Three phones actually. sweat.gif
1) Corporate
2) Personal
3) Mainland line

But the dual SIM Note 3 has lower specs right?

Wanted to get his Nexus 7 II LTE 32GB but in the end got Note 3. sweat.gif

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)

More on the SIM lock issue

http://www.androidcentral.com/some-unlocke...cific-countries

...Users on the XDA forums are reporting SIM lock-style restrictions on both the unlocked European LTE Note 3 (SM-N9005) and unlocked Latin American HSPA+ Note 3 (SM-N900) when used with SIMs from outside their approved regions. Using a Vodafone UK SIM in the American Note 3 produces a SIM lock screen, one poster writes. Nirave Gondhia from UK Mobile Review reports that his UK Note 3 refuses to accept SIM cards from the U.S., United Arab Emirates or Singapore. Curiously, it appears the lock doesn't apply to the Asia/Pacific version of the phone....

Exynos, no LTE.

Only root at best, no custom ROMs for ORD.

I see. I hope I can live without rooting.
I miss AdAway and removing bloatwares... cry.gif

Yes, correct. Personal - DiGi, corporate - Celcom.
I wish I'm that flexible in choosing but coming from telco, nah, they choose and you take. laugh.gif

Just that I needed a phone and Note 3 came out now, so that's it. biggrin.gif
But I must admit I'm quite tempted as well la. tongue.gif

I didn't watch as many tutorials as I did before when I bought my Note II.
I hope Note 3 is not going to be difficult for a Note II user. biggrin.gif

"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 wouldn't consider it difficult, but there are indeed lots of new things to learn, be it fun or useful stuff, and this alone really pumps me up, more than the specs and whatnot.

The word "fake" comes to mind.

A real S-view cover has some magnets somewhere in the lining I suspect. I tested using a magnet at home and it didn't elicit any S-view view......
