Yes, you're allowed to bring a friend in with you to buy the phone.

Currently no news on a 3GS upgrade plan, but you're free to upgrade your contract.

reach gardens at 9am sharp. the earlier the better.
cause 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.
