You come too late liao. For XMas Promo, I inquire here and there for the XMas Promo, all SE outlet blur blur, have to call HQ "for them" and call them back. They all blur blur, somemore promotion start next day, all outlet still blur blur and tell Customer "no such promotion", never double confirm with HQ first.

Too bad. Hope they will improve their service and well informed; If not also, at least go check and find out, don't tell Customer, don't have or let Customer ownself call here and there to check. The staff seems not helpful and don't work with their heart. Hope this will change.

Yup, I also ask them there, they also late reply to me; but I think their FB is handle by someone else, e.g. PR team like Nokia with FH.

Anyway, the HQ know about it, but the outlets seems have no information or idea; communication problem and they also didn't try to check and find out. The gardens outlet better. Probably you can just highlight to them hope they can improve on it; they should know or find out about any promotion, if not sure can always check with HQ instead of tell customer don't have or don't care.

Yup, I know. I called those participating only; Those outlets staff reply say no such promotion, then I have to call back the HQ, and confirm, then call the outlet back, they say don't know, no news from HQ, instead of checking with HQ and call me back, have to force them to call HQ and check... very long story, in short, I have to become middle person do this and that call HQ and call back the outlet, like I'm the staff instead. Suppose the should do everything and inform the Customer.

Anyway, just let you know the situation and experience; hope they will take note and change.

I believe that's because I already call them up many times and follow up between them and the HQ. I also call some other participating which convenient for me to go, most same case.

In the end, Gardens outlet is better as the person in charge took more initiative to find out more.


Cause that time I plan to get PRO, saw this Promo and think wanna get Authorised set... so I try checking with those "participating" outlet to confirm, but seems NONE of them know anything (those outlet convenient for me, that is), and the PROMO starts TOMORROW. Anyway, the experience is like you're the organizer for this PROMO, and you have to call the HQ and each outlet, pass information, etc. help them check this and that, tell them got this got that. New Price also they don't know (before Promo is RM1399), then tell new price, say got free bluetooth, they also don't know, so no free gift... one of the outlet even say, if free bluetooth then no free car-charger (without confirming with HQ)
I wonder they even know there's a free limited Android Notepad also.
In short, bad experience.

Communication problem lo, this part needs to improve. Maybe you can help to let them know so they can change. This is good for them also.
When customer call up and ask, they should check with HQ and find out more information also, not just tell customer don't have, like don't want do business. No good lo and loosing potential Customers.

Anyway, just let you know only. Maybe you can help to let them know and improve their service.

Got tell already, but not sure the staff will do anything or not. Anyway, just tell only in case you know anyone or can help to inform them.
No worries.

Or can consider root as getting actual access rights, just like your PC Windows; You gain full access control.
The term jailbreak because iOS is far too strict, imagine if you buy a laptop and the Windows account given to you only "Guest" account with limited access rights and many restrictions. Hence why many people didn't like iOS or what it did.
When you got more control of the user's action, you get less problems and more stable system.
When you give more control and power to the user, it's harder to control and maintain, thus hard to ensure the system is stable.
With great power comes great responsibility. It good to have control on the user, but it doesn't mean the user should forever stay in that level and never improve or learn. So, there should be option for the user to unlock advance more or administrator mode. You buy the device, but only given limited access rights, that didn't sound right (well, at least for me).

Let's put in OS perspective since it's OS. By default, when you buy an OS, you should have root access granted, even if DEFAULT it's not enabled. So, not really I would consider modification, more like unlock or gain full access.
In terms of OS, with root access, you get full access and priviledge; Without root access, maybe you're just a power user, etc. in short, limited access right and priviledge.

No

Some questions:
1. Will be update available via OTA?
2. Installing via Sony Update software means fresh install, how do I backup all my settings and stuffs? Possible?
For Symbian or MeeGo, we can create a backup, and after fresh install, we just restore from backup, everything is restore as how it was, including SMS, Notes, Calendar, etc. Is it possible to do the same with Android?
Those backup to Google is just the Contacts and Calendar right?

Oh, thanks bro~
