I'm sure there will be many "lost" peoples who went there without a confirmation ID, which is why i took a later slot. XD Hopefully there will be shorter queue in the next few days~

QUOTE(z_c00l @ Sep 24 2010, 12:00 AM) Funny. Why Maxis didn't request for confirmation ID before providing queue number? Or at least someone guarding the entrance and screen through those who only have confirmation email to enter? According to live reports from our forumers, Maxis do have personnel guarding the entrance?...Apparently those without a confirmation ID would not be allow to enter the hall. (From what i read in the past few pages la, i might be wrong) This post has been edited by Joey87: Sep 24 2010, 12:04 AM

QUOTE(mrhenree @ Sep 24 2010, 12:09 AM) yes, I can confim this. Plus, there are many maxis reps walking around. Thats good news too. Eventhough there's a 3k people in line, 2k is going to walk away without entering.  Lets see how things goes~

QUOTE(iSaaCiMaCiPC @ Sep 24 2010, 12:12 AM) They should have put up a big sign saying you need a confirmation ID, to ease the process. As a typical malaysian, eventhough there's a HUGE sign there, those without confirmation ID will still queue, they just want to try for the sake of trying >.> From Stringfellow's tweets, looks like they took around 10 minutes to serve the first batch of 60 eh?

QUOTE(speedguy10 @ Sep 24 2010, 12:34 AM) assume 3k ppl in total, the last ppl gonna wait for 49 batches before him/her taking away the iphone4... Not true, precisely only 1000 slots for today launch, so another 2k are definitely without an ID.

QUOTE(FinFin @ Sep 24 2010, 12:39 AM) I see, so this is very clear: The long queue is due to ppl waiting to get number. I think the reason why it is so long so partly because many ppl without the confirmation ID are there to try their luck also. After you got your queue number, you can just walk around and relax, chit-chat until your number is up. In this case, I'm going to reach before 2pm tmrw. Get early number!  Btw, where is exactly the ballroom! All I know is that it is above the GSC/Redbox, is that true? My mom refuse to go early with me T.T i'll probably reach around 1.30 pm tomorrow if nothing goes wrong. Hopefully the queue won't be as bad.

@FinFin
Yes i did. What time you'll be reaching there to queue? IMO, going too early won't be practical as there is another slot right before our slot, right?...
and..
OMG, i hate you guys! I want a free case too! Someone ask them to come tomorrow XD

I have a question. Lets say you get your queue ticket, then you went into the ballroom. You found that you need to wait for another 200 person before it's your turn. Can you leave the ballroom and come back later?

QUOTE(bontaku @ Sep 24 2010, 01:57 AM) I wasn't allow to go out when i was there. If i do, I hard to queue up again even tho i got the ticket number. I think you better ask the security guard or the lady at the ticket machine. Oh gosh. How to make my mom stay with me for 2 hours. I'm so dead. Thanks for your information, appreciate it a lot

QUOTE(bontaku @ Sep 24 2010, 02:02 AM) The location isn't great cos the outside area is small and tight - worst is NO AIR CON since air-con at malls are centralized. But from morning should be better but i bet there will be a queue so go early so you can get out early! Well i took the 2-6 pm slot. I don't think we can queue early since they need to settle the previous slot first? Anyhow, we still need to wait inside for 1-2 hours. I was hoping they would allow one of us to leave and come back later. There should be airconds tomorrow, then shops will be open. @stringfellow: What i am afraid is that my principal line owner wouldn't want to wait for few hours with me >.< This post has been edited by Joey87: Sep 24 2010, 02:09 AM

Anyone there yet to do a live report? Is the queue as bad as yesterday or it got worst from yesterday? I really hope maxis speed things up today to ensure smooth movement in the queue >.<

From what i notice, there's actually 4 running numbers. They probably divided their counters to serve different batches?
I saw one running at 34xx, one at 36xx, one at 4xxx, another at 5xxx (which is for the privileges members i assume)

QUOTE(bearbearhong @ Sep 24 2010, 11:05 PM) Having read all of ur updates ( thank u!!) I decided to withdraw my collection tomorrow morning session. Just wondering ( my question this morning), digi iPhone respond doesn't 'sound' as hot as maxis, and why so many ppl rushing to these few days event knowing d long waiting hours. I will try my collection this Sunday or Monday thru maxis dealers (mep), as stated in their website.. Go for a movie or karaoke session first... Actually, i already shop for 1 hour around mid valley, went back home, then went to 1u for korean BBQ, just reach home, and its still not my turn, ahaha~
