I don't know if its the same as the ones sold in Korea but all I know the ones sold by Maxis (the first batch upon launching) are fully imported and made in Korea.

Not too sure if they are currently made in China now like most mobile phones these days.

Mine also made in korea (bought from digi). I don't think samsung will manufacture their high-end product in China since China is famous for copying others product.

divert call got extra charges?

Hello guys, just got my SGT outright at Maxis Sunway last week after testing a unit at KLCC while contemplating. Worth the 4 hours wait I guess, because since then I have yet to use my netbook.

No issues so far with the set save for the lack of USB port, KIES and soft loudspeaker. The stock browser lag is still acceptable for me. (read somewhere because of flash, anyone knows how to turn it off?)

Enjoying it very much. Used it as my main phone for the first few days but encountered problem with contacts and messaging + the size so transferred sim card back to my old faithful phone.

Connecting to my mifi also not a problem, eventhough needs the mifi to be very close to get full bar of signal. Has a solid feel. only installed few apps and some games...especially angry birds and labyrinths, which my son enjoyed playing very much.

i think that one is AP set. i almost want to buy from him but when get know AP set then donwan buy d. haha i want buy original set!!

AP set kenot update firmware?

maybe different firmware code. not sure.

heeeeeeelllllllllllpppppppppppppppppp

You updating using latest KIES i presume. And SGT is connected via usb, in KIES mode.

You have to be more specific in your problem. Normally when click 'update', KIES will search if there's a new firmware first, if yes, then only click update.

So what error or which step you have problem?

i am planning to get 1..izzit advisable to get AP set?

yeah i want one too!!
looks like this is the one for me

What is difference AP vs original price?

AP price is about RM300 - RM 400 cheaper. If you wish to buy AP buy from a reputable shops with a direct linkage to the AP importer. I will not encourage you to buy it from any of those independent resellers , eg A would have got it from B who possibly source it from C who is the authorized reseller of the AP product. When you have warranty claims , just imagine the the trouble seller A has to go through to submit in a claim for you.

If you wish to buy AP , make sure you are told who is the AP importer - it is better if it is a local setup. Many "AP" sets are actually underwater sets brought in from Singapore or HongKong - these are very troublesome when you need to make claims

I have been buying AP smartphones for several years. There was one time I got caught buying from a kiosk in LowYat ( good price cheaper by M 450 ) - I was shown it was a Spore Singtel set ; starightaway I know it is underwater. Anyway this seller promised me he will arrange sent back to Spore for me if any issue. On the 2nd week I have some issues, and the set was returned to seller. After a week I called him, he said set still with him as he was awaiting for some other guys to arrange a trip down together to Spore ; ask me wait few days and call him back. A week later , called him he said set still with him. He even has the nerve to tell me to wait for another 1 possibly 2 months to get a replacement set !!! He suggested I go down Spore myself to claim if I cannot wait. After a few unhappy calls to n fro, he courier set back to me and I went down to Spotre to get it service back within the same day. Example of one of the unpleasant perils of buying such AP underwater sets

guys, i have to say i m bit relieve(or rather shiok sendiri), after so many launches at ces yesterday, and not forgeting the honeycomb preview. The better ones notably notion ink and xoom are 10". So SGT will still the 'most' powerful 7" android tablet for a little bit longer atleast this quarter.. So we all still be fine this year..
but pray hard we will get android 3.0 aka honeycomb later this yr...

NOTE - about the honeycomb video, i still think 2.2 and 2.3 is good as it is so flexi for us to customize, but think the UI in the video is stock. It should be more flexi in real life... After watching most videos on notion ink,playbook and now honeycomb. I feels sick seeing their UI, acted more like a digital photo frame.... just my stupid thought.

I got a real problem with my tab at that time, bought AP unit.. cannot upgrade with Kies...so unlucky, it leave me no choice.. i follow exactly the steps and its work...

Yup. I download latest kies. Then i klik firmware updates n it said this device cannot be updated. Arghhhhhh. Need help

look like your ap set is not an asian version, if that's the case then u have to manually flash the firmware. go to xda they have step to step quide in manual updating of firmware... good luck.
