Hello guys!

I've already completed step one of porting my number from Celcom to Maxis in order to subscribe to the Nokia N8 contract from Maxis.

But before I make the plunge, with all the problems and drawbacks taken into consideration, is there ANYONE that is dissatisfied with their phone?

I don't wanna fork out RM1299 to regret the rest of my life. sad.gif

I'm fine with my phone and I believe I will use it for the next 2+ years.

I can only hope Nokia can release firmware update as soon as possible to fix some bugs and missing features (weak browser, no portrait QWERTY).

The thing you really have to worry is that Maxis contract.

Eh what's up with the Maxis contract?

From what I read here, not many people are happy about it. I avoid it like a plague.

In what sense?

So you mean purchasing the phone straight from Nokia THEN subscribe to a plan from Maxis would be a better bet?

Choose it if

As long as your bill exceed the plan monthly subscription + data plan its a good deal because indirect you are given a discount.

Dont choose it if
If you call below your monthly subscription then in a way it becomes very expensive in long run.
Many complains their data plan shoot up to skyhigh in their billing. Most consumer are not that tech savy to know how to turn it off. Like the Nokia N8 it keeps finding ways to connect to the internet via widget, via games, via applications, via web browser, via gps and etc as long as u disable it properly you dont have to worry.

Ha means you have to overuse it to actually profit from it? rclxub.gif

I actually don't plan to use the data, but because its compulsory with the contract, i really don't have the choice..and i'm not a heavy user anyway so it's all good i guess.

How to disable them before Maxis saps the money out of me?

I intend to subscribe to the value plan 50 + 500mb data if that's any useful info.
