Maxis’s Blackberry Bold 9700 Postpaid and Prepaid Packages

Getting a decent Blackberry package with great device and cheaper BIS package seems to be easier now compared to 4 months back, when prepaid Blackberry segment does not yet exist. Consumer is obviously the real winners here when carriers or telcos giving huge discount on the device and data package, rewarding customers with package, discount call and etc.

The latest offer from Maxis in conjunction with Chinese New Year is a real deal if you want to try Blackberry. Maxis who seems to be loosing its shine lately up the ante by heavily discounting newly released Blackberry Bold 9700 device, if customers are willing to pay the monthly fee for a year upfront.

If you’re following Blackberry Bold release closely, you may be aware that Celcom is selling this device at RM998 for the first 150 lucky customers last week, a super good deal as this is top of the line device from Blackberry.

From that promo onwards, this device is being offered at RM1588 or RM 1388 depending on the package that you choose, which is slightly subsidized by Celcom, from its RRP at RM1988.

There is installment plan available as well for those who prefers that payment method. Both offers require 12 months commitment. Head to this page for more info.

Blackberry Bold 9700 Now Available At Celcom & Maxis

bb bold 9700 Blackberry Bold 9700 Now Available At Celcom & Maxis

If you have been waiting impatiently for the new Blackberry Bold 9700 to land in Malaysia, smile… because the waiting is over. The new Blackberry Bold 9700 is now officially here, via Celcom and Maxis.

Celcom is going to have Celcom Blackberry Party (Celcom love party!) at La Bodega, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on 15 Jan 2010 to introduce this device. If you can’t find the reason why you need to be there, here it is.

Celcom is giving 50% discount for the first 150 customers, which I’m sure will be sold like a hotcake. FYI, Celcom RRP is at RM1988, meaning that you only pay RM988 to get hold of this beauty. Be sure to read more about it here, as the device comes with data & voice/sms plan, as well as advance payment.

As for Maxis, I’m not sure when it is going to hit the store, but you can start to pre-book the device from their signup page. No price, plan, advance payment is available at the moment,  except RRP at RM2099. No special offer except that, the first 300 customers will bring home free Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset.

However, I’m positive that Maxis has launched (probably internally or invite only party) this Blackbery Bold 9700 together with the new Blackberry Storm based on the the party photos that you can search in Facebook.
