yea but then again maxis still yet to reveal it's secret the free galaxy gear is tempting too

To me the Gear is just a bonus thing. I would sell it off if I got it. My main concern is the price and plan for the Note 3 itself. Btw, wanna ask if anyone here knows if Maxis will accept cc installment in buying the phone with their plan?

Nobody seems to have a clear idea. Latest rumors indicate that Hong Kong may even get a 16Gb version, but Exynos.

And maybe with a LCD screen instead of AMOLED

Better deal with the Gear. Gear can sell for RM500?  smile.gif

I was thinking signing up with Maxis (maybe surfmore 75 and get the phone at around RM16xx) and get free Gear if possible then sell it off.

Judging that the winner of the free Gear contest won't be able to get the Gear tomorrow, I come to think if it will be the same for telco and also Samsung lucky draw?

I won the galaxy gear contest.. should I sell the gear? Imagine wearing the gear and its like showing off a high tech watch.. most likely it would attract much attention from other people.... what do u all think??
*
For me if I manage to get the free Gear, I will sell it off to save more budget. As of now, I still don't see how useful the Gear to function as a smartwatch. For me, I won't use it to do voice calling or capturing of still image. The most I will use it is for simple notification checking like SMS and short emails.

And if I'm not wrong, the screen will be off to save power and you have to turn it on when you need to check the time, which it defeat the core purpose of being a WATCH. But then it's just my opinion, some will really like it.

Cheapest in LYN is RM2130 but it's black. If you need a white unit, then eBay is the cheapest with 2159 as of now.

Wao, to my surprise, I see many users here who keep changing from one flagship phone to another and few buyers of Note 3 here are uni students. The most "advance" phone I owned during my uni life is SE W800. Youngsters nowadays are full with endless "luxuries"

The best phone ever, multi function phone
1. Safety - throw at dogs or thieves
2. Pass all drop test - you can even use the phone despite the front and back casing and battery is scattered away
3. Super good battery life - can last you a week with a single charge
4. Entertainment - everyone plays the same Snake game
5. Everyone is using the same charger.

LOL..ok, it's enough of my off topic. Later joytest will come after me.

That time still young, and it was my 1st own hp that bought by myself, not much of experience on how to differentiate original and ap set...

I think my 3210 cannot last a week in a single charge, mainly I think the seller replace the original battery with a china one...

But after few months, I upgraded to 8250... That time Nokia was KING...

Like what joytest mentioned, technology advancement is very fast. If the news turns out to be true, then by the time it reach here you might hear another news of new camera technology and new processor and new metal body for S5 and the waiting game will never end.

For me, I will buy what is the "best" available at the moment.

Sorry guys, but whats the major different between 32bit and 64bit in Android?

Does it mean after 64bit release, 32bit will have lesser support in term of apps?
*
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

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
*
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.

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??????
*
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

Yes porting in takes up to 1 week. Usually within 3 days.

Based on my past experience of MNP from Maxis to DiGi then MNP to Celcom, usually it takes only 1 day if you account is good and not blacklisted by any telco

I just contacted Maxis customer service and check about the promotion for Note 3 and the details are as following:

Surf More Plan
12 months contract - RM1,999
24 months contract - RM1,899

And the lady told me the free Galaxy Gear promotion is only available in KLCC, Garden, Sunway Pyramid and Danga Bay. When I asked how many Galaxy Gear available for this promotion and she said 800++. She also said we can use cc to pay the phone by installment basis.

Somehow she doesn't sound confident throughout the conversation. I don't know how true is the info given by her especially the difference of phone price between 12 months and 24 months.

Maybe someone can call and find out?

Apparently she mentioned both 50 and 75.

But my GF's friend who is working in Maxis HQ can't get any information from the PIC for this promotion as Maxis is keeping the Note 3 promotion highly PnC.

I also don't know who to trust. Let see how things show up tomorrow.
