I'm lazy of waiting...Will be joining SGS II group soon.

AT&T screwed me when they announced their version of SGSII without the physical keyboard.
Another N900 users joining samsung club.Nokia is indeed in deep sh*t eh?

Might be a tad late, but for those that have not read Anand's review on the SGS2 yet, please read it:

Took me almost an hour to read through, darnit. Anyways, it looks THE review to be referenced when anybody asks about the SGS2.

I mean, teardowns... wow.
*
Too bad only nerds will bother to look through the details. sweat.gif
Well,Anandtech primarily do review on computer stuff.No wonder they follow the same style for reviewing phone.
Still the detailed review make Engadget's review looks like lazy schoolchildrens review.

QUOTE(zero_kbom @ Sep 13 2011, 04:12 AM)
Holy crap, that review. *Looks at URL, oh yep, AnandTech, that to be expected from them*

Galaxy S2 is quite a monster of a phone. If only I wasn't too dead set on getting Mytouch 4G Slide for its Sensation innards, good camera and that friggin QWERTY keyboard, GS2 will be the one to buy. No contest.

Oh hi, Eiraku! How is your GS2/ Android compared to your previous N900/Maemo?
*
T-Mobile's 3G is incompatible with Malaysian telco's 3G network right? Or is there different version of MyTouch 4G?
I did consider buying MyTouch 4G at 1 point but gave up after seeing the ugly design.

QWERTY keyboard in kind of unicorn in Android devices nowdays.I pretty much gave up on getting any qwerty based android device after AT&T leaked keyboard version of SGS II turned out to be a false rumor.

As *former* owner of N900 I'll still sat Maemo have it's specialness even when compared to SGS II.Software aside hacking Maemo was pure fun.In Android there isn't much hacking just mix & match stuff to make your phone work better.
I still have to wait for few more days to get on hold of my own SGS II.But I already have plenty of action with my friends SGS II.For sure I have to agree that this phone delivers the punch as it's advertised.

Changing plan from getting N9 to SGS II was real pain...

As for the N9 and Meego (while we're on the subject) well, while it MIGHT turn out to be wonderful device in its own right, by now a superior device on its own means jack shit if it doesn't come with a good app ecosystem; one area in which Meego is sadly lacking as of now.

Apps turned out to be pretty useful after all lol.
*
N9 is good device & could be better if Nokia did give it decent chance to fight.
Elop pretty much killed linux in Nokia & it's time to move on even for hardcore maemo nerd like me.
I'm not going to let Nokia screw me again with another experimental device (I still miss my N900 though sad.gif )
Money if hard to find nowdays.Better spend the money on reasonable device.

^ At least that's better than CDMA case
With CDMA it's either call or data.Even with 3G.
LTE is different story though.

To people who don't know,Eiraku is kind of hardcore when it comes to modification & hacking whistling.gif
I've done my fair share of modding with with the Nokia N900 but he's probably one of the few users in LYN for hacking his N900 more than me laugh.gif

@newbie: You have JuiceDefender/Green power installed? Otherwise it has never really happened to me so no idea.

Also, turn OFF fast dormancy. Dialer - *#9900# - Disable fast dormancy. Should be quite a bit more stable, though I have no idea if our carriers ACTUALLY support FD or not.
*
FD was only tested by Nokia Siemens during Q4 of last year.So high chance it's not implemented in Malaysia yet.
You guys know that our telco is slightly slow when it comes to updating their network.

I guessed as much. Anyway, glad to have you on board SEA. Have always enjoyed the company of you and thw other N900 hardcores back in me Meamo days.

Anybody else defecting?
*
I defected with heavy heart you know...I'll still be active in N900 & N9 thread even though I don't have the device because I have soft spot for those devices.
Looking forward to bricking SGS II brows.gif

Majority of hardcore users already switched to SGS II.I think only left Andy now.

He's waiting for his SGS2 it seems.

I looked high & low for the best deal for the SME 2 years warranty set.Hence the delay.Got mine for RM1.9K.Should be receiving the phone tomorrow.
Hopefully very soon because I'm using SE w580 as temp phone.After 18 months of using smartphone it's almost impossible for me to adjust life to dumbphones.Mainly due the qwerty typing.

aikz... managed to get a good price for that black brick? Still can't believe how heavy it is now... now with the added battery. A beast of weight compared to the SGSII.
waist deep means I think he has it already... biggrin.gif

Hey,my black brick is a legendary brick which endured pretty much everything I throw at it you know...
Even had 4 OS in single phone at 1 time.When I sold the phone I asked the buyer to take care of that phone laugh.gif

I don't have my SGS II yet but already have plenty of action with my friends SGS II whistling.gif

You sure it's extra RM200? The one you're looking for is SME 1 year warranty?

I got mine for RM1900 SME 2 years warranty.AP is around RM1750.
I'm more than willing to pay RM150 for the extra 1 year warranty.
