Hi bro mafioso! Good to see another Note 5 owner in here (me as well)! Finally decided to switch over to Note 8 ya? You won't regret it! I switched from Note 5 to S8+ to Note 8, all in 2017. Quite a long journey! LOL.
Btw, save your energy on explain why you purchase it with retail price. Some people in here tend to look down, or make fun of the people who have bought the device with higher price. Then they keep showing off and said how cheap are their device, what kind of gift they have received.
Mine was purchased during roadshow, had to go early, had to queue up, wasted about 2 -3 hours, paid with retail price. So what? I could say that I got a free VR headset (RM499), a clear view standing flip cover (RM249) with signature from Korean star (priceless?), screen protection 1 year (RM149), and also a selfie with Korean star (again, priceless). After round it up I could say my device is only RM3102 + a selfie with Korean star which is priceless. Should I be proud of it and keep showing off?
The answer is definitely no. Everyone has their own interpretation about how worthy of the price when they were getting their devices. As long as you, the owner is happy, then there's nothing to worry/regret about. And nobody should judge you on what price you have paid for.
Hope to see you more often in here bro! Just ask question if you have any doubts on the device. We are gladly to help.

haha i was deciding between the s8+ / note 8 at first

almost went with the s8+ then dunno why i go and give the note 8 another chance of checking it out
after reviewing at the store + check online reviews.. decided on the note 8 instead

well, for me i always buy my phones where i can see it before i buy. it gives me a peace of mind before purchasing
plus if there really are anything with the unit, at least the staff is there to see it and they have to change it on the spot for me
rather than going through the hassle of online
agree with you, everyone buys their phone differently.. some look for the best deals, some prefers a peace of mind
at the end of the day you gotta sacrifise something, you cant have it all
- want cheap price? sacrifise your peace of mind of the unit (in terms of quality of the unit, delivery process, delays from parcel/seller, etc)
- want a peace of mind? sacrifise that cheaper price
also nothing worth to show off if you bought it at a cheaper price (if they really want to go that childish way of comparison, i can also say i can afford it at retail price without thinking twice. who's the better income earner?

)
i just hope we can get oreo before 17th so that i can upgrade + set it up
very lazy to wipe and re-set up again hahaha (i always practise wiping the phone on major upgrades of the firmware)

yours what color? i reserved midnight black
