i paid using credit card...
the first payment includes only the price of the phone

Added on June 27, 2010, 7:20 pmTo buy with retail price, the calculation will be
Phone: 2599
Data (DIGI) : 68*12 = 816 (1 year)

so total 2599 + 816 = 3415 (haven't include your call charges yet)


With Maxis Contract
Phone: 1699
Data: (50+58) * 12 = 1296 (1 year)

total of 1699 + 1296 = 2995 (and my data plan is actually 48 due to the discount)

well...with maxis Rm58 plan you can't tether though

can tell me how much we need to pay to maxis for the 1st time to get galaxy s? is it 1699+(50+58)=1807? or need other payment?
and another thing, can me change my data plan within the contract period? i want to try 58 data plan for 1st month, and if it not sufficient for me, i want to upgrade to 78.

I pay for the phone only when i was there....not including the data plan

and you can't change your plan within the contract period

the rm58 dataplan can't tether and is only for 500mb per month. Maxis policy on exceeding your monthly quota is to charge you for your excess download (diam diam la...). digi rm68 package can tether, plus its monthly quota is 3gb..Additionally if you exceed your quota, you wont get charged, just throttled down to 128kbps. Quite fair, imho.

i can tell you, 500mb is quite insufficient even if you are a casual user.

that's why i am quite pissed that maxis grabbed the exclusivity. never been a maxis customer before, and becoz of this phone, first time calling their customer service to enquire.

...can explain to me how the packages work?...er wait ah sir, i'll have to check. can i put you on hold for awhile? (yeah the awhile turn out to be few minutes)

...can tell me where are the location of maxis centres in penang? ...er wait ah sir, i'll have to check. can i put you on hold for awhile? (another minute of thumb twiddling)

...ok then, can tell me if they have stocks at the centres? ...ah cannot sir, you have to go there and ask them.

...ok fine. please give me the maxis centre phone number? ...errrr, sorry ah. our centres dont have contact numbers


so yeah, a big FU to maxis.

i suppose if i cave in to the temptation and finally get this phone, i will probably pay the RRP. or get someone to "joint venture" and share the rm900 discount with me getting the phone and him signing for the package. (any takers? )

or wait a while for the exclusivity to expire and pray that digi gets in on the action

or get an AP set.....

sigh...

wow suddenly so many users in 1 day..lol
congrats and i will join soon

anyone galaxy s update to android 2.2???

haha, 2.2 is not even OFFICIALLY out for a particular phone

yo, many new member bought galaxy s already .... congratz ... , maybe have to add user list on first page ... .....

lol, do it TS..and maybe add some FAQ?

Digi is focusing on iphones at the moment....

Well....let's see how it goes...
I'm a first time smartphone user so didn really know what i need...and it is too late to go back to change my package, else i will get the 1.5GB one

Most of the time i will use wifi, and i don't tether much anyway. And I don't need "constant update" on all those sync profiles, so i guess/HOPE 500MB is good enough, else i will have to bare with it for 1 year.

Anyone can list out d differences between galaxy n desire?

hardware better..performance better...except led notification and led flash, UI, etc
i think u can find the answer at previous page dude...

can anyone teach me how to check data usage for maxis? XD

just now tested galaxy at sunway...
a bit lag if compare to iphone... but quite light weight n feel comfortable in palms...

Can download those in Samsung Apps also but got Malay dictionary not English

Download Net Tracker from the marketplace

Edit: Noticed that the T-Mobile version has 4 capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen unlike our version.
