ASUS Zenfone 2

[xDragon]

Don't bother with this already. I pm'd them so many times and they keep saying coming soon and they say it won't be here by march but other news sources said it would. Asus made such an attractive phone but screwed potential customers over with the execution of the launch. Not to mention how much Asus SG is gonna chop chop compared to the original us$199 price point...

Asus Zenfone 2 arrives in China, only the 5.5-inch models

Today, yet another Coming Soon message from Asus Singapore...

 

[Shutterbox]

I'm only interested to know the battery life of this phone, especially for browsing.

Asus Singapore this type of pattern, the last Zenfone 4, 5 and 6 also say coming soon.

 

[Cyborg]

Asus Singapore first publish their coming soon message for Zenfone 2 was dated on 27 Jan 2015, yet till today which is going to reach the full 2 months period, they still publish coming soon.....

Just wonder what is their true definition on "coming soon"?. *sigh*

if you have been working in marketing or PR company you would know that the usual terms for budgeting advert is usu 3 months prior launch so if Jan start meaning it will launch in Apr

Alternative Phones

I have been aiming for this phone as a birthday present for my wife early April.
However I am now having doubt that this phone will be available in Singapore this month, and started looking for other dual SIM, big-screen phones under $500. Any recommendations?

Then if knowing that it usually takes about 3 months prior to launch, they should specify the period instead of using coming soon which keeps people in suspense.
The correct definition of soon is "in a short time". Is 3 months considered short?
That's my personal opinion.

There is a shortage of 5.5" models even in Taiwan, only available on pre-ordered basis. ASUS could not satisfy the demand.

 

[Z_Dash]

Disappointed. Will hang on till first week of april.
If by then their fulfillment still cannot make it then I'll just switch to another.
