S-pen does not require a battery,but im wondering what they use to power the pen, because then pen have a button, press it for certain task.

hmmm... could be sth like what was used in HP 2740p notebooks....

was checking it out... some dun require battery. from wikipedia:
QUOTE
Passive tablets, most notably those by Wacom, make use of electromagnetic induction technology, where the horizontal and vertical wires of the tablet operate as both transmitting and receiving coils (as opposed to the wires of the RAND Tablet which only transmit). The tablet generates an electromagnetic signal, which is received by the LC circuit in the stylus. The wires in the tablet then change to a receiving mode and read the signal generated by the stylus. Modern arrangements also provide pressure sensitivity and one or more switches (similar to the buttons on a mouse), with the electronics for this information present in the stylus itself, not the tablet. On older tablets, changing the pressure on the stylus nib or pressing a switch changed the properties of the LC circuit, affecting the signal generated by the pen, which modern ones often encode into the signal as a digital data stream. By using electromagnetic signals, the tablet is able to sense the stylus position without the stylus having to even touch the surface, and powering the pen with this signal means that devices used with the tablet never need batteries. Activslate 50, the model used with Promethean Ltd white boards, also uses a hybrid of this technology.


so... you need to touch the screen or hovering on top is also enough? smile.gif

If dont use battery then surely need to touch the screen. If use battery maybe just hovering kindda like laser pointer ~~lol~~
*
not necessary... like in the wikipedia and also from what i understand abt the HP 2740p notebook... no need battery for the pen. on the HP... pen can be hovering...

but ya... besides the screen (which i think is no longer an issue), this pen will also be a concern if it uses battery. for me anyway... smile.gif

hmmm... the position of the pen in the phone... not very ideal right? would it drop off after a year or so of use -- it looks like its located at the bottom right -- can just fall off the phone?!?

Girls with small hand also can use. If fingers cannot reach when typing, they still can use the stylus :-)

well, this phone is meant to be used with two hands... i've yet to come across someone who can hold the phone and use the stylus with one hand. smile.gif

this morning... holding my sgs 2 and looking at it... it felt kinda small... hmmm... is this a sign i should consider the note? smile.gif

Such a pity, it doesn't have NFC.
*
never a concern for me. for me... NFC is still a nice to have.

i know NFC is not just about mobile payment... the thing is... not many phones in MY have NFC yet. so imagine wanna share files, etc via NFC... you ask everyone... no one says they have that.

i think NFC will also be a 'standard feature' like what BT is in another 2-3 years time. when apple starts to put that as standard feature... then ya... it's the time. fact is... so many iphone users around ma. smile.gif

Well, its one of HTC features that Samsung dont have :-( But that features got nothing to do with either Sense or Touchwiz UI. It's more to the phone itself
~~just saying~~

i tot there are apps to watch stocks... no?

lol my hands feel itchy as well.... But I think I will wait for Digi bring in the package, the price will be cheaper....

lol... this wait for digi thingy... i also can understand. i'm still on the fence... if i decide i want SGN, the thing will be...

digi = cheaper (subsidised handset) but 1 year warranty and the phone is probably going to be out only 3mths later
SEP = 2 years warranty but still have to get a data plan (but no handset discount from this)

if only digi and samsung could work out something where warranty is the same. i know HTC sets from digi also get 2 years warranty. why samsung so kiamsiap with warranty?!

This phone should be able to play full HD videos right? biggrin.gif
*
well, sgs2 also can play FullHD (1080p) videos. but if you noticed, FullHD video is supposed to be 1920x1080 screen resolution. so for fullhd movies played back on note, dun think one can really enjoy the experience.

720p videos (some refer to this as HD-Ready) is 1280x720. so yes, you can really enjoy the experience since Note is 1280x800. smile.gif

but having said all the above, 5" is considered small screen as compared to those on TV. so, not much difference, imho. play dvd quality also should be good enough for our eyes.

1 more thing the pen can do now is capture screenshot. tongue.gif just press the button on S-pen,tap n hold the screen.
Also by flip ur hand through the display. I dont see any demo video did it,but SME trainer show to us last time.

its not just an ordinary pen. Can go beyond that in future brows.gif

Also the touch screen i notice there is some kind of sensor which not have in other samsung's devices. Solely for note i believe right now hmm.gif

i m intrigued by one of the note videos...

the one where the two guys where filming the finger/ hand puppet video.

it would seem like they were editing video. if the apps comes with the note, that is one heck of an apps and adds as another + to reasons to get this.

ya... more poison. *sigh*

If on contract you had to wait for Maxis first lor. Then DiGi followed by Celcom :-)

*sigh* confirmed same cycle as sgs2? i was hoping the yellow fellow would run faster and grab this contract b4 maxis... i guess they have never been the first to offer anything other than white sgs2.

Truth is, i dont care much on which telco get the exclusive rights to sell any phones as i never been on contract with any of the four telcos. I cannot tahan being forced married for a year or two. Feel better being independant. Can move any which way i choose :-))
*
difference between bachelor and married man... lol...

seriously, i look at it... tahan 1 year with a telco i know can provide decent network... i get to buy the phone at cheaper price. why not? after 1 year (which can be as much as rm400), then change lor... in the case of digi's smart plan (rm48) and the sgs2... data plan considered almost free (if you look at the discount for the phone).

well... i'd be really happy if Maxis dun have Samsung Note. then no need to wait for silly 2-4 weeks for so-called exclusive to end.

i was looking at the specs on engadget:

Accelerometer: STMicroelectronics k3dh

any idea how to transfer my pdf files into the note? or i must still have a mini sd?

i guess it should be the same like SGS2. need to install kies first so it could then install the drivers and then work when you plug into usb.

1st... a disclaimer. smile.gif
i can't be 100% sure about this kies thingy... ya? what is mentioned earlier and below is based on experience with sgs2. from reviews, sgn is just a bigger (and slightly faster) version of sgs2.

samsung kies is meant to be installed on the notebook/ pc. after you install it, you can then supposedly use it to update the samsung phone firmware (when there's a new one). it should also install the drivers, etc to allow the notebook to detect the phone (and any memory card).

samsung kies... download from samsung website.

hope that helps.
