DiGi is the first telco that allows you to pre-order spanking new devices running the latest Windows 8 - Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, giving you a subsidy of up to RM900.00.
DiGi's Lumia 920
But the best thing is this - yesterday (6.12.2012), DiGi's facebook page asked its fans to wait and stay up till midnight for something big to be announced. And most people, this blogger included, thought that DiGi is finally activating their pre-registration page for iPhone 5. But some moment after it struck midnight, instead of iPhone 5, Lumia came online instead, sending legions of iFans (this blogger is not) into tears.
Recognizing iFans' frustration, DiGi finally activated iPhone 5 registration without much fanfare.
But leaving iPhone 5 aside, Lumia 920 represents the gamble of Nokia (and to some extent, Windows's mobile OS) to recapture the market share it once has. You would note that Nokia doesn't produce Android devices, only Windows (and to a lesser extent, Symbian). Will this gamble pay off? Looking at the specs of Lumia 920, I do hope that the answer is a yes.
Now, when will Maxis and Celcom announce their plans for Lumia?
