what is the procedure to buy in singapore?
*
Procedures? No procedures, I never plan buy with telco package. I am buying without contract.

I always buy at http://www.whymobile.com or http://www.mobilesquare.com.sg, both shop located at same complex Far East Plaza - and is reliable.

icicic.... i will be heading to JB, thought might wanna get there too  rclxm9.gif

Yaya, because I work at JB as well, so go Singapore never an issue for me and ...... Singapore service center was great! At least it was for HTC and Samsung, both I went before and change dead board before and both settle for me in same day.

This is something really great! not like Samsung service center at Malaysia which took me 17 days for the board replacement.

I not sure on Sony as I never own any Sony phone long long time ago since K750i.

If SONY want to success back to top, SONY need to be keep it promising.

This time is pure SONY, no any shadow of Ericsson, I am sure it was internally big change for the company structure.

Pretty sure it won't be under RM2K.

Why still note II now? Beside bigger screen and that not so useful S-Pen. Nothing part on Note II it's better than Xperia Z now.

Will be my first Sony only phone for me too. All this while I'm holding on my SE Xperia arc, n wait for a worthy upgrade from Sony, n Xperia z seems to be the one.

Just hope the price won't be too high, like 2.5k-3k. That is too high for a 16gb device.
*
RM 2.5k to RM 3k is way too high, and i probably will skip it!

I hope it won't over RM 2.3k

fanboys are everywhere smile.gif

anyway, I recall the viewing angle has to do with PVA, which, although has deeper black and better contrast, and they claim the viewing angle is big, but color does shift when you're not looking frmo 90 degree straight, but the things on screen are still remain visible, unlike IPS and AMOLED, which maintain the color, or have way less color shift, normally unnoticeable. It's sad that Xperia Z would use that, I was hoping for a AMOLED or something..
*
I am tired of AMOLED. It was FAKE screen.

Please no more AMOLED screen on any phone. It is too fake to use, especially Samsung one.

But I do hope it was IPS screen on XPERIA Z.

I had checkout XPERIA V last week, it was ok, the view angle was not that bad, it won't affecting your view in daily usage.

I prefer non amoled screen over an amoled screen. However I hope Sony at least use an ips panel like the one the use in Xperia tablet s.

Yaya, AMOLED is a NO already. IPS much rules.

define fake screen?

I dislike AMOLED for the over-saturated color, but some phones allow u to choose the color profile to be more natural. Yes, I prefer IPS more then anything else in the market now, but AMOLED is not too bad itself either, at least compared to other TFT's
*
Example Samsung S III (my current phone) & Note II LTE(my sister using it). Both phone standard color was over saturate.

I know it got mode to switch to so call natural, but the natural color became too dull. None of it color profile is consider ok. It was all fail in producing the exact color in proper.

That the reason I was hopping no more AMOLED. IPS is much rules and better.

Also AMOLED black level is somehow over, it often crushing the details on dark area.

color saturation on a phone is self preference.
its not like im going to do graphic editing on a phone.
I always use my phone to watch videos, and amoled gives the most pleasant experience, coz of the deep black and vibrant colors.
*
That the problem. The deep black make most photo look kill. Watching video on AMOLED never pleasant as it too deep black was crushing the details on dark area.

Note II is much fragile than Note I.

If you are ganas, no Samsung phone is worth for you as Samsung phone was fragile especially recent release S III and Note II.

Get Nokia Lumia 920 instead, it was tough enough for ganas people.

this is amusing

blacker blacks and whiter whites are what everyone strives to.

and you are saying deeper blacks is no good?

hmm.gif

is like saying my phone battery lasts too long, causing me to use my charger less..  hmm.gif

I never said deeper black is not good, but if over it is not good.

Black crushing in AMOLED is common issue since day it born. AMOLED is not as perfect as you think.
