Anybody try asking regular shops if they have stock already while waiting for Maxis exclusivity to end? Or they don't have anything at all?

Also, any idea if AP prices have dropped significantly now that RRP is official?

I'm tied to an existing contract for the iPhone I bought for my husband.*sigh* and I can'5 stand waiting any longer til end next month to get it.

Allow me to share my experience. I am a proud owner of HTC desire #16 from the Maxis promotion - bought it on Thursday.

I am already a post-paid Maxis subscriber with unlimited data package. I am not sure if I am eligible for the promotion, thus, I went to the booth and check with the maxis staff. After many rounds of asking, they have confirmed that I am eligible and not require to change my plan but I need to sign a 12 month contract which I am agreeable. After waiting for 10 minutes, they then ask me to go inside the Maxis centre and I went there to wait for another 10 minutes.

Upon my turn, I was ask which plan I would like to subscribe to and I mentioned that I do not want to change my plan. Then the staff said that I am not eligible. I was furious and ask her to check with the staff outside the centre. She went and checked and after a few minutes come back to me and confirm that I am not eligible. In that situation, I was so furious with anger and requested to speak to her superior or her superior's superior if they cannot make any decision.

Guess what? without even the requirement to see the superior, they allow me to purchase the handset at RM1,499 - the next question they ask me is Sir, you want to pay by cash or credit card?

Huh! WTF?

Cheers guy.

I believe if you're already subscribed but not tied to any contract, it's OK. If you're tied to a contract (eg. the iPhone plans) then you're not eligible. In your case, you're a standard user who have subscribed to voice and data plans (no contract). So I believe you're lucky.

I wanted the phone so badly but I'm tied to an iPhone contract (when I bought the iPhone for my husband). sad.gif

FYI - I also just check with regular HTC shops. They haven't even gt their stocks yet until next month when Maxis' exclusivity ends. I was hoping that if they got stock oredi, I might persuade them to sell earlier to me. But no luck. sad.gif

Also, they have SG SIS sets selling for RM 2150 (price offered to me), which is quite cheap, I believe. Thinking...

To clarify all the questions about buying the phone at RM 2199 before contract, I just came from Maxis KLCC. You can now buy the phone at retail of Rm 2199 without contract if you're a Maxis or Hotlink subscriber. Means, no need to signup contract anymore.

The workaround for non-Maxis is to just go buy a Prepaid starter pack and buy the phone at retail price lor. Then use your DiGi or Celcom SIM card. Or just wait until end of this month to see what the Yellow and Blue guys are offering.

I am very happy I got the phone so quick. KLCC booth is until tomorrow, if you want to check it out.

PS. I will play around tonight with it and shoot and upload a Review video for you guys by end of the week.
PS2. Add me to the owners' list!!!
