in malaysia have 3 major mobile phone services, cant say which is the best, the market is very competitive and they have their pro & con..
3G provider
maxis (GSM900) (prefix 012 & 017) – they have a very good marketing strategic brand. coverage is good in big cities, especially in west coast.
celcom (GSM900) (prefix 019 & 013) – they have 90% coverage of whole malaysia, included rural area in east malaysia.
up to EDGE/GPRS service
digi (GSM1800) (prefix 016, latest extension 014) – the 1st & biggest in prepaid service. they have quite good coverage also.
this is the prepaid package for the 3 companies..
maxis – hotlink
celcom – xpax
digi – beyond prepaid
you may check out the links below to compare the services and charges for your needs. personally, i'm using celcom019 and quite satisfied with their services.. :>
CDMA phones are those that DONT use simcards where as GSM phones are those that USE simcards…to get a new GSM phone you'll need to sign a contract with a GSM carrier, the rest they will tell you!
In terms of service I would rank AirTel to be one of the best Service Provider. However their coverage area is not as wide as the other service providers. This is quite evident in the south states, particularly in Kerala.
However with the expansion of another service provider, Hutch, with the aquisition of BPL recently, I guess they would give AirTel a run for their money.
The government run mobile service provider, BSNL, boasts about having greater coverage area than any other service provider which is quite true. They have coverage in almost each and every nook and corner of the country. However, their service is absolutely terrible. The only thing good about BSNL is their caller rates. It is quite cheap, but not for long.
In short, AirTel is the No. 1 service provider closely followed by Hutch which could replace AirTel as the leading service provider in the country in the coming years.

Does the bronze color have backlighting?
September 24th, 2009 - 18:44
no it's not true
we have both CDMA and GSM
Verizon Wireless = CDMA
AT&T and T-Mobile = GSM
I use T-Mobile here in USA

I don’t mind the HTC branding. What I hate is the carrier branding.
September 26th, 2009 - 06:03
I mean does the Bronze version have backlighting for the keyboard?
September 26th, 2009 - 07:02
in my opinion i think u should keep your LX, this phone has no 3.5mm head set jack, the lx looks better, and way simpler 2 use

I love Your videos

It means internet service, and if you buy it from a T-Mobile retailer, they won’t sell you the phone if you don’t pay for the internet.
