Anyway, if the new Nexus 7 is eligible for Amazon GlobalSaver shipping (more than USD125 and under 20lbs weight), then shipping it through Amazon should theoretically be free? Might take quite some time to reach SG though.

don't put ur hopes too high

Wait long long... there are already many items that are currently not eligible for free shipping despite fulfilling Amazon requirements.

And the fact that the Nexus 7 will no doubt cannibalize the sales for their Kindle tablets, I doubt Amazon will allow it to enjoy free shipping status.

u can't do that...you can't shipped electronics from amazon to singapore directly....you still need a forwarder...don't believe me, try to order some electronics and ship to your singapore address and try to checkout....it will not be allowed..

the reason is due to electronics needs more stringent certification from each countries....

Time to find a freighter you like..

Best Buy accepts international credit cards.

So probably going
Best Buy -> Comgateway

Any other alternative freighter you all recommend?

Yes and no lar. I've shipped a Logitech Harmony universal remote control via Amazon GlobalSaver before. No problem. Case by case basis. I just checked the current-gen N7, it's listed as "Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.". So likely the new N7 will adopt the same policy.

Cause Google don't like non-US billing address?

Google's store operate in a strictly US-only policy.

The manufacturer will normally take over the sales in other countries.

Google: Nexus 7
Networks-Optional 4G LTE
North America:
4G LTE: 700/750/850/1700/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/4/5/13/17)
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8/10)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Europe:
4G LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8/10)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Wikipedia: List of LTE networks
Operator Country Frequency(MHz) Band
M1 Singapore 1800 3
M1 Singapore 2600 7
SingTel Singapore 1800 3
SingTel Singapore 2600 7
StarHub Singapore 1800 3

Singapore LTE networks use bands 3 and 7; buying a 4G Nexus 7 from the US would mean you can't use LTE here (3G HSDPA will work fine however...).

Get from Amazon or Best Buy better if doing forwarding???

I dun think Amazon will allow N7 to be avail for global shipping, I am pretty sure.

 

[androidified]

I think most likely is Asus will not allow international shipping for Amazon, cause this will hurt Asus Singapore sales.

On a side note, can viber work for nexus 7 with those earpiece with mic?
