Noob question.

Can cashback be used together with credit card discount?

I want to buy this:

http://www.lazada.com.my/microsoft-lumia-6...08958.html?mp=1

http://www.gemfive.com/my/microsoft-lumia-650-16gb-white

RM799 on Lazada with free powerbank. RM699 on GemFive without free anything.

Supposedly there's a 20% discount code right now for GemFive? Then it'd be RM559.

For Lazada I'll be using my Maybank credit card. Not sure how much discount I can get with Shopback? Bear in mind, on Lazada it comes with a free powerbank.

Hmm.. so Shopback for Microsoft Phone is 6%, correct? https://www.shopback.my/microsoft

Total Maybank card discount plus shoback = 16%.

RM671 on Lazada with free powerbank VS RM559 on GemFive.

Hahaha, I think I go with GemFive. Try and see the code can work or not first.

Seller TMTOnline on GemFive is Thundermatch, right? I'm worried they ship the Single-SIM model. I need the Dual-SIM model.

Hmm.. why Lazada and GemFive don't have contact seller feature?

Webe is a radio station? Never heard before? But why is the 640 considered better?

I've seen camera comparison pictures and the 650 camera looks better.

Any cheap 4G Android 6 phone you recommend for the same price?

Had a really bad experience with Android 4. Plus, if I switch back to Android, I'll have to give up Live Tiles and the integration with Windows 10 PC.

Not sure bro. http://lalalaxx.com/GCodePicker.aspx?ProductPrice=699

I posted a reply in the GemFive thread.

Webe is invitation only? I'm not a TM customer at the moment.

Why is band 5 needed?

Redmi Note 3 is Android 5 only?

Ahh.. the irony is the official Microsoft Malaysia store is on Lazada but Lazada doesn't have a Windows app.

Luckily I can still emulate Android on PC using Bluestacks.

I'm phobic of Android, man. Will Android 6 lag like Android 4? Will I have to root it? Does Xiaomi do asshole things like block certain settings or prevent you from moving apps?

I really love Live Tiles on W10M and the intuitive way of getting around the OS.

Haha, yeah. That's why I'm hoping the GemFive code works.

I'm really noob. Why is band 5 needed? Just for Webe?

So you recommend I go with 640XL instead of 650?

And I'm reading halfway through the Webe thing.. it seems to tether the connection and share it you have to pay extra? Huh?

"The ceo was being ridiculous by stating fast internet is not a necessary when in fact it is in modern telecommunicTion landscapes. Maybe they know their LTE isn't as fast as others by riding on 850mhz frequency band.. " http://www.soyacincau.com/2016/06/30/webes...ing/#more-87057

Huh.. another less attractive point..

But I need to be an existing TM customer. That means monthly, I'll be paying a lot, IF I get an invitation. For now, Webe doesn't suit me.

Alamak.. I need a Citibank or HSBC card for GemFive.

Currently reading comparison for 650, 640XL and 640 on Microsoft's website.

The price for 640XL is the same as 650 on Lazada.

And I really like the design of the 650. And 5.7 inch for the 640XL seems too big for me.

Bro, do you know whether the 650 sold in Malaysia is Dual-SIM? According to Microsoft's website it is Dual-SIM. So, if the phone comes with local manufacturer warranty, it is Dual-SIM, right? Or maybe I should wait until tomorrow to call them up and see? TMTOnline is Thundermatch, right? The same company that handles the Lazada Microsoft store?

Edit: The 650 doesn't have double-tap to wake.

Microsoft's website state's that the 650 has 850 MHz?

Hey bro, can the 650 be used for Digi's 4G or not?

"Our 4G LTE network is running on the 1800 Mhz (Band 3) and 2600MHz spectrum (Band 7)."

650's supported bands:

Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz), Band 1 (2100 MHz)

Edit: Oh.. ok. Upon further reading, 650's supported LTE band:

Band 8 (900MHz), Band 20 (800MHz), Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz)

I'm still reading the 650 VS 640XL comparison lol. Gosh.. If I don't find a Citibank or HSBC card I'll rugi 20% discount.

735 seems nice too. But I don't know whether this one is LTE or 3G? http://www.lazada.com.my/nokia-lumia-735-l...ey-9021633.html

You are a Windows Mobile user too? Or you switch to Android already? karlsson recommended me Redmi Note 3. Is it good? It's Android 5 only, right? I ask him whether will lag like Android 4? he no reply.

Hmm.. 640XL does have a better camera and it seems to be faster. http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/i...640_vs_Lumi.php

But it's huge...

And the 650 has twice the ROM which means the 640XL might have problems getting updated in the future.

I rarely use Android apps. Luckily, I've been able to emulate Android on Windows PC for the rare moments when I need to use an Android app, like Lazada.

Hmm.. Can't decide whether 640XL or 650..

If I can lend a Citibank card, the 650 will be RM110 cheaper on GemFive than the 640XL on Lazada (assuming I can get Shopback). I guess that justifies the lower spec compared to 640XL. Too bad 640XL is unavailable on GemFive.

I've been using Win10 on my 535 for months. Not disappointed by the menus, but there are some bugs that Microsoft hasn't fixed which disappoints me.



Wait wait, who can lend me Citibank card lol?

Keke.. I was just joking.

Thanks for all the info, man. Thanks.

I didn't know about Webe also until you shared it with me. But sorry la, Webe is too expensive for me at the moment. And 650 has Band 5 actually, so maybe in the future can use 650 to get Webe discount?
