MAXIS GOES ANDROID WITH FIVE NEW OFFERINGS

Committed to widest range of smartphone offerings for customers

Maxis and Hotlink customers who are fans of Android phones may now enjoy their favourite devices on the Maxis platform from as low as RM799 each. Maxis Berhad (‘Maxis’), the country’s leading integrated communications provider recently launched five Android handsets representing the entire Android range to its customers. The handsets launched were the Samsung Galaxy i7500, the HTC Legend, the LG GW620, the Motorola Milestone and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

Jean-Pascal Van Overbeke, Maxis Chief Operating Officer said, “As the mobile market continues to grow, we see ourselves entering another world which is more integrated. We are committed to putting the best and most affordable devices into our customers’ hands so that they may enjoy the best communications experiences, as we enter integrated play. In line with this, today we are pleased to launch the widest range of Android devices in the country to our customers with special packages from Maxis.

“Today’s launch is timely as it coincides with the launch of the Android Marketplace in Malaysia, an application store for Android handset owners. The store currently offers more than 50,000 applications which is growing on a daily basis, presenting a variety of useful and entertaining content to our customers. In addition, nearly 60 percent of all apps in the Android market are free of charge, offering our customers added value.”

“We anticipate that this new offering and its favourable reception will further help in our aspiration to increase non-voice revenue for Maxis to more than 50 per cent over the next two to three years.”
