hey ppl, just to share my words. I booked my set which is a 16GB on the 2nd of August and on that day itself I went to The Garden's Maxis Centre to enquire more and apparently yea they have stopped taking in orders for those non-contract basis plan due to the high demand and lack of stock.. But i went back to the MEP near my house and paid RM 200, the staff at my place didnt inform me bout not allowing us to purchase the phone on non-contract basis.

It was efficient I can say as my phone arrived the next day... But I only collected it on the 7th of August which is like 5 days later only. I asked if they are still taking in orders for the hotlink plans and iDATA 1 ... They say yea, you can still order no problem. But the time varies la.. =) I hope this helps

Oh ouch.. that's kinda long.. cos I got mine after a few days upon booking.. Maybe you can consult samcheengsan from lowyat.. his branch is in PJ SS2 and apparently I guess he has stocks on the 16GB white.. but only one left the last time i was updated...

here's the link http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=847024&hl=

yea.. my area here still allows booking for OUTRIGHT and Hotlink Plan, the last time I enquired them.. =)... Hope you get them sooon

May I know how do I know if I'm using the WiFi to online ??? If there's no wifi icon above.. which means im not connecting using wifi and they will charge me based on what I used??

Oh I see.. which means if i were to on 3G, I'll be charged as well?

hahaha okay okay thanks alot for the info

Oh yea.. does anyone noes if the applecare protection plan is applicable for iphone 3gs in malaysia???

prepaid booking or any other non-contract basis plan is halted until they have more stocks in hand. It's kinda sad... =(

Nope I doubt its quite impossible as I initially bought my iphone outright from MAXIS too and when I asked if I could take up the prepaid plan to enjoy free data usage, they say can no longer change.

And if they really allow you to do so, then I guess everyone would be doing that as well to get to purchase it without takin a plan. Maxis isnt dupe in all these calculations.. They want to bond you.. that's the point.. You want it take it.. or not.. byebye.. =) That kinda thing...

yea some Maxis centres even stopped taking in orders cause they cant promise when will the next batch of phones will arrive.. I guess they would clear this batch off first before they order another new batch... well best of luck guys... =) try hooping into a smaller Maxis centre... perhaps they might have more stocks since most ppl flock to bigger Maxis Centres.. Haha

I booked on the 2nd Aug, made payment on the spot and got it on the 7th August. I booked it at a rather small MEP store tho =)..customer service just wanna sweep your calls away thats why they arent serious is communicatin with customers....

But I guess i was lucky as another fellow LYN - Kyoshiro??? Yea he booked earlier than I did at the same MEP store in OUG.. But I got it earlier than him and he's still waiting.. poooor him.. but yea I guess I was lucky that they called me up.. I personally think maybe smaller MEP outlets might have more stocks cos ppl tend to flock at the main Maxis Centres...

rebate??? for what uh?

I'm sorry but I dont pretty understand your term "con" you 2 times?? The rebate is only for those who havent got their iphones or for all the new iphone 3GS buyer from Maxis????

And if I have already gotten the phone and I bought Outright.. am I still entitled???

hahaha gratz.. so you practically turn ur i3G into i3GS without adding any extra cash loo..

Haha yea i booked at OUG too.. pretty fast on me =))

Well in my opinion I think if u wish to get it earlier, perhaps you should just book at the Maxis centre, as watever stocks that comes in will eventually have to be at the Maxis centre before they distribute to other MEP or switch... Anyhow, still gotta wait.. Good luck =)

It didnt work using the import contacts from the settings??
