QUOTE(realpesky @ Oct 7 2009, 08:47 AM) yeah they called Added on October 7, 2009, 8:48 amby they way, how come my version is 3.0.1 when everyone else is getting version 3.1? Most of the maxis users are hoping for version 3.01.... 3.1 has a lot of drawback. If you check on apple.com technical support forum as regards to 3.1, everyone been complaining of battery life and internet tethering problem.

QUOTE(lotus_man @ Oct 9 2009, 03:05 AM) hi,i can collect my phone already but i cant yet because dad needs to go there to sign contract because line is registered under his name. will do so on saturday. just 1 more thing, macstudio called n said they hav already call maxis to settle me changing my package to ivalue2. when does this package begin? When you collect your iPhone at maxis. They will ask you to sign a contract and that is when they start the package.

QUOTE(hsienhsien @ Oct 10 2009, 07:17 PM) hey, wanan ask, last time the maxis guy told me one contract holder can buy 2units of iphone 3gs, but today i went there to book another unit, they said cant book another unit ady, because tat is september promotion only. is that true? Based on the contract agreement. You're only able to purchase one iPhone package on one account holder. If you're able to purchase two units on one account could be under the counter service.

QUOTE(chernloon @ Oct 19 2009, 04:12 PM) i just called..and get this "since you are booking under hotlink plan and it is not available...hehe...not yet arrived" does that mean they have stock but reserve for the postpaid? and i asked that since its not available, in the end i might not be able to get the phone at all eventhough i have already booked...she said eventually u will get it, 1 to 2 months Yesterday there one chinese young chap lansi told me that now we had to wait 60 days for iPhone 3GS. Located at Midvalley Maxis. Opposite machines.

QUOTE(yuvanesh @ Oct 22 2009, 02:06 AM) guys...for those who havent got their phone yet...you go to pavilion..the maxis center over there is sponsoring an event...so there are giving about 400 iphones 3gs with contract..but no waiting period..just booked mine today..and getting it on friday....the event is for a week from 23th OCT to 8th NOV..those who booked but still waiting just bring your receipt and collect it from there... I've just spoke to one of the maxis staff about this Pavilion road show, the terms goes like this : - Limited to first 100 iPhone - Spent at least RM 100 at Pavilion Mall. Is not like 400 iphones 3GS. Btw this is another marketing strategy from Maxis to promote iPhone 3GS And again... another 30 days to wait for me

QUOTE(chernloon @ Oct 22 2009, 02:34 PM) limited to first 100 iphone, just applicable to contract plan ? Yes, contract. Just came back from Maxis Centre. I asked them about this road show. While i pre-book another iPhone 3GS hoping to get it tomorrow at pavilion but it turns out this not so good news This post has been edited by jimmylim85: Oct 22 2009, 02:37 PM

QUOTE(chernloon @ Oct 23 2009, 09:56 AM) yalo...lately seems like many ppl by contract get it quite fast, some more from maxis center. by prepaid seems like gotta be a long wait now... But most of the contracts get it fast because they are centred in KL. While other states quite slow i would say.

QUOTE(sn0wle0pard @ Oct 28 2009, 11:52 AM) Maxis is making their iPhone customers look like beggars  Worse is like we are buying a car (waiting periods). In the US, when your iphone is bricked. They will swap another unit on the spot while here you have to wait for a real long period.

QUOTE(Urban @ Nov 3 2009, 09:53 PM) Dude, that flashlight app can be downloaded on the spot via maxis 3g sim card. You can check dead pixel from there if anything goes wrong. Who hasn't got an itunes account which is free!

QUOTE(fr33dom @ Nov 8 2009, 01:26 AM) can i know at Pavilion there promotion until when?? currently i m Supp line, can i go Pavilion maxis there directly sign wif iValue?? If youre on supplementary line, you're only allowed iData plan. You have to bring your principal line owner along for registration. iValue plans are meant for new registration lines.

Finally the waits are over.
Maxis just called on noon that my iPhone 3gs is ready for collection. This time is barely 21 days vs 28 days the previous unit I purchased. What a unfair treatment from first purchase.
Going to collect it now before it close by 5pm.

Seems like more units coming in. Manage to collec mine. I assume there is at least 5 person collected their phones today. Waiting time should be below 30 days now.

QUOTE(abathingfish @ Nov 14 2009, 03:23 AM) yes, you can still get it on the spot i think. cuz i went there just now asking about the iphone 3GS. they told me got stock after much cajoling. but then wut i wanted was the prepaid one, which they don't have. so guys, is maxis really not selling iphone 3GS w/o contract anymore? so all those stories of ready-stock iphone 3GS are actually contract-based? Maxis are more keen on contract based. At the mean time, there is no more pre-paid and outright purchase for iPhone 3GS under Maxis until further notice.

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Nov 16 2009, 11:32 PM) @nycs82, I was just kiddin; personally one can never catch up with technology - based on Apple's track record, I'm expecting the next iPhone (whether it's 4G or not, I dunno lah!) to be released mid 2010  Hence, wait if U want to wait but don't just rely on my crystal ball cause it might not be accurate  i doubt there will be 4G. It could be iPhone 3G X which might somehow comes with front video cam, 800mhz to 1Ghz proc with 512mb ram, battery capacity might stay or increase albeit, camera can either stay at 3mp or 5mp. Somehow iPhone have to make it big revision than this year model if not, is going to be another boring update.

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Nov 17 2009, 10:29 PM) patience.most of us here have to wait 30 days + i doubt you had to wait 30 days. Possible this coming weeks process should take faster than before. Like i seen most lyn forummers have receive their phones around 3 weeks ++

QUOTE(`arthas @ Nov 21 2009, 04:17 PM) Even they agree to giving you the iphone within 3weeks. But i don't think they will give you in time  but maxis staff could right too. Even I make second purchase, I was told to wait 30 days or else by 30 days period over can collect it. But I got a call on the 21 day. And this time box is tagged with my name on it which that phone is booked by me.

QUOTE(`arthas @ Nov 21 2009, 04:51 PM) wow serious? i been waiting my iphone. they promised me within 10days. but i still waiting the call.  Yes. I was surprise they call me to pick up the phone. Moreover is not in KL. I come at Ipoh Maxis Centre. Usually lots of people comment that stock always distributed firstly at KL hub. QUOTE(wintzen @ Nov 21 2009, 05:37 PM) Guys, can I know if the 3G would have the same timeline of waiting? 3G is stock ready, no waiting required unless out of stock at that particular branch.
