Im afraid the whole market will just slow down. Everybody is burdened or will feel burdened no matter what the government says and will cut spending which in turn is not really a good sign for the market and economy.

The bigger the thing the better...

-Asian.....

Yes. We can expect the "purchasing power" declining after GST, really not good for econ if citizen spending less money.

Sorry to go off-topic but I just saw news (from Malay Mail's online version) that an UMNO GST task force member, Mr. Lokman Noor Adam, got booed and heckled by University of Malaya students while explaining about the reasoning for GST, during a forum organized by the said university. They were not convinced by the justification given by Mr. Lokman on GST, and it's hard not to blame the students as their spending power will indeed be affected!

And at the same time, that UMNO guy also got grilled by the other forum panelist, one Mr. Rafizi Ramli, to loud applause!

Also, by cutting spending, I worry that the bad times of 1997 will return, when spending was at a low point due to the economic crisis, sparked by the collapse of the Thai economy!

Probably explains why the Samsung Note series is so popular here in Malaysia eh?

Personally, I feel the iPhone 6 Plus is too big as I carry the phone in my pocket at virtually all times. And the 6 is more than perfect for such carrying convenience!

any user ios 8.1.1 face battery drained issue?

How to organize photos into albums and then able to copy out using Windows Explorer in their respective folders? Possible? My android all photos organized nicely and just copy using Explorer... need to merge some photos with iPhone now. Not keen on iTunes.

MIUI has real time clock, calendar, and compass icons. Yes the compass needle rotates as you move the phone! Need to install some themes. The original Xiaomi theme is without the compass AFAIK. I think they came out with it first before iPhone...

The last time it happened, I used Silence toggle on the side of the phone. Toggled it on and off. Then ok already. Need to try it again but so far has not happened again.

Like your profile pic.

depends what sort of thing you want to do with your phone...

movies, comic/manga, games, web browsing, magazines/reading.... the bigger the screen at show you more and...well.... no need to move so close to the screen...


me coz i have daughter, and i read comics and games.... so bigger better.....

the phone always shows 5% seen- able if i wear a jeans... but its ok... no #bendgate issue

If not mistaken 8.1.1 was buggy. 8.1.2 was more stable.

I've not face any issues with 8.2 yet although there have been complaints by other forumers.

Yup. mobile phones, tablets, computers and laptops all which previously had 0% Sales Tax will now be hit by 6% GST.

Unless you jailbreak, I don't think it's possible to organize your photos without iTunes.

I ditched my Mi3 just after a month of usage. It felt like an iOS rip-off and there were quite a number of bugs in the native browser and email app. It's a great value-for-money phone, but just not my cup of tea

i using iexplorer... there are others that can copy things into or out from the phone... just like windows explorer....

Xiaomi started by ripping off Apple. Surely you know that...

I never use native browser and email app in any phone so I guess my experience is mostly the same across OSes.

Lol xiaomi mi3 is quite obviously a rip-off from IOS so naturally it will feel like a rip-off
Only thing good about mi3 is the pricing

And their quite dependable Mi Power Banks, which me and my wife are currently using!

But still, nothing beats the original iOS devices, which are the iPhones (hefty purchase price notwithstanding)!

Looks like we're going to see lower visitors to IT malls as well as Apple / Samsung Stores in the coming months, as GST starts to take effect eh?

Although eventually, things should be back to normal but after how long, that I won't know!

got my ip6 silver today at digi store. luckily still got plenty of stock (ip6) and still maintain old price. restoring all the apps now....

who still want sign digi plan act fast now. until this morning they stil hv 4 unit ip6+ 64gb grey, as for other ip6, i saw a lot in the list.

Well you really would need to be an idiot to believe the'propoganda' regarding the reasoning for GST those goons are throwing at us.

Yes, I was aware what Xiaomi was doing but I wasn't aware that it was so blatant till I tried it. Ha ha ha..
