SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE III THREAD

[human_shieldz]

I heard that telcos are given a fixed number of sets from apple, thats how demand is generated.

Hopefully this doesn't happen for the note 3... But given the popularity of the phone, hopefully getting a phone set and an appointment will be easier.

Singtel launch event for Iphone is 3 days......

Maybe Singtel also didn't control properly or they wanna get over-order so they can supply base on demand. Well, it's better to undersupply and then make more than oversupply. But seeing people seething over a phone is damm funny.

Why are there still no displays sets in stores?

LOL eh check with you guys who had Note 2 if you still remember, if register interest liao then what is the procedure ah? It's like i wanna buy but 27th i not free or i don't wanna queue can i go collect on the following monday or something?

No **** lor. I dun mind queue for 2hrs or something but spending so much time there to rot is super dumb. Actually 2hrs also damm stupid le, i see the people in Singtel complaining about the iPhone OOS situation is so uncivilized, it's jus a blardy phone and they didn't queue for like 6hrs, it was only online. What can Singtel do if it OOS anyway. Really shameful to be associated with such people.

If you buy without contract you will have to queue maximum like 30 minutes?
With contract around 3 hours(Based on my friend who collected note 2 on launch day)

whats the difference between internal phone memory and micro SD. isnt both using the same technology? difference between a 32gb and 16 gb micro sd card is only $12. Releasing a new baseline 32gb phone is not a reason to raise price but a signal that memory prices are dropping, unless samsung wants to suck our money.

I think internal memory is faster and also you can't move all kinds of apps to the external memory. So best use your internal one for installation and external one for data

The difference is you can't install apps on microSD card anymore. So large internal storage is still very important. Having said that, I like to put media files (movies and music) and documents on the microSD card, freeing the internal storage for those that cannot be stored in the microSD card. Storing data in the microSD card also makes recovering important data easier.

You can't install apps on microSD card anymore? Is that new? On my Android phone with Gingerbread it's possible as long as the app allows it.

The microSD card i mentioned is a class 10 and imagine if this card is soldered onto the main board (which makes it an internal memory) it will be able to achieve high data transfer speed. So I'm wondering is it a different storage technology or same as sd card??

You CAN install apps on MicroSD, that only depends if Samsung patches it with the Android OS, when Galaxy S4 launched, it doesn't allow, but after an update, you can install apps on MicroSD liao

Think new Android policy is they don't allow anymore. Samsung no choice cos they **** up their internal storage with their touchwiz lol Samsung seem to be doing a lot of patterns. Their Galaxy S1 was a major cock up but amazingly they sold so many and paved way for the success of S2. I had to bloody root and format the filesystem to ext before it's usable lol

 

[lugia88]

hello just asking i already pre-registered with starhub for note3 already but they never send me any email for conformation .. anybody already receive emails or anything??

Then no choice, S4 still able to do it, and I believe Samsung can just go ahead, biggest Android market leh, Google also not so stupid go ka jiao much if not S4 still can transfer app to MicroSD.

Anyway 32gb internal more than enough lah for apps...

Nothing... No news at all, apparently all of them are busy preparing for IPhone 5S, which I think they should, it's OOS within 2mins of launch LOL!

Class 10 wouldn't be fast enough at all.

Are you sure about that? I'm still on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and it works but if the current releases don't allow it anymore I wouldn't buy anything with less than 64GB internal storage.

For S3 & S4 launch with Starhub, there was no MAD q...
usual registeration of interest. 1 week or 5days before launch, you will receive email
S3
- selected designated collection point
- No mailer no entertain
- paid on point of sale

S4
- user selected pickup or delivery on prefer date
- paid via VISA/MC through web

I hope Starthub will do the same for Note 3.
This will allow people whom are interested will get the phone.

of course, they do entertain people to q on launch day..however very limited like no more than 20 for walk in
