Erm... this thread died again?

Posted by bodum
no it didn't, i'm back =)!

anyways i just got a new nokia e65 from '3' australia, in BLACK! =). feeling rather pleased with the phone now, more details can be found in my post in 'other manufacturers' section of the forum for anyone interested.

has anyone suscribed to the maxis 'my phones' package? if so, what phone did you get? i'm looking for those who got the e65? would be pleased to have a maxis theme and the customizations that goes with it. also, what are your thoughts on maxis' branding? anyone?

Posted by wrecked_porsche
Maxis 'my phones' package? Hmmm... What's that about?

Maxis branding? They do that here too? I din't know that they did that crap here too... is it as bad as the O2 and Voday ones of UK?

Posted by bodum
not so bad, i feel. just added settings and stuff like that. no superficial branding far as i'm concerned. there's only nokias and motos now though, although i have rumours from maxis center that SE is joining soon.

Posted by dj2004
hey im from malaysia and im using maxis & for the phone im using W810i i cant seem to enter GPRS for this phone i dont noe y[I Activated My GPRS + MMS READY]..i did all the settings mms + gprs settings i just seem to not get in..anyone can help me out here?:)

Posted by bodum
maxis you say? try keying in *133# and pressing send to activate GPRS services. for 3G, press *136# and send. the send button BTW is the one you use for making calls. for more information, you can visit http://www.maxis.com.my, failing all else call 123 to maxis service.

hope that helps.

on a side note, the w810 doesn't support 3G, only EDGE. maxis ATM doesn't promote their EDGE networks much, i have an EDGE phone but the settings doesn't work as well.

just thought i would like to share here on the maxis EAST MALAYSIA promotions. this applies to only east malaysians, who registered their phones in sabah or sarawak. the minimum pay per month is rm50, which is cheaper than p75 for those with low usage. however, here's the catch.

call rates, MMS, IDD and so forth and everything remains the same as p75. the only catch is that if you're in WEST MALAYSIA and making calls using the line, the cost is rm0.30/minute as compared to the normal rate (double...!). the only upper is that lower monthly pay, for those east malaysians on postpaid who don't call that much.

has anyone got any phones from maxis myphone package yet? please, do share. and please share any tips on lowering your usage, i.e. 132 IDD and so forth.

cheers!

its a pretty decent phone imho....nice form factor truly

Posted by bodum
is this thread dead?

anyways just a quick rant on maxis here. i just changed my plan to the east malaysia plan, since i don't want to have such a high commitment to phone bills. and then...maxis comes up with value50 which is exactly the same as east malaysia plan except it doesn't charge more when i'm calling from west malaysia (in other words, a true flat-rate nationwide). so that makes the east malaysia plan...obsolete? in only 1 month?!

i got a feeling the people at maxis is completely ignoring east malaysia. first 3G that took ages to arrive, now this. maxis, have you surrendered east malaysia to your yellow brethren?

i have to change plans now. again. bloody annoyed.

p.s.: been checking the myphones deals on maxis, it seems that some phones are even more expensive on contract (!) than the sim-free original packages. subsidies? what subsidies? get your act together, maxis!

Posted by wrecked_porsche
I guess this thread has died a natural death... Dunno where all the buggers have gone to.

Sim free cheaper than on contract? Bugger... Maxis people must be smoking crack.

BTW, I just love the DiGi advertisement where their yellow people thingy are getting stronger. Very creative advertisement.

Posted by bodum
yes, they spend quite a lot on marketing. pity though, that their customer service is the worst ever. for both their call center and walk in centers. i'm sick of having them hang up on my call when i need assistance, and i'm on digi business. sick enough to switch to maxis.

Posted by wrecked_porsche
WTH? what do you mean they hang up on your call?

Posted by Yoruichi
am in jb using digi with no probs cheap rates and good cust service. unlike celcom who double bill and fail to provide service not to mention lousy cust service when call or go to center. as to maxis too much spam sms , poor cust service. and when go to singapore seems only get roaming there with digi celcome doesnt work at all and maxis barely works and charges way to much.

Posted by bodum
well, their call center is notorious for turning people round in circles for one with their oddly long-winded computerized system. i took 4 minutes or so just to get to the part where i 'queue' to speak to a representative...they put me on hold for a bit, then just hung up. annoying? they just lost a customer there. it doesn't help that their call center doesn't have ratings system like maxis do.

I seriously doubt this thread can be revived again.

@Soichiro, hello dude, long time no see.

Eh my Uni campus is now just next to your workplace.

Posted by wrecked_porsche
But i dunno wtf we're gonna talk about. Are you guys till as nuts about phones as we were back then? I know I'm not.

Back then I was crazy for phones, but not any more. My modded K750i serves me very well, i don't see the need to upgrade. Well, at least until it dies on me.
There ain't much development in the past year or so... *yawns*
Same sh*t, different name. Boring....

But now I've stepped into the audiophile world... There ain't no coming back from there.... The website www.head-fi.org is pure evil... my wallet cries every time i log in there. But the $$$ spent is well worth it.

Posted by ShawO
oh well... remember when i was itching for the Nokia N76... heard so many sob stories about the paint literally *peeling* off that when Samsung announced the Ultra Edition 12.1 aka U700 i jumped!

now i'm holding an ultra-sexy phone riddled with at least a dozen dead pixels and it is something normal... ho hum!

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=1180407

ohya... sanj:
tht link u gave... i scrolled down to "Los Angeles Orange County Head-Fi Meet 8/19/07"
and hey ho, a collection of literally old farts...

ohya, i also acquired a Sony DR-BT30 which is like so damn cool

i pair it with my Samsung, it plays music with album art ala Windows Media Player, pauses when a call comes in and resumes upon completion.
recently i also discovered it works that way when i connect it to my laptop (samsung manages to sniff it out and connects anyway)
call me a "jakon" if the info above was a FAQ...

it just comes across as bloddy impressive to me

Posted by wrecked_porsche
Well, the Sony's you speak of certainly look nice. I wonder how they sound?

Maybe we should have a meet and you bring that along?

I'll bring my Audio Technica ES7.

I personally have always wondered if sound quality gets degraded when audio is transmitted via bluetooth...
I talking about audiophile definition of sound quality here, not the general population's definition of "good sound"... LOL I've never had high expectations for bluetooth audio anyway. Me thinks they will sound thin or hollow. I've always had this notion that most of the $$$ you pay for a set of BT headphone go into the BT part and not the actual audio quality part. Basically you're paying for the development of the BT tech they use in there. Just IMHO. But I'll reserve judgement until I actually hear one.

Oh yeah, regarding the old farts... Yeah, the pics freak me out too... But they sure as hell give great advice regarding audio stuff... Once you taste the poison, you'll want more. IF you're itching to taste some, get the Audio Technica ES7 or Equation Audio RP21, both are closed circumaural headphones... they are about RM430++ liddat lah...
If you want slightly less expensive, get the Mylar X3 or XB, they are IEMs.... costs about RM165... I'm gonna listen to both these IEMs next week and listen for myself what all the hype about these two are about.

I'm waiting for my much more expensive set of custom made headphones to arrive in December, they're supposedly have bass like a woofer!! I'm a bass head, I can't help it! ... and I'm getting an amp next week too... Such is the curse of Head-Fi.

What? Your Samsung is full of dead pixels? WTF? Wat is the minimum number/percentage before you can claim warranty?
What do you think about SE's latest crop of phones? I think they are mostly just a rehash of last year's phones with a few improvements here and there... Nothing really ground breaking. What I'm waiting for is GPS and really good audio output from SE's phones + standard 3.55mm audio jack. Until then its a no go for me. The

phones audio quality maybe better than most of the other phones on the market, but they leave much to be desired when compared to mp3 players. I wish that SE would come out with something that could rival the Creative mp3 players or the Zune. I did NOT mention the iPod because I happen to think its crap. I talking about headphone out, not line out. The iMod uses line out, its a whole different story.

Speaking of line out, it'd be great if more mp3 players/phones have the line out as standard option.

Selamat Hari Raya to everyone

Posted by wrecked_porsche
Haiyah... I just went to Lowyat today, forgot to look and see if the K850 is out and how much it costs... DOH!

Posted by Yoruichi

Posted by mallaccra
I went to Mines yesterday and found out that the K850i will have a price tag of RM2k plus both for the Ori and AP set.................alamak can't afford lah!!!!

Posted by Yoruichi
ouch @ RM 2 K . can get cheaper in singapore saw it for S$450.00. new in box original. dunno why mobiles always cost more in malaysia..

Posted by wrecked_porsche
But the price sure drop quite fast wan lah... Just give it a couple of months...

Posted by mallaccra
Yaaap agree with you the price will drop in a month or two. Will SE Service Centre in M'sia service/repair fone bought in S'pore or elsewhere!!!

Posted by mode
Went to the Sony Ericsson shop in KLCC juz b4 raya and asked the sales guy when the K850 would be out, he said 15th October. What a load of bull, he also said the new BST-40 battery for P1 is not compatible with P990. What the hell is wrong with our salesmen these days, they're so uninformed and lousy at doing their job

Singapore cheaper? You sure? Where did u see it, Mustafa? AFAIK that's where the cheap phones are in S'pore

Posted by wrecked_porsche
I don't think that SE phones have international warranty. So I guess if you buy in Singapore, I THINK the service centres in Malaysia will charge you if anything needs to be repaired/have the firmware flashed etc...

Yeah, that sucks too

Posted by ryanchg
AP sets are around RM1730 in KL if you do a little more research you may get even at a cheaper rate.

Posted by wrecked_porsche
That's not a bad price.

Posted by mallaccra
............well still relatively expensive, better wait for a couple of months
