I went to Maxis center Cheras, they said no more pre-order/booking. You have to walk-in and buy/register the phone.
And also they said no more stock at the moment,dunno when the stock gonna arrive.Then i went to KLCC, wah the queue so long and also they said the same,no more stock and no more pre-booking.
After that i went to TTDI Maxis center.Same story being told there,and they said to come again in 2 weeks time. Didn't check at the Gardens and Pavilion yet.Got frustrated and went back home sad.gif

IMO, just don't bother and buy a Sg set. I gave up after being told by the Maxis CS that The Gardens had stock left. Living in Cheras, I drove all the bleeding way to Mid Valley to find out that stock had been sold out since 5pm lol. I'd been going every possible moment to every possible Maxis centre.

If Digi had 12 month-plans, I'd switch, but since they don't, I'm getting my SG set from Lowyat today.

Yeah man i feel your pain, same here sad.gif
How much they selling at Low yat? the price higher from Maxis/Digi?
Yeah if Digi had 12 month plans,i'm deffo taking it.

yeah... i'm 4th... :-)

Anyways.. Maxis is a big BS. Always telling customer no stock when in the store room got more stock than you can imagine!
Just trying to give the illusion that this thing is a hot cake... but in the end the customers treated like crap.
This morning say only 20 people can get.. but one person get get 2 or 3 also NO PROBLEM. (?!?).. doesn't make sense...

Good luck for those who are still trying.. I'd say the best bet is go Gardens Maxis and be the first 10 (to be safe) and line up in the morning.
Screw the "NO STOCK"... no such thing as "no stock"... so fed up of hearing this. Glad I got the phones I wanted so now I don't have to bother anymore.

Yeah that's why i'm afraid if going in the morning to queue up and later they told stock already finished.

I've finally managed to get 1 unit of 16gb for myself and another unit of 32gb for my fiancee from KLCC MC on last saturday.

This is my personal experience on getting iphone without waiting long. On last friday, I went to MC after work, and queued up at the Iphone counter. It only had 2 people ahead of me. At that time, I'd already expect that no stock is available, and this was exactly what I overheard when the staff told that 2 ppl ahead of me. So, when it was my turn, same story went for me. Then I asked the staff if I could pre-book the phones and collect it on the next day morning, and I was holding the Iphone checklist with me. Once she saw the checklist on my hand, she said OK! She then helped me filling out the form and verifying my existing contract details. Once verified, she told me to come on the next day morning, and went for her directly or get a queue ticket to collect the phones directly.

On the next day morning, as what I've been told, I reached there at 9am then got a queue ticket with just 1 person ahead of me. Everything was so smooth and fast, I got my phones within 1/2 hour then walked out from MC after that.

When I reached there, the queue in Iphone counter was like more than 40 ppl, and all I heard was "out of stock, and please come back the next day morning". When I was collecting the phone, I overheard a guy next to my counter, he actually arrived MC at 4am, and during that time, there was already 2 ppl queuing up ahead of him. OMG!! this was unbelievable.

Luckily, with my way, I wasted no more than 1 hour within 2 days to get 2 units of iphones. Perhaps, anyone who intends to buy can follow my way. I hope this info is beneficial to everyone here.

What is the Iphone checklist?

Thanks for sharing.
That was great! You are so lucky. Pre-book? The answer was NO, NO, NO.
Perhaps, I should have look for a friendly face.
I feel like vommit when I think of getting an iphone from MC.

Yeah man, IMO they should tell customer the truth instead of " oh iphone out of stock alrdy,come back in 2 weeks/next month time"
that is so bullsh*t i think,when u see other people getting their Iphones without any hassle.

@kaneshi: oh you mean if i have the checklist, my chances on getting the phone is higher?
The thing about prebook,almost all MC i went,they said no more prebook.A bit confused on this matter,some say can,some say cannot.

@ mugenz: You should check with the Maxis Center, normally the mains one is in The Gardens Mid Valley,Maxis KLCC, Pavilion, Sunway Pyramid,TTDI. From what i heard they entertain walk-ins but you need to come early in the morning to queue up for it.

Latest info from maxis. For those who is hunting for the iPhone 4, there'll be new stocks coming in for everyone. The reason why it's so hard to get one is due to clearing the Pre-booked customers list. 2 weeks from now guys... No more hunting.
*
Meaning no more queuing up at wee hours? smile.gif
Hopefully it's true though, at the moment if i want to get it, have to take 1 day leave just
to come in early to queue up. tongue.gif

Pre-book is for the one who book it during the launching.At the moment they don't take any pre-book anymore(as far as i'm concern) and they will ask you to come walk-in most preferably in the early morning to get your iphones.

I'm not so sure about that, people giving conflicting stories on their experience.
Some can,some cannot lol. If ada the surat pun,i'm not 100% sure they will entertain you.Unless you've already made the pre-booking.

ya, i do made a booking for 25th 6-10pm section.but i saw there is alot ppl had been told tat, collect at the GARDEN on the next day or any outlet. so, i didnt go queue up for it, till now..
my booking number still available to collect??


Added on October 4, 2010, 2:43 pm
yaya.. i make the on9 booking.. but i havent go collect it yet.. so my booking still available??

I'm not sure how online booking works. At the moment, people who made the pre-booking, they all walk-in to the respectable
Maxis Center and leave their name and contact number(during the launching).If there's some info on online booking that i've missed out earlier
in this thread,i'm so sorry smile.gif
@jesskun: did they mentioned which Maxis center you need to contact/collect once your item is available in your online booking?

Correct me if i'm wrong, from my understanding is if you walk-in during the launch i.e 26th/27th Sept you can prebook the Iphones. Because my friend went to MC Pavilion and pre-book her iphone.
So @mugenz you definitely can pre-book during the launch/pre-launch of the iphones during that period.I dont know when they stopped taking the pre-booking.

i'm saying about the prebook, where ONLINE booking, b4 iphone4 lauch at the garden..
my collect section should be on 25th sept 6-10pm..but there is ppl on 25th sep 2-6pm section says tat, maxis sms those on 6-10pm section, ask them collect on maxis outlet..
but i dunno how they collect at maxis outlet..
*
Well they should tell you which Maxis center/outlet that you need to collect the item.
Safe bet is you go to The Gardens there and ask the staff,which MC you should collect your iphone.
Btw did Maxis sms you to inform for the item availability?

By which center? This whole process is so unclear for all the customers that interested
purchasing the phone if they missed the pre-booking period.

You can try your luck by walk in to the MC because that's what i've been told by the staff at the Gardens.
You have to gamble a bit(from my point of view by the statement from the MC staffs).

Come in early morning to queue up and cross your fingers that you will be in the group to purchase the phone from the quota
allocation on that day.
