Allow me to add...just hope to persuade those intended to give up...

1) Bluetooth 3.0
2) MHL connector
3) Mali-400
4) 116g & 8.49mm
5) Samsung Hubs
6) 8mp Cam doing 1080p + 2mp front Cam
7) NFC (this SHALL be the killer for user experience!!)

For all the above, we pay a premium...of course, some of us might not want those SERIOUS biz experience like Exchange, VPN, Encryption, Cisco & MDM, but the price is inclusive-loh!!! :-()

Just something to share a perspective of what NFC would bring soon...

Good answer there!

1) It is just like the digital camera. Any photo shop will tell us that a decent 3mp is all that we need to get a good 4R picture.
Resolution for a 4R photo at 300dpi is only 2.16mp... but the mega pixel business keeps shooting up...hehehe

3) How true, we are buying "hype" here, right? :-)

5) Must give chance and lets continue to hope & pray mah...

6) 4.3" is a very good size mirror for combing hair or applying lip stick bah... :-p

7) If we read NFC ala NFC Bridging the Gap, then we would imagine everything Google.
Do check out The NFC Innovators, and we would see how wide
this technology is going to impact our life soon. 10 years ago, if you tell people about cards, many would say "Playing Cards"?
Today, we have SIM cards in our phone, we have credit/debit cards in our wallet, we have T'nG cards in our car+wallet, we
ID cards from government, school, offices...etc, we have loyalty cards from BonusLink, Tesco...etc, we have membership cards
from the clubs that we join; card is literally infiltrated our life!

NFC seeks to enhance the availability of cards and many more in our life.

NFC was initiated as early as Dec 2005 in Malaysia by MasterCard.
A French-based NFC Times recorded only the trial by Visa with Maxis & Maybank in Apr 2006 .

Upon the trial of 50 by MasterCard & 200 by Visa,
it was launched in Apr 2009 with 3,000 phones being issued.

But THAT 3,000 units of Nokia 6212 was not really something to shout about, hence not much publicity anywhere.
But it is still continue to roll-out...today, with your Nexus S, you can ask Maybank to issue you your NFC-credential
for use in LRT, buses, paying in Kenny Rogers or the likes that have contactless payment acceptance device.

One thing also, you can now programme your NFC phone like SGS2 (or even Nexus S) to be your student card
or office card that allowing you entry to the premises or even log on to your computer network.

Hope the above enlightened a bit.

Hehehe...we all can pray, can't we?
Now, this is the KILLER that appears on Maybank's website on this NFC launch...
After reading it, you will know WHAT killed the initiative - Maxis, Maybank or Visa?

See here : The Killer

Samsung Singapore maintains they will get the SGS II next week. ;-p

Samsung Malaysia is trying to get into the premium launching list,
hopefully next week as well, if not, will be the week after (*hint :
definitely in BEFORE May, as a certain telco INSISTS must launch
in May 2011...) <grin!>

Oh...you are calling out to them?? :-p

A certain PM is in Korea now,
trust the Korean would know how to make him happy
with a simultaneous world's 1st launch...after all, not
that tough to move 200 units across the strait, right? :-)

For ORI, I am willing to pay about RM3K...but don't tell that telco, ya!?


For AP, give and take lo...

Knowing THAT telco, they will use about RM3K as the base to calculate their packages!

Okie...I am NO guru in screen resolution...

But this is what my buddy gurus explained to me, and hopefully I understood them correctly!

Firstly, do know SGS II has Super AMOLED +, at 800x480 in 4.3"...

next, what is qHD?? 960x540?
(keeping in mind that fruity phone's 960x640 - even "higher" in 3.5")

Now here is the secret, Super AMOLED + use pentile tech patented by Samsung.
conventional pixel has 8 sub-pixels, pentile tech has 12 sub-pixels.

Now, lets do the math...

qHD : 960 (x8 sub-pixels) x 540 (x8 sub-pixels) = 7,680 x 4,320 sub-pixels
fruit phone : 960 (x8 sub-pixels) x 640 (x8 sub-pixels) = 7,680 x 5,120 sub-pixels

Our beloved SGS II : 800 (x12 sub-pixels) x 480 (x12 sub-pixels) = 9,600 x 5,760 sub-pixels

Of course, qHD in 4.3" is too pixelated compared to fruity in 3.5"
but SGS II in 4.3" is more than enough to squeeze the juice of the fruit lah.


Kindly, and yes, kindly allow Samsung the benefit of doubt that it holds many patents related
for screen...they sell TVs too, ya?



AGAIN....I am no guru...please do not believe in what I say here!

Would you run down a customer that give you US$7.8 billions in business?

You are RIGHT. After reading your reply, I sent an email to those who taught me.
I was thrashed, "Gosh...as bad as your memory could not serve you fully right,
common sense would have reminded you that PenTile hinted 5 sub-pixels, no?"

Yup, there was a move back from RGBG matrix to RGB, but further developed
it from 8 sub-pixels to 12 sub-pixels.

Thanks...

One day, yes one day, I shall become a guru too! Yes, one day!

YES, heard that a certain PM failed miserably in Korea!!!

Anyway, another channel just kicked in...lets keep our hope!

One thing : the activities & enthusiasm of this forum has been forwarded too as "collateral" for a final push... ;-p

BINGO !!! But Singapore supplies more than just to Malaysia....

Just checked with the GANG in Singapore,
still no news of SGS II being released in Singapore this week!

Aaaaaarrrrrggghhhhhh !!!!

Hehehe...those who lives on the edge will NOT worry about warranty or SIRIM lah...

Apple has no case-lah...just a publicity stunt to run down on Samsung fans
and gives bullets to those Apple fans.


1) Majority of the smart phone now is candy bar-shaped. (but must read patent details!)
2) User-interface is Android...go complain to Google! TouchWiz is no where same as iOS.

No case lah...
