Confirmation is good enough bro.

OMG! I need to find a sammy store! Huargh! Why la the Ultra no dummy set yet

YOU ARE AN ANGEL!

Thanks for the headsup man. I'm gonna go tomorrow and try it out in my hands!! Yay! No need for sammy shop!

PS: replying on a stupid phone sure is a pain. LYN don't have support for tapatalk does it?

So what was the big deal on the palm rejection tech thingy? Doesn't his video disprove that? The new tech doesn't work then?

Erm, I'm aware of how the tech works

Allow me to rephrase what I said to avoid any more confusion (apologies for that btw):

What's the big deal with the palm rejection technology if it doesn't work? The video clearly shows that it cannot accept stylus input whilst another is alreay present.

Or is there a certain way to hold the phone in order to make it work?

Or did they not include it in the ZU? I never really took much notice of this particular tech as more oft than not I'll be using the kb for input. Now that you've brought it up though, makes for an interesting discussion...and broadens our collective knowledge

You could sketch on a phone? Damn. Respect. After the palm pilot era, I don't think I've ever bothered with a stylus-based device. Having to "learn" the alphabet back then was quite a chore. Having tried to hover my whole hand without resting it on anything does make taking notes quite a chore, especially if the phone is held in one hand, whilst trying to write with the other.

So I guess the ZU is out of your list then? It's a shame that the "anything can be your stylus" marketing is just a gimmick though.

Does the white band make it look fatter or is it indeed fatter?

I see. Thanks for the info. I didn't know the Note's ability with the stylus was that...good. I have to revise my distaste for them

I asked. Guy wasn't sure. He said (with a lot of hesitance and sounding very shifty) "sometime next month". So take it with a grain a whole bowl of salt.

On a relevant note, he also mentioned the SBH52 to be released at the same time as the LTE version.

If LTE comes to your place and you bought the 3G version, then damn sien later. Haha. Or you could do like Uncle Benny I suppose. Just that like you said, not sure how the response of the general public would be towards this phone.

Ok. I went to KLCC earlier today and fooled around with the phone for a bit. God almighty the phone is HUGE!

I've got relatively big hands and one handed operation was definitely a bit of challenge...but doable. Holding the phone in a natural grip, reaching the app drawer icon was almost impossible. I had to shift my grip to something bordering on unstable to be able to reach it. After opening the drawer though, reaching any of the apps on the screen was doable.

The phone may be huge, but imho, the weight distribution was very well managed. It felt very very light, but at the same time, sturdy. It definitely doesn't feel like a sammy (Not disrespecting you guys, just that sammys tend to feel plasticky and thus, fragile). I could hold the phone in one hand and navigate the screen well enough - unless, I had to open the app drawer. Dialing was also do-able with just one hand.

I tried to move the kb to the side (like the one shown in the vids) but didn't know how to do it. Asking the boy there didn't help either - even he didn't know how to do it. So not sure how viable it is for one-handed, text-based usage.

So to those with big hands, rejoice! One handed operation is almost possible

I compared the phone to my pocket size too. Pocketable...but definite bulk. If you're wearing leather trousers...let's just say it'll turn heads. ifyouknowwhatimean.jpg

EDIT: just saw angelgemini's post about the staff discount. Interesting. Gonna check with someone if I can do that Thanks man! Does this apply to accessories as well? Wanan get the SBH52 too if possible
