Samsung’s mammoth Galaxy Note has shipped over a million units in 2 months. Not bad considering it hasn’t launch in US yet. According to Samsung, they have been getting strong demands in both Europe and Asia with countries like France, Germany Taiwan and Hong Kong showing a steady rise.
This also shows that the sheer 5.3″ size didn’t really put off consumers from wanting it. In Malaysia, the Galaxy Note is proven a hit just like its Samsung Galaxy S II sibling.
While the Galaxy Nexus is launching soon, Note users are expected to receive Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update as early as Q1 2012.
If you’re wanting to own a Galaxy Note for free, the Galaxy Note Angry Birds competition is still running until year end. There are 3 Malaysians on the Top 10 right now and the highest is on the #3 spot.

Update: It seems that we have offended a few Nokia N8 enthusiasts out there with our findings. In pursuit of the truth, we want to set the record straight, and so we have a proposition for the N8 enthusiasts who’ve expressed their opinions about this post. We have a proposition for you. Is the Nokia N8 still the best camera phone out there? Let’s settle this once and for all. Head on over to after the jump for details.
###
We’re just one week away from the launch of the iPhone 4S in Malaysia. Aside from an uprated processor that’s now dual-core and very chatty Siri, the biggest improvement on the new iPhone is its camera.
With a Sony-sourced 8MP backlit sensor and improved optics, Apple says the new camera on its latest iPhone offers performance that rivals most dedicated point-and-shoot cameras, but is this claim founded?
Naturally, we’re curious to find out ourselves if the camera on the iPhone 4S is as good as Apple claims it to be, and so we’ve assemble some of the best 8MP smartphone shooters we could get our hands on along with the 12MP Nokia N8 for good measure and went out on a photowalk; taking pictures and videos using these devices in various situations to find out which smartphone available in the market right now has the best camera overall.
We compare the iPhone 4S with the Samsung Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II, Motorola RAZR, Sony Ericsson Xperia ray and Nokia N8. Follow us to after the jump to see the sample shots and videos as well as our verdict on which smartphone has the best camera right now.

Samsung together with Rovio is currently running a global Angry Birds competition to promote the Galaxy Note. All you got to do is play Angry Birds on Google Chrome and try to get the highest score amongst players from all over the world. Top 50 scorers will stand a chance to win Samsung Galaxy Notes and a bunch of Angry Birds merchandise.
What’s awesome is that a Malaysian is currently leading the pack amongst hard core Angry Birds gamers from around the world. Not only that three Malaysians are in the top three spot and six are in the top 20.
It goes to show that we Malaysians take our Angry Birds very, very seriously.
Think you’re a serious Angry Bird contender, the Competition ends January 1, 2012, so there’s still time to make your global mark. Winners will be announced before January 14, 2012. Good luck people!
Thanks @tigervyh for the headsup. He’s currently 17th in the competition.
