I am in the same situation, deciding between streak and the sgt.
I have an ipad but i wanna try out some android gadget as my main communication device and development.

So far i am more leaning to the sgt giving the steak screnn is only 5" not much larger compared to smartphone.

I only calls 2/3 daily

Anyone knows which maxis cc still carry stocks in kl?

Thanks

Benny spot on. Virtually spells out i wanna say abt ipad. I only had few mins with sgt, none with streak.

The main advantage of ipad over sgt imo is the browseing smoothness and ofcos coolness .. The rest is abt ios vs android.

Maybe i might asking too much to have a device to fulfill my needs to replace my phone and as a mobile device.

Yes, ipad basically is just a big ipod touch.

I would say if you own an iphone why not try an android tablet. Sgt is perhaps the best quality android tablet.. Maybe thing will change after coming chinese new year. If you can wait the best is stil wait for few more months. And the sgt will improves too. More tablet will be launching soon heard htc,acer,hp,asus all willing lining up their offerings soon. But dun bet they will be any cheaper than sgt especially when they reached malaysia.

R u thinking on the maxis plan, afetr looking at those plan, i say the price is ok, not that cheap. But still ok u can get it for rm1800+

Have u try the csl tab?

Now every phone shops r selling them oledi. But prices vary from 2.5k to 2.7k.. Stock ori or ap.
They will tell you stock limited... Not sure whether it is their sell gimmicks thought.

That's sums it up. Ios is for kids and android is for adults. Oh hope no apple fans are reading this.

Ipad is a cool product. Just that android gave us much more freedom and customizing, even u jailbreak it still not as same as android after root, the are so many ways we can play around with android. Whereas ios is just apps and apps and apps. And most good ones need to pay...

Switching from ipad to sgt, i think not. Even what i have said above, i still oves my ipad. Checking emails,browsing,reading has been too good. Way too convenient compared with laptop. but i can see myself using sgt along with ipad. I definatly will bring sgt out more often. The biggest reason is android, 7",light... These three reasons alone beat ipad hands down..

Price is the biggest argument thus far, but with maxis plan the price of sgt of rm1849/1749 looks not that bad. Considering most good smart phones are pricing above rm2k now.

Abt paybook, i m not sure. From all the info and watching their live conference. I still dun get it. I wonder what it can do ipad and android cannot. But i do see lots of things android and ipad should have advantage over whatever RIM gota offer. Maybe meego or windows tablet may be interest me more...

good news.. Then need to wait till next week.
Screw maxis for keep on over charge us.....

Yeah, i agree. But maxis isn't that great either. And the risk of bill shock.
Imo celcom is the best for data. But is not great. But better than digi and maxis.

I m mostly on wifi so hopefully digi doesn't screw up tio badly.

500mb is a joke lar if u wanna use for a tablet.
Even 10 mb is not enuf for a 5 min youtube video

Bill shock prevention plan so go digi or celcom...

Right now, i m really need to check my maxis bill ever month. They usually have few hidden extra charges..
Remember few yrs back, there got few ringgits of bogus sms charges every month..

Now most ppl got few hp# edi...

Maybe these internet device offer is a way for telco to expand their subscription base.. But rorcing new registration with another voice pavkage is totally bs!

But have u guys try maxis ipad data plan? Is is offer only microsim? Can use for sgt? Or we need a microsim card adapter?

U should know lar maxis..
They still think ipad is for super rich ppl..
So data plan must cater for them lor..

Me poor ppl so go digi lor.

Their broadband plan rite.?
I actually looking for the plan + sgt.

But both offering not that much difference. Maxis maybe slightly higher monthly fees.

Sgt think not officially out yet maybe next week or this weekend but think u can pre order now.. But not 100% sure.

Maxis now reduced the price for 24 mths to rm1699 limited time offer.

Called cs, he didn't mentined anything new beside desire hd..

So maybe need week or more to confirm.
Think still 50% possibiltiy digi will launch sgt plan..

Use earpiece. Or the best solution is with bluetooth headset

Finally got my sgt from maxis ttdi, still few more units available.
Cheap promo price for rm1699 till 8 january, but take note is only for 24 mths contract.

The sgt is quite an awesome device. The reported lagginess on browser isn't that bad imo. The 7" do have the good form factor. But i m ipad user so need to get use to the smaller screen especially on email and web browsing.. So i think i undersatnd some ipad users dislike of this 7" sgt. But if u really compare both, they have own advantages and drawbacks too. I can see myself using sgt more when out.. Just brief impression of few hours using.. Loving it...

Not yet insert my sim may try later today. Thanks

No, just the sgt price., think they charge 4% for easy payment. Pay with cc no charge.

Yes, but it is oredi included in ur monthly broadband bill...

I had used it as my phone for the past week, so far ok since i dun call that much.
And one thing for sure a tablet may not be totally replace ur netbook, should be compliment it.
Some basic doc processing is still fine, but not sure abt powerpoint..

But for email, web surfing, social networking or and some other basic tasks, it is more than capable. Much better compare to netbook. I suggest u check out youtube videos on sgt, then u can have better idea..

Maybe i put it in too general.. Yes portable and lighter..   
Personal preference, i would rather surf the internet and email on my tab rather than on laptop. But by no means it is to replace pc or laptops.. Actually i prefer surfing the net with ipad, but sgt is not too bad just need to get used to it due to its size.

Think most of us would grumble a bit during first few dys using it as internet device. 

Cheers mate.. I still have my laptop tho for my main work...
And yes the keyboard and mouse is definatly better lar.. Compared to sgt.
I m just trying a lot on sgt now try to make it as productive as possible.. Trying to do posting and blog and other stuff.. Still pretty messy and hard, but i can see this should be the way to go in the future.. Android and html5 needs to improve..

Added on December 21, 2010, 10:43 amDocument editing netbook still way better, sgt  is only 7" and no physical keyboard and mouse. Limited processing power...

Yes reading is super nice... Ipad would be smoother by mili - mili seconds..    but bit heavy. Sgt would be just nice to hold as ereading device..

---

Added on December 21, 2010, 10:48 amHehe... Yes, totally agree with u.. Tablet is not yet ready to replace netbook.  But i think eventually will..
But laptop will survive, but not netbook. Personal opinion...
