We’ve just received an alert from HTC Malaysia, they’ve reduced the price of the HTC Flyer from RM2,499 to RM2,099 with immediate effect. In addition to the new pricing, HTC will throw in a limited edition skin for free while stocks last. Head on over to after the jump to check out the skin designs.

We’ll come out and say it — the HTC Flyer is an under appreciated tablet. We like its features and we like the performance of the 7-inch tablet despite having only a single-core processor and not running Honeycomb. For HTC’s first attempt at a tablet, the HTC Flyer is a very polished device and there’s very little to fault. When we first had our hands on it, we lamented at how such a great package is hampered by a ridiculously high price. With a RM400 reduction in the RRP, it’s now that little bit easier to justify purchasing the talented HTC Flyer.

We’re wondering if the price revision will affect subsidized pricing for the device. Let’s hope so.

HTC Malaysia has announced that they are throwing a party next Tuesday, 21st June and they are opening 40 slots for you and a friend to attend.

According to the announcement, it looks like a launch party for several new devices. We wonder what will the devices be? The HTC Wildfire S has been announced earlier and is now bundled by both DiGi and Celcom. The HTC Salsa however has already made an appearance on DiGi’s Facebook SMS contest but no pricing or bundling details have been revealed so far.

Of course, not forgetting its current top of the range HTC Sensation, which had started selling in the market since 1st June at RM2299 outright. We believe it is likely a event launch for the HTC Sensation and with a possibility of a telco bundling plan as well.

It is also interesting to note that the event is a day before Samsung Galaxy S II launch at Midvalley.

If you want to be part of this event, quickly register yourself here.

HTC owners can now get professional technical support and training on how to make the most out of their HTC devices thanks to the launch of the HTC Training Cube at Sunway Giza recently.

The HTC Training Cube located within the premises of Cubic Platforms is a place for HTC users to get expert advice on their device while having one of the world’s best coffees. Cubic Platforms is the first and currently the only place where you can get Graffeo Coffee — which is included in National Geopraphic’s book “The 10 Best Everything”.

We’re no coffee expert but Cubic Platforms did serve up a mean latte during the launch of the HTC Incredible S last Friday.

For those who would like to jump on the HTC bandwagon, Cubic Platforms is an authorised HTC dealer where you can purchase the latest HTC device. Other than serving up expert advice and one of the world’s best coffees, Cubic Platforms is also an authorised DiGi customer centre where you can pay your bills and sign-up for news plans and what not.

The HTC Training Cube is located at Cubic Platforms, C-3A-1, Sunway Giza Mall, Jalan PJU 5/14, Kota Damansara, 47810, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

HTC today has announced the arrival of HTC Aria, a new addition to its line up of Android devices. It was first revealed as an AT&T exclusive device in the US and now it has finally arrived in Malaysia. This joins the recent Android offering of HTC Wildfire, Legend and Desire.

The HTC Aria’s specification is quite identical with the slightly older HTC Legend. It features a 3.2″ touch screen with a decent 320×480 HVGA resolution but there’s no mention if it is using SLCD or AMOLED. It is also powered with a 600MHz processor, 512MB of ROM and 384MB of RAM. For expandable storage it comes with removable microSD slot. The HTC Aria comes bundled with a 2GB microSD in the box.

The rest of the bells and whistles are standard such as Internal GPS, G-Sensor, 5.0MP Camera, 3G with HSPA support up to 7.2Mbps, WiFi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP support. The OS installed is Android 2.1 Eclair with our favourite HTC Sense.

Strangely, the HTC Aria uses a smaller 1200mAh Lithium-Ion battery which is lower than the 1300mAh version used on the HTC Wildfire and Legend. So in a nutshell, this looks like a HTC Legend with a new design and a lower capacity battery.

The HTC Aria will retail at RM1799 at participating dealers and it will also be made available at DiGi Centres & Specialised stores in early September 2010. No bundling details have been revealed and we believe this will be similar to DiGi’s HTC Legend bundling on DG Smart Plan.

You can get more details on the HTC Aria here.

No matter how you look at it, you can’t fight the Android invasion. Google’s underdog mobile OS is taking a big chunk of the smartphone market which has long been dominated by iPhone, BlackBerry and devices running on Symbian.

Most of these smartphones however are too expensive for mass market with price tags of over RM2000. Not a lot of people are able to fork so much money, but many want to get their hands on a device that at the very least, can deliver a good browing and social media experience. This opened up a market for entry-level smartphones that right now has been dominated by Nokia which admitedly, have been doing a good job at offering competent semi-smartphones at bargain basement prices powered by Symbian.

But the semi-smart Symbian phones that Nokia are churning out doesn’t really cut the mustard for us. The lack of applications is a major disadvantage. So we turn to Android, the open source mobile OS that has so much potential to be great but again we’re limited to high-end devices at the moment. Is there such thing as an affordable Android phone that’s cheerfully cheap yet delivers the functionality of the higher end Androids?

With an attractive pricing and a decent hardware, the HTC Wildfire certainly looks like a strong candidate to play that role, but does it deliver the goods? Read on to find out.
