Hi

I'm interested to upgrade my old phone (Nokia E72) to this Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

What is the latest price ?

Where should I buy ? Lowyat or Online or other cheaper & trusted ? (I don't want bundles with telco package)

How long is the warranty ?

What else should I know before buying this device ?

Btw, I need buy original one & I won't doing those jailbroken stuff on it sweat.gif

Thanks.

Hi

Can someone with Titanium Grey tell me this ?

Is the Titanium Grey finishes Glossy ?

I see Youtube compare, it is definitely Gloss & finger-print magnetic.

I see Samsung Website photos... It is like Matte Finishes & won't finger print magnet.

Can someone tell ?

Thanks.

Hi All

Just received a news that purchases at 21 shopping malls (eg. Mid Valley, Curve, Paradigm, etc.) using Maybank Amex Credit Card can CashBack 15%.

If I buy this Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SME) in RM2,299, 15% would be RM344.85.
But maximum for a principal account can CashBack is RM300.

So, RM2,299 - RM300 would be RM1,999

In the terms, it said any shop (excluding supermarket & hotel) inside the shopping mall is eligible.

I'm in doubt what shop inside the shopping mall sell this Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SME) unit, excluding Telcos.

Any comments ? I hope can buy this Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SME) cheaper & got CashBack RM300 too.

Thanks. thumbup.gif


Btw, make sure you register at here 1st to be eligible the CashBack

Hey Guys,

Normally Samsung Smartphone types before this, when are they going to reduce the price or price drop from the released price of RM2,299 ?
3-months ? 6-months ? 1-Year ?

Since now already 2-months they launch, dunno when they will do the 1st drop price for SME unit ?

Thanks.

Just wondering, why directd can sell SME set at RM 2168 & shopping complex sell at RM2,299 ?

I thought both also said SME set.

May I know what is the main differences between the 2 seller ?

RM 2299 is official retail price
DirectD always sells at a lower price and they make profit on volume. They are one of the most established sellers and their business is very good - big crowd always like free especially on weekends

Thanks.

Is there any other seller can recommend to me ?
I need buy the SME set.

So far, I only know reputable one as follows :-
- directd
- ExpressFon

Any other reputable ?

Or refer Samsung FB page

Thanks.

I only see directd and ExpressFon selling around RM 150 lower than RRP (RM2,299).

Will all the SEP (Samsung Elite Partners) listed in the Samsung FB page selling RRP (RM2,299) also ? sweat.gif

Nowadays, do buying a smartphone got free memory card one ? If yes, normally what capacity can get ?
If small rather buy the biggest 64GB myself... rclxub.gif

Yea, non-MOC can get note II at rm999 with advance payment rm1,000. If you are MOC member, you are waived for the advance payment.


Added on December 20, 2012, 2:52 amHello guys, I am new here. Nice to meet you all. I has use my Galaxy Note II since 1/11/2012. So far so good. ^^

Perhaps to learn more over here about customization or to get some useful tips. Cheers!

Hi, I don't mind pay advance payment of RM1000.
I called Maxis to ask about it but they just simply say if I am not member, then I cannot take the promo...

Can someone guide me how to get the promo if non member by paying advance payment?
Thanks.

I got mine at rm999 as I am MOC member
I was told you must at least be a Maxis subscriber already n you can opt for rm999+rm1000 advance payment but commit to 24 months plan about rm140 (3gb data n rm70 call/ sms) per month compulsory payment. So worth only if you do spend so much a month. The rm1000 will be rebate back to u over 5 months

Uncle Benny, I already a maxis subscriber few year already.
Just verified I am not member cause I normally use rm125 per month.
I did call maxis but problem they said no member cannot.
I willing to pay the advance payment of rm1000, why they don't process it?
Anyway to ask them to give me this promo?
Thank you uncle Benny....

My friend only less than a year postpaid subscriber manage to get it at RM999+RM1000 advance payment. He got it in the first week Note 2 launch by Maxis . That was at Batu Pahat Maxis Center. He find package worth as his monthly bill averages RM300+ a month (with  a signed up RM75 3.5 gb data plan )
I think you need to speak to the Maxis Center again or try another center

I called Maxis again 2nd and 3rd time. The last time finally officer tell me wait he ask supervisor and tell me... Yes, u can subscribe the promo even I not yet MOC now...
Ok, first problem settled.
2nd problem. I allowed to subscribe package, but currently Maxis not stocks! mad.gif

Any idea approximate normally when they restock the Galaxy Note 2?

QUOTE(one81 @ Dec 20 2012, 12:03 PM)
did u try to check if u eligible or not in Maxis One Club site?

Checked. I am not eligible.... Yet... After taking this package, will be... tongue.gif

I'm a MOC member.

Pay me RM4,750 and I'll get the phone for you tongue.gif

sure boh, can swipe credit card ah?
I can save another RM300 for the device, so is (999 - 300 = RM699) for this galaxy note 2, I use may bank Amex card got promo now can get 15% cash back lo...
So in summary, 1 unit of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SME) for me is RM699! rclxms.gif

QUOTE(Cynox @ Dec 20 2012, 12:36 PM)
Not considering the Surfmore 75 5gb 2 years contract RM1, 199?

Don't think so. I already surveyed and calculate many times, still the Maxis MOC RM999 suit and save more.
Also can take Umobile U88 but their coverage change to edge very slow while I am typing here using their prepaid.

Smart man, worth trying ... although I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt Maxis accepts AMEX cards. I know for a fact that I can't use my AMEX cards to pay my phone bill.

Also, the promotion is only up to 31 December so you better start visiting Maxis centers now.

Now u say, and I call immediately...
Confirmed. Can swipe Amex at Maxis to get the promo.. rclxms.gif

Yah, heard many no stocks, didn't go in one by one shop ask yet...
Hope can get before 31 dec 2012.....
Let say can I pay them first before 31 dec 2012, got stock then give me device...
Don't tell me they need more than few months to restock sweat.gif

That's good to hear.

My advice is to dedicate one day to just drive around and visit all Maxis centres in your area (Klang Valley I presume).

Personally, I don't trust Malaysian retailers enough to do the advance payment thing. I don't think it's worth RM300 to have to go through the potential amount of hassle you're getting yourself into.

True also sweat.gif

Just called again Maxis, also advised to walk-in to ask one by one cause they said if got also very limited stocks

I double check the websites,
the expiry date of 31 December 2012 applies to those MOC Member can waive the advance payment only.
They didn't mention anywhere the promotions of RM999 expire when.
Any idea ?
