after lunch hour..

currently test using nokia 6120 classic..

previous test using zte mf622..i

have made comparison between ZTE mf622 and nokia 6120 classic several times recently..

indeed nokia 6120 is better for EDGE..

dunno why..

anybody care to explain?

if u want to use with it EDGE only, i suggest u to buy EDGE-enabled phone instead opting for usb modem..

and i would like to suggest u Nokia 6120 classic..

i already check in website mobile88 it is GPRS/EDGE class 32..

while ZTE MF622 is only class 10 or 12..

trust me higher class makes a quite big difference for the speed..

i'm using nokia 6120 classic right now instead of using zte mf622 which i keep for future use with 3G/HSDPA (wait till them mature enuf)..

with nk 6120 i can easily get 29 kB/s but with zte mf622 i usually only manage to reach 21 kB/s..seldom only i can get 29 kB/s..

when im in GPRS area, i managed to get up to 6.xx kB/s with consistent 5 kB/s, but with ZTE MF622 the speed fluctuate from 5 and 1.5 kB/s..for example it stay on 1.5kB/s for half an hour and then change to 5kB/s..then when u r idle for like 2 3 minutes it will fall again to 1.5kB/s..headache right?but with nk 6120 u wont encounter this problem..

THE BEST PART is when im in EDGE area, sometimes i forgot i'm using EDGE, i tot i was on 3G!!! (from my experience, sialcom way slower than EDGE coz it was so unstable)..

so did i answer your question?...

p/s: check this website Comfort Surf
if u still want to buy usb modem, opt for one with class 32..zte mf622 is good for EDGE but not so good compared to nokia 6120 classic

Added on July 11, 2008, 12:58 am1 - depends on ur usage..if lite surfing after 1 hour still full bar....if heavily download after 1 hour half bar already..rough estimation la..mine is AP set 5 months of age already..maybe the battery is not so good already

2 - sorry i dun get ur question?

3 - if u r on power supply, sure no prob even though for heavy download..errr did i answer u rite?

sorry i'm not really an expert in technical thing..juz basic2 only ma..

in a nuts shell, if u have the phone charger with u, juz plug in to ur phone, switch it on and u can fly (ok dats too much)..juz glide with DiGi EDGE to your heart's desire..in other words, till u feel like vomiting on ur laptop..

Added on July 11, 2008, 1:12 amyup really nice for EDGE..if only i can find cheap EDGE datacard class 32, i dun have to use this phone for this purpose only

Added on July 11, 2008, 1:49 ami heard somewhere if u want to get 384kbps for EDGE, u have to use EDGE datacard provided from Digi..izzit true?anyone know which brand/model for DiGi EDGE datacard?its specifications?

Added on July 11, 2008, 2:09 amnothing to boast with GPRS but currently i'm under GPRS area and here's the speed i got



44kbps = 5.5 kB/s

Though it is slow but it is very very stable..not during this hours only..most all the time..at liz in my place..

Can still check email, login in ym, surf lite website.....most importantly can still login into LYN..

Is it this one?



owh u want to use usb port to charge ur phone at the same time..

good, can travel lighter..

how much is the price of the cable now?i'm also interested

Testing speed in Sungai Petani on my Nokia 6120 classic just now

Result:




So so only but upload speed is amazing

yup, i cannot argue with u about that..those can be factors of why u cannot get the optimum speed..

perhaps im in a less congested area..bcoz of dat im able to get nice speed all the time..

juz when i switch the simcard from zte mf622 to my nokia 6120 i can immediately feel the difference in terms of speed..not only one occasion..many2 times i repeat this at different times...and i get the results better with nokia class 32..

i feel that nokia 6120 can grab data more readily compared to my ZTE..mayb it got better antenna im not sure..its hard to explain coz im not a technical expert..but from what i experience im confident to say that nokia 6120 performs better than my ZTE for EDGE..

class 32 = up to 290kb/s

class 12 = up to 230kb/s (if im not mistaken! )

dun blame me pulak if u dun get good speed after u buy it..i have no intention to influence anybody..juz sharing my experience with EDGE users here..

rm12 is not including the postage rite? huhu better i look arounds the shops first..c if i can get the same or cheaper price...

soul2soul,
are u sure there is university student package?never heard before.if true, RM30 is so cheap

z3171600,
u have to be postpaid user but u can subscribe to data plan only which is RM66 only plus 5% tax.it doesn't matter when u register coz u will be charged based on the day u used only for the first bill.and fyi, u can choose the date of billing..there are 3 dates u can choose..mine is every 23rd..cannot remember the other 2 dates..if u want 2 subscribe,juz go to digi centre...forgot to tell u, for data plan only, there will be no bills..only e-bills which u can check in DiGi OCS website...hope i answer u

proactive or prorate?i'm confused
