Finally... I got my N3 from Maxis Center KLCC evening today with SurfMore 75 package.

Before you sign the plan, always check with them whether they have the stock, because I noticed some of they reserve the phone for another customer.
At first they said no more stock for black N3 and I can get the phone after they restock in next day.
I was dissapointed and insisted them to check again from their end, then their supervisor found there is one unit black N3 left, seems like one of their staff reserve it for someone else.
While I already signed the plan and paid for the device, their manager told them to give the phone to me, this is unfair for the any customer who already complete the payment.

For screen protector and N3 case, I spent only RM25 at the mobile shop in Setapak for clear SP and rubber case.
This will be temporary case and I'm looking forward to get two layer case (hard and soft) from Otterbox or Casemate. smile.gif

Wow... I'm number 220 in the Owners' List spreadsheet.

Hi, Can i know where u get the SP and case? looking for temporary cases as well.. icon_rolleyes.gif

I bought from the shop name "M mobile communication" in Desa Setapak, it is same row with Kopitiam Desa, just opposite the Restoran Mang Chuan.
Price is reasonable too, SP cost RM10 (clear) and the rubber case cost RM15. brows.gif

Yes... this should be available in all Samsung Store and I saw it in Samsung Store KLCC.
I bought similar SP when I got the Galaxy Camera after launching, RM69 for two pieces.
For N3, I got clear SP for RM10 from local mobile phone shop in Setapak. brows.gif

Hi, I'm planning to buy the Note 3 from Directd today. It says 0% for 12months installment. Any other charges besides the 2 or 3% credit card charges? Thanks!. Btw, what shud I check or look for when @ the shop? I will check for the *#0*#. Thanks a lot!
*
Perhaps you can check from Harvey Norman as well, no additional charges for credit card.
Last week I was there and noticed they offer RM2200 with 0% interest on 12 months installment.

I know I shouldn't be happy after spending almost RM2k for my new Note III, but I am. Hehe. Got mine yesterday at Festival City Wangsa Maju for RM1900 after trading in my Galaxy Nexus for RM300. Original price offered by the vendor was RM2199 which to me a very excellent deal.

By the way, I didn't buy the casing because I want to buy an anti-shock casing like Otterbox or something but apparently there's none yet released by Otterbox for this model. Do you guys have any suggestion on any casing which features anti-shock too? I'm desperately looking for one. This one is too slim for me it might just slip off my hand anytime I hold it. Lol.
*
At this moment only UAG offer pre-order for their Note3 case。
Unfortunately there isn't any Note3 case from Otterbox and Casemate, cause Note3 quite new in the market.

#ops, typo error --> changed from AUG to UAG. sweat.gif

It's better for you to go to the Maxis Center in the morning, you may able to get the black Note3 easily.
Black Note3 is hotcake btw...

sigh... i went to Maxis MV and Sunway yesterday, they have white white, but not black sad.gif

any idea when will they have stock for Black?
*
I was told by the Maxis staff that black is much more popular than white.
First few days after launching, everyone goes for White.. they have a lot stock for black.
Now they have more white phone with them, black Note3 is much popular now.

Actually you can just use a safety pin that you use to take out SIMs from iphones . "Cucuk" it on topside edge of the SIM that is exposed and just slide the SIM out while it is stuck on the pin.

I'm unaware about it, I was struggled to remove the old sim and get pliers from my toolbox to take out the sim, later replaced with LTE enabled sim. Thanks for the tip...

Some tips to make the N3 even faster

Go to S-voice app, go to settings and untick open via the home key.

Go to settings -> about device -> scroll down to build number and click it 7 times to unlock development option's . Go in development option's scroll down till you see 3 options about animation scales, change them all too 0.5x or animation off.

You'll see that opening/exiting apps is faster now

Thanks for the tips, I changed successfully. rclxms.gif

In regards to the purple smeared stain on my screen, the stain was spreading wider within a day. I brought it to Samsung Service Centre in One Utama and upon checking the technician said that the LED is cracked inside. I didn't see any visible crack on the screen and I don't think it is caused by any fall. Apparently, if I leave it, the stain will spread and eventually the screen will go dead. According to the them, I must have pressed the screen hard till the LED cracked inside  rclxub.gif  Seriously!!!!

Since the screen is not under warranty, I have to fork out my own money RM680 to pay for the damage... I tried to argue it doesn't make sense for a new device to be so flimsy and as a user of Note 1, Note 2, Tab 7.7 and Note 10.1, I know the quality is not that bad. But, they can't do anything.

I had no choice but to agree to change the screen using my own money. The device can be collected after 3 hours. So, I will be going back to collect my device later.

Anyway, advice to all who prefer to use the phone naked, please spend a bit of money to buy a case such as otterbox. As for me, I am going to sew a pouch with thick sponge to protect my phone...  doh.gif

Sorry to hear that.
Like you said, please raise directly to the Consumer Rights and complaint about it.

I was not able to connect to Mobile Data Connection this morning around 8AM.
Only after restart the phone then it work again.
Not sure is it the Telco (Maxis) or the phone causing this problem.
