At the moment which smartphone and tablet got 2600 MHz band that is available here in Malaysia?

well, i hope when they roll out ltd, then 3g data plan will reduce price a lot lot lot lot....

i cannot tahan with my crappy nokia already i been bored with my nokia after 6 months already haha...i want 2 upgrade 2 android soon with LTE lulz

P1 LTE not compatble with GSM telco LTE. P1 LTE will be backward compatible with P1 wimax 2.6 & 2.3ghz.

When ? 2020?
Which ISP got the Balls?

Hope dream comes true!

counting down.. few more days to go.. can't wait to see how are they going to market and sell it

I got 4 LTE modem all capable of detecting LTE

But I am not selected to be in the trial run

The add on of LTE means more competition which is good to push our current fiber operator to reach at least 50Mbps

I completely 100% agree with this. I'm 100% neutral and understand both technologies very well. But there is another user Ahn3hn3h who keeps giving wrong technical info to the public and saying that TD-LTE is way better than FDD. I dont know why he get so angry with FDD LTE, probably his dad sells TD-LTE device but unfortunately TD-LTE didn't get adopted as wide as FDD...

2 things you forgot (or probably you dont know):

1. DL & UL have different spectral efficiency.. DL can do MIMO spatial multiplexing and 64QAM, whereas UL can only do 1 stream and 16QAM. And because of this difference, the capacity of DL & UL in FDD will never be symmetrical (as what you claim). What I meant by spectral efficiency is "DL Spectral efficiency in LTE" and "UL Spectral efficiency in LTE". So if you compare DL spectral efficiency of TD-LTE & FDD, they are of course the same. Try answer this (any Telco RF engineer can sure work this out very easily): How many bits can be transmitted in a subcarrier in (i) TD-LTE (ii) FDD LTE for DL? The answer is the same for both. And same goes for the UL. Do you understand what is spectral efficiency now? Number of bits per Hertz. I guess you get confused with spectral efficiency and capacity.

2. True that TD is flexible, but you can't really have a different TD configuration (ratio) in an area, that will cause massive interference. So you'll have to stick to only 1 configuration, and if you want to change it, you will need to change in the whole network. You can have different TD configurations but you will need border in between the network area, e.g. TDD mode 1 in west Malaysia and TDD mode 2 in east Malaysia. You probably haven't come across this?

Let me guess, your resource and reference on LTE is only google, thats why your knowledge is so limited? I'm sharing with you what I've compiled from 3GPP specs the peak speed (MAC layer) of FDD and all configurations of TDD below. All are using total of 20MHz. Hope this is enough to open your mind a bit. I can also tell you which TDD mode is widely used, what makes their peak speed difference if you are interested to know. I can even share with you how to find 3GPP specs, if you dont know how to find them.

If you compare FDD 2x10MHz with TDD 1x20MHz Mode 1 (which divides the resource equally for DL & UL just like FDD), can you see that FDD gives more capacity? Do you know why? I can help to explain if you're interested to know more about resource allocation in LTE

FDD 2x10MHz              DL 75.4Mbps    UL 25.1Mbps
TDD 1x20MHz Mode 0    DL 38.3Mbps    UL 29.5Mbps
TDD 1x20MHz Mode 1    DL 69.4Mbps    UL 19.9Mbps
TDD 1x20MHz Mode 2    DL 95.6Mbps    UL 9.9Mbps
TDD 1x20MHz Mode 3    DL 95.6Mbps    UL 14.9Mbps
TDD 1x20MHz Mode 4    DL 112.3Mbps  UL 9.9Mbps
TDD 1x20MHz Mode 5    DL 125.5Mbps  UL 5.4Mbps
TDD 1x20MHz Mode 1    DL 53.8Mbps    UL 24.7Mbps

By the way.. how do you there is clash between east and west? Would be glad if you could share any readings on this..

Probably all 3 will launch at 12am?

Added on December 31, 2012, 10:11 pmLooks like Maxis 4G LTE is already commercially available http://www.maxis.com.my/4GLTE/main.asp?m=f

Check Digi and Celcom website, LTE commercial availability still not there

You guys can see at this link. Speed seems fast enough...

yea me too, anything lower than that is consider DC-HSPA+ era,.. 

"Elsewhere in the Southeast Asia region, Singapore's three mobile operators have already launched LTE services, with M1 the first to offer commercial LTE services in June 2011. In the Philippines, LTE networks went live in 2011." quoted from ZDNet.

Malaysia is such slow poke... 

800Kbps? Really? I just bought my iPad Mini together with Tablet Plan from DiGi (since I have to bundled with it) thru DiGi online store. But I always get 5Mbps at my home and 3-4Mbps when I went to Lowyat. So far, okay to me at all.

Sorry off topic. LOL!

This is a Huawei B593

Thought they have Huawei Ascend P1? I'm sure they will be more smartphones coming, but probably they didnt dare to say anything yet until they closed the deals with phone manufacturers
