s7ran9er,
Thanks for your sharing those links earlier.

I was actually think you were sharing Matt Permanently method to L920. It is alright.

I was amazed by the honest review of the second link Blogger regarding his love for his Yellow L920. He clearly state that he wasn't sure exactly why he love his L920 but it could be its design - Pure, Minimalist. He continue using it everyday though he received questionable email from commenters, questioning him that Android and Apple is way superior than WP.

His persistence and review brought me to share my thought about my Perceived Value of L1020 with RRP2,499 - an outrageous priced known Smartphone.

I felt the RRP is justified, especially those with money and/or have deep thought about Industrial Design.
Lumia 1020 is not just any phone, smartphone or camera phone. It is the phone that has thoroughly been designed with deep touch of Minimalist Flat, Pure at the same time, functional and practical for daily happening. Combined with its Slim Body and compliment with Matt Texture, the final look simply breathtaking. No phone in todays could compete, even Apple 'the' Designful and Innovative Corporation that Apple continue to brag about. Their (Apple) iOS is switching to flat, while phone pretty much continue its existence layout.

Anyway, just my thought.

Great sharing...

Stock Take??

I see that as 20 Reasons why I shouldn't spend so much to buy just a Smartphone - Nokia Lumia 1020.

Yeah, can say that Lumia 1020 is really such a special phone and user just couldn't wait longer to get hold as soon as possible

stringfellow, care to share the total amount how much you purchased? Inclusive all related fees.

Yes, I really like the way the Blogger expressed in his review.

I have similar thought.
I predict it would take another 1 year to see that significant drop.

mwtang, you mentioned there will be shipment delay. How long (estimate)?

I got an important personal event coming up next weekend (4th October). Will the phone reached my hand by then?

I'm from Sarawak too.
I won't expect any other retailer beside Storekini and selected Nokia Store (none at Sarawak) to have stock until mid October, perhaps.

I have never bought at Storekini before, but I believe Storekini is reliable, especially it was endorsed by Nokia Malaysia to cater Pre-Order of Lumia 1020 for whole Malaysia.

Not yet.
I am waiting until the last day, I think.

I just received my Lumia 1020 Nilkin Frosted Case (Sample Link) from Ebay. I bought it about 1.5 weeks before Lumia 1020 Launched in Msia. I purchased early, purely because I want to use a case on the first day I used the phone.

Though, I am still in dilemma - to buy or not bcoz of the price tag.

How about you? Getting one soon?

Note: My Nilkin is Black color and comes with a complimentary screen protector.

I am merely just speculating.

Compare to others Lumia phones, Lumia 1020 is unique with its 41 MP.

Is there possibility that Lumia 1020 will depreciate slower than the others Lumia Flagship Models?

I know. I know and I know.
I grew tired of your continuous voicing of Windows Phone Limitation and others. I truly understand that you have every right to voice and inform others.

You are very correct over the limitation.
If you wish express your regret and embarrassment using WP and introduce it to others, kindly express it in a understandable way so others whoever wish to get into WP bandwagon understand the risks, pro and cons.

I have been with WP since Mozart and then now Lumia 620. Windows Phone serve me alright. I am happy with it so far. Yes, sometimes I get tired of slow updates and some of the basic features. Once in a while, I envy of some features in Android or iOS.

I understand.
It is human nature to protect their love even though facts show otherwise.

Normally, I will be very curious when someone use WP. I will question them and analyze how long they would hold on to. So far, I haven't meet real WP user personally, who use WP, rant about its limitation and yet still hold on to it. Perhaps, you are one of them. Shall you are, it is a compliment. Don't be angry ah.

I wouldn't also normally introduce WP to anyone. You have to have a strong heart and mind to understand what you want in a phone and the external pressure, or else you will be mostly pull to join the majority iOS or Android. It isn't a bad thing either.

Same price/offer with Pre-Order?

Better be.
I really hope the Pre-Order is the best deal for the next 3 months, at least.

Wow, brother.
I never expect such public announcement.

Anyway, I will try my best to snap and share as many photo as possible, especially the coming October is my busiest month of my life - I'm getting marry with my gurl, and together with Lumia 1020.

I sincerely hope I won't be disappointed. Stay tune

All,

Superbuy.my is offering Nokia Lumia 1020 with Free Grip at RM2,288.
Link: http://www.superbuy.my/shop/p-183103-nokia...amera-grip.aspx

I'm trying to confirm with them the availability now.

Can I cancel my pre-order with Storekini?
I should have waited as I promised myself.

Exactly when?

I couldn't cancel my Pre-Order with Storekini.
It is understable as it is clearly stated in their Pre-Order Terms & Conditions.

However, I made a small feedback about Superbuy offer @RM2,288 with Free Grip.

Let us do a calculation.
There is still a + Balance: RM61, shall buy from Superbuy.my and include similar RM150 Sanyo Power Bank as stated in Storekini.

Superbuy 1020: RM2,288 + RM150 Sanyo (Storekini) = RM2,438.00
Hence, we compare directly with Storekini with similar deal @RM2,499
Hence, can save RM61 if bought from Superbuy.my

Yup, I just feedback Storekini about this.
Hopefully, they could work a solution for all Pre-Order early customer.

I am deeply disappointed, even before I receive my Lumia 1020.
I sincerely hope it doesn't get worst.

Anyway, think of it. Why Nokia Malaysia want to allow Exclusivity in such case?
Wouldn't it better for others Retailer to share Product Launching? Just like Note 3.
It would make a whole lot difference and affordability, hence more people will grab Lumia 1020.

You know what guys,

Superbuy.my mentioned that the Free Grip can match the Phone colour!

Damn, I should screenshot earlier.
Superbuy.my had taken down Nokia Lumia 1020

I wonder about those who had ordered. Please keep us updated!

Oh. I did not know Ebay is offering such good price.
But I could hear and see the craze of NOTE3 everywhere such as DIGI, MAXIS, Superbuy, Ebay and ...

Yup,
Now we know the less costly-priced Lumia 1020.

The exclusivity is only 1 week, right? Ends tomorrow?

I wonder whether Superbuy.my may put that RM2,288 up again on 27/09/2013 00:00.
With similar Grip color? If both yes, I will blast Nokia Malaysia.

My inquiry to Superbuy regarding Grip color
