Will there be a launch party? Will they give out free xboxes?

The lady at the Nokia store in Pyramid hinted there would be freebies, she mentioned point blank that in sg got give out xboxes... but wouldn't say if we get anything like that :S

I'd still like to be there for the launch, would be fun

Hey guys, the official Lumia RRP and Windows Phone Market details- http://www.malaysianwireless.com/2012/02/w...lumia-malaysia/

Happy Reading..

Support Marketplace but don't support the OS itself?

I think Maxis (and all the other carriers) should seriously create web versions of their VSC/USM/Star code thingy, since *100# completely doesn't work on WinPho. (and won't work on iPad too since you can't dial)



RM1650 does seem like a very competitive price. The old estimate was definitely too high, because if they ever introduce the Lumia 900, it would have to be priced well above that of the iPhone.

Carrier biling information sounds weird, shouldn't be enabled just like that without MAlaysia being a valid country. Oh well.. we'll see.

The freebies are monster headset and ms arc mouse for 1st 100 buyer...hmmm

official price released...Lumia 800 will be at RM1650

and marketplace will be available soon.. http://www.malaysianwireless.com/2012/02/w...lumia-malaysia/

if that is the price,i think Nokia will gain back some market share in Malaysia

Nice! Marketplace enabled. How do I change my Marketplace region to Malaysia again? Lol.

Is Windows Phone 7 upgradable to Windows Phone 8?

hi guy, any news on a white lumia 800 for malaysia??
Australia gettin in march

I think it is upgradable but the performance will be slow down a bit

this is nice price!

Already planning on selling my Radar when Apollo phones hit the shelves. Definitely won't spare any cash for a Nokia this time around. Hahaha.

From what i've read it looks like it may be exclusively in Oz. But then again who knows.

tonight going to test how powerful is this fon..huhu~~

Not as good as a free xbox : /

It's really too bad that the Lumias still don't have Internet sharing enabled. Renders it quite worthless for me since my phone is my only source of Internet connectivity. (my roommate never paid the unifi bill)

Actually u can use ur phone as modem and let ur pc online via bluetooth...not necessary use hotspot =)

Can't do it with the Lumia officially yet

I never attempted to Bluetooth pair my phone with the laptop. Seems kinda pointless. I also have an iPad though so it needs my phones hotspot to go online. either way I'll wait for Gen 3 windows phone before upgrading
