Motorola Defy is the latest addition to the growing list of Motorola’s Android smartphone model in Malaysia, though some may still wished that it is Droid series that making it’s official appearance here. Officially released in Malaysia this evening, Motorola Defy is the fist rugged smartphone running on Android available in Malaysia, if I recall it correctly. The stellar feature is the scratch proof display screen thanks to Corning Gorilla glass, water resistant and dust proof.
But put aside the rugged features, Motorola Defy itself is pretty gorgeous phone. You may mistakenly thought this is HTC phone at a glance. The size, dimension and button are pretty close to what HTC smartphone used to be. Or does all phones looks the same lately?
There are long list of spec, but to cut it short, this phone comes with 3.7 inch screen size with 480×854 resolution, 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, 800MHz TI OMAP3610 core processor, 512 RAM and 2GB internal storage which I think is too small even for smartphone nowadays. And sadly, it still running on Android 2.1.
Motorola Defy will available before Christmas although no specific date given. Recommeded retail price is RM1599 but it will available that Maxis for RM999 with plan.

Seagate Ships Industry’s Highest Performance “Green” Desktop Hard Drive
Barracuda Green features Seagate SmartAlign technology for seamless transition to 4K sector desktop hard drives
MALAYSIA, 15 December, 2010 – Seagate today announced the availability of the Barracuda Green hard drive, the industry’s highest performance eco-friendly 3.5-inch desktop drive for low-power personal computers, multi-drive home networking systems and external PC storage.
The Barracuda Green hard drive, formerly Barracuda LP, combines the industry’s highest spin speed (5900 RPM) with Seagate’s SmartAlign technology to deliver best-in-class performance. SmartAlign technology enables all the benefits of the new 4K sector standard while simplifying drive installation by eliminating the need for utilities often required to ensure optimum drive performance. The cool-running, lower-power Barracuda Green hard drive delivers whisper-quiet acoustics and helps reduce system costs associated with the fans and power supply devices often required for power-hungry systems.
Barracuda Green hard drives also support Seagate Think Green programs for a greener more sustainable world:
• 70 percent or more of the materials used to build the drive can be recycled.
• All Barracuda Green drives use low halogen components to reduce the negative environmental impacts related to these substances.
• Barracuda Green is designed and built to the highest environmental standards.
“Not only do Barracuda Green drives offer environmental improvements in power consumption and material usage, but these drives are also among the first hard drives from Seagate to offer SmartAlign technology,” said BanSeng Teh, vice president and managing director of Seagate Asia Pacific and Japan. “This is important because the industry is transitioning to 4K sector formatting called Advanced Format to improve capacities and maintain strong error correction. However, the transition to Advanced Format without SmartAlign technology can be complex and require additional integration steps and software utilities to avoid performance degradation. SmartAlign technology removes these concerns and makes this transition virtually invisible for our customers.”
The Barracuda Green hard drive, offered in capacities of 2TB, 1.5TB and 1TB, is now shipping to the worldwide distribution channel
Except iPhone, I never see any newly released smartphone sold out immediately. Well, that’s just happen to HTC Mozart 7, the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone available from Digi which was released couple of days ago. I don’t know for sure if this is actually true or just marketing gimmick or perhaps due to limited stock Digi has in hand. But if you really want this phone, it looks like you got to wait.
Price wise, it is pretty reasonable, starting from RM1249 with 2 years contract. And with Digi Smartplan for sure. After HTC HDC 7 which available exclusively at Maxis, HTC Mozart 7 is the 2nd smartphone running on Windows Phone 7 available in Malaysia. The third would be LG Optimus 7 which will be available at Celcom soon. How is your experience of using Windows Phone 7 so far? Are you happy with it?

Guess what, one the device offered in Celcom Year End sales is Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet, making it second carrier after Maxis to offer the tablet. And unlike Maxis which subsidized the tablet price only based on the contract period, the package offered by Celcom is vary, based on contract period and monthly commitment. Price begin from Rm1368 for 18 months contract with Rm250 monthly commitment, which is the lowest you can get.
If you prefer low monthly commitment from RM78 permonth, Galaxy Tab is priced at RM1828 for 12 months contract. It is actually slightly cheaper than Maxis package which priced at RM1849 for the same contract period (12 months) with Rm108 (voice + data) monthly commitment.
That’s why competition is good for consumer.
