Provided that you could evade our beloved custom from charging any tax on it. If they they decide to charge max ie 30% how? smile.gif

Or are you saying that the phone wont be taxed ? I have no idea

NO tax and duties on mobilephones - NO need to worry. If holdup at customs just have to apply SIRIM permit RM 100 to clear it out

Early adopters are always ready to pay a premium. If I want it badly I will not mind paying even RM3K for it
I remember I paid RM3.5K for the first 64GB,3G ipad from Australia and final launch price was RM2.4K. I paid close to RM2.8K for the SGS II ( from UK). But I don't mind as I was prepared for the lower prices when launched locally.
Those who think the AP and imported prices too high, just wait for local release

If there is any, I am sure the TS will have posted it in page 1
AP sets now selling RM 2399 to RM2599 : google for sellers at garage sales. Some of the early users pay about RM 2.7-2.8k bringing in directly themselves

Anyone here owns both the galaxy nexus & iPhone 4S?
How do the two compare in terms of snappiness (browser, email, calendar etc.) and battery life?

I see a lot of ppl using these 5v 1amp charger to charge their handphone. or some of them even use the ipad 2A charger to charge the phone.

Just a word of reminder: Plz don't do that so often unless you confirm that your battery can sustain such high current. Else, it'll only damage your battery(shorter life span) or even worst case if the protection circuit goes wrong, explosion  might happens.

Or any1 can confirm that our handphone battery can sustain such high current charging ?

I have been using the 2A charger ( including car charger ) to charge ALL my android phones, tablets , blackberry for the last 2 years and never has any issue with batteries

TS, update the front page with this: http://www.facebook.com/SamsungUnivez/posts/413967524977

Its bad news though.........  I guess 1 of the forumer posted this.... as he said it will be January 2012 and he asked the Sasmung FB wall.

It is only a month away ; potential buyers will be happy probably with a lower price versus present AP prices

I play around demo unit like 10 minutes.  Seems like the experience not buttery smooth. Still far behind ios.

Kinda disappointed. Maybe my expectations is too high.  sad.gif
It's 4.0.1 btw.

Demo units experience often inaccurate. You should do a rest of phone first before test. Have few iphone 4s owners has testified it is equally smooth if not better. Most web reviews has also acknowledge this

You should rightfully ask seller. Do read the seller warranty terms and conditions - he has clearly listed

Time for directd to clear stock as once official release at RM2099, his prices will definitely drop by at least RM 100-200 for AP set

If you’re looking for bundle offer for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, you can now expect both DiGi & Celcom to offer the device at subsidised pricing with the usual plans like the Galaxy Note. As usual Maxis is still staying away from Android devices, except for its recent Motorola RAZR bundling.

So how much would the Galaxy Nexus go for on contract? Since the Galaxy Nexus is priced between the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note, we are expecting the contracted pricing as follows:

Celcom RM1150-RM1300 (on 18 months Celcom Exec 250)
DiGi RM1249-RM1399 (on 24 months DG Smart Plan 68)
Originally planned for December release, the Galaxy Nexus is currently slated on the 13th January, which is just 2 Fridays away. For those who can’t wait, you can get a Galaxy Nexus from grey importers for as low as RM2040.

Noted one seller in garage sales selling AP only for RM 1999 and price is still negotiable !!

Doesn't the upfront RM300 payment serves as a credit where your monthly bill will deduct from the RM300 until it used up?
*
yes the rm300 will be rebated back to you over the plan period

inside app drawer, Look at Top Left, there's "Apps" and "Widgets". Click on widgets or scroll to right, hold on a widget you would like to add and place it on homescreen.

Good to see you here Benny

Two things I do not like about the G Nexus:

1. Vol tones too soft for speakers ( ringtones and other media playback) - is even worse than my SGS II and present Galaxy Note. Install Vol + but not much improvement
2. The vol up/down button is located too way near the mid section - it should be at least 1 cm higher up. So many ocassions while holding the phone, always accidentally press it and many times while I just want to switch off the phone - it boots into fastboot mode as accidentally fingers press on it while pressing power button

Agree with you with the above 2 points but I like the nexus form factor. The size is just nice for me and the high resolution make the web browsing easier. I got Note as well but Note is too big for me to carry around. ICS is fast and smooth compare to gingerbread with touchwiz in Note. Have you rooted you gnex? I am still finding easier way to root it. Not yet have time to read xda.

Yes just rooted and have CWM installed. After reading so many methods settle for this - it is darn easy
Will only test cooked roms probably later tomorrow
