One of the products launched during ‘Buy Malaysian Product’ opening campaign is a mobile phone, called Ad-Deen Q292, a product of Ad-Deen Technology Sdn Bhd.  Ad-Deen Q292 is Islamic themed mobile phone with Islamic related features such as Qibla, Prayer times and etc. Comes with 3 colours, the phone is retailed at RM399.

According to Ad-Deen’s Exceutive Director Megat Radzman Megat Khairuddin, the company targets to sell 40,000 units phone this year in Malaysia market alone. They have also received booking amounting 200,000 units each from Indonesia and Dubai. That’s quite an achievement for new mobile phone players like Ad-Deen Technology.

Very little is known about the mobile phone itself, neither Ad-Deen Technology nor the mobile phone has its own website. But I can guarantee you that no Snapdragon or AMOLED capacitive touch screen exist on this model.

One interesting fact is, one of Ad-Deen Technology directors sit in CSL Care management board, which tells us that both companies have some sort of relation to one another. CSL Care is the largest mobile phone OEM manufacturer in Malaysia, so there is a possibility that this phone is co-developed by both companies with CSL taking care of the manufacturing and retails while Ad-Deen is more towards its contents development.

Update 22-March-2010 : It appears that Ad-Deen Technology is the subsidiary of CSL Care, and it’s official webpage is here.
