The DiGI iPhone Package

Apple iPhone enthusiast are all abuzz with Digi's latest advancement in making themselves an authorized dealer for the Apple iPhone. Most are very keen that Digi will offer much more value for better service, hence at the same time making Maxis iPhone deals seem a little wee bit expensive than ever. Well, their expectations were right, when this leaked information on Digi's iPhone package was released yesterday, with a direct comparison with Maxis iPhone package.

As you can notice, Digi is offering what Maxis is offering at double the price, and they are also offering the iPhone for a 24 month loan period for selected credit cards. This automatically makes the iPhone very much affordable to many.

Digi's official site has yet to release any pricing details officially, but the site now states that the iPhone will be made available for those whom have pre-ordered, while other users can get the iPhone from selected Digi Service Store after 3 April 2010 with limited stocks made available although I believe stocks will be made available through the year.. According to the FAQ, Digi is only offering the iPhone with contract, and to Digi customers. With that said, who want to enjoy the Digi iPhone package has to sign up with Digi.

Streamyx Block Buster Deals

Streamyx is coming up with tonnes of promotions to maintain their share of the huge untapped broadband market in Malaysia. They introduced the COMBO package in 2009, and this year, the Block Buster Deals was introduced.

If you are one of the many Streamyx customers which had previously changed to Streamyx COMBO, then prepare to be disappointed because the new Streamyx Block Buster Deals (BBD) are better and far cheaper.

A quick glance of the package will easily mistaken you with the COMBO package as the price is similar, and there doesn't seem to be much of a difference. however, a closer look will reveal that the call rate are cheaper, and you can actually save another RM10 a similar package.

E.g:

Get the Streamyx COMBO for 512kbps + the add-on Pakej RM10(for free local national and local calls, and RM0.30 to mobile numbers), and you end up paying RM100 per month.

but

The new Streamyx BBD, and you pay RM90 only, with lower calls to mobile numbers.

Regardless of that, the new BBD packaged isn't for those interested in the 384kbps speed as Streamyx has decided to do away with the unlimited internet use for this speed. The previous COMBO deals featured the unlimited usage of the 384kbps internet speed at RM60, but with the discontinuation of such package, budget Streamyx broadband users will have to go for the RM20 for 10 hours usage.

More information on Streamyx BBD can be seen in the image below:

And if you are wondering about the catch of the BBD package, then I have to disappoint you because as you noticed, the terms and conditions which are stated in small fine print letters below the package details are just too blurred out to even recognize, and what more say to read. Nonetheless, you could call 100 for more details on the package.
