Normal usage is fine when holding in hand. But when watching videos lim peh like to put it down n tilt it at an angle then got abit of problem liao cus cannot see clearly. But biggest issue is still the USB flap, really cui dunno which genius design de, so hard to open n close + the plastic so thin really scare break

The viewing angle issue can be solved easily. And yes, the usb flap. Well, i already prepare for the worse liao.

true that.. but i was thinking, wont the quality of video not be optimised for XS?

the quality will be the same as playing on a computer. reencoding will degrade the video quality further.

Same. I think you need to call them to cancel it if you don't want. Not sure haven't called them yet. A bit busy with school work these few days.

EDIT: If I'm reading this right, the agreement says REUTERS Asia and REUTERS World is $2 each per month. Sneaky ppl always like to smoke things into the agreement.

When I was at the Singtel shop to get my XS, the staff mentioned that I would have to call the customer hotline after 15 days, but within a month, to request for a cancellation of all these SMS services. Call earlier than 15 days, no effect as the SMS would continue coming (end result is that ur request is not processed at all!) Call after a month, may be too late as the fees would kick in liao, at 2 bucks a month as mentioned by potNPan.

They know there are peeps who would forgot and they would be charged for it. Just like their other "free" VAS after the promo period, they charge you for it.

Agree! Such charges are always hidden in the fine print, which most customers can't be bothered with when they get excited over that new handset! XD

Helpful staff would just flag out these items to the customer and exclude as much as they can on the spot, the rest would leave to customer to cancel after the minimum period of time lapses.



That aside, agree with maumu too. Red LED on black XS would be really chio!

I think a lot of XS owners kena poisoned by ur photos liao

when u dismantle the phone, did u remove any of those 'do not remove' sticker and thereby voided the warranty?
