The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is now offered on Celcom from as low as RM1,228. Since PC Fair is happening over the weekend, they are throwing extra RM300 off which appears to be monthly rebate of RM25 for 12 months.

As the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is able to make phone calls and SMS, it is bundled on Celcom Exec 50 with a choice of 1GB or 3GB data plans. As usual, they give either 12 months or 24 months contract option. As comparison, U Mobile is offering the Tab 7.0 Plus from as low as RM999 on U88 plan.

If you don’t really need to make phone calls, you might want to consider the larger Galaxy Tab 8.9 which is offered as low as RM1288 on Celcom.

Last month, Apple rolled out its latest handset in 15 new countries, bringing the total number of eligible countries to 44. The company has said that it plans to have the iPhone 4S in more than 70 countries by the end of the year. The site lists off several other countries that are reporting December 16th availability, including Taiwan, the Philippines, South Africa, and Malaysia.

Maxis starts registration of interest for the iPhone 4S. If you’ve been waiting for the iPhone 4S to launch in Malaysia, mark your calendars this 16th December 2011.

Next question would be how much would it go for? We predicted the pricing could be slightly lower compared to previous iPhone 4 outright pricing but prevailing US Dollar exchange rates might prove this otherwise. With 3 telcos offering the device, we can expect some competitive bundling.

Tune Talk now offers a new way to stay connected for long without the hassle of monthly top ups. Tune Talk customers can get 365 days of credit validity for a small fee of RM38/year. This is good for those looking for a prepaid service with minimal monthly top up commitments.

To activate this, send SET to 1212. It costs RM38 but Tune Talk requires a minimum balance of RM48 before activation. Do note that the RM38 will be deducted as a fee and you won’t be getting any free talktime or SMS. With this 365 days validity activated, it will last exactly 1 year from the date of activation which will be confirmed by SMS. You can check for validity period by calling *133#.

There are other things to look out as well. Any top ups made within the 365 days period will not extend the existing validity period. If you are a heavy user and have been topping up regularly, this isn’t a solution for you. However those that just requiring a line for receiving calls or simply isn’t spending as much as a usual prepaid user, this 365 days validity is worth a try.

Samsung Galaxy W for an affordable RM999 in Malaysia. The Galaxy W is a mid-tier device in their new naming convention and is actually a replacement for their current Samsung Galaxy Ace.

Despite being a mid-tier device, the Galaxy W is no slouch as it runs on a single core 1.4GHz processor and it has Android 2.3 Gingerbread installed. It has a larger 3.7inchi S-LCD display with 800×480 resolution. Internally comes with 2GB storage and 512MB of RAM. For imaging, it has a 5MP camera with assisted flash that’s capable of shooting 720p HD videos. There’s also a VGA camera at the front for video calls. They have also thrown in a rather generous 1500mAh battery as well.

For RM999, the Galaxy W packs quite a lot for less which puts other expensive rivals to shame. Seems like Samsung is able to give HTC a run for their money.
