do it need the voice plan + data plan together that according to their website!
http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/android/A...id_Packages.asp

Not understand why they can't bundle voice plus data plan for SGT? Singapore has larger market for us?


After looking at singtel plan, i wanna cry!!! Our telco is damn expensive.. Digi doing good job (atleast improving) on their offering .. but very limited choice of phone and phone price still so so only., No SGT. If digi has a SGT plan similar to their iphone4 plan, I would sign up rite away!

I wish i can find a way out of maxis!!!! Think soon.. Just this SGT package may tempt me to stay with them for another 12 mths. sad.gif
Buying outright looks very costly but if u can have a good offer from fren, then should be nice..

yes depends on own needs..

I m still a bit worry abt maxis bill shock.. I do recoomend to subscribe the 3gb plan for peace of mind.. wink.gif

For those boughty with maxis, no worry lar. Maxis coverage still the much better than digi. The value for sgt not too big difference between maxis and digi..

and yes gaming is so much better!

the phone function is bit tricky for me.. I think it is only make sense with a BT headset.. The battery has been ok, Heat is a minor issue here.

And android has been really great! So far lagging is still acceptable! One thing i really hate is the speed of the map, maybe will another map apps to compare to the stock.

And guys please root and prepare to spend more time to testing apps and customize UI to fully utilise ur tab and android.

One particular app i really loves to recommend is the wifi file explorer. You can access , transfer file from ur pc to ur sgt thru ur wifi connection. Work flawlessly. There is a free version available in the market. Try it now.

So far loves it..

It is based on oneself.

If OK to carry a small sling bag / waist bag all the time then it is advisable. Otherwise if you have a big pants pocket and don't mind the discomfort then it is alright also. The phone is a bit hassle during driving since it is too big, there aren't many place you can put it unless you have a holder.

Another thing is that SGT too big for 1 hand to type SMS/Email, it is too slow and often make mistakes. Leather case is a hassle if SGT is a phone. You can't type SMS properly since you need to open the leather case and fold it over to use with 2 hands thus thicken the hold. Email is same issue. If using the SGT on horizontal / landscape, you can't see original message (Android is not ready for tablet  doh.gif ) except for keyboard and texts you typing. I prefer typing in portrait mode.

Be warned, if you use it for quite sometime. You will feel 3.5~4.3" LCD HP is too small !!... and cannot satisfy you anymore. For me it is very hard to go back and my next phone has to be 7" again...  sweat.gif

Anyway, to me the benefit of having a single device defeat all the hassle. I seldom use my laptop nowadays, except during office hours. Most of my internet related stuff I can do with SGT including work related stuff as well. Entertainment is superb on SGT as LCD and speakers are excellent quality  thumbup.gif .

When using Dolphin HD to reply lowyat.net forum message, often hang and force close. It hang on stock browser as well.
So now use Opera, very stable. I think it is browser webkit engine problem, since both using same engine. Anyone having same experience?

Me too I had some issue on surfing to lowyat forum too with tab. But it tends to load heavy. So i tried Opera, it is better. I mostly use Dolphin HD.

Anyone tried skyfire?

tablet is mainly portable for reading and entertainment device.
Still a long way to replace netbook if it ever will..

I never liked netbook anywhere, since some i3 and i5 laptop is also quite affordable now...

guys, i have to say i m bit relieve(or rather shiok sendiri), after so many launches at ces yesterday, and not forgeting the honeycomb preview. The better ones notably notion ink and xoom are 10". So SGT will still the 'most' powerful 7" android tablet for a little bit longer atleast this quarter.. wink.gif So we all still be fine this year..
but pray hard we will get android 3.0 aka honeycomb later this yr...

NOTE - about the honeycomb video, i still think 2.2 and 2.3 is good as it is so flexi for us to customize, but think the UI in the video is stock. It should be more flexi in real life... After watching most videos on notion ink,playbook and now honeycomb. I feels sick seeing their UI, acted more like a digital photo frame.... just my stupid thought.
