Finally the line I'm queuing is moving, now closer to the hall. Every line maxis deploy a stopper, which means each line will take turn to move into the hall. I think by the time I got my phone would probably around 3am, and behind me the queue is still long

Decided to leave even I was in the ballroom waiting
I was holding 3420
I left at 2am and the numbering system was just calling 3160
means there are approximately 260 people ahead of me!
I noticed that the numbering system calls a new number in approximately one number per minute
means I have to wait for another 4 hours then only I can get the phone!

Maxis is too idealistic
Just open 60 counters to serve 1000 pax of customer in 4 hours!
Can it be possible?
During my 2 hours of waiting
Only 160 pax of people were served
Given the serving speed, it needs around 12 hours to clear 1000 pax of customer
I can't imagine how chaotic the situation will be for tomorrow and Saturday sessions (2500 pax of people per day!) doh.gif

Epic screw up +1,
I was at 3470, was quite pointless, when i see the number moving about 30 number per 30min. Then i notice 3250-3280 totally missing.
Well, some customer was much later than us, got their phone about two hour earlier than me. I think either there is some privileges going on or ppl just perform magic.

Was queuing up for two hours. When entered the hall that time, it's pure mess. It's four hours waiting.  I found out counter operate differently. If you end up in counter 1-15++, they dun release the phone to u immediately. Some funny system going on. sleep.gif Was totally speechless by their slowness. I even have to calculate the total of my payable for the phones to show the counter servicing lady(she took ten minute. using computer and calculator). end up 1 hour waiting for her to process.

Means by the time u got the phone it's around 6am? rclxub.gif
I was holding 34XX
guess I'm the same batch entering the hall with you at 1.30am
I didn't wait and left around 2am as I forsee it'll take around another 4 hours to get the phone
