i can help people buy SGS2 from Singapore if they want since i work here Then i can COD locally in JB/KL within a week of purchase. Service charge of RM150 (100 for COD in JB) on top of whatever price you can find in Singapore when it's released (to cover effort + transportation to and back). For warranty i can always assist in sending and collecting but of course you have to bear the cost lah. That's all i'm asking for.. reasonable ah?

Walao, why you people so despo want to come to singapore, i already offered my service to buy for u in singapore since i work here and bring to KL and COD, so easy, nobody listen to me

The quotation is as mentioned above. But i probably dont want to bring too many in, at most 5. And hope that the kastam doesn't check my bag when i exit LCCT lol. I did the same for iphone 4 last time, no problem. I should be able to return within a week after purchase so don't worry about delay. i will come back just for 1 day specially for CODing and then off i go again.

Depends on when is the release date loh, and stock availability Once i get it, then i'll be back within few days, but because of that i think airfare will be higher due to last minute ticket purchase, hence the more expensive service fee. Hope you all understand

wahahah, no lar..siao ahh...save cost leh

honestly, no..like u said, singaporean so dam kiasu, first day out sure sapu all already, i think getting online is the best bet, like expansys... last time i try to get DHD at those handphone shops, i go to the city look everywhere also cannot get coz sold out everywhere, ppl already pre-order long before, everywhere not enough stock.

personally i dont dare to book ticket too early, i scared later delay again after buy ticket, then really liao

i will get one myself through singtel contract so i'm not too worried.

I'm not sure where are expansys singapore stocks shipped from actually. Have anyone bought from them before? Why is their help line +852 (Hong kong) instead of Singapore local number? Do they have a local warehouse here? I will purchase and have them shipped it directly to my home because due to the nature of my work, i'll be at home most of the time for now. Also, i hope the prices quoted in expansys are GST inclusive otherwise, if the warehouse is outside singapore, be prepared to fork out additional 7% GST + Shipping

Actually this checkerbox rendering thingy is already implemented in some newer version of current SGS1 firmware. I am personally using it now so i can attest to that. Only certain version though. Basically, when u pinch to zoom, everything will be blurred as u pinch, and it will only refocus the text/image once u release your finger. Sure, the advantage is that it's a lot smoother, but it's also less pretty to eyes . The original browser on older firmware, will refocus the text real time as you zoom, and this will cause sluggishness if the website is graphic/flash heavy, but it's also more pleasing to the eye as you can read while you zoom. So, there's a compromise to both, unless the phone is powerful enough to refocus real time as you zoom.

However,"stop-rendering" during zoom pinching is a completely separate thing if i'm not wrong. I don't think SGS1 has that feature.

I'm not familiar with the word 'text reflow' so i can't really comment on that. Actually what i think happen is, say your zoom level is now 100%, when u try to zoom it to 150%, as you zoom, the word is firstly stretched to 150% size without a change in resolution, so it'll appear blurry. Once you release the finger, the text will become clear again @ 150% zoom, hence the term "refocus".

As for the older browser on older firmware, they text will remain sharp throughout your zooming.

I'm not sure if this is implemented on a hardware or a software level, but i believe it's software. I'm using stock browser btw, but i remember seeing it in Dolphin and Opera too if i am not mistaken.

i got a feeling, tonight the seller will tell everybody to come tmr evening instead, and then tmr morning, they will telle verybody to come the day after and so on...

yay just in time for my singtel recontract

gogo oldKyoo call them!

Trust me, i've been using them personally, australian telco sucks, not to mention all their plan have stupid data limit crap (like 1gb for AUD 20-30? wtf?) and so damn expensive. even their home broadband has data cap. many places that isn't covered by 3G etc etc etc..i'll pick malaysian telco anytime. grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Speaking from experience of using Optus, Telstra and Virgin, in Perth and Brisbane over the course of 1 1/2 year.

while telstra is the better, they are also the most expensive compared to other telco..when i was in aus, all i remember was i was cursing all the telcos, cant wait to go back to malaysia. at least i dont have to worry about busting my cap every minute i use it.

ie : http://www.telstra.com.au/bigpond-internet...rates/index.htm

AUD 100 for 6gb. I dont understand why you can say it's not expensive. When i was there, i was subscribe to 3gb, already heart pain, i need to monitor my usage every hour to make sure i only use 100mb per day. Imagine, how torturous was that?

I had to, because i didn't stay long enough at one place to sign up for a postpaid line, prepaid is the most convenient at that time for my situation.

But ringtones and wallpapers are subjective and most of us do not use built in ringtones/wallpaper anyway so what's the big deal? those reasons are pretty weak to be used as a cons for the phone. i think you are just unhappy because u overpaid for the phone which is supposed to be only in the 2.3-2.4k range.

I believe, nothing u say now can change his mind because his judgement has been clouded. He's just digging hard to find fault with the phone.
