CF-Root is now available on SGS II !!

CF-Root.. CWM3

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...

becoz telco got exclusive first...

i'm not sure how the phone industry works... but i'm sure logically, if SME have stocks, SME just tell the local telcos (whom SME have made prior arrangements) to just launch it, no?

unless... Telco 1 knows Telco 2 is launching Sensation and purposely wanna sabo and do a direct clash (meaning Telco1 purposely delay until Telco 2 launch Sensation). sorry but of course this statement implies SGS2 is having an advantage over Sensation.

otherwise, its just not logical as a company to hold stocks so long and not sell it. keeping stocks is considered liability.... until they convert to sales. while in warehouse, it can get stolen. each day, it becomes 'more obsolete'. it's still not 'profit' as long as its not sold.

honestly, i'm just kinda sick of waiting. my current phone battery is already dying on me (can't talk for more than 15mins). if i buy a replacement battery for my current phone, then i m not going to be buying any new phones for the next 1 year or so. but if this gets launched soon, i will be buying it... so, ya... frustrating... grrrr...

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~

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 ~

Great news. Thanks for the headsup. Finally a clockworkmod recovery is now available

Quote : This rooted kernel is for the "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root takes the kernel from an original Samsung firmware, and just adds root, busybox, and ClockWorkMod (CWM3) recovery
THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a modified kernel. You need to have the relevant firmware already on your device. You do NOT need to wipe anything for this patch. You DO need to read the instructions. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST!

hi sifu

just wondering...if anyone facing this yellowish problem i malaysia???

here the link

its all about preparation..u just cant release instantly...

No. No. No.
I have read this yesterday, and the first thing that came to me was just " nitpicking" - the writer just need to fulfill his writing responsibility and find something negative to write about . Actually if you read what he has written, he has admitted to this. Let's face it, there is NO perfect 10/10 product - if there is , it is not invented yet or if it is available - it will be so expensive most of us cannot afford to buy - it will be the Lamborghini-Rolls Royce of smartphones

Added on May 31, 2011, 10:58 amThere are tons of bureaucracy/paperwork and red tapes just to get an electronic product with wireless features to be officially released to the market. The importer has to deal with safety regulations, Sirim testing and certifications, information and personal secrecy concerns etc , complaince with telecommunications act etc As with most imported stuffs, these are not done on samples but on actual imports which a sampling will be taken from it. Many Ministries are involved. If these were in , be prepared to wait a month before the final OK is stamped for official release

i would like to think that...
before stocks arrive in MY warehouse, all the paperwork would already be done. sirim, approval, etc...

as for nego with telco, i would like to also think SMe already have indicative timeline when they would release a product. telco probably already nego 3-6mths ahead of this -- telco should have some plans 6-12mths ahead on what they plan to do for sales/ marketing/ promo.

can't be like last min i wanna bundle this product... then go ask marketing people got budget or not... then ask finance if this bundle is feasible and make money, etc...

so, if things are the way i like it to be... they are just waiting for the planned release date... *sigh* the wait can kill...

or maybe the fact that we are last on the list of priority release dates, because usually europe and certain countries in Asia and US are prioritized over us. thats wat i think...

samsung gave us a late date release and its kinda justifiable that profits in europe are better than profits over here. or something like that...

thats wat im talking about..

there are steps that u cannot jump and must follow the flow..thats y they didnt release it yet...

Malaysia is only a micro mini market ; seriously how many units of smartphones are sold here in a year. In Korea 1 million units of this SGS II was sold in Korea in the first one month. Malaysia - I doubt not even 10000 units a year !!! Singapore with a population which is 6 times less, smartphone users are 10 times more than here. So if you are in marketing and with limited resources, what will be your priorities

To answer mydragoon : all imported goods still need official testing on ACTUAL imports based on a random sampling. It is not so easy as what you'd think. There are ways to " cheat" testing with samples but not so with actual pull from bulk imports. I have been in the manufacturing and export /import business past 35 years and I can say is not so easy as one think. There are of course many ways to reduce the time but usually is all through unethical/illegal ways which poses a risk on the importer

Only last week there was a report in the newspapers , a major German luxuruy car importer has his 50+ cars stuck already 30 days at port as still awaiting all the final clearances/approvals etc from variousauthorities. So if this well renown , can say number one or two car maker, he still has to face the procedures. As far as the Msian government is concerned, what works in Germany and the rest of the world does not means an immediate approval to be used here - all procedures especially safety still needs to be follow.

Im at UK now yet i still wanna wait for Malaysia to launch it cause im going back end of June .. My main concern is M'sia is a lot cheaper ~.~

btw guys, do you all come across any good phone case that is book type (open from right to left)?

Another question, for flip case owner, when you turn the phone to horizontally(text,games) isn't the cover will become kind of inconvenience?
