...sorry i new...

Hi,
   Noted, by the way what is (Samba).I had sign up the notebook + HP package on 23/7/07. I called to Digi, they said need to wait untill HP & bank call me. Then, i call to HP. They said i will need to receive the SIM card from Digi first,+ bank called me only they can track my order status. Anyway, they had my name in their system. I really want to check & chase for the status.. Different people tell me different thing.. I like a ball being kick by Digi & HP. Digi * HP being such a big Co, but acts like a kid !!!

Hi all,

Hp called me for the upgrade of ram and extended warranty,

512mb ram - RM 140
3 yrs extended warranty - RM 220

So Samba is the 56Kmodem that comes together (build-in) in the notebook??Y can't install? Had u received your notebook & HP? Pls tell me in details from steps 1 to final steps. It is because, i call HP. They said, my name is in the system. But i need to get the Sim card first before they can proceed. Then i call Digi, they said SIM will ONLY issued after i got the goods from HP. So, who are correct?? Pls help me......It is already 7 days passed. I sign up on 23/7/2007.

anyone knows the price of samba, is it a usb modem?

hey its easy,

i hav a edge fone Nokia 7270i and am willing to exchange wif any samba users here. then the user can use nokia pc suit on Vista to get connected.............

Added on July 29, 2007, 9:56 pmAfter some survey, now i know what is Samba. It is a GPRS modem. But i have question here, don't our Free HP is an EDGE/GPRS phone. And i believe we can use the phone as a GPRS/EDGE modem and connected via USB cable or via bluetooth to the notebook(using bluetooth dongle). That is all ! Why we need to use the USB Samba modem?? And is the USB Samba given free?

eh, the Digi number u get nice or not? 014 or 016??

Yahoo.... just got my notebook and hp. I will drop by University Malaya (Varsity Communication) to collect my sim card tomorrow.

Thanks for yr info.

Yup i had tried all the tweak but to not much use. The truth is edge speed is slow and unstable. The data feed is inconsistant. So i believe it is almost impossible to play online game no matter what modem you use. Dun waste the money.

My update again. HP said they received my Bank payment already. But, have to wait for 14 WORKING DAYS in order to receive my goods. The system shown that notebook is out of stock & notebook is normally ship from CHINA. Mean, Made in China ! The i-paq too have no stock.

So i think those who order now have to wait... because NO STOCK !!

Wow, got a lot of difference!!!!

I used iPAQ 6828 to connect via usb, the download speed oso terrible. It takes more than 1 min to finish a 200k attachment.

I plan to buy a SE hp to replace this hp, anyone use se phone to connect b4?

Anyone of u have the digi center number in low yat ??I have subcribe the B plan in low yat since 21th july but dint receive any call from digi, hp or bank. I try to  call HP and DIGI this morning they said they cant retrieve my application, most likely the dealer havent submit my application

Does any one really try to run/edit/compile a home video editing using ULEAD video Stuio on notebook core duo ? How is the performance? How long it take to convert the video edited into DVD format?

My desktop running with AMD Barton 2500+, 512 DDR 400 RAM, IDE HDD 40GB. It takes about 6 to 7 hours for the conversion..

My question here is can a laptop Core Duo capable of doing it especially HP 520 with Core Duo 1.6Ghz (533Mhz FSB), 80GB SATA, 1.5GB DDR2 667Mhz SODIMM RAM(after updrade)?

how abt youtube no lag?

but the digi broadband, just 128kps only......
as slow at dial up connection.
and god dxmn, this promotions just for the new apply customers.
exist comtomers never get any benefit one.
wat the he||

I think the hardware spec for HP 520 laptop isn't that impressive. Just an entry level laptop.

Dear all,

Honestly, when I first saw the promo, the hp 520 laptop really attracts me .. to the extend .. almost wanted to sign up right away. But .. luckily still have a bit of doubt of the connection speed of EDGE .. that leads me to this wonderful forum ..   

Went to the Digi counter at Carrefour Kepong yesterday. They are having the setup using the samba EDGE modem, thus, I asked them to let me have a test on the speed. I ran the test a couple of times, was so disappointed that I can only gotten an average speed of 75 bps. So I checked with the salesperson who claimed can get 200+ bps in the beginning. You know what? He told me that the reception at Carrefour was bad and I cannot get an accurate reading. He suggested me to go to the Digi Specialty store near by (less than 1km away) to do another test. That's what my did. And .. guys .. I was absolutely shocked that I can only get an average of 45 bps in the shop which is not blocked by any other buildings .. and is directly facing the main road. They are using a SE phone to connect. Pathetic, isn't it?

The ironic thing is, those people who are working in the Digi Specialty store are not using EDGE to connect to the internet. Instead, they are using Streamyx. The lady told me they won't be able to do any work if they were using EDGE to connect, it's just too slow. Umm, I really wonder .. how could someone trying to promote something that they themselves refuse to use? 

Thus, I would advise all people out there, before you sign up for this promo, just drop by at a Digi outlet near to your home and test on the connection speed. I will definitely    if I were to pay a sum of RM 99 a month for a connection around 45 bps .. more or less the same like a dial up ... 

But .. if you think the deal is too good to pass .. and the slow connection is not really an issue .. then .. it's a different story .. but I just want to say .. "GOOD LUCK!!!" 

Hi,i have the Samba75.
Anybody want 2 buy or exchange?
