I heard there are shot 15000 units. Not sure how true.
Apparently you can buy it outright (just the phone) from today without needing to buy contract. Not sure until we get to the counter. I asked one of the staff who was filling an iPhone confirmation slip(at the queue), she said you might have trouble if owner of the number isn't here cos that person needs to sign the contract. |

I'm one of the 60 first ppl to go in for the launch. They just had some mini games and giving out 2 mini speakers and 2 cases.
Apparently you can't get out! Once out, got to queue again! Oh grammar error. I heard maxis have 15000 units of iPhone 4 in general. I don't know how true it is but I overheard. Pretty quiet here. Nothing much happening. I'm surprised there aren't many people but there's an upstairs launch for VIPs. |

Woohoo!
I finally got the phone. (don't mean to brag or anything) Basically the first 60 are like testers for the 60 counters and also to hype the launch. We get fed and get to chill out. All good - got out by 1220am. The queue is massive and the air-con is off so its freaking hot. I would advice people to queue early for the next slots cos early line-up = you get out of there faster! I waited for 2hrs (from 7pm at least). This post has been edited by bontaku: Sep 24 2010, 01:04 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.

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! Note: There are bathrooms in the middle section so it isn't that bad. No bathrooms at the ballroom. Remember to bring your own drinks cos it can get pretty stuff and hot in the middle section with all the bright lights. Ballroom area is comfortable and cooling. If in doubt, ask security guards with red ties or the person next to the ticket machines (cos they were pretty helpful to me when i was there and they know their stuff!).

QUOTE(air_mood @ Sep 24 2010, 09:29 AM) Anyone who went or is going, the installment plan...will it still be available after this supposed launching?? And do you have to reach a certain amount to qualify for 24 months?? Or any amount is possible??? I know you can definitely do install plans cos I was asked if I wanna go on install plan when I paid. I'm sure you can still get itBooked for the 2-6....but dont really fancy going with the story of 4, 5 hours wait..thinking of getting it at the Maxis Centre instead.. You guys should watch out for "green" cards flying up - means problem customer or something customers hehe This post has been edited by bontaku: Sep 24 2010, 09:35 AM |

QUOTE(ch1ck3n @ Sep 24 2010, 05:24 PM) reach gardens at 9am sharp. the earlier the better. I predicted these would happened. I asked the guy serving me about last year - he said either people complain abt the phone (brand new) or what free things they can get (seriously?!) or why so expensive or start looking at the plans and want a total layout and explanation of offered plans. WTFcause once your in front of the line. u r the first few to be able to go in and purchase the phone. instead of waiting like a donkey and the the numbers from 10am -2pm slot have not been cleared yet. cant imagine for the 6-10pm. 1 thing i find very irritating is that i see that people without rsvp lining up and asking all sort of questions while in line.. come on..if u dono wad ur buying move on.. and i went to complain to the staff in the area. he said it was slow cause some people are hogging the counter. some gets it finish within 10 mins. some takes more than half an hour. i can just imagine those who takes half an hour didnt do any bloody homework on what they want to get. or they think they are like in pasar malam, can nego for this and that. i overhead so many uncle and aunties, ask this ask that...walao eh.. even more stupid. got one auntie..go and ask the iphone staff.. " i wanna complain my emails i send take more than half a day to go out " WHAT CAN SHE BLOODY DO? she is not the bloody technician eh. i dont think Maxis is to be blamed only, i think the MALAYSIAN public is to be blamed to. lack of preparation, and just malaysian attitude of not respecting the procedures. i was in line for more than 4 hours. i gave up. i will get mine in a maxis center, or i will wait till the craze dies down. honestly, i wish apple stayed exclusive and ensure what we are getting is exclusive. Partially I blame maxis. They should hire more staff outside then in the middle room. They should weed out the people without confirmation and be strict with who can come in. Most of all, they shouldn't put it at Gardens cos the outside area is horribly SMALL! Did they think only 200 people will come or something? |
