Corporate users will have priority, if not we will jump telco. almost 1/4 of the employees using iPhone, so it's kinda norm here. Best part is one of my colleague got his iPhone in 4 days and the telco called him up the next couple of days to arrange for a delivery of the phone ! Even after telling them he have received it, they called again in another 2 days and tell him his phone is ready for delivery. Told him don't reject the phone if they called the 3rd time.

yeah .think i'll keep mine 2 years the most ....

prepaid users are consider lucky if they could get it within 6 months after booking

i was merely saying it took months to get an iphone on prepaid plans. of coz i knew it's out for less than 6 months ...
some of them, maybe lucky ones got it .. but it's far too few, judging from the comments posted here.

I think outright purchase of the iphone is not an option because under the agreement with Apple, Maxis is suppose to give Apple a cut from the plan ppl are subscribing as well. It's not 'officially stated' but that's the way you get 'exclusive rights' from Apple.

or corporate users

Maxis should really be telling ppl the waiting period is anywhere between 3 months - 6 months and let the ppl decide if they wanna be in the waiting list, instead of giving ppl false hope. That way, ppl would be happy if they received it around 45 days or so, since they have been told to wait 3-6 months instead of telling ppl it take 1 month.

as if they care. one click and the email end up in 'trash' folder

I think our company have an agreement with the telcos many years back, so once a while the telcos will roll out some new phones. Handset are heavily subsidized, some up to 50% of open market value. The same goes for the plan. We choose whichever plan that are open for public that we want but only paying maybe 25% of the plan cost. Best part is they delivered the phone personally to our office. As for iPhone, it'll normally take less than a week to be deliver. Got mine in 3 days ...

more likely to be Mac tablet ..cant's wait
