but the problem is you can't have someone else to collect it for you.

Even though I can easily afford it, I NEVER pay more than RM500 ( usually around RM300-400) for a phone for my 3 kids. They start to use it in Form 5 till their graduation from university. I don't believe in pampering my children with such unnecessary luxuries. Why would they need a smartphone for. They can always communicate ( social media) using their laptop but I will not hesitate to pay RM5K just for a MacBook Air for them as this is a more useful tool than a handphone. My children are very and extremely well trained by my wife and they NEVER ask me for stuffs. They are frugal in their spending. Infact I have top persuade them to buy new clothes/shoes every new year. But they will not hesitate to spend money on books. Every shopping trip is 99% spend on books. The only smartphone ( the S3 ) I bought was a gift to my youngest son when he graduated with first class honours from LSE ( London)
Now all of them are working ( and comparatively is now way better than me in my days), they have their own means to buy what they like. My youngest son is still using his S3 and he say he will use it till it breakdown as he doesn't fancy such stuffs

Dunno why they do lidat..they wan ppl come 2 times..mayb not to let u easily sell the gear gua.

To put into a simple term, 64bit processor means that it can handle more memory, like having more RAM into your devices and handle larger storage more efficiently. In terms of app support, it will take times for developer to optimize their app to be benefited by the 64bit processor. As of now, not many apps are optimized for multi core processor, so I believe it will take few years for optimizing 64bit.

If you need more detail info, you can either google or ask joytest, he will be better in this area

Nice, we should pamper our kids, but not spoil them...

Keep this as reference for my kid too...

Just received one very good offer for the GEAR, anyone else selling please PM me.

Tq.

no special promotion, no free gift in midvalley. Only roadshow. Probably im not going already

64 bit will mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the timeframe of at least the next year. See JBQ's post linked in post 5. JBQ was one of the major people behind Android. And Samsung is making v1.0 of ARM's 64bit for consumers, so I think it will take a bit of time to get it right. It also needs support from Android itself to work properly. Read Anandtech's writeup on the ipong 5s review, he provided a very detailed discussion. However he also said it's going to take about 2 years before it matures.

Technically speaking, the most visible benefit is allowing the CPU to address more RAM. The rest are actually a lot more obscure and has to do with register sizes and executing more instructions per second, leading to improved execution speeds.

So 64 bits is nothing to clamor for right now, but it will arrive inevitably, so just wait for Note 4 or Note 5 with proper 64bit Android.

As to the curved display, I don't know, I don't think the design shown in the pic is practical. Up to you if you want to pay a lot more for the limited edition.

Exactly. I was being trained by my family in the similar way of yours during my younger age. I believe kids should not be pampered with all this luxuries until they are able to afford one by their own means.

S3 not bad ma

So so true. I look at the youngster nowadays really *shakehead* especially those who are still studying in Uni fancy all the latest tech which 99& either using ptptn or parents money. Go club etc etc.

I remember once when I told my parents to buy me a nokia 8250 back in the olden days. My parents will say , earn it yourself to get it. LOL

BTW, there's still no root out for Note 3 on XDA.

SELinux status is Enforcing....

Great attitude! This is the suppose way.

Anyone got any good news regarding getting your unit today ???

anyone else buying from alieamin...


seems like now the mad rush is not there anymore..

Yup, not sure when will root be available for N3. During the N2 days, is root available before launch?

Yes I think they had CFRoot very shortly after the announcement.

This whole SELinux thing is supposed to be good for everyone in general, but certainly bad for modders and hackers. As I said before, they put in a padlock, sold you the device, but kept the key themselves. So now you have to figure out how to unlock and relock it without letting Samsung know so as not to void your warranty.


Well I mean in part it is society's problem........WHY THE HECK DO PEOPLE LOSE THEIR PHONES SO EASILY??????

Maybe useful if they plan give you 6GB Internal RAM for coming S5 ... kidding.. .I know it won't happen, not now.

Hopefully the developer will find a way to root it. I don't mind to wait for TA to be available in later date, but without root means having a super computer but you are limited to basic function of it.

I hope Samsung won't go HTC way which really discourage lots of developer and user
