But it hss been mentioned before that they will honour hardware defects even though you might have rooted your phone yes?

 

[kmkimlo]

its subjective.

some people likes it big some likes it small

there is even a Galaxy Note club here and they will think the Galaxy Nexus is small!

lol.. not talking about the physical size.. =p.. to fork out $1k for a phone is not friendly to my pocket

 

[lordlad0]

most high-end smartphones are 1k+ without subsidised by carriers...

 

[azarel]

nope, doesnt include GST.,,total came to about $1030 sgd
I went with this over Clove cos of the local warranty + avoid foreign transaction fee if i bought from UK. I did not ask how warranty works but 1 yr and local sealed the deal for me. Even if they send it overseas, I have a backup phone and can deal with it (if it comes to that)

hmm i ordered from sgbest also... but was abit dissappointed to know that they don't have stock yet... otherwise i might just go with Clove instead... hope they don't delay the delivery of the galaxy nexus...

How about cancelling it and get from clove instead? Unless warranty is that much of an issue to you.

Clove has it in stock and it takes DHL just 2 days to send it to SG according to some here.

As for VAT, singaporeans don't have to pay for VAT. As long you are not ordering and delivering to an address in Europe. But you have to pay GST to import items priced more than SGD400 here.

Hi I just got back!

Yes SORRY! I forgot I also ordered a Casemate Tough case. However it is *not in stock" but they have charged my card as well. They said it will be posted to me later....

The Casemate Tough Case is 24.99 GBP.

So my total is S$1009 BEFORE GST!

Oh by the way, my Galaxy Nexus automatically did the upgrade OTA while I was out just now. Excellent. Plus first time I got a welcome email from Google.

I have my Nexus S rooted running the latest Koush CM9 A12. Before I got the Galaxy Nexus I already thought ICS was very smooth and quick there. But after trying out the Galaxy Nexus, Koush's ROM seem like quite some way to become comparable yet.

Oh no wonder, you added the case. Now that means you paid additional postage charge for the case too. So the exchange rate is around 2.07 which is more or less there.

Since all came in the same package that means you also have to pay GST for the case + extra postage as well... but well it's not that much more I suppose.

Welcome to the club bros and just in time to enjoy the gadget during the weekend

 

[miyamiya]

Well, I couldn't stand the poison here... so just made payment to SGbest as well... man that's 2 android gadgets in a year...

 

[Vulpix]

Don't think you all will regret lar. My friend in the UK also bought his set and very happy with it. And he was a ex-SGS2 user.

 

[johnsonheng]

i heard for the same model in japan,
the phone will be lock back once the user do a hard master reset.

Any updates on delivery? I just made an order this morning and so far there's nothing from them to me.

yeah...just called them and its out for delivery now.
coincidently, i got an email from SGBest with the "TAX INVOICE" this morning...so i think it goes hand in hand.

Cool. Well I made payment before 1030 am this morning and it registered as payment received.

According to their FAQ, they should be processing and sending soon if payments are made before 1030am... I'll probably call them later in the day if there are no updates.
