Unfortunately, that's the trick. Price of phone without the printer is RM1999.00 (normal retail price being RM2099.00). Difference of RM100 only.

The only other way around this is to buy the package and then sell of the printer separately to recoup some money.

bro... its not that viewty is cheap. you are doing it abit wrong... printers cost is much much more lower that you imagine. furthermore its a bundle package, and i can see that this printer not worth more than RM200 if direct from factory with a big volume. canon doesnt need to be afraid becoz, they will gain back when they sell you consumables and inks~

wats the latest update of this phone ? Any new firmware or anything nice u guys discover ? Just came back from europe today. So missed alot of things heh heh

i played with the phone today.

the UI seemed ok.
nothing fancy.
the camera is nice.
the manual focus takes some time to get used to but i think using the AF is so much easier.
the 120fps is something very neat indeed.
typing the sms is alright.
3 options, handwriting recognition, keypad (like on normal phones) and qwerty.
i personally prefer qwerty.
the lipstick stylus is rather annoying as it moves around when u moved the phone.

other than that, i feel like the phone is just ok.
maybe i'll wait for w960i and maybe just settle for n81.
maybe i had too high expectations of it.

w960... hard to settle for that one. not sure why. i previously into that... but it just changed recently.. maybe i waited too long...

jsut went to lowyat yesterday... lowest price for viewty is rm 1850 INCLUDING printer... still not sure... im stuck between k 850i (rm 1480), nokia n 82 (rm 1800 with 2gb) or viewty (rm 1850 with printer and 1gb).... haizzz

why n82?
5mp camera?
i personally feel the design for k850i is better.
=p

Yeah, the design is unique but the performance is a bit in doubt right now. Hopefully the new firmware fixes a lot of the bugs that it has.

Guys~!

i'm using KU990_V10b.

I can't seems to locate the qwerty input method when writing sms. Need some help here.

Thanks

Try pressing on the icon besides the T9 icon and choose keyboard. Not too sure about this though.
Hopefully i'm right.

Hi...mind sharing which shops offered you the pricing for the Viewty and N82? I'm undecided between these two at the moment...

Thanks.

argh.. same here! cant decide between N82 n viewty.. im interested to know where did u get those offers too alalio.. very nice price!

wahhh... so many ppl in dilemma to buy new year phone. I'm also stuck in between Viewty and N82.

Price : Viewty wins (free printer + 1GB microSD) for Original set

Viewty strong features:
1) 3" Touchscreen (sensitive or not, need to try it urself)
2) 120fps QVGA video (useless for me)
3) Edit photo & video on-the-fly
4) QWERTY keyboard (SMS and email only; not for web URL)
5) ISO800
6) Image stabilizer
7) VGA videocall (N82 only CIF quality)
8) Manual focus / jog-scroller


N82 strong features:
1) Can install many 3rd party apps like fring.com, call recorder, nokmote, etc.
2) Assisted-GPS
3) Multi-tasking (i.e listen to MP3 while browsing)
4) WiFi
5) 3.5mm audio jack (but compatibility with cheap headset is questionable)
6) Unlimited phonebook entries (Viewty maxed at 500 entries only)
7) Push-to-talk
8) Voice dial


Guess, I'll have to do more research on these two phones before passing over my E61 to his new owner.

Do we have dedicated thread on these Viewty vs. N82? Tried the search function, but only found K850i vs N82. For me, K850i is history.

I only see Handwriting box, handwriting Screen and keypad~!

n82 has an auto-rotate function as well.

=)

but rather ugly keypad(IMHO)

Yup the N82 keypad had turned me off. Need <removed> to make me "buy" N82...LOL

hopefully N82i or 8GB will give free bluetooth flip-keyboard, if that thing is available in the market.

Juz a few more question to help me make up my mind to get this Viewty...
1.) Is the UI fast and snappy?
2.) the max capacity of the card is 2GB rite?So does it slow down significantly when u almost fill it up?
3.) How's the quality of the sound and display?How's the display under the sun?
4.) Real life battery life?
5.) Wht kind of audio jack it's using?
6.) How's the built?Izzit plasticky cheap or...?

Thx in advance...

few more days till end of dec, say bye bye to the printer

Hmm, this is weird. Try pressing on keypad. I'll check it out when I get the chance.

Q:
this phone got "flight Mode" or not ?
Can use the camera without a simcard ?
