Oh, no. I am on Fire! Hehe… I just got myself a Kindle Fire from Amazon. Not getting it from Amazon US directly since I want to have Kindle Fire as soon as possible (don’t want to wait for another 2 weeks shipping time). Therefore, I bought it from Lowyat Forum Malaysia locally. Kindle Fire will keep me busy for months because I got lot of stuffs to learn again. Hmm… I planned to get Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Asus Transformer Prime. But both of them are still not available in Malaysia. Have to wait until early next year. So I got a budget Android tablet ~ Kindle Fire instead…

I am thinking of getting Samsung Galaxy S which is one of the best Android phones out there. But Apple iPhone 4 looks interesting too. And I did not use Apple iPhone at all. Apple iOS vs. Google Android. Which platform will grow even further?
While searching for Samsung Galaxy S price in Malaysia, I discovered Apple iPhone 4 price in Malaysia too. Wow… Based on LowYat website, Apple iPhone 4 16GB is selling for RM3300 (US Spec) and RM5350 (Sim Free – UK Spec). In addition, there is no warranty covered. Another thread that I found that have cheaper price, Apple iPhone 4 16GB for RM2800 and Apple iPhone 4 32G for RM3200 (both unlocked). But you can only get it after 18 September 2010. By this date, we can all get it from Maxis or DiGi.
So are you willing for pay higher price to get Apple iPhone 4 now? Or wait for Maxis and DiGi Apple iPhone 4 packages? Or just get Samsung Galaxy S instead? 
Samsung Galaxy S is one of the best Android phones out there. And Maxis Malaysia is having promotion ~ Samsung Galaxy S 8G version for RM 1699 when you sign up its voice plan + data plan for 12 months contract. In addition, you can get RM10 rebate for the data plan up to 12 months. Sound like a good deal, right?
How much is Samsung Galaxy S sold out there in Malaysia? Based on Lowyat forum, you can get it ~ 8G version @ RM2000 and 16GB version @ RM2250 for original set (not AP).
Okay. Let’s do a comparison. Let’s assume that we have Maxis RM50 postpaid voice plan already. All we need to do is adding the data plan in order to get Samsung Galaxy S from Maxis Malaysia. There are 3 data plans ~ 500MB @ RM58, 1.5GB @ RM78 and 3GB @ RM88.
HTC HD2 lovers that still don’t get their phone yet. Here is another video clip for you. It will keep you alive a little longer until you get your HTC HD2. Yeah… Malaysia buyers will be able to get it by next week @ RM2799 (latest price at LowYat).
Finally, the wait is over. HTC HD2 landed Malaysia in the end. I have been monitoring the HTC HD2 price in Malaysia lately at LowYat forum @ RM3288 and RM3088 pre-order with deposit RM300. Got another one offers price is perfect match with the launch price @ RM2899 and with free 8GB card too. Yeah… It is still expensive for a phone but below RM3000 already.
