QUOTE(sbd @ Oct 30 2010, 03:33 PM) I "throw away" their data package, i.e. don't use it. If I need to use in an emergency, I still can use and surely won't use more that 500mb so there you go. I really don't dare to use Maxis Data Plan..charge me RM100++ within a month even though I'm the Value First user and use 3G network only to check 4d result. since then, I never browse internet through my phone and my bill keep less than RM40.

QUOTE(basSist @ Oct 30 2010, 03:17 PM) becareful of the maxis data charges.. it will be more than the actual RM2699 price after 2-3 months... experience yourself. good luck. if i disable data usage, how can they charge me a cent above the rm48 per month? I would like to see them try that and they will be in trouble with the MCCC Added on October 30, 2010, 4:53 pmQUOTE(basSist @ Oct 30 2010, 03:41 PM) https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1614498refer to this post. try to keep ur sim card for 1 month see if u get any extra charges. i would like to know as well.. if i disable data usage, how can they charge me a cent above the rm48 per month?

Googlemap, it will download the map as u move.... thats why. use something else.. like papago.. or use brutmap...google bit then u will know.

Hi folks,
Anyone got info on whether any accessories are available for the tab? Anyone can confirm if low yat is selling Tab accessories? I'm trying not to use online purchase for them if i can get them locally.
so far the tab has performed wonderfully for what i need, which browsing the net & checking emails.I ditched the standard browser & am using dolphinHD browser. Surfing websites are a breeze & smooth.
Haven't used the camera function or video calling as haven't had a need for it as yet. Using the youtube app to watch videos is smooth & clear. google earth is excellent as well. Will try & give a more in depth review of the Tab when i get more time to although i'm no whiz. So far its been positive for me

Some bad reviews over it i heard With regards to battery life, its too early too tell. at present i can get about 5hrs of continous surfing. From my understanding, your mobile battery will reach peak conditioning after about 2 - 3 weeks with proper charging cycles. I believe there some discussion on phone battery life on XDA & some people who seem to be in the know had mentioned this. As with both my HTC Legend & Desire, i found that following this method, my batt life went from about20hrs ++ initially with light usage, to about 2.5 - 3 days after 3 weeks.
