Today Nokia has the big 3 major telcos offering the Nokia Lumia 800. Apart from DiGi & Maxis, Celcom too is offering the Lumia 800 from RM998.

The lowest RM998 price is offered on 18 months contract of Celcom Exec 250 which comes with 5GB data.

Maxis has finally revealed its Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 contracted pricing from as low as RM799 and RM499 respectively. Without contract, the Lumia 800 is priced at RM1,650 while the Lumia 710 is at RM999.

The details from Maxis on the plan offering is rather brief probably due to time constraints. We assume that the Nokia Windows Phones should be bundled similar to Androids by committing to a postpaid voice plan (Minimum Value First) and bolt-on data plan.

You have a choice to bundle with either 1GB (RM48/month) and 3GB (RM68/month) data plan with contract duration of either 12, 18 and 24 months. For the Lumia 800, they are offering a limited time promotion where you can get it for just RM799 with 24 months contract of 6GB data plan at RM98/month. If 6GB is too much, the Lumia 800 can be yours at RM1099 with 24 months contract of 3GB data plan. For those that want to commit to a smaller data plan with the least contract time, it is offered at RM1,349 on 12 months contract of 1GB data plan.

For the Lumia 710, it is offered as low as RM499 with 24 months contract of 3GB data plan. At the bare minimum contract duration of 12 months with 1GB data plan, it is offered at RM799. It is also interesting to note that Maxis claims to offer the fastest internet experience of up to 14.4Mbps.
