@Edoras,
I just responded to ur query on Internet Tethering over on the other thread but just in case; it does still work, at least on mine it does

@daigo2008v6,
Y don't u call the MEP up to reconfirm?

@mightyguy1970,
Sorry but can U tell if it's a refurbished set or a new set from just the first 5 digit of the serial number? Now that's new to me; care to elaborate?

@m|key,
Don't know how to use then read the pinned threads! And also, please post constructively

@bluefaerie,
I believe everything should work other than video conferencing

@abathingfish,
Majority of the forummers have reported Maxis has closed the prepaid / outright purchase option but there's been a handful of forummers who reported they've managed to purchase an outright unit via the prepaid method.

@abathingfish,
You can do a walk-in pre-order but that will take about 45-60 days of wait time. Don't know if you'll be lucky enough to get a walk-in prepaid set; most unlikely IMO.

@twlim,
Don't think so. If u want immediate, go to Garage Sales

@wen9x88,
Yes U can except U will still have to pay for the iValue Plan line U signed up for. The other option is to go to Garage Sales to see if there's any available for sale.

OT: If you're interested in getting an official unlocked Maxis unit, I've got a brand new 16GB available for sale; haven't put up the sale thread cause I haven't got the phone but will be getting it 16 November.

@wen9x88,
iData plans are merely for data services. The iData 1 plan you intend to purchase your i3GS with is not applicable for now; and it will probably not be available until stock levels are much better.

@Urban,
If there aren't issues with stock levels, some people wouldn't still be waiting.

@Acethriller,
Some of these organisations might have gotten your number from your call card?

@`arthas,
That's great to hear. Speaking of which, what is considered loyal member? On record, I've been with Maxis since 1996 and I'm a bit dissatisfied I haven't been offered any privileges

@friends,
U shouldn't even have mentioned about the internal news if U didn't wanna share, now U gonna be harassed until you give us the information.

Yes I did get 1 measly Blue Form but that's about it.

@PeeEl,
I've given up and have come to conclusion Maxis is only good at getting new customers, not retaining old ones *smiles* Anyhow, am not interested with whatever promotion they're having on the iPhone. Honestly, I don't think it's a good time to get it right now - in 6 months time, there's gonna be a brand new model out

For those who can wait, I probably have a 2nd hand i3GS available for sale then

@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

@nycs82,
I can't quite advise as I've never used a BB before; I'm not the kind who'll want to make comparisons based on what's been told to me; I prefer to make comparisons only if and when I've used both

However, all I can say is that I've been v satisfied with my purchase of the i3G and i3GS

@`arthas,
Possibly but could also be because I haven't been following the mails; not interested since I oredi haf the i3GS

@jimmylim85,
I think you're right - and it's probably about time to introduce video conferencing *smiles* 4G as in 4th generation

@Jasonjinct,
Your guess is as good as everyone elses.

@friends,
oK - we'll just wait and see and once it becomes available; appreciate if someone can update me
