HTC Flyer with Maxis Ultimate Solid Plan

Days ago,Maxis introduced a group of new mobile internet plans called ‘ultimate plus,ultimate pro and ultimate solid,together with the official release of HTC Flyer.

With subscribing ultimate solid plan,customers could get an HTC Flyer with only RM195 cost after 24 months.Don’t be so happy since ultimate solid plan itself is not cheap at all.

That means you should pay RRP for HTC Flyer first when you subscribe ultimate solid plan and get RM96 monthly rebate for 24 months with actually paying RM152 monthly to enjoy the service.Most people still play with those tablets as sort of  entertainment devices on the go,I don’t think 16GB is really needed as nowadays quite a number of places have free WiFi connections.

Yes 4G is everywhere

I seldom talk about Yes 4G because till now I have’t had a chance to try the service.Well,it’s quite new compared with P1 4G which has been running this 4G service for years.However,Yes 4G is catching up as quickly as they can.Now the battle has moved to multiply platforms,including mobile advertisement.

Yesterday,when I started to play the latest Angry Birds Rio Beach Volley Update in my Nexus One,a pop-up ad came in front of me.I made a snapshot of it.

Wow,I felt so surprised that I could see this ad in a game. :)

Well,that also indicates that the management of YTL communication,the service provider of Yes 4G,has put great efforts on promoting it and intends to win the battle with an outstanding result.If there is no minimum RM30 usage monthly,I think I will definitely get one for spare use when I can’t get a good 3G reception on the go.

Now I’m just looking forward to see more flexible plans to be introduced. :)

[UPDATE]Maxis WiFi

TM runs Streamyx Zone WiFi service for years and now Maxis joins to provide WiFi service in public area too.Of course,it’s payable.

If you go to a place showing this logo,that means Maxis WiFi is available in that area.Well,I don’t think you could see this logo frequently as the service area is quite limited currently,most of them are shopping centers and commercial buildings.Sunway Pyramid,KLCC,Imbi Plaza,Menara Maxis,IOI Mall,Phileo Damansara,Jaya One are in the list.You could check more details here.

The service is only available for currently Maxis users(both prepaid and postpaid) and have several packages to choose.

I checked everywhere but found that Maxis didn’t disclose how fast the WiFi connection could be.Well,I think we have to wait somebody to test it later. :)
