QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 27 2013, 12:28 AM) No la. Promo price, no freebies but he has casing and SP already.  My Liquid Armor is at hometown and won't be going back until next week... So, I bought the SP from him RM 15. Call me kiasu.  But his workmanship is damn good.  In the end, paying less than RM 800 for Note 3, I'm a happy girl.  *I have Stan Chart cash reward and company's subsidy which gives me RM 1405... That's why I paid less than RM 800.  company sub until 1405 ? wow....  what stan chart chard u take until can collect reward until 605 ? my citibank cash rewards auto clear me every months when i hit over rm50...

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 27 2013, 12:34 AM) I really needed an extra device because my schedule to China assignment is out. I will be there for two months from Nov onwards, so I will need one to move around in China. Then thought of taking Nexus 7 but company's subsidy doesn't cover tabs, only phones... I bought Note 3, sekali punya sakit.  No regret so far, though I do feel it is a bit redundant to have two Notes. I could feel that my Note II will be underutilized. #confession #guilty oh. HR need to travel to china also ? once u take note3, u wont use note 2 already...unless ur note3 cant function sell it now then consider ur note3 become free already by the way, china telco channel is it compatible with note3? any china sim card supported ?...i nvr been there ...

QUOTE(hooh888 @ Sep 27 2013, 12:48 AM) fruitie jie also lost to temptation in the end? looks like note 3 is too much for most of us here to resist. anyways i can finally head to bed as there's a blackout here and it's finally over. hopefully can kill my migraine with a shuteye. will write my own review on note 3 when i'm free(most probably on saturday). but right now to make it short, i have no issues like dead pixel or overheating so far, but like uncle benny888 mentioned, the faux leather back is sticky, and attracts dust(hopefully this isn't happening to anyone else). most of all, my battery life is draining like crazy. 3g was on, nothing else was, but i only tried watching 5 minutes of 1080p quality anime and 5 percent gone. so this leads to a noob question, is it because i've not fully charged it before use? (on this regard, can't blame me, dad was too excited so he put on screen protector that he bought, turned on the phone immediately after putting battery in and use while charging) i remember this afternoon when i dl mp3 with data plan and play it ...the unit become warmer a bit, battery drop around 4% also... not too sure on that... the warmer is acceptable level compare to last time htc one x... one x really classic... i think almost can boil the egg if put it in between 2 unit of 1x..

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Sep 27 2013, 12:53 AM) "The faux leather back is sticky, and attracts dust" only happen to Black color, the white color is not sticky and not attracts to dust. Black is smooth and easier get finger prints and dust, where the white color one is not smooth, much harder and not finger prints lover. I had test both myself the demo set, as well the retail unit. I get white where my friend one is black. i was planning to get white actually but worry about the dust... but when i go any buy i hv no choice as only black available. most properly i will change white next time if the white leather skin really easy maintain....

QUOTE(Cynox @ Sep 27 2013, 02:25 PM) most likely lifetime. Good for you. I am not so concern about the size, if they just give me 20GB or 25GB for lifetime like HTC above, i will be happy.  But 2 years is a bit too short. I am using about 10GB on my first Dropbox account and my second Dropbox account is almost empty.  then u just find any ppl with htc phone and activated ur dropbox inside the apps...u will hv another 25 gb free.... after confirm that just delete the apps.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 27 2013, 11:47 PM) DiGi's LTE is only for broadband now. Mobile data hasn't enabled yet. Sister was asking, why went and bought Note 3 when you already have Note II? What are the differences...?  I'm pretty new to Note 3 so can't really answer her yet.  just tell her you got extra $ to burn
