Note2 like win all except the thickness and weight

what benny888 is trying to say is... if compare between i5 and s3... then can understand la. it's about the same size (not really, but close la)

i5 compare with note2 is very much different... screensize is no where near each other. one has added pen function.

they are different class. this one is like comparing apple with durian (pun intended).

this comparison really makes ip5 a shame...haha

I am also comparing both ip5 and note2 because I need to get a phone replacement so that it is nothing right or wrong if we compared both models, to me I also want to see which one can release in MY first then just decide. Hopefully Note2 wont make me wait too long.

Note 2 & Ipon 5 different market segments. Not in direct competition.

thiking of sell my s3 and sign plan for this note 2.... see how it goes when telco launch...

Buying a smartphone should solely be based on your NEEDs not your WANTS. This is important if you can only have one choice
Both has its pro n cons
Ask yourself what you need in the smartphone n you have your answer
Other reasons of buying is just buying for satisfaction n enjoyment n splashing money unnecessary and is alright if you have it
Regrettably you cannot have best of both phones
Decide based on your NEEDS not your wants
Look at your needs vs the features of the phone n decide which phone meet best your needs. As long as the phone can meet 80% of your needs that is your choice. Sorry you wont find one that can meet 100% of your needs . IPhone fans might disagree as they always harp theirs is best in the world n if so why the need even to compare with others?

+1

i think the key point here is the OS...Android Jelly Bean, hopefully it will be a huge improvement.

iOS is proven to be smooth and very stable

this one also depends on how one looks at it.

note is the heaviest and thickest... so, win la... haha..

Wow you really know sammy well. They never made commitment, but rather keep us wait and wait...lack of market sensitivity. As a consumer, i really give high credit for those can deliver what they committed...like what apple did.

samsung is clever in the way:
1) announce first
2) see what the fruit gonna make
3) amend the final product

remember what sammy did to first the galaxy tab 10.1?

they thought they are clever but they are actually not. Putting the uncertainty in product availability date might just drive your potential sales away.

I am siding with Apple too for the handling of product launch - they do it at very pro level - kudos to their marketing department. Just look at how the IP 4S was launched by Maxis. Compared to Samsung SIII initial launch - no stock for blue colour last minute, crazy limited stock for all outlets, no info on the stock replenish, etc. HTC Desire HD launched by DiGi 2 years back also the same stock availability and lack of stock replenish info issue.

Apple is selling their products at premium pricing because they take into consideration the "consumer experience" that they provide.

Btw, before anyone flame me for being an "iFag" , nope, i never use/have any Apple products, have been on Android since HTC Desire till now. The above comments is purely on neutral ground.

I am new to smartphones/touch screens and this Note 2 is really enticing me. Just some question, from a noobie point of view:

1. Can it play movies in rmvb format?
2. It is using microsim. I think my current phone is using normal sim. So what do I need to do? I am using prepaid by the way and there is about RM300 credit

i think it was note 10. anyway, that one was considered different (at least in Note10's case) as that one was a tech expo to show prototypes, etc...

but when you announce a product (like the case in berlin and a few days back for apple), like what others have said... apple is good in the sense that they already planned it all out... which country gets what release date.

samsung... still saying "wait la... when it comes, it comes"...

1. Yes - use 3rd party app
2. Change to microsim at telco or cut yourself or any phone shop. Your credit remain even u change simcard

1. Actually there is a lot of movie player in Play Store. U jz need to download the movie player that can play rmvb format. RMVB Player
Or u can refer to the discussion here.

2. There is 2 options, whether u change ur normal sim to microsim in telco or cut the sim in any phone shop.

1. if u install mobo player or other 3rd party player from play store yes it can play rmvb files
2. don worry... goto any phone shop they are happy to cut the sim for you....cause they will charge you...hahaha... or you go buy a sim cutter for rm15 and cut urself.

wow, 3 replies! thanks alot. i plan to get it before CNY as angpow, so hope pricing decrease abit by then and easier to get stock

i heard the price is more hefty than iphone 5 a little bit , i guest i can only afford galaxy note 1
