Yayy I got my whitey already!! rclxm9.gif

Snapped this in my car, kenot tahan liao~ tongue.gif

An update for me:

Good news to Johoreans. To those who are waiting for pre-orders, just cancel it and get it from Celcom roadshow at Sutera Mall. Got my unit just now, and one of the chicks there brought me to the Celcom store on the 1st floor. And to my surprise, they have quite a no of available stocks in their locked cabinet liao~ shocking.gif Around 30+ of Whiteys, maybe more! brows.gif
And yes, you can purchase it without contract at its official RRP of RM2199. Easy and fast deal. tongue.gif

Congratz!!!!  cheers.gif
Damn, getting ready for my balik kampong trip to Ipoh. Can't go Sutera Mall, hopefully they'll have stock at Ipoh. Heard Celcom roadshow at AEON Ipoh Station 18...  unsure.gif

Ayya, just go there a while la. They curi lots of stocks no wonder other places got none. tongue.gif Not really many people just now. Celcom really F-ed up the launch in JB. Should had chose Jusco/AEON Bukit Indah for launching. More people over there.

Glad you got yours.  Damn, just call the Danga Mall Maxis roadshow sales girl, she told me the courier got delay, may even delay to next Tuesday. But the package price will remain at RM999 though.  sigh....can't play during weekend.

Thanks, uncle Benny for the confirmation on 64GB microSD. So you have done the rooting.  thumbup.gif

Been using it for few hours, gotta say it's so fast and fluid, no lag whatsoever. Surprisingly not hot at all, but later gonna test some HD games on it.

And really, I didnt miss the Pebble Blue already. White is just beautiful. Not feeling cheap on my hand at all despite some reviewers say it feels cheap. biggrin.gif

haha ayya no need la bro. White to me does indeed look elegant as well. But perhaps thats just my eyes. tongue.gif

What makes blue beautiful in my eyes is its own unique brushed hairlines effect. The colour is just OK la. So no miss Blue at all. Just my beauty Whitey. laugh.gif

Like infinite times. That's what I felt when I fiddled around with my friends s3. White looks beautiful can't wait to get it tomorrow brows.gif too excited cannot sleep

Ya, White does look beautiful. Not my 1st preferred color though, but now that I have it already, well, it's just a colour. tongue.gif

And here's the pros of this phone after few hours of playing with it (briefly written of course):

+ Fast and fluid UI. Or should I say, very fast? laugh.gif
+ Colours look vibrant and sharp in my eyes. Played the demo video on the phone, it was just 'wow'
+ Camera's fast, touching it and bam, on cam ady. Front cam quality is superbly beautiful as well!
+ Smart Stay, Smart Alert do work like a charm. For Smart Stay, the eye icon isnt showed all the time but once a while it blinks the icon on the notification bar, perhaps signalling it is detecting my face staring to it.
+ Notification LED is just nice. From far could see it already.
+ Speaker loudness is OK. I cant say how much OK, but if putting it against Sensation XE, it's far more better than Sensation XE.

Cons? Hardly found one but would like to share it here few of its weaknesses la.

- White unit, despite being Hyperglazed and all, still it is a glossy surface therefore it's prone to oily and sweaty palm but comparing it with my sister's white Sony Arc S, it doesnt suffer the bad effect despite being a glossy unit, as much as the Arc S. A few oil stains are visible but not that noticeable. Not a major thing for me.
- Hurm that's just it for the cons. Will find some and report it back here again if I ever found another. tongue.gif

Couldnt stand the stock S3 keyboard therefore I decided to give the SwiftX keyboard a try and straight bought it to replace the stock one.

IMO, stock SwiftKeyX > HTC XE > Samsung S3..

That's the only thing that I dislike.

your sentence kinda confusing.

Digi SmartPlan RM48 x 12 Months + RM1799 for S3 = RM 2,375. (so it is RM116 more than the RRP RM2199)

Haha yeah I was there too and the salesperson told me the same thing, when plenty of white everyone ask for blue. Yesterday they have plenty of blue, everyone ask for white !  laugh.gif

But dang good job to Digi ..the number of demo units there  blink.gif
Don't see many people buying, mostly just look see. Totally different from the scenario given in this thread!

your nick and signature are confusing too.. tongue.gif

some people just love to talk kok here la.. hahah.. laugh.gif
