for those who are interested in gear 360 and vr and know there's a discount they sure won't pre order
since buy both of them having 50% discount, around RM 750
during pre order only give extra 1 year warranty + 1 time screen replacement, which cost around RM 348
and why need to queue ? since confirmed got 50% discount for both gear vr and 360, unless you want to queue for free battery pack + starter kit then different story

tied with contract still okay, if having lousy coverage also no point
meanwhile the best coverage is Maxis, but their plan are the most expensive
*
I think most of us just not happy that we were not offered the same discount, doesn't mean we will actually buy these 2 gadgets. biggrin.gif

Btw, Maxis is definitely going downhill these days, particularly in JB, the coverage is really bad. The data coverage was good at my workplace in industrial area few years old but since 2 years ago, always no data coverage, sometime even no line for phone call in meeting room. bangwall.gif Eventually me and most of my colleagues all change to U Mobile. Even my bosses is not happy and making the switch for our company's line. But but but.... they change to DiGi, shocking.gif which is yet another telco with lousy coverage in JB area. doh.gif

Hei guys, did pre order but using other people's name and IC, simply bring photocopy of their IC can come n claim the phone or not???
*
I asked the collection point at JB, yes, can claim with photocopy IC coz I will be collect another S8+ pre-ordered under my wife's name. But you better call your collection point and double check.

Remember to bring the printed Pre-order confirmation and payment receipt too.

USD149.99 >> RM459, just slightly more than the wireless charger RM339 (the price they put on our FOC last gen charger). Can just buy to use as wireless charger. laugh.gif Even Spore is selling the latest leather wireless charger @ SGD118 (about RM365).

Looks like they want to help us transfer the data from old phone on the spot. rclxub.gif

When I went to the store which I will be collecting my S8+, the lady told me the collecting process may take some time as they need time to transfer the data from the old phone, etc. I was like shocking.gif , these things should be taken care by ourselves what. So I just told her I will handle those myself, just give me the phone, let me sign the CC slip and let me go, I dun have much time for lunch. On the other hand, confirm they will open the packing and "do something". If they really do the transferring of data for all customers during the collection, I can't image how long the queue will be. doh.gif

Btw, she also offered to paste the screen protectors for us but only after the pre-order and roadshow period coz they will be busy.

anybody wna sell their bundled s8+ orchid grey case cheaper than market price pls let me know.

I think everyone will get the clear (no colour) bundled case, so doesn't matter black or orchid grey or gold. Most likely I will have 2 of it as spare coz got the Spigen & UAG case for my S8+ (black) and wife's (orchid grey). Let's pm if you are interested. smile.gif

Yes. But they don't allow for purchased. I tried asking for price at Lyn Samsung store. They said it's for display purpose only.

Maybe ask also how many people collecting there lol, I want to ask them to apply screen protector for me sweat.gif
The clear cases do have colour, it's a slight tint, there's six colours, can check here

http://www.samsung.com/my/smartphones/galaxy-s8/accessories/
*
I thought the color tint is caused by the reflection of the phone itself. Since all of us will get the same starter kit, I doubt the clear case is color matched. The other day while I glance thru the official accessories at the Samsung store, the sales lady did point to me the clear case that we will be getting, it is clear without color.

QUOTE(vin39 @ May 1 2017, 09:02 PM)
I am interested with the color that is kindda purplelish one which i believe is to pair with the orchid grey. the no color one not nice. cry.gif hopefully if u get the one which is color match then will be more than glad to purchase it from you.

I doubt it is color matched, but wait till I get the case on hand this Thursday. rclxm9.gif

if it is thick then maybe, but the sp from samsung is the thin one..  hmm.gif

If it does lift the edge, we can actually trim 2mm off the edge to prevent it since it is normal SP, not glass. icon_idea.gif

after reading few forums on the web..general consensus are s8/s8+ DAC are quite good..

though its still a step below v20/G6/Axon 7 level.. the snapdragon version of s8 sounds similar like HTC 10 as its using the same Aqstic dac..

Exynos will/might be using Cirrus Logic CS43130 which is rumoured to be quite good..cant compare tu ESS quad Dac on the V20/g6 or Axon 7 AKM Dac setup but would be leap and bound improvements of the abysmal s7edge DAC.

can't wait to try it out with my BA iem this thursday..
*
good to hear that, if it sound not really much worse off than the Fiio X5 III, I will let go of the X5 III. hmm.gif

i can feel you..haha.. sama sama my wife - buy her new phone also need to convince her this is worth it coz pre-order come with "RM900+" free gift. More worth buy now than later. Coz she always say why so urgent to buy, buy few months later see got problem or not first. Or buy the Note 8 later. dry.gif

My wife's Note 3 screen protector crack liao and casing also not in good condition already, so she just remove both and use it naked.

This is the hard part. They are so freaking secretive. No address, no number. Just call them when you reach there and they will ask the supervisor to guide you, at least that's for my case.

I think maybe some of the hub is not operating in the "right" place. I have been to a hub which is located in a new housing area, in a residential house. laugh.gif

ninja will never reveal their hideout. I bet they even blindfold you to bring you to their office after they contacted you

I think I have been to one of their hub in industrial area here in JB to collect my shipment before.
