I'm rather conservative when using my gadgets, so I don't overclock them.

The phone was generating heat while I was using it, surfing, downloading stuff while it's connected to 3G/HSDPA network.

I thought it would not generate much heat at all. So, hot pocket ahead, still.

Paiseh.

You are probably the first person that I ever heard saying "love Maxis". lol.

Maxis gives you unlimited data for overseas roaming? Don't think any of our carrier does, or you are on those really premium plans?

Added on November 29, 2011, 12:26 amMy mistake as I thought S2's audio hole was at bottom. Must be too much GNex photos.

For my experience from Maxis to U Mobile... the only bill shock I get was, the bill was well within limit, or cheap in comparison.

Back then when I was signed with Maxis plan, I constantly have problems sharing photos to FB using the FB app. Halfway might get timed out or just hanged. But with U mobile's network, never face this problem so far. Maybe because the network still not many people yet, so I better enjoy it while I can.

Call and SMS services so far so good, if you have used Celcom before. I'm not 100% sure, if 3G voice call rides on U Mobile only, or data on U, while voice on Celcom. Though when it drops to 2G (domestic roaming, which this option is not available on Samsung phones and GNex, though some CM7 ROM might have it), you will be riding on Celcom's network for voice calls.

The voice quality and coverage were really good. Even back then when on Maxis, I would have to drop to 2G to try to get better voice call quality, at times. Now I don't remember ever doing that, so I guess it's good. Don't even bring Digi into the picture (no offense to Digi supporter/lovers), the coverage/signal quality for voice is really really bad. What's up with Digi anyway?

Why not try a prepaid U mobile for testing?

I have managed to get connected to 3G/H in Penang island, near coastal area. Never had the chance to go deep into town area in the heart of the island though. Will report back if I go there again. I think U mobile has expanded their coverage to Penang state as well?

U mobile will be using Maxis' 3G network to covers "dark areas" of U mobile. In this sense, U mobile might have the best coverage (data) in the end, with the support from both Celcom and Maxis networks combined together.

Just tried this, I don't see MyFM in the list.

It says "Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player." when I click on MY FM.

Just realised I don't have Flash installed in my phone. No wonder it never prompted me to update Flash.

Will try to make it work then, loading using office line was really slow. Wonder if it was blocked by firewall.

EDGE will be on the 2G (Celcom).

Lately U mobile have been coughing up, keep roaming instead of going into 3G signal, though there's H everywhere I go, so have to force it into WCDMA. Gotta find way to set the phone to "prefer WCDMA"

Comparing against GNote? That's a bit steep to ease my heart.

Can say it's cheaper than S2's RRP?

G or non-G?

Added on November 29, 2011, 4:23 pmNexS with 2 years plan selling for RM199 now. Perhaps it's a sign that Maxis is bringing in GNex?

I fear the worst.

Besides that, SME doesn't carry NexS, meaning it's not branded under Samsung.

You mean it's lower than GNote then? I was just kidding about being lower than S2's price, knowing that it wouldn't happen.

Maybe optimise for GT-I9100G (OMAP4430) version, and not GT-I9100 (Exynos)?

I heard the cap will be 64kbps (not kByte, but kbit). Basically, nothing you can do with it, other than just messaging.

There is NO contract for U mobile's postpaid. You can terminate any time you want, bill will be calculated based on pro-rated figure.

Process is, make sure your current line is not tied to any contract, then just go over to the new carrier's counter and tell them you wanna do an MNP. That's all.

Do call the bank to update them on your MNP as some banks don't send SMS to non original carrier's phone prefix, if you get what I mean.

Only good for U mobile users, as Maxis is not using U mobile's data coverage. It's like a 1-way deal.

non-G is a good phone. If the warranty still runs, 1250 is a good deal.

Cause you are willing to pay double the price for GNex?

If I got spare cash, I'll go for SGS2 to replace my SGS. Then get GNex to make it my primary phone while SGS2 make it a secondary. Good for snapping photos.

Do be informed that, zero-lag shutter also means that your subject might not be in focused, if you are snapping a moving subject while forcing this feature.

The focus speed was pretty much the same as my SGS, if not faster.

Assuming that you are ok with out of focus shot, then it's fine.

From my test yesterday, it still takes about 0.3 to 1/2 a second to focus to subject in indoor lighting, but it's continuous focus though, so it might saves you some time from manual focus before snapping.

Luckily you didn't say you can't walk straight. lol.

Well, if you already have SGS2, you can proceed with a tablet. There will always be the next Nexus.

Of course, what's stopping you?

No 1 wants to tag along?

To be precise, Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound kernel.

Added on December 1, 2011, 11:42 pmYeah, I'd rather you list out the cons and have us soon to be owner be prepared for what shortcomings that we don't see from reviews.

1st thing I heard was battery life left much to be desired. Of course, with sync and 3G usage, not just wifi/offline mode.
