Hmm. Maxis huh? If you were to get it off contract it will be nice. the wildfire is okay, but the resolution of the screen. doh.gif
Liquid metal FTW man. Better specs. Acer < LG in terms of quality afaik.

Liquid Metal is the best 1.2k range phones thus far. 2nd gen Snapdragon at 800mhz which is the same as the 1.9k Desire Z. And it is a farking Vanilla phone. Want me to relist the pros and cons again?
Pros:
1:Vanilla.(Means its a phone without any additional icons or skins. Its just pure android. This is what Nexus S and Nexus One uses. There is actually something called Breeze UI installed but you can disable it. Thus, granting the Vanilla)
2: 800mhz 2nd gen Snapdragon ala Desire Z
3: Dedicated camera button.(Very few Android phones have this IIRC)
4: Nice and vibrant screen though its TFT. Its a 3.6". Perfect size IMO.
5: LED notifications.
6: Nice loudspeaker
7: 800x480 at this price range is quite rare. So i guess its a pro.
8: Aluminium back cover
Cons:
1: Laggy Breeze UI. Can disable in favour of Vanilla.(95% favours vanilla doh.gif)
2: Its an Acer like people said. Personally i don't think this is much of a con as HTC and other major phone brands are Taiwan made too.

Sums it up i guess. I can't think of much cons for this phone. Perfect for its price. Comes with 8gb microSD from gtrowa.

Not necessarily you have to sign contract to surf internet everywhere. Just get a data plan and its all well. If you can't get the phone you want then don't. If you don't mind, go for available phones. IMO for Maxis you should go for Motorola DEFY.  flex.gif  Waterproof and shockproof is quite alluring.
*
o.O so u suggest me go get a android phone which not given by maxis
den sign the data plan with them ???
if liddat buy the android phone at outside and sign data plan with maxis
den i need to ask recommendation :
1. Brand - Any
2. Budget - RM500-700
3. Specs - processor good,RAM good,OS version 2.1,screen size as big as possible
4. What you need in the phone - Touch witz,long battery life

Impossible for your specs at that price range. What you pay is what you get. If possible you can go for installment, increase ur budget by another 500 and get the Liquid Metal. Another option is the Optimus One with no flash player. Touch Wiz is for Samsung phones only. Its a preinstalled UI.

ooo
but u confirm sure can buy the android phone at outside
and sign data plan contract with maxis ?
if really can i think i buy LG optimus 1 p500 ~

DiGi smartplan also got maa... tongue.gif Anyway, heard some people kena raep by Maxis kaw2 one. Rather suffer EDGE speeds at some places than kena raep.tongue.gif
Desire wins.

lol if just wanna buy an android phone and go chg to digi
i dun think i will do it

QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ Jan 24 2011, 08:23 PM)
Confirm. Data plan is different from the phone.
Desire. Better software support and definitely has Gingerbread upcoming in a few months. Multitouch as an added function for most games and smoother web browsing. Better build and more compact. IMO its the perfect size for a phone. 4.3 is too big, 2.8 is too small. Overall it wins in EVERY category except for the camera department. SE phones always have good cameras.
*
but i just ask the maxis about this question via twitter
they say once u wish to sign contract with maxis,
must go maxis/MEP sign ~
about the android phone buy at outside and sign the data plan i asking them ~

Up to you bro.. icon_rolleyes.gif  Don't say i didn't warn ya...  whistling.gif

And usually you can get the plan/contract by going to the telco center.
And sometimes just subscribe, no conracts. biggrin.gif
*
huh just subscribe at maxis/MEP without contract ?
that means i at any time and cancel sign contract with them ?
and another thing,no sign contract how i use my phone surf internet o.O

lol, not exactly, according to their rates you have to pay more for data..  shakehead.gif

Thus, if you want the iPhone plan. Do as the steps above.


Added on January 24, 2011, 10:02 pm

Both available for AP sets. Desire Z already got ori sets, not that sure of the price for ori though.

AP prices:

Desire Z : ~RM 17XX
Milestone 2 : ~RM 1800

From their site, i see the rm50 plan dun have internet. sweat.gif  Have to add the data plan internet usage.

So it's technically rm 50 + 58 per month.

i tot oni rm50/58 per month

LYN garage sales is the place, IMO, Desire Z is better, feels more classy.
