when will the price drop??!! arghhh can't wait to buy one.

1. You get locked into a 24 months contract where you pay RM88 per month to them for their postpaid plan
2. You pay RM1688 (phone) + RM700 advance payment (also for the phone, but they don't state that) when you signup for a total of RM2388 up front
3. The RM700 will slowly be credited into your celcom billing account. Meaning that RM70 is deducted from your celcom bill per month for 10 months (RM88-70 x 10 months) and then it's back to full RM88 per month.

That's how I understand it. Correct me if I'm wrong though 

now some store selling 2.1k

i think it quite reasonable liao

is there any differences between manual focus, and tapping on the screen to focus when take pic?

Oh ok. So IMO its better to buy the phone at RRP price.

Now its about RM2200.

If only there is more focus light dslr then it would have been perfect.
Manual focusing to give bokeh effect, or sharpen the parts you want to focus.

What do you mean by "focus light dslr" ?

Manual focusing is to give a more precise focus to your subject. But for a 1/1.5" sensor, IMHO, you should be concerned with subjects you're shooting at close distances, for eg: macro mode.

Automatic focusing should world well with most subjects at longer distances since Depth of Field would be quite large due to the 1/1.5" sensor.

p/s: Bokeh is not Depth of Field (DOF) !!

question..

is there any differences between manual focus, and tapping on the screen to focus when take pic?

Managed to brick my phone by just changing the phone language and downloading the language files.

Good job Windows

Wow.. Put it in the recover mode and flash amber then
Seriously though? Glad it never happened to me.

Update:  It looks OK now.

It restarted a couple of times after I changed the language/region and then I got into the "gears of death" screen.
I tried the 3-button resets and stuff for a 100 times and gave up.

Now it suddenly shows a screen that says it's downloading data for the language.

Almost had a heart attack reading comments on the net about bricking their phone just by hard resetting and having to send the phone back to Nokia.

in certain challenging light conditions, where 1020 unable to lock focus correctly even after tap focus or/and after assist light is on, you can use manual focus. For example in dark landscape shot, you might want to manually set infinity focus for best sharpness or for tricky closeup shot (animal in cage for example), you can use manual focus to get the animal accurately sharp when tapping to focus fails.

for normal conditions, tap to focus is faster and should be use over manual focus. Same apply for video.
