P1 Wimax... not for me


After much exasperation and hair pulling with Streamyx, I decided to try P1 Wimax. Signing up was easy as these guys were on a promotion blitz. You can find the promo kiosk everywhere. Paid my RM 100 and took home the modem receiver with WIFI!! Setting up was darn easy too, was connected within 10 minutes. But the horror begins..... takes 5-10 minutes to load common web pages. When doing a speedtest.... the latency is 700 over ms... After 45 minutes, packed it up into the original box and just went to their HQ and returned it. They have a 7 day cooling period. Seriously, if they are not technically ready, they shouldn't launch the product, it just spoils the brand name.

HTC Touch HD!

Couldn't resist it, and bought the HTC Touch HD. Looks like for the first time in 3 years, I have more Winmob devices than Nokia. Still keeping my ever trusty Nokia E71. First thing noted is that the HD has a slower response time than the Cruise 2009. However, noted some patch available on www.htc.com/asia, might try to do some updates and see how it works.
