I queued since Ip5. Reached there 7pm. Was the earlier 30 I guess. Knew there was limited stock but was surprised that can buy outright for the 2nd phone. By the time I went home at 2am, a lot people can't get the phone by its colour or size then before sun rise, stock out. I skipped 5s on launching. But my experience told me, if you want to get the phone fast (not dark side), u must choose the guaranteed route. For this year launch is self collection as no guarantee on midnight express. Didn't get to order in the midnight crazy rush. Left my phone no at the website. After work on the same day, 31st at 11 pm, try luck. Surprise can prepare order, payment all OK self collection as well. Otherwise might not order. Next noon, phone call rejected cause ordered. Following day, same thing rejected. Then come the system bug. Self collection changed to house delivery no consent. Chat with live maxis, said don't bother follow original mail. Some forumers confirmed as well. Next, reached Klcc 7pm. Received both sms and email said delivery on the way to house. So, house or Klcc? Kept cool. Checked with front desk Klcc said confirmed my phone self collection but 2nd batch 12.30am but why? Anyway since sure can collect then Makan-Makan. After that straight go to check out the queue. Didn't know queue started but then was chased out when actual store close time reached. Was the first 25 (ignored the 2nd batch msg which is for crowd control for maxis only). By half an hour after 12am, got phone and casing. Before 1am reached home. My advice if we want to die die among the 1st to get iPhone during local launch with discount and preferred telco network:

1) for pre-order; prepared earlier try and try till can. Forget about the bug and glitches. Rem your main and only objective die die want to get. If can take leave and try till u can.
2) order confirmation - only choose self-collect. Nothing else guarantees. if the email is the same as per your order that should be final. Don't let the subsequent mail to affect u unless u can't collect at the end, the very end.

That's my mantra if you really want to get it. If you are C customer then only 1 advise for this launch. Queue early if can take leave and queue as early as allowed. A cheap price and a guaranteed phone-what makes u more happy?

Yeah preorder via mos on 1/11

U didn't call mos and ask why already pre order still can no stock ?

Forget about it, they can't understand what is pre-order.

Guys, why not preorder direct from Apple Store?

i know that we cant go collect at BS warehouse. how if the package already release to GDex.... r we able to collect at their office instead of waiting them to deliver? anyone have questioned this?

I did Calculate for mine
I use data more than call/SMS(really hardly)
A surfmore 50(2gb) vs ivalue1(2gb) makes the same for me as I can't use up the 333min(all-net) or 1000sms(on-net)
If I use the phone at least 2yr
I save back more from surfmore than ivalue1
For my usage yes la...
