3 Reasons Why Malaysians Want to Buy Singapore iPhone 4 Posted: 23 Aug 2010 01:48 PM PDT Malaysia: Malaysians have been waiting for iPhone 4 from local telcos, Maxis and DiGi, for months but still no sign of release date. Here are the reasons why Malaysians want to buy iPhone 4 from the neighbor country, Singapore. 1. Malaysia iPhone 4 not available yet It is now 24 August, a month since both Maxis and DiGi announced their iPhone 4 register of interest pages, Malaysians are still waiting for their iPhone 4. Maxis teased us that “iPhone 4 is coming very soon” in early August. But still no word about release date. 2. You can buy Singapore iPhone 4 online Singapore Apple Online Store is selling unlocked, contract free iPhone 4 on its website. Malaysians could ask their relatives or friends in Singapore to help to order iPhone 4 online. Waiting period is 2-3 weeks. 3. Singapore iPhone 4 is CHEAP! Even IF Malaysia iPhone 4 has been released, you might also want to consider buying a Singapore iPhone 4, because it is the 2nd cheapest iPhone 4 in the World (Hong Kong iPhone 4 is the cheapest) See the image above. Singapore iPhone 4 16GB is SGD$888 (around RM2050); iPhone 4 32GB is SGD$1048 (around RM2418). For comparison, the Maxis iPhone-3GS-not-4 32GB without contract is RM2990. My two cents Ever since Maxis and DiGi announced to offer iPhone 4, I keep getting questions about the iPhone 4 release date. Too bad, I have no little bird inside the telcos to leak any info. Here I predict that Malaysians will get iPhone 4 in September 2010. If Maxis and DiGi do NOT offer iPhone 4 in September, they might lose many customers: some buy iPhone 4 in Singapore; others can’t wait and switch to Android smartphones. Don’t you agree?

1Gbps Broadband Service in Malaysia for $64 a month Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:02 AM PDT Malaysia: Don’t you hungry for fast Internet speed? Unifi 20Mbps broadband is nothing if compared to the 1Gbps broadband service launched by Vasseti Datatech. The 1Gbps broadband is available at three condominiums in the city — Capital Square in Kuala Lumpur, The Loft in Bangsar and the Suasana Sentral Condominium in KL Sentral. The 1 Gbps broadband will be offered at RM199 per month and does not include any data cap. 1Gbps broadband at only RM199 per month! That’s paying the same money as Unifi VIP10 package but you get 10x faster broadband! Malaysia average broadband speed is only 2.31 Mbps. How fast is 1Gbps? By theory, 1Gbps broadband connection allows you to download 128MB per second, download full disc of DVD video (4.7GB) in 37.6 seconds, fill up your 1TB hard disk in 2 hours and 12 minutes! 1Gbps is 10x faster than your 100Mbps home network! My two cents Frankly, I never heard about the Vasseti company. It is not a major ISP in Malaysia. I am doubtful. How trustworthy is the company and their services? If the service is real.. Hey, any room for rent in the 3 condominiums mentioned? I wanna move in there NOW! What’s your Internet connection speed now? I am on 1Mbps (hell, that’s 1000x slower than 1Gbps!)
