On 24 months contract of DG Smart Plan 68, the Torch 9800 is offered at RM979, while the Bold 9780 at RM879 and Curve 9300 at RM379. Outright, the 3 are offered at RM1600, RM1312 and RM876 respectively.

They are giving 30x Curve 9300, 20x Bold 9780 and 10x Torch 9800 with one given out daily. For more info on the FREE BlackBerry offer, head over here.

DiGi is giving a special offer when you can buy 3 BlackBerry devices for the price of 2. The offer which runs from now until 31st August 2011 is applicable for BlackBerry Torch 9800, BlackBerry Bold 9780 and BlackBerry Curve 9300.
2 of the device must be tied with a DG Smart Plan for 24 months and it can be registered under 2 different names. This promo is only available at DiGi Retail Centres located at SohoKL and Bangsar, which makes it out of reach for those outside the Klang Valley.
There’s also another catch with the offer. The Free 3rd BlackBerry unit is not covered with warranty as written in their FAQ:
Q6. Is there a warranty for my free BlackBerry® device?
A6. As per usual procedure, phones that are free-of-charge will not carry a warranty.

U Mobile is on a roll today after announcing its long awaited HSPA+ service. Now they have also announced a range of phone bundlings that’s tied with different plans and contracts.
Some of the bundle offers are the same such as the BlackBerry Curve 9300 and Bold 9780 going for RM90/month and RM142/month respectively with 12 months contract of U Mobile BIS Plan. The U Mobile Huawei MiFi too is the same at RM210 with U Broadband plan.
What’s new is that U Mobile is offering an Android device, the HTC Wildfire for only RM199 with 24 months contract of U Premium Plan. We have no idea about this new U Premium Plan and it is not even on U Mobile’s website. In the previous bundling plan for Nokias, there was a PAYU Voice plan which is added on top of an existing UB68 data plan that looks similar with DG Smart Plan.
For those who want a cheap phone without contract, there’s the U Mobile SOU which supports 2 SIM and priced at only RM230 outright. For that price, it includes a U Mobile Prepaid starter pack, a RM50 top up voucher plus an extra battery.
Head after the break for more bundles of Nokia devices which includes the Nokia 7230, Nokia E5, Nokia X3 Touch & Type and Nokia C7.

DiGi is doing a special promo on its DG Smart Plan with selected smart phones which they claim to be the world’s best. For this promo, your first 6 months subscription can be as low as RM23/month which is inclusive of the RM5 rebate if you sign up for the auto-billing.
Basically what you’ll get is RM40 rebate for the first 6 months of your subscription if you sign up for DG Smart Plan tied with a 24 months contract. This offer however is only applicable to HTC 7 Mozart, BlackBerry Bold 9780, BlackBerry Torch 9800 and HTC Desire HD.
After the 6 months, you will be charged RM63/month. The additional discounted rebates according to the T&C still apply. THis means if you plan to get 100% discount, you only need to spend RM22 on your voice calls, instead of the usual RM62.

UPDATE: U Mobile offering FREE 6 months subscription for early birds & U Mobile’s BIS service also available when roaming into Celcom 2G areas.
U Mobile now officially offers BlackBerry services and they had just started a firesale which people started queuing since last night. Those lucky ones in line are getting a BlackBerry Bold 9780 from as low as RM3. We are also informed there are other random lucky draws that offers the device for cheap at Berjaya Times Square.
Now the plans are officially out for both U Mobile postpaid and prepaid customers. As teased earlier, they have daily BIS at RM1.50/day, weekly BIS at RM10/day and monthly BIS at RM40/day. For other data usage including tethering and video streaming, U Mobile charge 5sen per MB which is U Mobile’s latest PAYU data rate similar to TuneTalk.

UPDATE : Just before 12:00AM, there’s already a queue of 20+ people at Berjaya Times Square for the U Mobile BlackBerry Sale. Pic below after the jump.
UPDATE 2 :: U Mobile replied to our tweet on whether there will be any bundled plans for BlackBerry devices and whether the BlackBerry Torch will be offered. Answer is no for now.

UPDATE 3:: As there’s definitely more than 20 people standing in line at the Boulevard of Berjaya Times Square right now, your chances of getting a Bold 9780 for RM3 is pretty much zilch but U Mobile says you should still drop by and take a look at what they have to offer tomorrow as there will be a lucky draw where the winner gets to purchase a BlackBerry for RM3. U Mobile didn’t however say which BB specifically.
U Mobile will be launching its BlackBerry plans tomorrow and along with it the operator will be offering the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and the BlackBerry Curve 9300 at crazy prizes.
U Mobile had earlier put out a teaser about its BlackBerry sale but not much details on the service plans were revealed. Building up to the launch tomorrow however, the U Mobile Twitter account have been providing some clues of what you can expect at the sale.
We’ve scanned through U Mobile’s Twitter timeline and have some interesting information about tomorrow’s launch to share with you.

U Mobile has finally joined the BlackBerry bandwagon with a special firesale on BlackBerry Bold 9780 and BlackBerry Curve 9300! This also makes U Mobile, the 4th option for BlackBerry BIS service in Malaysia.
During the firesale, U Mobile is offering the Bold 9780 for RM3 for the first 10 in line. The next 50 people can get the Curve 9300 for RM33 and the subsequent 50 for RM333. Do note that this is only happening this Friday, 21st Jan 2011. To be entitled, you would need to sign a minimum 12 months contract with any voice plan and add-on BIS service. There’s a RM250 advance payment required up front which will be used to knock off your future bills.
The BIS service costs RM40/month and it is mentioned that Internet Tethering & Streaming is not included. Details of their BIS plan is rather limited at this point and we’re not sure if there’s an all-in-one BIS and internet plan for power users. The Blackberry offered comes with 18 months warranty from Brightstar.
