Last Sunday, Google purposely pulled its Google Voice app from the App Store due to some bug that caused the app to crash at sign in.

Almost a week later, Google Voice is now back in the App Store, with some stability improvement and also a new feature…

According to the Google Voice Twitter account, the app now “improves calling through GV when there is no data: no data required for all numbers previously called.”

Google sure took its time to fix that app!

You might not see it right away in the App Store, but you can access directly from here.

We’re received an update from Brightstar confirming that the sleek looking Motorola RAZR will be coming to Malaysia, and that’s all we know for now as Brightstar did not say when the device will be launch and how much it will cost.

Looking at how things are panning out, a November launch date is very possible and looking at the trend of smartphone pricing currently, the RAZR shouldn’t cost more than RM2,200 or thereabouts.

So, are you waiting for this?

HTC Malaysia has officially announced its new reduced retail pricing for HTC Wildfire S, HTC Chacha, HTC Salsa and the HTC Sensation.

The HTC Wildfire S which previously retails at RM1,099 is now priced at RM899, which is a RM200 reduction. Meanwhile, the 2 Facebook oriented devices, HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa are sold at RM799 and RM999 respectively. When announced, the ChaCha was going for RM1,099 and the Salsa at RM1,499.

The HTC Sensation meanwhile is still at RM1,799 as reported earlier this month. The reduction took place right before the HTC Sensation XE was announced at RM1,999.

Overall, the reduction of price is welcomed as there are plenty of decent 1GHz Android devices hitting below the RM1,500 mark such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray, LG Optimus Black and Samsung Galaxy S Plus.

When it comes to entry level Android devices, HTC isn’t really known for offering devices below the RM1000 mark. With this new revision, hopefully they will make waves with the entry level users. In the coming months, we are expecting more decent Android devices with lower pricing to enter the market which may make it tough for HTC in this segment. The next lowest entry device from HTC would be the HTC Explorer which is slated for Q4 this year.

Our neighbour (Singapore) has commenced its pre-order for the iPhone 4S. Below we have the pricing with RM equivalent with exchange rate of ($1 = RM2.5):

16GB – $948 (RM2,370)
32GB – $1,088 (RM2,720)
64GB – $1,238 (RM3,095)

Each customers can buy up to 2 units and shipping duration is listed as 1-2 weeks. There’s also a 12 months interest-free installment plan with Citibank for easy payment. This gives a rough idea of the iPhone 4S pricing if it reaches Malaysia. If the trend is similar to the iPad 2, we can expect ours to be cheaper than the Singaporeans in terms of listed price.

For more information, head over to Singapore Apple Store.

The first iPhone 4S commercial has just made its debut in the US and it’s all about Siri.

Yes, Siri is intelligent no doubt, but considering its limited scope (limited support outside of US, limited language support) and almost not understanding of the local context in Malaysia, Siri could just be another voice-recognition software when the iPhone 4S arrives in the country.
