If the price is accurate, then it will strengthened AP's price. RM13xx-14xx will give it a good advantage and maybe prompts sellers to not drop price any further. I think a good RM300-400 will be an encouragement for prospective buyers to choose AP over original. Lets wait for more reports on the official price.

The N82 is also a good imaging phone. But I don't fancy the candybar design which tries to be N81-ish but without the slider.

Yeah yeah! Its called Crazy Spot. Another game would be Hexxagon Labs. Which is something like checkers where you tries to conquer as much space as possible. It is also like the games we used to play during secondary school using Mathematics sheets.

Yeah, better get the BT since M2 card is quite reasonable in price. However if you have a bluetooth headset already, then you can consider topping a little to upgrade that 1GB to 2/4GB M2 card. These days sellers are very flexible and tries to accommodate different requirements of customers.

Hexxagon labs huh, i'll check it out. Thks for the information.

i got my 4GB s.disk m2 at RM115. It's expensive but it's the same if i go KL purposely just for buying the card.

the black G900 i saw in subang parade at RM1700 was Original,....I saw the THORUS hologram on the
battery compartment... (the handphone shop told me...they have not sell any yet....stock just arrive )

if AP (G900) for only RM1400 full package....is definetly worth buying AP set !!!

(anyway, that handphone shop recommends me to buy N82...which is only RM1500 for AP  set....
but I don't really like Nokia...don't know why lah.........)  whistling.gif

I have had good experience with COMSAT before. They have 1 year warranty on the LCD screen too. Handset is more than one year and 3-6 months for other accessories. I have heard good things about CSL too but I am not sure if they do carry this model.

as long as you get your set from 1st tier AP companies is okay. such as Comsat, Telstra, Asia Mobile etc.

Yes, thats correct. Safer that way. Anyway before purchasing, check and double check all the features are working properly especially the LCD screen for any dead spots, keypads, and the touch screen. Open up the notes program (the first button on the top left). Use the stylus and draw around the whole screen to check the touchscreen. This is to check for dead strips of touchscreens.

I am in SG now and tried this phone earlier. its SGD688 here. original and without any contract. translate to about RM1670 (give or take the xchange rate diff).

There is a slight delay in respond but i think its much better than the Samsung Omnia i tested also. The rest of the phone look pretty much like the old SE menu. I am gonna be here for a while so i'll wait for the price to go down further before committing. The G900 have gone from $768 when i arrive a month ago to $688 now.

The one thing i wish its better is the UI graphic. It's not as "groovy" as iPhone or the Samsung F480 but i think this might change with theme (well at least that i how the SE menu works...!!!). BTW this one is not HSDPA?

Both the usual M2 and Ultra M2 will work for G900. However, the speed/performance boost is as much as what is supported on the G900's internal memory card controller. So far the speed for the usual M2 is quite fast on the G900. I would commit for capacity rather than speed for now. Anyway if you're the type that likes to swap M2 cards around and use an external card reader for read/write large files, then an Ultra M2 would be nice.

Well Symbian OS executes a program faster than WM actually. Maybe because each Symbian OS (be it S60/UIQ/etc) is tailored to a specific phone architecture. WM however caters to a wide audience. Don't get me wrong, the OS is tailored and optimized for a phone too. But the applications by 3rd parties however are hard to control. Maybe that could take anywhere between 1 to a few seconds for application launching. But I have to agree that WM's OS is more complex and demanding due to its resource requirement.

Actually the UIQ interface has been the same for many generations now. It has been touched up and optimized for G900 especially with the addition of panels, smoother transitions, better thumb/finger operation, a nice camera interface and inclusion of Media Center. However, much of the other interface remains the same or somewhat simplified. I don't think the themes could do any change because currently, G900 do not support Flash lite on its wallpaper/home screen. So Flash UI remains the impossible at the moment.

Actually I wonder whether you guys have seen the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1's user interface on youtube. So far we only saw the panel interface. If you would look carefully, the transitions are still pretty laggy. Apart from that, its back to the old old WM boring interface.

HTC Diamond and Samsung Omnia so far earns the effort for hiding most of the WM's interface with their own UI. So I won't say X1 is the best now. It is still unannounced and that means its still in development stage. Anything can change now. SE already canceled a few models so... there's no tell it might cancel more models. But so far, if X1's video preview is of any indication the UI isn't better than the available choices now in the market.

orite... now i m blur sotong with dis mobile technology. So can this G900 change the UI theme to look different? my W850 have pretty cool theme. The G900 theme is more mature biz looking but something more groovy would be nice.

yerp...difinitely agree with u bro... nod.gif nod.gif
unless they show the real interface of it, then we can judge it...

nway to spideysam
x1 specs is good n beat the touch pro in certain aspect but for the UI/interface, SE is kinda new n like kids in WinMO development, HTC likes the old wise geezer...either X1 can match HTC touchflo3D or not, we hv to wait until proper review on retail unit, b4 that time, its pointless to say X1 hv better UI...got it kiddy?
