Galaxy Note ?

[CharlieH]

Anyone got a Galaxy note yet ? what's it like ?, did you get a good deal if so where ?

Sorry to hear about your troubles or run of bad luck, my experience is the other side of the coin, have several Samsung products, the washing machine hasnt missed a beat in the last 5 years and is still going strong. I have 3 of their TV's and never had an issues with them or the remotes, I have LED/LCD and Plasma units. The DVD players are Samsung and the fridges. The computer I am writing this on is also Samsung, same again no issues. My last 3 telephones have all been Samsung and those great too, still in use by other family members as I upgrade to the latest being a Tech Toy junky.

I am a very happy Samsung customer have never had any issues with any of the products I have ever bought, and as you can see I have bought a huge range of items from them.

I didnt actually realize how many Samsung products I had until I wrote this and pretty much everything is Samsung and nothing (touch wood) has ever broken down or been a problem.

May be I am just lucky.

There is a mobile fair coming up at Queen Sirikhits, maybe try there, last year I bought the S Plus for the wife, got 1000baht of Tesco vouchers, a bluetooth headset and a 8MB memory card thrown in, the price was the same as downtown, but with the extras a good deal.

Just checked QSNCC website, mobile expo on 26 - 29 Jan. Commart on 22 - 25 March.

Forgot also got a pillow and small speakers for the Phone - free.

Thanks for the tip Beano, will keep an eye open for those.

Don't know what happened to the other comment which I replied to above but makes the whole thread look kind of crazy with it being deleted????

The Galaxy Note had an impressive review on a web site I tend to trust: The Register.

See http://www.reghardware.com/2011/12/05/review_samsung_galaxy_note_android_tablet_and_phone/

Of course that doesn't match other people's first hand experience, but it might be a hint. It certainly made me willing to have one but it isn't cheap.

Appreciate the link, thanks for that.

I have been quoted 22k locally ( North East) and 21.5 - 23.5k in MBK

You paid app. 19500 bath , which I wouldn't call much cheaper, but cheaper. What about warranty if needed?

Samsung never does international warranty with its products at all (except laptops)

Check before you buy.. Siem Riep made it extra dodgy.

Bought my Note about a month ago now and paid 21900 Baht. Same price in Malaysia BTW if anyone is thinking about getting one in KL. The phone is amazing with beautiful video playback and great sound. My kids hijack it from me anytime I turn my back on it. As for making calls its no different than my other Samsung phones, it is however superior using speaker phone. Again that is attributed to the decent speakers Samsung used.

My only complaint would be battery life but it is used heavily. I need to recharge it daily however USB charging makes it easy as I am always near or working on one of my computers. I have so many devices now that charge by USB that I am always near a cable to plug it in. I still get grief connecting to Samsung Kies software but that happens with all my Samsung devices.

I wonder if what he meant was servicing the warranty?

I know last month I bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 & a Galaxy Cooper in Central Airport Mall Chiang Mai

I am now back in the USA & went to register it here & they said sorry no.

They said I have to register it in Thailand & if it needs service I need to send it to Thailand.

I am not too worried as I never have had to service my previous Samsung products but I told them I was not

happy with that policy.
