Cool. That's pretty early!! Guess you will probably be the first in line! I'm still thinking whether to go at 9pm or 10pm.

i made an ROI register with maxis and my choice is 6pm 14 December biggrin.gif so i don't have to go and queue overnight !

im from sunway but going at second day 6pm cos i register on that time biggrin.gif
*
Oh 6pm. That's good for you bro.
For me, I think the first slot (12am to 4am) will be the most fun. And I don't want to get stuck in the Friday evening/night rush hour jam. sweat.gif

QUOTE(Reventon @ Dec 9 2012, 04:18 PM)
The event is from 12.01 to 4 am right ?
*
If I'm not mistaken, event start at 9pm, then first time-slot for pre-registered ROI is 12am to 4am.

QUOTE(Xirality @ Dec 9 2012, 04:20 PM)
ROI means register interest? I'm not a maxis user but I did register interest the other day and i get the email from them.

means i can buy outright?
*
If you already get an email from them, then you need to quickly confirm your time slot and package and they will send a confirmation to you which you must print as your 'ticket' to the event. There is no option to purchase outright, but you can try your luck once you are there I guess

how can I choose time slot? I don't want package, i just want phone from them. is it possible?
*
You need to check whether you are selected by Maxis for the launch first. Check here by keying in your details: https://iphone.maxisdevices.com/

And from the confirmation I did before, I don't think there's an option for outright. I remember only seeing iValue package plans which we can choose from.

I reserved my unit with contract plan.
9am - 2pm

Does that mean, i can still pick up my unit at 1:30PM?
or I have to be there by 9AM and the unit is while stock last?
*
No, it you have reserved, then the unit should have been allocated for you already.

As long as you make it before 2pm, should be fine.

However, to be safe, don't wait til 1.30pm as due to the HOTNESS of iPhone 5, your reserved unit might even be sold off by unscrupulous staff. hmm.gif

I was just thinking how reliable is the word "reserved" if it can still be hijacked by other people.
*
Exactly what I'm thinking too. That's why I will be queueing up pretty early even though I have a reserved unit for 12am-4am slot on 14th December 2012.

QUOTE(intothefantasy @ Dec 10 2012, 11:16 AM)
u are allow to make reservation? i mean reservation with the maxis service centers?
*
Based on people's experiences, the reservation of units with Maxis Service Centres is not that reliable, some people ended up getting their units much much later as there is no official procedure to reserve units at Maxis service centres, this was during the era of previous iPhones. Not sure if they have improved now.

i received another email from maxis stating that i havent book my spot for the launch event tomorrow, they offer the MOC special promo for 24 months contract.
doubt i will be signing a contract with them after the warranty issue i experienced
*
Warranty Issue? Mind telling? Maybe I missed it earlier.

I did claim my iPhone 4 (home button prob) earlier with Maxis, and got 1-to-1 immediate exchange on the spot.

I hope this round Maxis will be more prepared.

Only give the phones to the pre-ordered customers and not walk ins!!!!!
*
They have always done it, isn't it?

For the iPhone 4 Maxis Launch I went, only pre-ordered customers could enter the hall.

However, once you are inside I think can easily buy more than 1 outright if they don't control properly. brows.gif

this year with confirm ID only can go in register hall...

so people who don't have confirm ID they will ignore...

remember to bring the email confirm id and IC print out...

Or you can save the Passbook ticket to your iPhone and bring it there.

I have already saved mine in my iPhone 5. Hope they won't bar me entry seeing I already have one. laugh.gif

my 4S has screen flickering issue.
im currently at overseas, my warranty ends tomorrow and im only coming back next friday.
so meaning earliest i can send the phone to maxis is on 22/12 (saturday)
i requested for an exception as im not in the country, they cant give an exception.
and as a MOC member it frustrates me
*
Sorry to hear about that. Maybe can try asking in Maxis forums or on their Twitter for assistance (unless you already done so)?

QUOTE(ReVolVolution @ Dec 13 2012, 01:19 PM)
Nope... the last round on Iphone 4 launch, I distinctly remembered that there were a few that didn't pre-ordered and was queuing... In the end, they also got the phones.

haih... rclxub.gif

Are you sure? I was there at Maxis Launch (2nd Day at Gardens) and they did check confirmation slip before allowing anyone inside. Or maybe later on in the day they allowed perhaps? hmm.gif
