Off topic. The new iphone range has amazingly unbelievable great prices :
New iphone prices now released in Singapore. iPhone5C ( C by the way does not mean it is CHEAP) : S$848 , RM 2188 (16GB) and $988 , RM 2549 (32GB). The higher range iphone 5S prices are S$988 , RM 2549 (16GB), S$1,148 , RM 2961 (32GB) & S$1,288, RM 3323 (64GB). EXpect Malaysian prices to be 10% lower than these but is still darn expensive !!

OMG!  shocking.gif means that the plastic iphone having similar price as the current, while the new 5S price has been marked up higher! a$$hole.. i become more and more disappointed with Apple..

Yet you will still see buyers queue up to buy it. It is after all an Apple! I have used all the iPhone series till ip5 n yet none of them ever impresses me. All this talk of smoothness is just an illusion as Apple knows once they allow widgets n 3rd party launcher interference they will lose their edge. I was so crazy that I paid rm1000 extra premium for the very first iphone.

I don't think this is a real life situation. Probably a makeup video as part of his program. Come on, they are not so dumb to even not know the difference between a iphone and a mini tablet. These are Americans and not knowing something about iphone is just like not knowing ABC !!

Celcom LTE working fine n well on my previous Mega6.3 when I was last in KL about 2 months back. I recorded about 40000kbps download speeds. But you must change the simcard to their LTE enabled type. I change mine at Menara Celcom jln Semarak. I got the LTE activated within an hour changing the card

i think the .510 is ok lo, its brings new looks and feature.. but it introduce the bug.. i just don't understand why .526 you said did not solve it.. but i yet to try because not yet official
*
The fake hang bug is still in 526. But very minor issue to me as I always have optimised backlight selected. So no fake hang during reboot.
I have no display shade differences either with this optimised backlight selected or deselected. Such difference if any is so negligible n not of concern at all to me.

Both superbuy.com n storekini had listed official price as rm2299. RM2269 from superbuy n rm2288 from storekini. Why still have doubts on pricing n just because one reseller here quoted rm2399-2499. He is only a reseller not official distributor.

What has height got to do with phone size?? It is the size of your pocket that is important for pocketability. Also what type of pants one usually wear. It might possibly /won't be suitable for jean wearers even if you are 190cm tall

Wow u already have Note 3 is it? How u know it's completely pocketable and comfortable?

Anyway, even for 5.7", it is already big.. How pocketable is it depends on user experience la.. Different ppl different feel.

As I told, I wear skinny jeans. Why am I not the one who complaint about unpocketability of XZU? Simply because I know that my device is really 6.4" and it's big before I buy it, I read the spec, I tested demo unit, and I bought because it's acceptable for me. But some ppl is just doh.gif simply buy new smartphone to show off maybe, then cry

The Note 3 is quite similar in size than Note 2 : 151.2X79.2X8.3 mm ( 168 gm) vs 151.1X80.5X9.4 ( 183 gm) of Note 2
From specs you can see is narrower and slimmer and negligibly longer , by only 0.1 mm !!! So definitely more pocketable than Note2

This usually pakcik use to put Hp..

The bling2 sling bag might looks more young style, but maybe only relevant in Kpop land.

But no worries, note3 sure pocketable, at least for me, 100% sure

Joytest is using something similar to that. He is not pakcik n I guess about same age range as you

Official device launch is on 25th Sept. No SEP partners are allowed to sell until then.

Non SEP can always sell earlier eg Harvey Norman in this case

but i am curious, will non-SEP receive stock to sell earlier?

Traditionally most non SEP always get to sell the phones at least a week earlier. This is based on my experience buying from them past 3 years. So unless they have changed their selling pattern this time?? And these are original SME not AP sets.

Yes. Already order 2 weeks ago from superbuy. At first thought of seeing how a 5.7 inch display will feel but after using the LG OptimusG pro 5.5 inch with its full HD display I decided to buy online. Indicated delivery date is 20-30sep.
