then i read at se fb ,some ppl comments ,they said some of quers already que since dec 2,and they can sleep there at s.pyramid .

and if i remember correctly,all of em are young chinese guy around 17-20+ age and all of em are boys,no girls,

sleeping there for 2 days ..unbelieveble ..
even when i quue for iphone4 is not like this.
must be bcause it's only rm8.even cheaper than china phone

sorry. what,really ?i thought i see all boys ,i din't really watch it,i saw majority of em are boys.i know that maybe they invite all their friends to go to this event and take turns to que or maybe something like that.nice strategies but how did u know that s.pyramid allows people to sleep there ? ,i thought the guard will like chase u out.

anyway congratulations.it's worth waiting 30hours to get that rm8 price

we were allowed to camp overnite on 3rd dec (2nd dec kena chase away) - 11pm onwards registration starts. RELA members came to help jaga. SE event facilitators spend the night with us. We all get to watch some movies like AVATAR, kungfu hustle blablabla. they dont allow friends to jaga. we were needed to register, if they check randomly & we weren't the 1 in Q, we will b disqualified.

omg ..

the x8 price around 680-700 for AP

if it is 2.1 android . it will be giving a tough fight to galaxy 5. biggrin.gif
*
the 1 they gave was v1.6. but we can manually upgrade to v2.1 via SE PC Companion ware, even the guys @ the SE shop say they can do the upgrade for us.

wow.wth..if i know they give us to watch movies or do something interesting.but how did u watch movies ?in that big screen infront of the shop ?i would hve que there
but i saw a few guy eating there ,he buy from giant.how did he buy if there no friend buying the food for him?RELA member ?

i thought it will be so boring if que there,and bringing laptop also quite useless bcause can't charge there

i realise most of the person who que there is around 16-25 age.meaning students
a bit unfair to people who works

btw that pc companion is crap .,i upgrade my x10 mini using something that i downloaded via their website
better ask that guy to upgrade for you
*
ya, they played using that screen.
we get 10 min breaks ma, as stated in T&C.
mostly students. got 1 uncle Q @ 16th spot.
brought my lappie. can charge during the day b4 the mall closes, coz almost each column got plug points.
upgrade is smooth for me

Just got my phone yesterday and updated to 2.1. Everything working really well, later night will try out Papago! trial see if it works with the MFM latest map, if it does, I will buy the Papago! software.

can get for free la. just hav to look deeper~ google is ur fren ;P


overall X8 is really what u pay, what u get. the hardware matches for it's price,
camera sorta not ok...
built in memory 128mb...

now im really hoping that we can root v2.1 on x8, so can use app2sd.
any1 here successfully rooted their 2.1 device here?

It's all up to you. I would prefer not to root unless it is needed to install some needed applications, but so far I don't see a need of it, except to get the update. I would advise you to wait for a few more days before making decision to root it, since it's an official update and I believe eventually it will reach to all X8 users.

root is a must if u cant stand the stock 128mb internal memory. after root u can use app2sd ( installs app in sd card), then u can install loads of apps an worry less on lag due to low memory. but so far, i cant root my 2.1.. sien

So X8 cannot pinch the screen where as it doesn't have multi touch?

No wonder my gf's device playing Angry bird is quite hard >.<

ive no prob playin angry bird in my X8 other than the occasional lag on certain lvls.

Battery is definitely one of the weak point for this phone, if you use it normally without gaming and data download, it could last you perhaps 1 day plus. Else, it hardly last you for 1 day. Unless I am doing something wrong with my phone.

reduce ur screen brightness, im using it at arnd 20% saves a whole load of battery time

Bro, how to install the x8 driver? Sorry for being such noob. BTW, anyone tried H.A.W.K?
*
extract the contents into a new folder (i put mine in desktop) then plug in the phone in flash mode, (im using w7) so when i plugin, it auto search for drivers, then it says cant install, just go to control panel, hardware, device manage, u will see a SEMC kinda drive wif a yellow triangle icon, jz click on it go to properties, update driver by linking it to the folder u made. i did this without installing pc companion, im not sure if this is even needed wif pc companion installed.

HAWK reso is too big for our screen, can play but a big chunk of the view is being cropped of, and some major controls are there. so dont think can play.
