thanks... ok... i guess at that price, it seems good... thanks to OP for the link.

first time i see forum profile with 'real' photo...

i asked a senheng guy and he said as per all their phones, they send to a reputable 3rd party to fix it. parts are of course original parts, but they dun guarantee its not re-cond (its fair since even Dell 3yrs warranty may give you recond parts). he also gave me a name, but i can't remember. he said this company got the deal to service all senq/ senheng phones claims.

but if you go SenQ FB page, the SenQ fella said 3yrs manufacturer's warranty... not sure if they SenQ guy deleted the post already or not. it was mentioned last week.

originally quite keen to get from SenQ but after calculating... vs buying from SEP 1U, i think I'm towards SEP 1U now.

comparing...
* 2% interest for CC instalment (12mths) for SEP. this is abt rm40. senQ charging rm65 processing fee for 2yrs installment (using Maybank CC).
* pre-order for SEP 1U, got freebies
* SEP 1U offers 2yrs SME warranty. SenQ up to 3yrs... but need to pay rm12 for membership. however, main concern is the 2nd and 3rd year warranty. no one was able to give good feedback -- and now got so many conflicting reports about how the additional warranty is covered. plus i recall 1-2yrs back, a lot of people complained about SenHeng warranty claims.

but the SenHeng guy i spoke to did say that phone parts are all ori... the only thing is... it might not be brand new when replacing.

oh ya... forgot to factor in senq's rm50 discount (product voucher).

for warranty, i tot only need to pay for 1yr membership -- when you buy the product. after that, if claim warranty, still need to show membership card? i tot no need? if yes... then ya... rm36 for 3yrs warranty.

5yrs peace of mind doing ROM flashing, etc... cannot work, just send back to SenQ... lol...
rm2424 over 5yrs... works out to rm 484.8 or rm40 per month. good deal. for me... i just can't get over the SenQ warranty fears.

i dunno about others... but i'm hoping my phone can last me at least 5yrs... my current k618i is about 5yrs old now.

oh, meaning can't use it to watch 8GB 1080p movies?

i think some have started receiving pre-order/ booking.

the senheng i went to said rm100 deposit to confirm booking. and confirmed arriving this week, just not sure which day.

however, i decided not to book with them. again, coz i fear the can't live up to their senq/ senheng warranty. <--- this is just a personal opinion.

sorry... hmmm.... i tot pg 1 says "Change of RFS file system to EXT4". i assumed RFS = sgs1 file system. EXT4 = sgs2 file system.

nolar, dun plan to watch that many movies... but thought it would be cool if i need to action in friends house or sth... can carry the 1080 files with me. most of them are all more than 4GB. for example, the avatar i have is 10gb (or sth like that).

but agreed... 1080p files... watch on the phone... probably can't tell any diff. i was only hoping that i din have to keep so many versions of avatar -- avatar 10gb for TV, avatar 1GB for phone, etc...

some update... SEP 1U got stocks... just arrived.

i am not sure if it applies to all SEP but SEP 1U is offering a choice of:
* BT set (Samsung brand)
* SP and case (dunno what brand)
* 8GB microSD card (dunno what brand)

well, that is what they told me anyway... and i mentioned this like 20pages back... lol...

again, applies only if you book. walk in won't get this.

but honestly... what is use for 2hrs and it hangs the phone. how to claim warranty? doubt samsung will agree the phone got defect. and worse... the owner will feel bad about his phone.

noticed the free bt set (samgsung hm1100) does not come with charger. need to use the one that came with the phone. bt manual says travel charger may be included, depending on region. i just not for MY.

moboplayer should work as well.

Added on July 7, 2011, 8:34 amhmmm... care to share what was wrong with the first 2 sets?

you were there at around 630pm, isit?

let me know when you figure out how... right now, same thing for me. so end up, i start mobo, then select the file i want to play from mobo.

i think this has been mentioned... if you put in your card and surf (if you have the gateway, etc setup), you will still be surfing the net. only thing is... without data package, your will be charged as per usage. could be 10sen/ kb or something.

not sure if its possible to ask telco to disable all data and only allow sms/ voice calls.

even some dumbphones can access and download data -- dumbphones like SE k618i. as long as got browser and you can use it (settings, etc are correct), you get charged.


again, i like to say diff people have diff use for the phone. i'd like to think my smartphone can last me at least 5yrs. i dun think i need the latest and the fastest. and it is still phone first... pda second. gaming third. in such case for me, i would surely want it to last as long as possible.
