I received the SMS from TTDI as well. But when I go there at noon, they said it's out of stock already. First thing that went through my head is "They even gave away pre-book phone?". It's really ridiculous, instruction on the SMS was to collect between 10am to 4pm. Yet, they gave the "No stock" response even to those that received the SMS (made bookings). I always have the impression that if I booked something & I arrive within the mentioned period, I should not get the "No more already" response. Moreover, when I start asking questions that I guessed not listed in the script that they practised, they start giving me the "I don't know/I'm not informed" response. So today was really a disappointing experience.

The SMS was sent at 9.30am & they told me by 10.30am, the stocks are gone already. For people with classes/work for today, how on earth can we rush there in an hour upon receiving the SMS & actually have to spend a few hours before we can finally walk out of the Maxis center? According to the staff, this will keep on happening until there are over-supply of iPhone 4 (which is probably a year from now during the of the fifth iPhone).

Now I feel that getting an iPhone 4 is a gamble, since even booking doesn't even work as how it should be. Just go to the Centers early in the morning & pray that they actually do stocks for their daily quota, since there are cases whereby people who arrived early in the morning got shoo-ed away because the Center don't have stock at all for their daily quota.
