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.

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.

Blackberry Bold - Maxis VS Celcom package plan

Since iPhone most likely won’t be around ‘legally’ at the moment,  lets jump to another cool gadget from RIM, Blackberry. Well yeah, only Blackberry Bold manage to give Apple’s iPhone 3G run for their money.

Celcom’s plans looks more attractive than those offered by Maxis. Celcom didn’t mention if their data plan had included Internet/WAP service, even though I believe so but if it is otherwise, Celcom plan is surely less attractive than Maxis. Instead of price, sometime it is the quality of service that determi
