The Desire Z is covered with a 2 year warranty as confirmed by Maxis via twitter. Interestingly the Desire Z comes only with a 12 months warranty which is less compared to the older HTC Desire and HTC Wildfire that had 24 months warranty.
Also making an apperance is the rugged Motorola Defy which was just launched in Malaysia 2 days ago. In case you missed it, do read our Motorola Defy first impressions. On contract, it goes RM1299 over 12 months, RM1149 over 18 months and RM999 over 24 months duration.

At the same time, Maxis also has started bundling entry level Androids which includes the Huawei Ideos U8150 and Samsung Galaxy 3. The Huawei Ideos with RRP RM899 goes for an affordable RM449 over 12 months, RM399 over 18 months and a bargain basement RM299 over 24 months contract. For the Samsung Galaxy 3 which goes for RM1099 outright is offered on contract at RM649 over 12 months, RM549 over 18 months and RM449 over 24 months. The Galaxy 3 too was offered recently by DiGi with contracted price from as low as RM349.
Looks like the big 3 telcos are rolling out a huge arsenal of Android devices ahead of Christmas. Check out more information on Maxis’s android offers at Android Connection page.

DiGi has added a couple more devices ahead of Christmas with 2 Android devices from Samsung and finally a Windows Phone 7. The devices come bundled with DG Smart Plan contract with monthly subscription of RM68/month. Now they are giving extra RM5 off if you opt for auto-billing which brings it down to RM63/month.
For the Samsung Galaxy S which goes for RM2599, DiGi is offering it for RM1799 over 12 months and RM1499 over 24 months subscription. As comparison, Maxis offers it for RM1699 over 12 months and RM1099 over 24 months with its usual Value Plus and bolt on data plan.

For those who want something more affordable, there’s the Samsung Galaxy 3 which is a entry level Android which runs on a 677MHz processor with Android 2.1 OS. It has a 3.2″ screen that does 240×400 pixels. It does look similar to the Galaxy 5 but this looks like a notch higher with its bigger screen and support for larger expandable memory. The Galaxy 3 goes for RM1099 outright. On contract it can be yours for RM599 over 12 months or RM349 over 24 months.

The next device comes as a surprise as finally DiGi offers a Windows Phone 7 with the HTC 7 Mozart. Outright this Windows device goes for RM2099 and on contract it is priced at RM1499 over 12 months and RM1249 over 24 months contract.
