Actually we're expecting too much on the 4.2.2. I bet when it released, everyone will be complaining that there's nothing much on the updates lol.
actually, there will be one complain that is consistent with all new firmware release -- wah, this new version drain battery like nobody's business!
it will go on for weeks and then just die off...

By that time, everyone's eyes are on Note III.

ya, now that new rumours are saying Note3 is gonna be just 5.7"...

Samsung's strategy, purposely makes the release slow for older models. So that consumers' attention can be shifted to newer models.
Purposely packs the newer models with 4.2.2.

yup, if same functions, etc is available on old phone, who will still wanna buy new phone?

So if I want to purchase apps, will that be inconvenient?
Like need to register my CC again?
i used to register, use, remove cc... then when need to use again, register, use, remove.
last week, found out we have some prepaid visa card options now in MY. very cheap to setup too. i've signed up for one and will test it out + feedback here after that. i'm sure everyone here knows what's prepaid... so i'm just gonna put a little bit of $ inside it... but when i need to buy something big with the card, just need to topup before purchase.
the card i applied is AirAsia/ Tune's Big card. rm10 for processing. there's annual fee but if you swipe more than 6 times a year, annual fee is waived. this is not a credit card, so no govt tax. i find this better than debit card since i dun need a bank account -- debit card, if limit not set properly, you can still lose a lot of $. with this case, you only lose what you have in the prepaid card.
another option i know is Maybank. they also have this now... but the card got ManU's stars... which i dun like.

SatuGadget in Menara PGRM and DirectD in SS15 are popular.
yup, both very famous for giving good phone price. just took my aunt there over the weekend. good time to get s3 too... prices have dropped a lot for s3 which is still very good -- other than only 1GB for RAM. i was kinda surprised DirectD board listed SME set as being cheaper than AP for s3.
and OT a bit... i was at DirectD and saw this sales girl was free so she asked me what i was looking for. she looked chinese, so i replied in Cantonese. then she looked at me with a blur look... the other guy at her side said she dun understand chinese/ cantonese.
i'm a banana and many times people jokingly laugh at me and ask "why i'm chinese but can't read/ write in chinese". i was so tempted to say this to that girl but dunno la... these days, hard to tell a person's ethnic background. world is now so... connected.
