nfc can be used for other things besides payment -- tap to transfer files, contacts, etc...

but if payment... i'd be surprised if we have companies already looking and preparing for this... but i'd prefer a tie-in with a company/ brand that has wide coverage/ use. maybe local banks can start eWallets with credit cards... similar to the visa wave?

but seriously... can't samsung just launch the dang phone?!? i mean, if what is rumoured is true and SME already have the phones in warehouse, why are they holding it back and not selling it? it's a HOTCAKE and selling so well all over the world. why need to hold back?

already got rumours that the closest 'competitor' (the htc sensation) pending some local approval and if all goes well, launching in June 2011 as well... read that from sensation topic...

They might want to maintain the global sales growth across the Quarter? imagine if u release all at once, the main problem is that supply might not catch up, further more, ppl who got stuck at the waiting list might turn away, but if, it's not official release but strategically populate the market with rumors and excitement, they'll still have all the fish in their net, its kind of marketing strategy . If they decide to release at once, the sale might be gorgeous at the beginning but to keep the heat through out the whole quarter, it's a bit hard especially when human being esp gadget freak tend to have brief period of enthusiasm all the time towards new tech/device. So its wiser if they release it batch by batch so the graph/numbers and statistic on their board looks good. they need to answer to the board btw ~

just a pinch of my opinion though~ hmm.gif

ya, i guess if they want their books to look nice, then ya... they wanna get nice figures for each Q. hmmm... i wonder if june is their next Q? but honestly, with just 1 year of active shelf life (sgs3 expected next year), i'd think they can sell lots of units even without resorting to this... plus, QuadCore coming out soon... then the following year, another new processor... so, i'd like to think there will be people who wan new gadgets every year...

Yah indeed, by looking at the previous hot news about the shortage of device component on SGS2 , i think the main obstacles will still be the supply. Maybe they are doing this way to level all the supply tense so that its more manageable by their MFG ~

Normally i'll just flip it to the back and use it as usual , provided ur flip case is capable of doing that. So its very important to look for a nice flip case

Very unlikely. CyanogenMOD has been developing roms for countless smartphones and is all free. Just following their nightly builds will drive you insane keeping up/testing  with it. If you like their work, they will appreciate a donation for their efforts

Samsung now realize the potential of the growing users who wish to push their smartphones higher up to another level beyond the default limits. HTC recently had announced their agreement to unlock the bootloaders but all are still waiting for their date. Sony Ericsson had already done that with their Xperia series.

Well even in this thread and several other threads, I see many new users who in their first entry into Android expressing their wishes and showing intentions to root, flash rom  etc even though they are still noobs. I have received many PM from such users ( probably they are shy to post in forums  ) asking me to guide them or explain certain Android terminologies. Some are so noob that questions like - how to format SD card, how to enable mass storage , how to install apk files, how to push adb files, how to use terminal etc are asked

Apparently i'm one of those noob who PM uncle Benny previously , but frankly, his precious effort in solving my problem is much appreciated. If its not him who guide me along the way into the android world , i wouldn't even know what does "flash" means tongue.gif

My Zenus & Argos casings have arrived , together with my SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics rclxms.gif

Attached Image

Zenus Prestige Carbon Leather Case,
Truly a black beauty with a stylish glowing pattern stripes , smooth skin and quality built, feels good and extremely soft on hand. When you rub on the surface, the carbon fiber layer feels like its not attached to the leather totally, but more like a thin silk that somehow applied on the leather. Extremely good looking and its firmly made.

Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

SGP Argos Leather Case,
Very classical vintage casing with suede leather, first glimpse on it and it gives u a "High Class" feel. Hard leather in the middle but with split surface, if you like furry feels etc dolls, toys, sofa skin, you'll pretty much enjoy this casing. Interior lining made of microfiber like Prestige, very thin and light weight . Combination of elegance look and quality built

Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

Last but not least, my dearest SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics SP

Attached Image

come with 2 firms per package, a Micro-fiber fabric, 4 dust remover (sticker), a squeegee and a warranty card.

Haven't got the chance to try them on SGS2 coz i'm still waiting for the release tongue.gif

According to reliable source, the launching of SGS2 delay again to July.
Really fed-up with SME.  The way they handle the SGS2.
They are really secretive about the availability of SGS2.
At least they should let their potential buyer know when is the launched date. 
Rather than keep on waiting and guessing when it will launch.

This is definitely a sh1t which will flush a lot of potential buyer to look for HTC Sensation....
What a shame sme , what a shame .... notworthy.gif

No offence;  I use to say only  A DUMB GUY can brick his SGS II phone rooting it using Odin. If he knows how to use ODin, flashing is just a piece of cake.
But a SMART guy can brick trying to root/HSPL a Windows MObile 6 smartphone if he is not careful. A smartguy can easily brick his Dell Streak flashing  it. Rooting and flashing the SGS II is so,  I say freaking easy. As long as you know how to read simple English , you will be OK
+1 on the Dell Streak , cost me so much time just to troubleshoot one issue ..... mad.gif
