Yes, I was one of the people who went for the much anticipated iPhone 4 when Maxis launched it at Gardens, Midvalley.
I arrived there at about 10:30 pm on Thursday 23rd September and there was already a huge queue of people waiting to be the first in Malaysia to get their grubby paws on the iPhone 4. (The video is actually a tour of the inside before the crowd shots)
The iPhone 4 is due to be released at the stroke of midnight so all the Apple fans were there in droves!
I was there early so I could go around and check out the scene. There is an area inside where the features of the iPhone 4 is displayed and explained.
iBooks! I would so totally love this since I read a lot.
Check out the Maxis cupcakes!
The Maxis iPhone 4 launch had no shortage of entertainment – I really liked this violinist who played at the lounge.
I’m revealing my age here, but I love this song! It’s Rednex’s Cotton Eye Joe. 
There were also food and drinks galore. I love this lamb kebab they had. It tasted delicious with the dip that went with it.
We were hanging out at the lounge until the press conference was slated to start.
The end (of waiting) is nigh! w00t!
The Maxis people launched the iPhone 4 right on the stroke of midnight and we went to the rooftop to catch the official launch.
I managed to get my iPhone 4 at about 2 am. I hear some people had to wait till 4 am and wore their next day office attire to get it.
iPhone 4. I haz it! I got the micro SIM last weekend and the initial impressions I have of the phone is very positive. I’m lovin’ it. Full review coming up soon!
It feels good to be the first in Malaysia to get my hands on it.
The only downside to it is that I have to beat back all my friends who want to buy it off me. π
Get it yourself la can! Go to Maxis, they have stock. I want the iPhone 4 to complete my collection of smart phones!
I was at the Maxis launch too. I saw you walking around and taking photos. It was a very long queue but I have an iPhone 4 now! π
Sean: Hello Sean! Yeah, there was a lot of people wanting to be the first to get the iPhone4 from Maxis. π
I have mine too! w00t! π
if i ask real nicely will you lemme play with it! π *puppy dog eyes*
fresh: Of course! Feel free, I know you’re a huge Apple and iPhone fan! π
waa nice, we couldn’t get in without registration :S
KY: Yeah, I’ve been using it and it’s very nifty! There was a really, really long queue, some people just came in their office wear and waited until their turn before going to work just to be the first to get it. π
it’s a phone, right? Check email and surf porno on it, right? play games, chat to hot chicks in the bus, what else can it do?
I hear there’s an App that allows you to rest the phone on your testicles to measure fertility. Hmm…I want an iPhone too.
How’s the phone treating you?
Maybe I should pinjam from you to play it for a while hahaha! =D
rocket: It’s not just a phone, it’s an iPhone 4! People queue up for ages for this one. π
Heh! Really? I gotta find that application…it sounds interesting. π
Jester: It’s pretty good! Yes, can, I can borrow it to you to play around with. Anytime! π
lol..was catching up on ur latest updates..and whoa..u got a pic of my uncle in ur pic for the event!..gave me a bit of a pleasant surprise..
what can an iPhone do?
Remember i asked you abuot craeting Apps, yes, i have found out how you can do it
Andrea: Heh! Thanks for dropping by! π
Which one is your uncle? He works in Maxis?
rocket: A lot of things! The apps are a lot more fun that in other apps. π
what are you talking about? Speak Da English, mate.
Apps are fun, but not as much fun as drinking or doing the groupie thing with a beer vendor. So there you go, iphone is crap. groupie with beer vendor is GOOD.
Since I can predict that somewhere along the line, you’ll definitely loose your phone or accidentally drowned the phone, can you give it to me please? I’ll take good care of it and you’re welcomed to visit iPhone 4 anytime! Lol..
wahhh!!! dammit… now i wan an iphone 4. do maxis accept trade in the 3GS?
Eiling: I bet he has taken it to an outing with the beer vendor, i dont think you shold touch the phone unless you want to catch crazy diseases.
Shall we see a Sixthseal App on the way? =)
I wonder what will a SixthSeal App do? you walk down the street, walk pass a hot chick, both iPhones will ring, and then display the nearest liqour venue and travel agent.
HB, my uncle’s the 1 in specs in the pic of the ‘VIP party’ sign…yes..he works for Maxis..heh
HB, yes he works for Maxis. He’s the 1 wearings specs in the pic of the ‘VIP Party’ sign…
rocket: Heh! iPhone has a lot of interesting apps. I have a lot of smartphones, this is my very first iPhone! π
eiling: HAHAHA! Good one, but I want the iPhone 4 for myself. I’ll take good care of it! π
Fiona K: Hmm…I’m not too sure you’ll have to check with Maxis! π
Pete: Heh! I won’t mind trying to develop one! π
rocket: Heh! Good idea, now that’s an app you won’t mind downloading eh? π
Andrea: OH! I met your uncle in the lift! We were trying to find the place from the parking. π
Oh..haha..that’s interesting to hear…heh. Anyway..keep up with the updates…am enjoying ur various adventures π

Michael (MIke): Heh! Yeah, we were just talking about this culture of want to be the first and camping out for stuff being relatively new over here – something the new generation (us) adopted. The older folks don’t do that last time. π
Jess: Yeah! There was a huge queue of people at the Maxis iPhone launch, everyone wanted to be the first in Malaysia to get it. π
I think by now, your friends already have their fingers all over your phone.
Er..er,, may I have it, puhlease..puhlease..handsome???? π
Yvonne: Haha! Sorry, I quite like the iPhone 4 so I’ll be using it. Very nifty, only downside is the battery life. π
The iphone is interesting, but I recently got to use the HTC Incredible… and that IS incredible! My cousin just bought it and I really can’t believe how awesome it is. And with so many software programs available with open source, the possibilities are limitless.

I think you can add some more pictures to your post. Surely a man needs a closed place wherein he may strike root and, like the seed, become. But also he needs the great Milky Way above him and the vast sea spaces, though neither stars nor ocean serve his daily needs. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Wisdom of the Sands, translated from French by Stuart Gilbert wm
