anyone got the phone already? nice or not? the grip on the back leather casing provides nice grip or not?

Right. The half hour I was at Batu Pahat Maxis Center, I was the only guy there renewing my postpaid plan and got the Note3. Plenty of stocks. Apparently I was the first person to get it

Camera launching n snapping pics is very fast. Must say is the fastest of all Samsung i have used , all the S n Note series

Restoring my apps data from helium backup on my XZU to this Note3 was a breeze.

sorry guys off topic abit.. but still related to Note 3.. XD please help me out as im confused now
currently on celcom contract on postpaid which expired next month (20/10/13)
am planning to switch to Maxis surfmore (the note 3 bundle) or any other MAxis postpaid plan but wanna retain same number.. can anyone guide me the correct ways??

of cos i got search around and this is what i found out
"You will need to clear off all the outstanding payment and the latest bill before you quit celcom, else you will not able to register. As mentioned, you should not be blacklisted from any telecommunication provider.
You will have to visit celcom and tell them you are swtiching to Maxis. You will require to sign a letter at celcom to approve that you'll be switching to Maxis.
Once you've sign, you will have to wait few working days for celcom to release you."

the reason why im confuse is because my dad was on celcom postpaid without any contract, but he does not need to sign any letter. just walk in MAxis outlet to change telco.

thankiu very much.. sorry for the long post.. very much appreciate
*
My experience switching from Celcom to Maxis about 3 years back : NO need to go to Celcom and no need to even settle any outstanding bills. Celcom will still bill you till the last date you stop service. About 6 months later I got a cheque from Celcom for initial deposit made to open account
Just go to Maxis and tell them you wish to terminate Celcom and sign up thier package using the Celcom number. I remember than it took about 2 days for the number to be activated on Maxis side

You can get a good 64Gb from LYP.

Where can you get a 3M SP ?

May I suggest that the correct term "good" or "excellent" be used in place of "gooding".
*
Right ! Still don't understand why the word gooding is used. For those who like to use this word - this is exactly what it means :

Merriam Webster dictionary : an asking of alms and wishing good to the donors in rural areas of England

In Rural Dictionary :A corrupt and scary place where noone thinks for themselves and eventually become trapped.
Example - My friends went to gooding and never came home

chill la all phones heat up under activity, if it heats up while u doing nothing then something is wrong

The Note 3 is obviously very much warmer than Note 2 ; granted that it has a higher n more powerful processor. BUT than the XZU is so much cooler than it , average by 3-5 degree C in the same tasks and the XZU is also using similar S800 processor !! It is very obvious. You can hardly feel any warmness/or very slight warmness using the XZU even in an hour but within minutes you can feel the warmness very obviously on the Note3
This Note 3 loses out to the XZU

It is basically a WRONG n WRONG use of the English word. The word gooding does not in any way means something good - see my definition above. As Professor Higgins said in My Fair Lady - it is akin to " by right she should be taken out to hung for the cold blooded murder of the English tongue"

hmm.gif  well, if you put it that way then it seems it is warmer than normal, could be due to its thinness or due to its new back cover material, are you using a casing?  hmm.gif  as long as it doesn't start burning my fingers then i'm cool with it  nod.gif

It definitely won't burn your palm. You try to use HTC One X, One X+, S2 - these are comparatively much warmer/hotter phones

You must pay upfront the phone price n any advance payment if needed

Home+power button or slide palm karate style across display.
My first overnight battery usage over 7 hours. 3G is always on , wifi, bluetooth, nfc off. Active maildroid n fb notifications. I would say is quite good n drop is i estimate less than 3%.
