1 GB /month is sufficient based just on browsing, emails, facebook, tweeters etc
I sign up 3.5 GB/month with Maxis and usually i use up to 3gb monthly
You pay so much for a powerful phone but than want to use a shitty low download service ???

What you say is true for Digi and U Mobile
I'd say Maxis and Celcom you will not faced so serious issues
I have used all these telcos and i travel widely in the country and overseas too. I must say Maxis and Celcom rarely disappoint me

Signing up a data plan is definitely cheaper . Example a 1 GB plan U Mobile is RM 28, Digi RM 38 while Maxis is RM 48 ( these prices maybe not be exact but around this range). If you use 1 GB monthly, pay as you use will cost you RM 100
So see how much is your data needs and decide whether you want to sign up a data plan
The Note 2 has build in feature where you can monitor your data usage and set limit or you can use any 3rd party apps such as data counter widget, 3g watchdog etc to monitor data usage

I think this so called simply bill is a matter of past . It was mainly complains on Maxis. But now Maxis is very efficient - once you hit 80% of your limit, you will get a SMS warning. Ignored it and you exceed you will be charge at 10 sen per 10kb

You are not quite right in saying this
It is cheaper in the long run to buy from telco PROVIDED you need to use that much of data monthly. As you still need to pay for the data plan from any other telco if you purchased the phone separately
It is ONLY EXPENSIVE if you do not need to use that minimum data( say 1GB monthly) as you are committed to pay the fixed RM 38 or RM 48 monthly even if you just use, say only 100 MB data only

Yes , you can use any telco prepaid card with it
but be warned prepaid data charges are very expensive vs postpaid . You can easily check hotlink prepaid data rates - it will shock you !! If you need to use data often , sign up for the cheapest data plan from Maxis or any other telco.

Based on past records, I can tell you Maxis and Celcom will NEVER be cheaper than Digi
Perhaps U MObile can possibly be cheaper than Digi ( at least their data plan alone is cheaper already)

RIGHT. Do not simply buy from any telco just based on phone pricing
You need to assess :
- your monthly data usage
- the coverage in areas you will likely go to often. Especially if you sign up 2 years, ask yourself what is possibly your data needs and places you would likely to be in 2 years time. As long as you are going to stay put in the usual places for next 2 years it is easy decision. But if you are graduating and starting on a new job or even possibly considering shifting to another place - all these will affect your choice of telcos. This is crucial if you are COST CONSCIOUS but actually un important if cost is not an issue - than just sign up Maxis or Celcom as your data coverage is pretty well covered throughout the country. Example Students in KL or JB especially would love U Mobile as it is cheapest and has very good coverage in KL/JB and its download speeds is way better than Maxis and Celcom. But if they are graduating soon and possibly moving out from KL/JB with a job, they need to consider whether signing up 2 years with U Mobile is a good choice or not

I fully agree with you on these points. That is why I NEVER buy phones from telco with plans. I see no point saving the RM 200-500 for this flexibility

Wise words and advise from the accountant himself !

Some one quoted RM 1995 yesterday. Never check the prices since got the phone but it seems to change every day. Even at RM 2099 i'd say is a very good buy considering SME is retailing RM 2299

Based on Digi past practices NO but you can buy from all Celcom and even some Maxis outlets without contract
But still too early to know
You try call your nearest Digi center and ask them

based on their website you get RM5 rebate monthly for auto billing

You are limited to only 100mb per day for rm2
Good only browsing, email , feeds not for video download or rom downloads
Guardia thanks for hotlink update. Last I used never have such data plans yet

U mobile a big NO in melaka

No effect on hardware
Just google benefits of rooting in android many sites explaining this
Basically make your phone more capable in its usage, performance improvement, battery saving, etc

Basically i dont see any significant difference with stock rom
the stock rom is already very good - it is tough to improve it unlike previous Samsung ICS stock roms on the Note
I install it mainly because it is deodexed and i need deodex rom to change the homescreen grid from 4x4 to 5x6

No need even to undervolt/underclock - by default the battery life is amazing - it is easily 2-3 times that of Note, S3 and 4 times that of S2

Not all bloatware - didn't really notice what was removed as i still need to uninstall several of them using Titanium
The 5X6 mod you need to flash a separate mod - you can flash it immediately after flashing Wannamlite
