i dont know how much should i sell too.
this one selling at rm380. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4282094

i wish to offer at rm350. let me know if you guys think it is not reasonable.
*
definitely cannot fetch RM350. Some more the warranty also miss leading - only 6 months warranty by SME, not 1 year. And warranty is by receipt I think. So need to give the buyer the receipt too or help to claim warranty on behalf if anything happen within 6 months.

kesian i mcm a few test couldn't hear the beep beep, getting old dy

the adaptive sound? Yes, I always do that, it will improve the sound quality quite noticeably. You need to find some really quiet place to do the test.

I am wondering IF I manage to grab 1 set from the roadshow this evening to get the Gear VR, is it easy to sell the phone + freebies at the same official price?

There are lot of staff but failed management. All those staff just stand there at demo set to accompany potential buyers. Shoulda take few people there and open new counter. Seriously la Samsung.

It depends on which side you are from. For SME, those lining up already confirmed sales, so no worry on keeping them waiting for a while. Those still sitting on the fence are those they should work extra hard to make them start queuing up as well. laugh.gif

Their another purpose for the long queue is to make up the hype. When media is there for covering the opening launch today, they will see looooong queue, then make the impression the phones is hot selling. innocent.gif

I ordered mine from UAG site, still waiting for it to arrive.. 8 days already lol..

Check this statement from UAG: https://urbanarmorgear.com/pages/beware-fakes

Mine took 13 days from shipment date (from Hong Kong) to arrival. sweat.gif


QUOTE(yadea @ May 5 2017, 12:54 PM)
I think should be easy in the sense that people see the free stuff plus the value then they rather get it than buy at a bit of discount then need to buy other accessories to complete the phone.
*
But not many can fork out RM3,699 cash. innocent.gif I think that's another issue. biggrin.gif

the other one BIG improvement I noticed - the LTE speed is off the chart compared to my previous Note 3. Can get up to 77mbps download compared to my previous Note 3 12-15mbps in office. Maybe my Note 3 is really too old for the new infra-structure. bangwall.gif

Not only the speed, much better signal strength too. Previously only 1-2 bars, only almost full bar. thumbup.gif

Using U Mobile btw.

the USB Type-C cable that samseng promise to give us,
every one forgot it already?

why no people go make a chao to samseng ?
i need that extra cable lar...

are you talking about the "extra usb cable" in the starter kit. I thought already confirmed by everyone yesterday night it is actually the microUSB cable for the Wireless charger, NOT a USB Type-C cable.

Problem is the curved edge of the S8 bro...

My Note5 no curved edge, all square besi.. dropped so many times also *touchwood* no pecah

haha... agree. Looking at the glass at the end of the infinity pool, do you think it is fragile. But if you add a wall of concrete, then it will be rock solid. laugh.gif

So the "Inifinity display" do come with a price, so we better add a bezel (by add a case) to it. tongue.gif

If you are using Maxis or Digi, you can even get 4G+ and thats much much faster than normal 4G.

With all due to fairness, I think the new thread should be opened by the original TS @ Velocity. But Velocity should learn to control his emotions in here too.

Or even fairer - set up a poll to see who get the more support from us. biggrin.gif

will samsung have the machine to trim the sp for us so that it can fit to cases? anyone trim before?
*
they only have the 'machine" to trim the microSIM to nano sim I think. Trim mine yesterday. laugh.gif

EDIT: Seriously, I think their SP only good for their own casing which provides minimum protection. Most third party casing will have thicker "wall" at all 4 sides that will push the SP up.
