Please advise/comment. if you want a good data plan, like even when you are in the building toilet you can easily get coverage get maxis. if you only need data in two houses, get streamyx on both the houses instead of going for digi pun intended This post has been edited by aeronic: Aug 1 2011, 10:22 PM

Getting Started

|
got my phone not through maxis. after thorough research about one week i decided not worth rm200-400 saving in phone price for maxis contract because i need to pay monthly at least rm98 per month. better i get digi 300mb since i only use edge connection for corporate mail. unless u haven't got any data plan currently and this is your first smartphone, don't buy through maxis =) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by kokokranc: Aug 1 2011, 10:42 PM

If staying in KL or JB., much better use Umobile prepaid like me. Only RM28 per month for 500mb + 100 mins call + 30 sms
Easy with no headache or worried about hidden charges ~~ lol ~~

Real powerful device, lol.
Sometimes I think that the SGS2 is actually overpowered. Even underclocked to 800-200 and undervolted, it's never slow, never laggy and generally quick. There's never a problem with RAM either.
Sure, the battery generally sucks IN USE (not asleep ya), but really, a couple of spare battery solves THAT problem. I have the battery case and unless I really REALLY use it (like full on constant 3G browsing), my spare battery never even gets used.
And, truth be known, while whites on our SAMOLED+ screens can be jaundiced (a tad yellow) from time to time, the blacks just make every other device out there s,eem, well, grey. And this is prolly the main reason why I just can't put down the SGS2. Try using it in the dark with a black theme and everything just melts into the screen edges.
AND never before in my 10++ odd years of gadget use has that happened. This alone is worth the admission price IMHO.
BUT, back to my main point, yeah the SGS2 has yet to encounter something that can choke its innards, and sometimes it feels like you're driving your kids to school in a Lamborghini - so much untapped power wasted just like that.
Hopefully ice cream sandwich makes better use of this awesome power.

Just make sure you check the new set first before you bring it home. (hint : *#0*#)

For those who are using Celcom in Klang valley, how is the reception compared to Maxis? taking into account the 3G reception as well.
Considering to switch over because monthly bills on Maxis getting too high, and this is only for 500MB.

A RM2K flagship phone should be in mint condition free from any defect when it came out from the box. Anyway the choice is yours. Good luck :-)
