i do consider its kinda too big for my hand as well, what about sgs2 then, i was thinking that this g-note would be one of my long-term phone maybe 2-5 years

sgs2 is too common for me already, g-nexus is i think only lies in android 4.0 as their main benefits while sgs2 and sgn will have android 4.0 released later...

hurm, drawbacks is only the size, video capture (noise generated or hiss sounds). g-nexus, for around 2k and for that feature alone, maybe i would prefer to go g-note for an all-round features of g-s2 and g-nexus.

maybe its just me, i prefer to have lots of feature that i could use them when i need it later and unique feature or u could say im a tech geek biggrin.gif

sry to have posted something would be pointing out my opinions blink.gif

g-pop is actually g-mini... saw this 1 store sell g-mini but the the sticker on the screen says g-pop

yes sgs2 totally common
well, i still prefer SGN, is up to u
better go try before you u buy it

i did tried it out several times until recently tried it for real set without the one displayed by shop that has alarm system attached, quite comfortable on my hand, 70% of the time can do it with single hand. definitely going to get g-note

off topic a little bit, for samsung phones, how can i know if the phone r original warranty or not? maybe can post a link or picture to identify this? afraid later will tio ap set

Tq. I think this phone is available via resellers?
I actually want to sign-up for celcom RM88 for a yr or 1.5yr. From the phone selection list, I have a few choices.
Galaxy s2, s+, or W. (well semua samsungĀ  cool2.gif )
Is the android a "hardware hungry program"?
Pardon me cos i really a noobie with android system.
I did consider moto razr, but its outa my budget. Duwan 2spend so much on a phone cos i gona dump some $ on music instruments.

depending on what u wan to use the phone with android of cos, so far the slowest cpu that can support android that i know is 600mhz, thats g-mini, my friend using it and when play angry birds it got lag.

rendering a graphic, calculations or watching video requires cpu, RAM specifically dont pose much of a problem since RAM purpose is to keep temporary file inside it until closed/saved.

these r just what i understand about cpu and ram... not very sure about phone systems. but should be the same concept. hope this info wont confuse u guys out there

hehehe, i dun know how to describe it.. i mean does the android program requires high specs phone to run it?
I notice this wen each android software version update..
Yeah u got a point bout the RAM concept.
I just wana get the feel of a android program. It was coincidence i have sum $ to "play" another phone set. kiddingx3
I just use it for vids, listen songs & surf d net.
I guess everyone who own a big screen phone will feel that "not so gud feeling" when switchin to a smaller screen set. I want a bigger screen.
That's my only requirement. Between the samsung S+ and W, which is a better? I baca d comparison in GSMarena, the S+ is better in term of the
- display (S+ had super amoled)
- bigger screen
- larger internal H/Disk

Anyone own this two phone before? Mind to give ur feedbacks? Thank you again

surely g-s+ wins in terms of direct comparison, cpu r the same just like u stated,i only know that g-w pricing in msia is around 1k, not sure about s+, should be 1.2-1.5k, not really sure, if got extra y not go for s+, at least u dont need to keep to plug into pc, swap between movies when the memory is full, largest would be phablet, g-note... haha with 16gb internal memory of cos...

i noticed u mentioned earlier to go for phone with postpaid plan, in my own opinion though, its not worth it to me since the costs would be much higher than u buy the set only, im the type dont like to have lots of phone numbers at my arsenal.
