Samsung GALAXY Note: Worth buying?

[goodpexer]

Question guys, sabi sa aking ng Smart approve na daw ako and I have to wait for a week kasi dadalhin pa ang stock sa store nila. Mag-antay na lang daw ako tawag.

It's been 3 weeks na, kayo ba paano niyo kinuha iyong phone. Tatawag ba or puntahan sa smart center.

Kasi parang tinatamad na din ako bilhin ito, baka mag s3 na lang ako o htc one x.

by text. a day after ko pa nakuha yung phone kasi nasa work ako nung nareceive ko yung text.

ang sabi may 3 days na naka reserve yung phone. kaya dapat makuha mo na yung phone 3 days before sila nag text sayo

@Idol_Fanatic - kumusta screen ng Note mo? I assume aware ka sa mga screen-issues?

[RuckuS]

yes! best fone in the market now.

[goodpexer]

yes makukuha ko na iyong fone mamaya, sana naman walang mga hidden charges ang smart

[riverhorse]

^ Still free at Plan 2000 of Smart? Not a bad deal actually.

[Idol_Fanatic]

screen issues like???

[maysapaw]

makikipost lang ulit.

i went to korea a week ago and to my surprise it seem like a LOT of people were using SG Note! ang kaibahan may antenna yung sa kanila (i saw some peeps watching tv while on subway).

at dahil maraming SG Note, maraming handphone accessories! napabili tuloy ako ng 2 phone wallet/cover to replace the original one dahil ang daling nasira.

^ Makes sense. With that big screen watching tv shows would be a decent experience.

Interesting read from GSMArena : Samsung selling Galaxy Note Olympic Edition in UK

We have learned that this particular model will be sold exclusively in UK through O2 and along with the Galaxy Note, Samsung also has a special edition model of the Galaxy Y. Along with the special back covers, buyers can also win tickets to an Olympic Games event, Team GB training camp or a celebration event. Also, for every purchase of these phones, Samsung will also be contributing £1 to Team GB athletes of the future.

Nag-apply ako sa smart sm pampanga.. Submit ako mga requirements hinanap nila proof of income na ang nakalagay lang sakin is 16k a month.. Aba si ate rep di daw ako elihible kasi ang baba daw ng salary ko (


So lumipat po ako ibang mall, ibang smart center nagbabaka sakali. Pinasa ko same requirements.. Tinanggap naman ni kuya rep. Kaso wlang stock ng note s kanila.. AND for approval pa po yung application ko...


QUESTION:
nung nagapply po ba kayo at binigay nyo requirements that same day sinabi rin sa inyo na approved na application nyo and you just have to wait for the text to claim the phone OR tinext lang kayo after ilang days at dun pa lang sinabi na approve na?

Sakin po kasi hindi inapprove affront, tatawagan pa lang daw kung approved..


Thanks po sa magrereply.

^ Mas mabilis kung credit card sa Smart. Speaking from experience. Pwede rin namang hindi credit card if you have all the requirements.

Mas mabilis mong makukuha ang unit kung mayroon sila available. Kahit isa lang unit ang available basta approve na application mo ay ibibigay naman sa iyo.

Madalas naman sa atin dito sa Pinas hindi ganoon kalaki ang sweldo kapag nagsisimula pa lang magtrabaho. Pero kung magtiyatiyaga ka lang at kapag napromote ka in time I'm sure you will get to the point where you will earn more.

ICS for Note is already out! Upgraded mine from GB to ICS already. Color Banding issue already improved a lot. Black clipping still there but on mine I really dont notice it anymore unless you look for it.

[t_SKY]

how to update from GB to ICS? Kailangan ba mag-backup?

[chickenbrain]

Yung sa akin, nag-prompt lang last Thursday na may available update nung nag-connect ako sa wi-fi. Di na ko nag back-up. Nasa 300MB+ ata yung update..

[nolliejay]

naka-lock sa smart network yung SGN ko. gusto ko sana kahit anong network ang simcard e magamit ko. posible ba na ma-network unlock ko siya kahit bago matapos yung 24-months na lock-in period ng postpaid plan ko? if, yes legal ba yun?

[franzb69]

nako pano na at may sg s3 na?

[goodpexer]

sino dito nakareceive na ng bill from smart data plan 1000? wala bang mga hidden charges?

Me...

There were no hidden charges, except I received a charge for May 16 to June 15 (today's May 30, My cut-off date is every 15th of the month, Line was activated April 18, May 15 the balance due was generated.).

Quite confusing, since I thought I applied for a POSTpaid plan, and yet they're now charging me 1 MONTH Advance.

The sales agent told me before that the payment I made when I got the phone will be treated as my first monthly bill payment...

So then I called *888 for clarification and I was told that the charge was indeed 1 month advanced payment and will be used at the end of the contract. O_O
