Some have said that updating the FW does make a difference, and some said it's a hardware problem. i notice that most pics posted..the green tint isn't that noticeable unless really take a close look 2 it. anyway, how to check the manufacturing date of the phone? eg. week XX year 200X

Then look for something like this. 07WXX. Something like that. You should find it at the back of the phone. i can't even notice it from the pics u posted, bro. means i'm not choosy? alright. thanks bro G-Izzat. will check for that.

QUOTE(MoNnY @ Jan 11 2008, 09:15 AM) yea good question.. but judging from the pictures, set it to auto, just shoot a blank white paper.. cause if it does have the tint, should be really obvious QUOTE(lovehewit @ Jan 11 2008, 09:29 AM) Don't put too high hope. I went to one service center before. I also called up SE for the same complaint, both telling me: 1. WAIT 2. They have not received such complain on P1i before. I think we need to spread this issue out, whoever got such problem should at least call up SE. They are not doin their job. Complained 2 days ago. No more news from them ever since. the problem now is whether do the seller allow us to do so when COD, if there's any green tint issue, will he/she allow us to change another set. must get the confirmation from them first. especially those from LYN HP Sales threads.

Dah Macan? Senior Member 3,239 posts Joined: Oct 2006 From: Sydney, NSW	RM89 for first month then RM70 for 23 months. total RM1699. quite a good buy since it's an original set + cheaper than market price + offers 0% installment plan. but gotta wait 2 weeks for the phone to arrive once approved. trying to get my hands on one now. waiting for parents' permission. where u got the info from anyway? it's not even on the bank's website. got to know it thru Ambank CC promo personnel @ shopping complexes.

Dah Macan? Senior Member 3,239 posts Joined: Oct 2006 From: Sydney, NSW	hey guys...just found out that OCBC is having 0% installment plan for P1i too. RM158 x 12 months. total is RM1896. any idea how much is the market price for an ori set? is it RM19xx? Ambank is having the same promo too but only RM1699 & installment plan up to 24 months. but 24 months is way too long.

Dah Macan? Senior Member 3,239 posts Joined: Oct 2006 From: Sydney, NSW	QUOTE(travolta_lim @ Jan 30 2008, 11:44 PM) Teik Wing, Mind to tell me how did u get from OCBC? I only know we can puchase from UOB online shop(by installment). Today went to Tesco Penang, saw a phone shop. Go in and asked for P1i price, he told me RM1.9k . Fine, then i asked how about AP? He told me: I think u have to get it from Kastam. Then he laugh no la just kidding we dont have it. WTF, dont have then say dont have la. This kind of "humour" is not entertaining. i got it from my mom's OCBC credit card promo catalog. RM158 X 12 months installment. valid till March. Ambank also having promotion for its credit card holders. cheaper @ RM1688. RM89 first month then RM70 for next 23 months. never know UOB provide the P1i package too. how much is their offer price? the best place in Penang to get AP sets is Prangin i think. it's not so 'wide-spread' like in KL. EDIT : just checked @ UOB online store. retail @ RM2188. RM186 first month & RM182 for next 11 months. price is kinda steep as compared to other banks. best offer is from RHB bank currently. heard that the offer is till Feb.

Dah Macan? Senior Member 3,239 posts Joined: Oct 2006 From: Sydney, NSW	guys, just leave the WM fanboy alone. obviously he's just trying to get some attention here. i've actually bought M600i even w/o even trying its keypad. fall in love with the phone just with the pictures & reviews. i admit that the QWERTY keypad is really hard to use @ first if u just moved from a normal phone but well, after one week of usage, i'm loving it. honestly. after been using it for almost a year, i can't even think of moving back to normal keypad phones again. like Shufflerz, P1i has been the top gadget on my wish list since it's out. for a mere 1.3K, it offers the best package in a phone. and the best part is, i'm getting mine soon, very soon. joining the big & happy family.

AFAIK, it does not. if u want GPS to works with it u will need an external GPS receiver device such as Holux GPS,Garmin Mobile XT etc. not sure whether anyone actually tried & make it work though.

Dah Macan? Senior Member 3,239 posts Joined: Oct 2006 From: Sydney, NSW	QUOTE(carbon14 @ Apr 17 2008, 09:03 PM) Yes you are right about the specs and the price drop that P1 will experience when G900 is released. I think that even if the price will drop, the price for a new SE phone will allow you to buy "2 P1is" . Your right about this part. If the phone were to launch by May/July the price drop in P1 will be inevitable. Which is great news. If lets say someone would to buy a P1i now, should he wait for the phone to be launched and expect the price drop? My personal answer is "Yeah why not if you can wait" we can observe that P1i's price had actually dropped quite much lately, especially within these few months. it was around RM13XX during pre-CNY period. now it hovers around RM1090 only. makes it so so affordable to own one nowadays, not suprisingly seeing so many on the streets now. anyway, it's really inevitable for P1i's price to drop continually until G900 is launched & drop more after that. it's normal for phone's price to drop when new models are coming out. by June it would been almost a year since P1i was launched (IINM, it was launched around July last year). but the price really dropped more than P990i in the same time frame. but its good to have such feature-packed phone at such affordable price right? its still one of the most value-for-money phone till now. no doubt.
