ya, local sets will be whatever tech is available now. LTE can only start in 2013. even then, no idea if any network wants to start LTE on 1st jan itself... so no distri will wanna bring in LTE. not even sure if they can actually bring it in... maybe some regulations, etc...

but i wonder if AP distris can actually bring in LTE sets (maybe by accident?!?)... though i think LTE sets... ours should follow SG set (radio frequency should be the same/ similar).

*sigh*

this time around... i have to be controlled. plan to only get in dec or jan 2013... so... :S

last i saw... yes, Polaris Office is free on Samsung Apps. but i recall some mentioned Polaris Office still dun work on Jelly Bean.

anyway, i think most of us bought the Office apps during the 25cents sales about 1-2 weeks back...

wow... AP prices going down faster than i have expected... can see now AP sets are going for rm2028...

i was expecting below rm2k only around year end...

this is... sooo..... tempting... must.... resist...

that sounded... errr...

just sharing some "weird" news...

someone actually paid usd1000 for a korean version of note 2 (32GB with TV antenna). see:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Not...=p2047675.l2557

accessories... these look nice.

but SP that require liquid... yikes, i get worried...


Skinomi: http://www.skinomi.com/sagano2.html

wonder anyone used skinomi before... how is it?

i think this SP looks nice especially those who wanna have an almost naked phone... it's just one layer of 'plastic' on the screen and also the cover... at least that's the impression i get. but got so many different patterns...

but with rounded corners... i wonder if its going to be easy to apply...

update1:
from their website...

having seen how 'naked' s3 that my wife started getting scratches... i'm included to get my cases and SP ready before i even get the phone.

the back on s3 and note 2 will definitely be easy to scratch. the screen... on my wife's s3... also had small scratches... she keeps the phone in her small bag (meant for phones). maybe the bag for tiny dust & sand particles....?!? but still... very sakit hati when i saw the scratches while putting on the case and sp (it came about 2 weeks later). by then, no mood to really put them on since already can see scratches...

should be able to get AP sets at about rm1900 or below.

SME sets... i think should still hover at about rm2k.

i thought Samsung Malaysia said they have something of note next week... that post was on FB last week... so this week, should have something on G Note... but ya... it's all too quiet. or Samsung really following Apple and locking down all news/ rumours...!?

Added on October 9, 2012, 10:20 amquality wise... AP is the same as SME.

just need to ask... do you feel lucky?!? if YES, chances are, you dun need to send anything for service in 12 months anyway... but with AP sets, it'll be cheaper (meaning you can spend more on accessories)...

i'm kinda certain i'll end up with AP set this time... probably about 1 month before that, i'll look up on how the AP warranty claims work for 1Gadget and DirectD (Brandstar)... need to assure myself a bit, that's all...

another possibility... telcos have no budget for Note II promo/ ads. everything's been diverted to iphone5. it is a possibility as having two major events by a telco on the same month can be 'silly'. so, between note 2 and iphone 5... no prizes for guessing which one gets sidelined.

yes, gorilla glass gets pwned by sand... this is well known 'fact'.

this has been mentioned many times... check a few pages back...

short answer/: yes, can OTA.

lolz... yes, recall u mentioning it... heh heh...

so means 11th is actually soft launch?!? and then we'll probably have to wait 1-2 weeks for the "go ahead" by SME to let the vendors start selling?!? my gawd...

speaking of AP sets... i was doing a search on the warranty by this AP company... and the results aren't that good. see:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=128&t=2276911

i know... could be just 1 person out of the million others who are satisfied customer...

but what irked me is that the receipt was allegedly changed...

just wondering... is there a second counter like what was discovered in s2? or this second or third counter has yet to be discovered?!?

he still have his note 2, right?
