Maxis is offering a time limited sale on selected smart phones which offers lower monthly commitment than before. Usually Maxis bundle its devices with a minimum bolt on of 500MB data plan of RM58/month and this time, they offer more options with a much lower RM38/month which gives you 250MB of Data. For BlackBerry, the plan on offer is the BIS Entry of 250MB at RM40/month. This offer is valid from now until 14th August 2011.

Among the devices on offer is the HTC Chacha, the original HTC Wildfire, Huawei Ideos S7 tablet, Motorola Backflip and the BlackBerry Pearl 3G. The bundle pricing you see above are tied with a shorter 12 months contract period. Here’s the comparison of the minimum offer before and after:

HTC ChaCha
RM499 with 500MB plan, now RM799 on 250MB data plan

HTC Wildfire
RM699 with 500MB, now RM699 on 250MB data plan

Motorola Backflip
RM1149 with 500MB, now RM1099 on 250MB data plan

Huawei Ideos S7
RM1029 with 500MB, now RM999 on 250MB data plan

BlackBerry Pearl 3G
RM799 on BIS Pro (RM90), now RM1099 on BIS 40 plan

While RM38 a month is cheaper, it costs more per GB. Therefore those who will be highly likely to use more than 250MB/month within the 12 months contract period might want to look at higher data plans instead.

Maxis has thrown another Android tablet in the mix with the Huawei Ideos S7 tablet which is a notch lower than the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Outright, the Huawei Ideos S7 goes for RM1599 but on contract, it goes for RM999 over 12 months or RM899 over 24 months. To be on contract, you would need to bolt on either a 500MB, 1.5GB or a 3.0GB on top of a Value Plus plan 50 and above.

Spec wise, the Huawei Ideos S7 comes with a 7″ screen that does a modest 800×480 resolution with 262K colours and it runs on Android 2.1. It supports 802.11b/g/n WiFi and HSDPA up to 7.2Mbps. Other details such as processor and storage were not shown on their website. We will update as soon as we can get them.
