December 16:A big day for Maxis,Celcom and Digi

What’s that day?If you’re an iPhone fan,you may also know it.Yes,iPhone 4S will start to be sold by those 3 mobile companies at the same day.That’s the very first time.

We can imagine that the competition among all mobile companies will be explosive,so maybe as a consumer,we could expect a better plan to bundle with the latest iPhone.

Maxis and Digi had started to ‘register your interest’ from days ago while Celcom also publicly announced the date of sales.

Just wait and see which mobile providers could offer a better value of service. :)

U Mobile is upgrading network in Klang Valley

In the past several weeks,quite a number of U Mobile users complained about the slow speed of network.Some people said that the ISPs in Malaysia always did like that-good at the beginning and turning to be worse and worse till the end.

Well,U Mobile is approving that they are not like that.The speed in many areas has been improving dramatically and even better than before.Therefore,I guess the service downgrade was because of the upgrade work doing during that period.

According to my recent tests,I could get more than 2-3Mbps(more than 4Mbps at midnight) for download and 1.5Mbps for upload when I was travelling along old Klang road;at the same time,I tested the speed on DiGi network and only got 500Kbps for download and 120Kbps for upload.

As a new mobile service company,they’re doing great.Of course,they also have a long way to go,such as expanding 3G service area,enhancing their customer service quality and support special code message etc.I’ll be keeping eyes on them. :)

DiGi Internet Plans for iPad

DiGi designs a group of new plans dedicated for iPad data users.It’s starting from RM30 postpaid monthly with 500MB quota and exceeding usage will be charged at RM0.05/MB,capped at RM90.Other 2 plans are RM58 and RM88 postpaid monthly with 2GB and 6GB data volume without additional charges for exceeding quota,however,speed throttled.

DiGi also provides a prepaid option here-a microsim pack costing RM25 including 5-day internet pass.What you need to be noted is DiGi prepaid Internet plans only providing download speed up to 384Kbps even though you’re under so-called Turbo3G coverage.

Do you like the new plans?For me,it’s not attractive at all.

White iPhone 4 finally landed at DiGi

DiGi is the first mobile service provider to open registering of interesting of white iPhone 4.However,it’s not the first to sell it.In fact,Maxis and Celcom have sold white iPhone4 for more than one month.Well,finally DiGi has got white iPhone 4 in the stock room and officially sell it from this Saturday at Center Court in Suria KLCC.

All plans are the same as the black version of iPhone 4 eventually.Customers can opt to buy it with cash or credit card for the phone(RRP-discount) and make monthly charges OR buy with credit card installments for 24 months/36 months(selected banks only).You could check for the details of payment methods here.

Is that worth buying it now?I think it’s up to you.From the latest WWDC,we can’t imagine too many changes from the next iPhone,at best,a faster processor,better display quality,nicer camera performance and minor other performance enhancements maybe.So if you wanna chase for the advanced one,you’d better to wait for some months,probably until the end of this fall;otherwise,buying it now should not bring you too much regret.

Girls,most of you prefer this white iPhone 4,right?Remember,you could get it from DiGi promotion event at Suria KLCC only from 11 to 14 June,10am-10pm,but not yet available in those DiGi center. :)
