u are just bang ur head to the wall

I got mine today at Maxis The Gardens. Exactly after 1 month. I cannot use it for 24hrs however, as I am switching from prepaid to postpaid.

I am happy with receiving the phone finally. I am however very angry with Maxis for a new twist in this f***ed up script.

I was advised to get the iValue1 with the 'old' RM99 Unlimited (real genuine unlimited)....so today I told her that was the account I needed, I was told that Maxis had cancelled that 'old' account. There's no real unlimited account anymore, besides the Idata with 3GB download limit. To me this really is a disaster as I needed to use my iPhone to do daily videocalls (also through skype) to Europe. I will most certainly not make it with the 3GB. The 'punishment-costs' for exceeding the data limit is extremely high; 0.5sen per kb?...What the flying f***? That's RM50 per mb right (or am I mistaken???). Unbelievable that they decided to change this all of a sudden. I took some RM50 call account with the iData3 or something, RM150 total for 3gb a month. How can they offer television on a 3GB cap?

Anyways, I will see how it goes. I had planned to use tethering on the phone too, but with 3GB it's not of that much use to me anymore. I am thinking of paying off everything altogether and will try to locate a 3G provider without a download cap....anyone know of any (celcom perhaps?)....besides...I couldn't even change to Hotlink, I was told I couldn't get my iPhone today when I wanted to change to Hotlink prepaid. I was told I would get my RM200 back, and had to wait for it to be available as prepaid again....again, wtf....why so many dissapointments? Welcome to Malaysia right???

I decided to call up Maxis (123) and try to get a clearer picture on my booking status. I told the customer executive that I booked mine on the 23rd of August and she told me in a firm voice that there is NO LONGER A PROBLEM WITH LOW STOCKS if I am collecting at 23rd of September (1 month after booking). She then proceeded to check through a centralized database and located my booking records and also found out that I am not in the DELAY LIST.

In other words, the arrival of my iPhone 3GS 16GB Black is imminent and will be on time. I just hope it will be few days earlier on the 19/20 September just before the Hari Raya. By the way information to my booking:

Date of booking: 23 August 2009
Location of booking: Maxis Centre, The Gardens
Status of booking: Confirmed on time
In delay list?: No
Model booked: iPhone 3GS 16GB Black
Type of booking: Priority. RM500 rebate upgrade invitation.

Hi just want to ask .. is the iPhone 3G 8Gb also need to wait 1 month??or I can collect it on the spot?

fair enough lah, but i think maxis really screwed up this time, and pissed off many customers. but as long they have the iphone card with them, don't think many maxis customer will boycott them. unless there are other cheaper or equivalent alternatives to purchase an iphone, if that happens, maxis are really screwed. IMO.

haha, you read my mind lah bro, dead spot on man. i got way past sick of waiting, up to a point that i just couldn't care less how late i get my iphone, as long as i'm getting it, i'm content already lah. anyway, i'm thinking of booking another 16GB white with maxis klcc, wonder how long that would take.

DrOzzz
Bro, ur's will come soon no worries.
I realise sending complain emails are better than calling their stupid CS hotline =.="
Although that guy din called me punctually but at least he's doing something. And he's being polite, better than those CS hotline fellas... hopeless man...

alot ppl getting their phone b4 RAYA

wth..sound like kl faster than jb

I booked 3GS 16GB black on 1 sept at maxis centre ipoh. Today I tried my luck, walk in and ask. Still they dun hav stock.

Then tried call 123 and ask. "Booking from 1 sept onwards will hav to wait 30-45 days" was wat i get.

When I bought my new car, I just had to wait 3 days. iphone 45 days... ridiculous...

Haha,book on 25/8 and get it yesterday,woo hop,using on post
