I really want one, but confusion for me now whether better to wait for LTE unit or just get 3G one.

I bought this morning and got the gift.

Did you try writing 1st den only u put the palm?

One of the lucky guys I guess. Anyone know when the LTE model will be available here? Or if someone is going there later, if you don't mind, please do me a favor and ask them about it. Thank you!

Sure or not...who is Sale person did u got it from.

I think is very rude to be so sceptical
What benefit does he get from "lying"

get sony employee to buy for you. 20% discount..
haha

I want LTE, when LTE coming lei.. hmm........

Or just buy this non-LTE version, I can't use LTE also now......... but maybe another 2 to 3 months, LTE will coming in my area since i seen it last few weeks once.

Do it like uncle benny. Buy 3G 1st..if happy with it upgrade to LTE

I'm with you bro. Waiting for LTE Model.

Hopefully don't be too long waiting.

Not easier to sell off this I believe, not everyone fancy on big screen.

I'm gonna get the normal one as well.... btw do they have root yet for this beast?

I want to get but also want the free gifts too hehehe...kiasu people like me

Then suggest u get from DOCOMO and from reputable dealers like cth247 or Kyoex . Price wise , more expensive then others but their warranty covered , even I go

Natural Disaster is covered under the warranty

Get LTE if your area or the places you go to has LTE coverage. LTE is definitely more future proof
As for me my place no LTE at all and the probably it will have is in 2 years time ( according to my local Maxis center). In 2 years there will be more LTE phone choices and probably I'd have change 4-5 phones by than

My area LTE coverage very little but I go to places a lot which have a wide LTE coverage. For example, Damansara and all that, so it would be convenient to have LTE. But as of now, seeing the guys here get their phones, my legs and hands getting itchy already. It's like I wanna straight go to Sony KLCC now and get one. But I'll have to resist the temptations. Decided to wait for LTE. Hopefully by Raya school holidays it'll be available.

Well , since u travel often to Damansara , why not The Curve ? Besides KLCC , The Curve is the only other location for Sony Center . Besides , Sony dealers are already getting their ZU starting from today for KL and Selangor area , there's no need to go to KLCC for it .

yeah my sources also told me the dealers getting their stock today. I'm also enquiring about the sbh52 bluetooth device.

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
