New 3G iPhone officially announced, 8GB Starting at USD199. July 11th, but not Malaysia!

2008-07-19T10:09:00.000-07:00

Phone, iPod, Internet, and more.

Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again.

It's been a long, leak-filled wait, but Apple finally took the wraps off its 3G iPhone. Thinner edges, full plastic back, flush headphone jack, and the iPhone 2.0 firmware -- Apple's taking a lot of the criticisms to heart from the first time around. Obviously 3G is at the forefront, but they're also making sure it's available all over internationally, works with enterprises, runs 3rd party apps... and does it all for cheaper.

Apple claims its 3G speeds trounce the competition, with pageloads 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750 -- and of course it completely trounces the old EDGE data. Battery life isn't getting put out to pasture though, with 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio. GPS is also a go.

Apple is using A-GPS, which supplements regular satellite GPS data with info from cellular towers. WiFi data is also worked into the mix, which should give users a pretty solid lock on where the heck they are on this planet. Unfortunately, there's no front-facing cam, which syncs with what we were hearing, but is still a little disappointing. Apple hopes to launch in 70 countries this year.

8GB is available for $199, 16GB for $299 -- and the 16GB comes in white. Both pricepoints require a contract. Apple will be hitting the 22 biggest markets, including the US, on July 11th. More info after the break.

Update: Just bought an iPhone? Listen up: "Customers who purchased a 2.5G iPhone on or after May 27 and want to swap it out for a new iPhone will be able to do so without incurring an additional handset charge for the new device. They will of course need to turn in their 2.5G iPhone." And for the rest of you, AT&T says there's no way to buy it without agreeing to a contract. So sorry. More details here.

Update 2: We've got our hands-on impressions right here.

Other tidbits:
* It's a teensy bit thicker. 4.5 by 2.4 by 0.48 inches (115.5 by 62.1 by 12.3 mm), and weighs 4.7 ounces (133 grams).

* Radios galore: Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), UMTS / HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz), GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz), Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR

* A SIM ejector comes in the box, at last.

* There's no dock included, just a USB power adapter and dock connector.

* No mention has been made of MMS, video recording or built-in iChat. What gives, Apple?

* On the chatting front, developers will be able to ping a centralized push server with their apps, to keep down battery usage and app overload on phones.

* On AT&T unlimited iPhone 3G data plans for consumers will be available for $30 a month, on top of voice plans starting at $39.99 a month. Unlimited 3G data for business users will be $45 a month, on top of voice. There's a minimum two-year agreement, but we're not positive what that'll look like for those currently enslaved to an AT&T contract -- you could be looking at a solid four years of time if you just took the plunge.

* Apple's new MobileMe service will be coming with the iPhone 2.0 software, bringing push email and contacts for all.

* Apple's official page is here, and you can watch the new ad here.

* Available on July 11th in: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French), Belgium (Dutch), Canada (English), Canada (French), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French), Switzerland (German), UK, USA

* The rest of these are slated to get the phone this year: Argentina, Botswana, Brazil, Cameroon, C. African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Estonia, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, India, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Macau, Madagascar, Mali, Malta, Mauritius, Nicaragua, Niger, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Senegal, Singapore, Qatar, Slovakia, South Africa, Turkey, Uruguay.

* Yes, it's on the FCC.

Sad to say Apple decided to leave out Malaysia, but the question is why? Why they even include African, Philippines, South Africa but not Malaysia? Isn't Malaysia Boleh?

DiGi gets go ahead for transfer of TDC’s 3G spectrum

DiGi gets go ahead for transfer of TDC’s 3G spectrum

KUALA LUMPUR: DiGi.Com Bhd (DiGi) has received Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) approval for the proposed transfer of Time dotCom Bhd's (TDC) 3G spectrum to DiGi.

The company told Bursa Malaysia yesterday the approval was subject to payment by TDC's wholly owned subsidiary, TT dotCom Sdn Bhd, for the penalty imposed due to non-compliance of its detailed business plan.

It was also subject to MCMC's acceptance of DiGi's RM50mil irrevocable bank guarantee for the balance duration of the spectrum assignment period, it added.

In a statement yesterday, chief executive officer Morten Lundal said: “We welcome the approval and look forward to proceeding with our business plan for mobile broadband once all other approvals are obtained.”

In a separate filing with Bursa yesterday, DiGi said it had received an extension of time to June 30 from the Energy, Water and Communications Ministry to comply with the equity conditions of its licences.

It said the extension also applied to the deadline for Telenor Asia Pte Ltd to reduce its equity interest in DiGi to 49%.

DiGi To Launch 3G By End Of The Year

2008-03-19T23:22:00.001-07:00

KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 (Bernama) -- DiGi.Com Bhd is on track and waiting for the necessary approvals to launch its third-generation (3G) services by year-end, said chief executive officer Morten Lundal.

"Yes, we are on track. Two things we have to do. We have to get approvals, final approval and then we will launch the 3G services," he told reporters after the company's extraordinary general meeting here today.

The meeting focused on the 3G spectrum transfer to DiGi.

It was reported late January that the government has approved the transfer of Time dotCom Bhd's 3G licence to DiGi.

Lundal said the company received a lot of support with regard to the 3G spectrum and hoped to get the final approval from the Securities Commission.

He also dismissed shareholders' concern that the spectrum would bring a low value to the company, saying that DiGi was better off with 3G.

Lundal was also confident it would be able to fulfil conditions set by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) easily.

Meanwhile, Lundal would be leaving DiGi on March 31 and would be replaced by Johan Dennelind, the current chief financial officer.

Meanwhile, in a filing to Bursa Malaysia, Time DotCom and DiGi said they were seeking clarification on certain conditions imposed by MCMC namely, on the penalty imposed as a result of non-compliance with the detailed business plan, the effective date and procedures for the transfer of the spectrum.

These include the release of bank guarantee previously furnished by TT dotCom Sdn Bhd and obligation by TT dotCom upon the transfer of the spectrum to DiGi Telecom.

Both parties have agreed to, an extension of time of up to Apr 11, 2008 for acceptance of the said conditions imposed by MCMC.

Digi get 3G

2007-11-18T01:20:00.000-08:00

Previously I commented that No 3G for Digi at the moment
and now, because of Digi tie-up with Timo dotCom Bhd and now 3G is possible. Stay tune for the Digi 3G update maybe next year.

Tie-Up between DiGi.Com Bhd and Time dotCom Bhd (TDC) will see telco gaining access to 3G spectrum

The assignment or transfer of the Spectrum to DiGi Telecom would allow the DiGi Group to provide basic and exciting new innovative products and services in the most effective and efficient manner by using third generation of mobile phone standards and technology (“3G technologies”). The 3G technologies would allow DiGi to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity.

Further, in line with DiGi’s strategy and focus in providing high value added and innovative low cost services, the Parties are expected to benefit from the Proposed Joint Business Planning which will leverage on their respective networks hence providing the Parties with the ability to optimise their strategy in their respective broadband mobile businesses.

1. Digi acquiring Time's 3G license and Time will give up 100% of its right until year 2018.
2. Digi and Time dotCom will work together to further discuss:-
- role out of wimax, and Digi may allow Time to use their towers for wimax.
- Digi might become a service provider for WiMax and Time the infrastructure provider (or other way round).

So there will be good news for all the Digi user like me myself =)
Much awaited 3G soon available to Digi users.

TTdotCom, MiTV get 3G spectrums

By B.K. SIDHU

PETALING JAYA: TTdotCom Sdn Bhd and MiTV Corp Sdn Bhd have emerged winners of the hotly contested 3G spectrums.

The loser was DiGi.Com Bhd, the third contender and third largest mobile operator in the country, which many people had expected to be the frontrunner for the spectrum.

In a statement yesterday, the Energy, Water and Communications Ministry said the two winners had to work “with DiGi and other service providers as a MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) to achieve a win-win situation’’.

The statement added that all three had met the minimum threshold in terms of technical, financial and managerial capabilities and the regulator of the industry – the Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) – had recommended the two.

It said the “two successful applicants with its licence conditions would be notified by the MCMC.’’ All three submitted their bids in November.

With the award, TTdotCom – a unit of Time dotCom Bhd in which Khazanah Nasional Bhd has a stake – gets a new lease of life and it plans to use the 3G spectrum to roll out broadband services. Its officials declined comment as they said they had not been officially notified of the award by MCMC.

MiTV, a pay-TV operator was reported to have said that its 3G network will be used to deliver multimedia content and to provide voice telephony and voice-over-IP (VoIP) services. It will also provide wireless Internet broadband access to users.

The 3G network will also route MiTV's TV content into mobile 3G devices. The 3G services will also be used as a broadband access “return channel” for MiTV subscribers.

It has also signed pacts with NasionCom Holdings Bhd (a broadband phone company) and REDtone International Bhd (the country’s largest discounted call service provider) to act as an MVNO.

A source close to MiTV said yesterday the “award of the 3G spectrum is good for the country. It is for national interest that it has gone to two Malaysian companies even though all three contenders are qualified. It is good that it is done via a beauty-contest process rather than an auction exercise.”

He said that with this award consumers would have more choices and this would lead to better pricing of 3G services in the marketplace.

This is the second time the Government is awarding 3G spectrums. The first was in 2002 when five companies – Telekom Malaysia Bhd, Maxis Communications Bhd, Time dotCom unit Time Sat Sdn Bhd, Celcom Malaysia Bhd and E-Touch Sdn Bhd – made their bids for the three spectrums that were up for grabs.

Two spectrums, one each to Telekom and Maxis, were assigned and each had to pay RM50mil in assignment fee.

Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik said in the statement: “MCMC has recommended that the two remaining 3G spectrum should be fully allocated in order to develop a more vibrant and competitive environment in the industry in order to provide 3G services for the rakyat.’’

The announcement, however, did cause some disappointment among investors who had traded on DiGi shares and the share price plunged 90 sen in intra-day trading to RM7.85. In contrast, TTdotCom, NasionCom and REDtone stock prices headed north given the bullish business prospects.

DiGi chief executive officer Morten Lundal said: “We are extremely disappointed and surprised by such a decision (over the award) and, if this is confirmed, we will immediately seek clarification from the MCMC.’’
