Guys,

Had a chat with Maxis Centre personnel. They die die said that I am not to get a prepaid line with data unlimited and hope to use it with the iPhone 3GS. They insist that carrier settings are such that it will not work if I am using existing data unlimited line. Which to me does not make sense. Any truth to this claim?

Ah, that makes so much more sense now I now know exactly what I need to do, thank you! And yeah, I would have 500MB of free data to play with. Who wants it? Will trade it for something of significantly less value

Just paid my deposit over at Machines, guess I can count myself as one of the late ones. The store owner was telling me that bookings are through the roof, there are already hundreds upon hundreds of ppl expecting to pick it up on the 31st morning.

Asked him how he is going to deal with crowd control (first come first serve, sequential registration ordering, etc), but they have no clue how to do it yet. Am worried about possibility of getting my unit on time, as I don't want to deal with a long queue when I get there. They don't even have enough units in store to cater for the volume of 31st pick-ups.

Consider this a public service announcement Be there early, expect long lines on the 31st.
