U Mobile Hints Possibility of Nokia Lumia 800 Plans

When an operator talks about a device on its official social media sites, you can pretty much bet that the operator will offer plans for the device. That’s what U Mobile is doing with the Nokia Lumia 800.
We noticed that U Mobile has been talking a lot about the Nokia Lumia 800 on its official Twitter account and that’s an almost certain sign that the operator will be offering plans for the device very soon.
In terms of pricing, while we don’t expect a great deal of difference in the subsidised pricing of the device itself compared to what other operators offering, you can expect U Mobile to offer its trademark high data quota plans at rates lower than industry standard

U Mobile now offers 7″ Huawei tablets with mobile broadband combo for bundle. The Huawei Ideos S7 Slim and Ideos S7 are offered at RM1,650 and RM1,188 respectively which is inclusive of 12 months subscription of MB68 that comes with 5GB of monthly data quota. As the mobile broadband subscription is worth RM816, the S7 Slim effectively costs RM834 while the S7 at RM372. To make ownership easier, the tablet+data subscription combo is payable with 12 months easy payment installment via credit card.
In terms of specs, both S7 Slim and S7 runs on 1Ghz snapdragon processor with a 7″ screen that pushes a rather low 800×480 pixel resolution. However in terms of dimensions, the S7 Slim is obviously lighter and slimmer than the S7. Despite being slimmer, the S7 Slim has a bigger capacity battery at 3,250mAh compared to the S7′s 2,200mAh.

The highly anticipated iPhone 4S was launched in Malaysia with the 3 big telcos offering iPhone 4S contract plans. While the plans offer all round bundles of text, sms and data, some people out there aren’t too keen with the contracted offers.
With Apple Online Store also offering the iPhone 4S outright from RM2199, consumers now have the freedom to choose other plans that suit their needs. It is also worth pointing out that the Apple Store is selling the 32GB and 64GB versions at a lower price compared to the listed RRP from the telcos.
