Absolutely nothing against HTC per se, just that the locked bootloader, nonremovable battery and no sd card slot is a complete dealbreaker for me.

per se ???
locked bootloader and non removable battery is okay, but no sdcard

Better Butterfly than One if you ask me.
More goodies that I need and use.

black butterfly :ifyouknowwhatimean:

and smaller screen size!! <that right there is the absolute dealbreaker for me.. and with reports from users stating on some apps the 3 dot button cannot be removed or yet to find a way to remove it other than installing custom roms the screen is effectively 4.5" What a waste on a 1080p screen

Yes m'lord. After experiencing the pleasure of 5.5", 4.7" just doesn't cut it. And the 3 dots reduce it to 4.5". Heck even 5" doesn't cut it anymore for me.

is okay, but got 3 dots button, I forget about it already

when is this phone expected to hit the shores of malaysia?

EDITED : Soyacincau said Digi preorder start this sat (20th April). So we will be expected to see the launch real near. Early May maybe?

Sorry went to sleep adi last night ;X
As some of them explain adi the difference between soft and official launch ;P
I'll try grab some news for you all after tha soft launch

That's to register your interest (ROI) only and it stated pre-order start on this 20th April

wooops.. my bad then, because i didnt open the link

yesterday only get One but now S4 already coming soon ...

grab another one as your 2nd phone! both got their pro and cons..2 together will be perfect

S4? haizzz how many of u interested? i know the exact date

waiting for pricing now hope there is no split price (exynos and snapdragon)

of course. but i have to rob bank 1st. haha

eh ... , got insider news ??

bro alieamin, malaysian wireless said there will be split price

come quick tell us when

if singapork 27th april,then i can say we later than that. We are within week 18.

week 16 note 8 and note 2 Red.

week 18 note 2 Brown and s4.

to compete with HTC One right from Day 1. Not like last time S3 vs One X, one x was launched way earlier(so some of the would-be customers for S3 is no longer there).. hahaha. This time Samsung really wanna "kill off" competitors..

if week 18, that means around 5th ~ 11th May, am i right ??
