Why are all the attractive postpaid plans for flagship models always more than RM100 sad.gif

Guys, need some opinion...

Should I sign up SurfMore 50, 12mth @ RM 1999 or SurfMore 75, 12mth @ 1699?

I won't be using it to call or online most of the time, unless during my holiday back to Malaysia, which is about 2 month once. And the stay will be around 14 days per return...

If SM 50, I will save RM 200 (2199-1999) whereby SM 75 I will save RM 500 (2199-1699).

But SM 75 I need to pay extra RM 25 each month which is RM300 in 12 months. But I will be having 5GB of data...

My DG68 unlimited plan, the most data I ever utilised was less than 1GB over the period...

Since you won't be in Msia often, perhaps you should just get it outright. Try your luck tomorrow getting the RM1888 deal... or the RM1999 one. Else RM2199 isn't too bad too.

When you're back in Msia, just subscribe to Maxis Hotlink prepaid.They have revised their monthly plan. Only RM30 for 1GB. You mentioned yourself you hardly use mobile data too smile.gif

dissapointed with the maxis plan.. oh god... why dont have Value Plus Internet plan.. im not a heavy user for calling,texting and messaging. And the talkmore78.. do i need to pay extra 78 ringgit to 3gb internet?
*
Read carefully. You HAVE to pay an extra of RM68/month for the 3GB Mobile Data. Total monthly commitment is RM146/month

Cheapest among the three plants is of course the Surfmore 75 for now. 5GB data and call/sms PAYU.

Hi, if I interested to take maxis surfmore 75 plan then how much total I need to pay in the firstime registrating? Thanks smile.gif

Looks like you're new to signing phones with plans.

There's usually a big upfront payment. So expect to pay a similar price as the RRP smile.gif

Just received my black unit from superbuy.
Immediate impression : build quality average n the back faux leather is so horrible yucky!!! I prefer the original Note2 back anytime
And the phone is noticeably n obviously warmer than my XZU.
Bootup is amazingly fast
*
Well, that sucks?

I really hate my SIII overheating all the time, just browsing the web using Wifi and it's already warm and uncomfy, even with a case on, you can still feel it.

How is the warmth compared to SIII?

it's faster ? it should have more heat =p
*
Faster does not equal higher temperatures...

It's all due to the architecture of the chipset and the manufacturing process to produce more power efficient CPUs and reduce heat. Cooling design is also another factor.

Besides, a bigger chasis will help dissipate more heat due to larger surface area for the heat to escape into the air smile.gif

QUOTE(Xirality @ Sep 25 2013, 11:53 AM)
Maybe because it's wider, distribute the weight.
*
Iphone 5: 112 grams
Note III : 168 grams

Yes. Bigger surface area reduces pressure on your hands. This gives the illusion of the iPhone 5 being "lighter"

Pressure = Force/Area laugh.gif biggrin.gif

Example:

RM0.50 cost for one generic Screen Protector.

Slap the SAMSUNG brand there can sell for RM100 laugh.gif

On a serious note, I highly doubt it will be as good/better than SGP. Probably RM30-40 grade SP hmm.gif

Care to check for black levels? Interested to know if the black levels are as good or better than the S4 smile.gif

Or how about white balance of the screen? If you have a colour calibrated monitor, best to compare with that smile.gif

Note III reminds me of the SII I used to have. The chrome lining at the side of the phone is very prone to scratches shakehead.gif

Yes sir. I'm just wondering whether Samsung had found a good solution to fix the problem or not.

Oh btw, any comments on temperature? Browsing on Wifi and 3G if possible since I'm using my phone for that most of the time biggrin.gif

WTB:

gooding sp (hybird high transparency + fingerprint resistant) like 3M
flip cover that works with s-view
gooding dock
64GB class 10 ultra  drool.gif
*
I remember there was a discussion about the Estoc 3M in the SII thread, did anyone actually compared whether SGP is better or the Estoc 3M?

Btw, you can also look for oleophobic SP...just that there were previous reports that the layer will wear off after some time. But transparency is supposed to be very good and minimum fingerprint.

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".
*
3M SP is supposed to rival SGP and some say it is better. But it's from Korea and seems like no one is actually importing them over here sad.gif

im looking a good and high quality screen protector, what brand provide good display and anti scratch? Usually I using cheap sp but I might going to use this phone for 5 years so looking for better protection that can stand that long. Manage to search Nillkin and spigen sp but i dont know whether it is very good quality or not
*
Go for Spigen aka SGP or Estoc 3M (Need to bulk import from Korea). The SGP Ultra Crystal is pretty durable, almost 1 year of using it, it only have some scratches which are quite monitor. I believe this SP can easily last 1-2 years before needing to replace them smile.gif

Oh, prepare to pay around RM100 for either of those.

I was charged RM 15 for clear SP.

Got brand or tarak brand? If tarak brand, it's highly likely those RM0.50 per piece SP. Sell it at RM15, damn high profit margin lol.

I've seen some SPs being sold on lelong.com.my in bulk which are pretty cheap. RM2-3 per piece. But for other phones lah

Does the ultra crysta sp effect the HD display on note 3? how about armor casing? i found that there are many cases out there, UAG, otterbox and also spigen
*
Ultra Crystal is the clear type. Ultra Optics is the half clear half matte type aka hybrid. And there's also the full matte.

My experience using Ultra Optics was that while it does a decent job of reducing finger prints, it's definitely not as clear as Ultra Crystal. And after a while the coating seems to have worn off and you can see the mark left behind

As for cases, I wouldn't go for something too bulky (except if it's a flip case). Something like the SGP range would be nice smile.gif

Wah, left my PC for a while after reading this thread and came back shortly and there are 150 new messages.

I got my Note 3 this morning at directd.

My first impressions are here: Galaxy Note 3 - My "Initial Impressions" Review.

Overall, coming from a Note 1, very happy with the Note 3.

Link not working?

Edit: Doesn't work on FF but only on IE hmm.gif

Anyway nice review!!! biggrin.gif
