Samsung Galaxy S3 Review by PhoneArena

Penang also want!

so someone need to tell us where the event exactly will b held..and then lets ambush..!!

My own experience is like this...

I have a Celcom USB dongle. I bought S2 from a retailer, and subscribe to U Mobile U28 Plan, without contract.
If I had bought S2 from U Mobile, I would need to subscribe to U88 Plan.

Since I don't make a lot of voice calls, I gather that I could save about RM30 every month without contract. That is, a saving of about RM720 over a 2-year period.

Of course, I could have just discontinued my Celcom plan, and gone with U88 instead. I could do tethering and surf Net on the PC. But since U Mobile's coverage is still very limited at this time, I think it is better to keep the Celcom USB dongle for now.

mid valley. but d launch was with maxis

i see.. yea.. mostly surely maxis will be the 1.. but couldn't attend anyway.. come bak i straight rush buy.. mauahahaha...

hard to say.. the galaxy note was launched with digi and celcom.. galaxy tab is launched with celcom..

i hate it when SME decides to do their launching with telco, having us to sign up 2 yrs contract in order to enjoy the promo and free gifts. they should held their own launching for those supporters that wants to buy the device off contract.

it's like helping the telco to boost sales instead of their own sales. if they can do a separate launch themselves at the same time, then for sure telco have no business liao.. so what SME doing is actually protecting the telco's interest, not the customer's interest..

if not mistaken, for galaxy note, they only give out free flip pouch for first 9999 customers and nothing else.

exactly. i never buy into this telco/samsung partnership. it is only for people who have no plan. but for the rest of us i just want the damn phone f*** the plan. i hope samsung understand that there is a big market for buyers who just want the phone and only the phone (and its freebies of course).

depends on the price, i guess if its the same with iphone, i go for contract on S3.. but i still have contract on iphone though.. guess i have to buy it outright..

i do think that samsung actually realises that but they need to take care of the interest of the telco as well. pretty dilemma situation i would say, as telco will have some kind of agreement to have the exclusive partnership for the launch, hence others all need to wait, including normal customers who wants to buy off contract and enjoy early bird benefits for being supportive.

seeing how other phones like lumia and hox giving out attractive freegift, i doubt SME will provide the same as they are not worried about the sales. at least, not as much as the nokia and htc. but with HOX competing head on, we will see how it goes and hopefully the consumers will be the ultimate winner..

never hav buy any phone with contract yet till now..prefer separately..=)

but u go for which telco or plan though ?

Now, I have subscribing Celcom 50 minutes + data plan. I planned to stay with the plan but I want buy SGSIII. What are your suggestion?

using celcom rite now..for me its quite good for the coverage=)

justifying from previous experience, most of the time i'll be staying places with wifi available(home+office), so a minimal plan voice+data plan shall be good enough.. it all depends on your personal phone usage and data usage. Other factor like network coverage also take into consideration.

call celcom and tell them u wanna renew yr contract with SGS3. they can work out for u.

really? they will customize a plan for me? i just want the phone (at retail price) and keep my original plan (i love my plan so much so please don't ask me to upgrade). they can work something to my liking?

that is really nice of celcom. i'll call now.
