Hi fellow Innov8-ers!
 Seriously interested in getting one. Wanna upgrade from SE W810i. Do enlighten me pls. Is there any different between a SG set and Msia/local set. I came across a good offer on an SG 8GB set, a used set for less than 2K. This is definitely not an FMG/ori set right?! Should I be cautious despite it being a frickin good deal?!  |

QUOTE(Aishiteru^Suki @ Jan 11 2009, 05:59 AM) By the way bro.. i think its a great upgrade if you were from w810 as this phone is worth it.. Hi Aishiteru^Suki-chan! Thks for the heads-up. well Sg or Malaysia is just the same in terms of build quality, all come with the same original warranty but differ in countries of coz if you wanna claim the warranty. I lol at one seller who told me the "Malaysia Ori Set" build quality is far greater than "SG set".. i think he thought SG set is an AP set..  Anyway there was a lot a lot of 1nd set of 8GB for less than rm2k last time i found here on the net.. heck even my FMG Malaysia 16GB just cost me rm2k.. so what do u think my deal was??  so in your case, its nothing special here.. u might wanna consider other deals first though.. good luck.. hope you can join this little club soon  Things to be caution, make sure you check the battery life ( i dunno how.. coz your testing time may be limited but do take note on this  ).. And do try install some 3rd party apps.. some owners here are not able to install 3rd party apps.. whats the use of symbian if your phone behaves like that..   Wow, you bought a FMG Innov8 16GB for 2K?!  I'm like seriously green with envy now.  I definitely will be on look-out for other deals as well. Where did you get urs?? Mind pointing me to the rite direction if u happened to come across other GREAT deals such as urs.It appeased me somewhat to finally knw that SG and Msia/local set are both original. *me lack of knwledge on these things* I get confused with the terms ori, ap and whats not.  If dats the case, then it will be a hassle for me if I owned an SG set then...in case sumthing happened to my newly acquired Innov8.  Will factor in dat fact in my decision making. Battery life? I think Ive read enough to knw that the phone sucks up battery big time, im willing to deal with dat. Already take note to implement all those battery saving tips other Innov8-ers have advised to do so. As for the inability to install 3rd party apps, Im jus hoping Samsung do take note and update the FW to resolve those issues. |

QUOTE Well as for 3rd party apps i dunno whats the cause of the problem as our fellow owner here, corad had updated to the latest FW and yet to be able to install 3rd party apps.. rclxub.gif so maybe u can at least try install 3rd party apps before u purchase bro.. wink.gif Lets just say I'm going at it with blind faith. I doubt the seller wud let me try installing 3rd party apps. And, not to mention, if I do buy it *ehem, I'm like 98% sure I'm gonna buy this monster*, it will be my first Symbian smartphone. I have no experience owning a smartphone watsoever. I'm upgrading from a feature phone (SE W810i) to a Symbian smartphone (Innov8). I'm just hoping the learning curve is not dat steep. QUOTE yuppie-kun.. you can check HERE i bought from this guy.. its a FMG Ori Set but do note its without warranty card though.. wink.gif Oops, it shud be-->Aishiteru-kun instead of aishiteru-chan, right?!!  arigato gozaimasu, aishiteru-kun for the point in the rite direction. I have PM-ed the guy and am waiting for his reply. |

LOL! Yeah, I think we SHUD stop ehem..pretending we knw Japanese, aishiteru-kun. Like you, I LURVVEEEE animes and sappy japanese dramas. ;p
Thanks to you, aishiteru-kun. I have PM-ed/sms-ed/called a few sellers. Now, either still no news or they've ran out of stock. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, I will hit the jackpot with one of 'em. Hhmm, it's totally mind-boggling why SCs don't have a standard requirement to process our complaint and what-not. It's too much of a hassle in the end for the users, I think. This will definitely remind me to keep all the necessary docs just in case anything happens.  |

Behold the all knowing aishiteru-kun!
Have u heard of users complaining on lagging issues when navigating thru the UI, especially when accessing media files between the 8GB and 16GB version? Not sure if anyone have asked tis. So I'm throwing the question to fellow Innov8-ers. |

Hey guys!
To aishiteru-kun, sorry I've been keeping quiet lately. Now, I'm a proud owner of a Samsung Innov8 8Gb.  For the last one week, I've been having trouble putting it down to admire how LARGE the screen is. Out in the sun, the legibility do get affected a bit but it's a minor issue for me. I was surprised dat i dun mind how substantial it feels in my hand..now i kinda like having a big handphone. Yeah, navigating thru the Symbian s60 menu was not that hard though it did take a few tries to get where i want to. Battery life as all here has confirmed, it is power hungry especially if the multimedia features eg camera, video playing, surf the net are utilized. Haven't done exploring the phone yet. *ehem* I'm still ogling at how gorgeous the phone is. LOL! I also havent install any 3rd party apps. Oh, one thing I really missed is having animated icons/smiley you can inserted when you sms someone. Have anyone found any 3rd party app that can do this? |

QUOTE(hanieyf @ Feb 8 2009, 02:30 AM) how bout speakfor this phone? ok? rase nak beli je .. lol The speaker is quite loud, I think. Loudspeaker during calls is better than my previous SE W810i. The clarity is great. Playing music on the loudspeaker is not bad, it still sounds reasonably good even when you turn up volume. |
