Kingston even class 10 is indeed slow and I am using it in my Tab. My Sandisk class 4 and DNA class 10 is way much better than it at least by 2-3 times on file transfer

If you are on budget - try DNA or Kingmax . Or get Sandisk at a slight premium only
Forget about even Transcend, Apacer,  - I have bad experience with them - unreliable

By default all apps are installed in the hidden 2 GB partition. Most android apps are small in size , few MB only - meaning you can install up to 100-200 apps. For game apps, a well designed game will install its game data on the visible partition of about 11 GB. Unless you install a lot of Gameloft games the internal SD card and its viewable partition is more than enough. I have about 150 apps plus few games and I still have 50 % left in the 2 GB partition and 50 % space left in the viewable 11 GB partition
With the external SD card, you can move apps to ext sd card if you wish but this does not work for all apps. When ICS is on the Note, you cannot have this option of even moving apps to ext SD card anymore
I use the ext sdcard just to store my nandroid backups, titanium backup, SMS backup, music , ebooks, videos

Better buy Sandisk. I have Kingmax and it went corrupt twice already. If you have enough funds, go for 32GB, if not 16GB should be enough unless you have tons of HD videos.

do get Sandisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC instead of normal Sandisk MicroSDHC Card

16GB Ultra SDHC = RM120

16GB Extreme SDHC = RM190

16GB Extreme Pro SDHC = RM280

8GB Ultra CF = RM110
16GB Ultra CF = RM200

8GB Extreme CF = RM190
16GB Extreme CF = RM330

16GB Extreme Pro CF = RM550
8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo = RM100

Sandisk 16GB Class 4 MicroSDHC + MicroSD Adapter = RM80

Sandisk 8GB Class 6 Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC + Sandisk MicroSD Adapter = RM70

Only the last 2 entries are micro SD cards. The rest are full size SD cards and CF cards

What do you mean a day - 24 hours ??? I am a medium user - about 2 hours browsing, RSS, Newsfeed, Tweeter, Facebook updates every hour, email check 3 accounts every 30 mins, few calls and sms, 30 mins video youtube  - easily last me 12 -14 hours/day. I am happy with this
So depends on your expectations of battery life
Install betterbatterystats to check what apps is waking up your phone when not in used

At least minimum full 2 to 3 days

Roque mean bad app or an app goes haywire/ran amuk. Running unnecessary in background when it suppose to sit idle. 800 - 600 = 200MB of RAM left. And that's a lot of un-used RAM. For what..? RAM un-used is a wasted RAM  :-P

Aiyohh..a lot of phone system apps also use the RAM so your phone can function. Of course you wont get a clean 1GB RAM. :-)

No..not like PC at all. Gingerbread can manage its own RAM. Once your RAM is fully used, the phone will auto cleared whichever oldest, un-used and un-necessary apps.

holy shite mine rapidshare is showing 12 hours. i tot its unifail's contribution. so uploaded is faster? 

why not spend abit extra for a longer warranty period and higher resale value later?

sen heng always has this 3 yrs thing.they have their own tchnican if i am not mistaken.so whatever happens to ur phone they cover until 3 yrs. alot of other phones from sen heng like that.

i got mine sealed set sme 1 yr warranty white for 2k.

nope...but if ur battery left only like 20% and below...u can increase to level 3 (level 4 for pro version)...it saves a lot (really2 save)...but phone performance will reduces a lot...but come on, u still wanna browsing/games/videos when battery is low?

hi every one here, i planing 2 buy a galaxy note，
n i need your opinion,
i buy with credit card (installment),
now 3 way 2 go,
1st go to seng heng (rm2299 plus rm87 get extra 2 years warranty)
2nd buy with out site handphone shop (rm2230 n get extra accessories, maybe pouch or screen protector )
3rd buy 2nd hand by using cash (rm1700-rm1900)
which 1 u choose? sorry 4 poor english.

if u use sp then the normal silicone casing should be enough... 

1. side flip - pro: more elegant as make the phone just like a book. con: really hard when wanna grab the phone with single hand or snap photo in landscape mode.

2. up-down flip - pro: easy single hand grab, easy photo in landscape as the flip down portion easily use for extented grip. con: when flip down it make the overall phone look funny??
