Cheaper DG Smart Plan By DiGi From RM38/month

Nicholas Chan — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:48:57 +0000

Cheaper DG Smart Plan By DiGi From RM38/month – To join the competition with other telco, DiGi is now lowering its DG Smart Plan to as low as RM38/month for 1GB quota.

The famous DG Smart Plan 68 has lower the price to RM53 too, while DG Smart Plan 88 is now RM73. These price are after auto-payment by credit card. The subscription looks good now, but then you are tied to a 12-months contract. If you terminate before you reach your contract period, you have to pay RM100 termination fee.

DiGi’s data plan is cheap, no extra charge after quota which is very good, however the line is not as good as Maxis & Celcom. Nevertheless, I still find its better because it does not over charge you for using over the quota.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Plans By DiGi – I was actually thinking to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, the size is great for travel, the Super AMOLED Plus 7.7 inch screen is so awesome, with dual core processor and 3G.

DiGi Tomorrow Network – Upgrading To LTE

Nicholas Chan — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 11:12:47 +0000

DiGi Tomorrow Network – Upgrading To LTE – DiGi is currently upgrading their network to the 4G LTE network and it’s a good news. Meaning that super high speed Internet access will come to mobile very soon. LTE is the true 4G network, it’s not like the same as P1 4G WiMAX or Yes 4G Broadband, LTE is the next generation’s mobile network. Heard about GSM? LTE will be the replacement of GSM. Heard about TM’s Unifi fiber optic network? LTE will be like fiber optic for your mobile.

Well, there’s no exact date of LTE launch by DiGi in Malaysia but what is known is that they are upgrading their cell tower and network throughout year 2012 and will be ready by 2013. Another telco that will be providing LTE is Maxis.

It’s rather slow here in Malaysia as Hong Kong and Singapore has already launched their LTE service. However, to fully utilize LTE, one must have a LTE-enabled phone.

One thing, will the next iPhone/iPad has LTE support? That’s a good question for Apple. Check out www.digi.com.my/tomorrownetwork/ for more info.

Hands-On Samsung Galaxy Note

Nicholas Chan — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:49:43 +0000

Hands-On Samsung Galaxy Note – I believe many of you have heard about the Samsung Galaxy Note, amaze with the super big 5.3″ Super AMOLED screen with 800×1280 pixel (~285 ppix pixel density), dual core processor as well as the S-pen capacitive pen input. Well, I have tried it and I am quite surprised with the phone too.

Looking from far, it looks just like a typical huge screen Android smartphone or an enlarged version of Samsung Galaxy S2. Physically, it looks good without holding it, but, when holding it on your hand, the weird feeling came.

It doesn’t feels good holding it on one hand. Your fingers just won’t cover the screen, typing with one hand is a real pain and you can hardly reach the top notification pull-down bar with a typical Asian’s hand. Well, I assume this device is a two hands operating device, it’s a no for one hand. I thought it is just slightly bigger than the Samsung Galaxy S2, but comparing side by side, it become so much bigger than the S2 which already known as a big device.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 runs on 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A9 Dual-core processor which supports multitask and 1080p recording very well with a 8MP camera, as well as a front face 2MP camera. The main feature of the phone is the S-Pen Stylus which allows you to draw and write on the huge screen.

Surprisingly, the S Pen Stylus is very sensitive on the screen and is so much better than the stylus for the iPad/iPhone. It has a sharp tip which makes writing and drawing on the screen more precise.

The keyboard is the standard Samsung-modified Android Gingerbread keyboard. Typing on it with two hands are quite smooth, probably due to the huge screen, yet it’s not as good as the iPhone’s keyboard.

In term of battery life, it has a 2500mAh removable battery. The large capacity battery doesn’t really improve the battery life of a smartphone because it uses more juice to power the large screen and the dual-core CPU. One thing I did not mention is that the weight is quite light and very thin too given its huge size outlook.

So, should you buy the Samsung Galaxy Note? In my personal opinion, I think it’s rather too big to put in the pocket. it’s more for business centric person where a phone doesn’t slide into the pocket but instead kept in a belt pouched. It’s just doesn’t feel good on one hand. It size in between the Galaxy Tab and a normal huge screen smartphone. I would rather go for a Samsung Galaxy Tab if I would’ve wanted a large device. Alternatively, you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy S2 which stores well in your pocket.

The Samsung Galaxy Note is available on DiGi and Celcom at a discounted rate.
