Sure got stock for the free gifts at Taman Maluri

most of my frens are also particular about the customization and abundancy of apps. they think that the custom rom in android phone is so great and they also keep mentioning that android and iphone have many apps while WP7 has no apps.

I try to explain to them that actually customization is only for show only, not practical at all because it does not affect much on the function/feature. also, actually the apps on android and iphone are many but many are repeated also. in fact, WP7 has less apps but the major apps eg angry bird, whatsapp can also be found in WP7. when i wan to explain, they just don't believe and they even condemn me because i am promoting a rubbish.. they think that i am stupid to support WP7. they just wan to be mainstream and afraid of ppl laughing at them for using WP7. so i really have nothing to say, i also lazy to argue with them anymore.

I will support WP7 as long as it suits me no matter what other ppl say

Actually its nothing to do with the number of apps, just that to them if your platform doesn't have X app its not a real phone.

For windows phone, X was
- angry birds

Then once it got that, X became
- whatsapp

I Think the complaint now for X should be....
- Instagram?

I agree use reason and logic about your purchase.m Like Nokia n8 people keep saying is slow, lag, crap but until today even iPhone users or sgs II cost twice and faster cant take the photos I can with the nokia n8 . When I get lumia I'll do the same again. Buying a phone can't make you unique but how you adept to your phone makes you unique. Like. So by listening you become common they tell you what suits them not suits you just my opinion

very true indeed one of my friend was lookin for a new smartphone and i told him about Nokia lumia 800 and he dun wan, he just wan sg2 or iphone 4s, bet he didnt even bother trying out the lumia. in the end he got the sgs2

good for you

many year ago before android os was recognize by many user that time many ppl are still using symbian , ios i guess?~

then one day Android started became more popular, which i still remember one of my friend who run smartphone business never really bother about android. Because still new in market no demand, i was that time wanted to try android after changing so many winMo, he bash on me.. Y U 1 android??!! Android Good Meh!?? so what now??!! Android everywhere!!

Same thing happen to me again, i ask for Windowsphone 7 when 1st gen HD7 launched, he bash on me AGAIN!! same old slogan : Y U 1 windows phone good meh~~~??!!!

On first setup you can choose the Custom phone configuration option to turn it off initially already.

that's a good analogy for what's happening now. True, in Malaysia all these marketplace problems are hampering adoption by normal users, but traction is increasing more than before so don't count it out yet.

Sorry to ask but
if anyone is selling the cyan(blue) purity earphones for a good price, do not hesitate to PM me.

Thank You

Hi guys, finally able to get my hand on lumia 800 + purity HD headphone after queuing for 6 hours yesterday (number 30)

I havent really start using the phone yet... cause im thinking to port my line from Digi to Maxis (new mini sim card) b4 start with the new phone.

First impression is... i Charged my phone at night to full.. (no 8 hours charging)....go to bed...wake up 12pm.. check phone... battery = 75% left... I dont have sim card insert and no wifi connected (did play 10 minutes d night b4 though)... now battery is really as bad as wat ppl said...

So.. is there a problem if we just use Malaysia Windows Live ID? I havent registered any yet because of the problem u guys addressed. Can I access Marketplace + pay apps if using Malaysia ID? also May I know XBOX LIVE... is it really just for XBOX? So I do not need to bother about Xbox Live IF i do not Own a Xbox? I'll buy games from Marketplace for the phone instead?

why is the back of my nokia lumia 800 so warm ?

Depends on individual perspective phones are item that lose its value over time. For me I buy a mobile phone to suit my usage. I haven't bought phones like many years. currently most people they buy phones because people recommend or everyone recommend. Different people have different needs I seen some ppl have sgs II and iPhone they don't even use apps they bought it because friends recommend

i dont think there's blue purity headphone...

looking around only white and magenta... as black was a limited units according to those who wrote about the pavilion launching...

Hmm... The battery problem sounds very serious. Which apps do you have that are running in the background?

EDIT: On second thought, since this is a new phone, you might want to use it for about a week first and then repeat the test to see if there are improvements.

Usually the phone shouldn't drain more than 5% unless there are a lot of incoming messages/push notifications.

Actually after 100% charging.. i did try to use it indoor but gps unable to detect... so exit and i tried the browser.. Surf lowyat.net.. scroll up n down.. close..

Since there is no proper way to close the apps we have opened. how do we know if there is actually any apps running on the background?

AFAIK, the reason should be because XBox wasn't officially available in Malaysia; Microsoft never officially launch XBox in Malaysia; Hence, we don't get XBox as free gift like Singpore.

This phone is very similar like iPhone, with all the limitations and restrictions, have to use ZUNE (like iTunes) to transfer files, etc. It's smooth and stable like iPhone.
BUT... it's better than iPhone in terms of features/functions: there is People Hub (social networks integration), this alone is enough to be an amazing experience... those who have been using the N900 or N9 will know this very well. Android tried to implement this but it was a failure, very messy.
There're also Office built-in, and also good email integration.
The one thing that it's still lacking from iPhone is the Apps and Games department, but soon this will eventually catch up. How many apps/games isn't really important, most important is those really useful, popular, in demand apps and games are made available.
One thing unique for Nokia's Windows Phone is, there is this "Contacts Transfer" app (which allows you to transfer contacts easily form any device via Bluetooth), and Nokia Drive (voice guided navigation).


Compare with Android (e.g. SGSII), it's very different. Android is about customization, flexibility, freedom, power. It really depends what you want, if you want simple, reliable, easy to use, then Android is not for you. Android can be complicated and take some time to pickup and learn, the first time it maybe very hard and complicated for some people (but hey, you only need to learn once; same like a digital camera, first time you purchase, wahhhh so many funcitons, blur blur; as you use and learn, you'll later find that, you have learn everything and WANTS MORE, why no this, why no that). The thing with Android (or those flexible, customizable, freedom OS) is, the user needs to be educated and knows what he/she is doing; It's just like using a computer, if you customize it a lot, run a lots of services and programs, don't blame the computer if it become sluggish, lag..... The user needs to know how to properly use the device, knows the limit of the device (e.g. ram, processor, etc). In short, with Great Powers comes Great Responsibilities.
If you don't need all that and just want a simple and reliable phone, then go for those simple and easy to use phone like iPhone or Windows Phone 7 (e.g. Nokia Lumia)

@clivengu

did you update to the latest version of OS via Zune

I can use the phone one whole day for browsing + music + games.

The first thing i must installed is ZUne? then i can directly update from there? I havent plug the phone into my computer.. will it guide me through it

google for zune, install, plugin your device wait for software update detection . that's all.

if they still call it windows mobile then it's hard to treat them seriously because it's windows phone. Android may have a lot of apps but I found android to be laggy and crashes all the time. The experience feels like beta software on a device unsuited to handling so much multi tasking. It was so terrible for me I sold off my android in 3 months. Was totally fed up of it lagging and crashing.

IPhone is good though.
