DiGi iPhone & Nokia N900 *Updated*
by isaac on Mar.15, 2010, under Mobile, Thoughts
The iPhone is not something new, but it’s now being offered by another telco in Malaysia, DiGi, breaking the monopoly of Maxis. Kind of excited but not because of the iPhone, but because it’s DiGi. I’ve been a DiGi user ever since I got a mobile phone back in 2001, so yeah I’m biased but then again, they are the ones that always bring new perks to prepaid plans that the other two telcos conveniently copies & modifies. Also, DiGi advertisements are a blast to watch, darn creative & funny. Ok, back to the topic. DiGi is still hashing out their iPhone plan rates but they have already launched their pre-order page for the iPhone. Now would I have enough blind faith in DiGi to pre-order the phone without having seen their plan rates yet? Oh yes I would! DiGi even just recently posted on Twitter asking what bugs us most about current iPhone packages & what we want most from the new DiGi iPhone plans. Love how they embrace the social community.

Then there’s the Nokia N900. The Nokia superphone. This is a phone I’ve been waiting to see, not to buy, but to test. 
I really like what I’ve seen with the Maemo OS though & now finally we can pre-order this phone too. Price of the phone is RM2280, where I was expecting it to be. The first 300 ppl to pre-order will get a free “Nokia Extra Power DC-11? worth RM278. Kind of like a charged up battery you can use to charge your other mobile devices. Would I get this phone instead of the iPhone? Yes I would to be honest! Unfortunately, my current financial status doesn’t allow it. So I’ll settle for testing it only, for now.

Unfortunately it seems that at current time & date, 15th Mar 2010 11.20pm, the N900 pre-order site is down. Overwhelming response maybe? I’ll update this when the situation changes.
So what will it be for me then? iPhone? N900? What do you guys/gals say?
UPDATE 17/03/2010: Ok the Nokia N900 pre-order page is back in business! So anyone who’s interested, go fill up the form & cross your fingers!
