Does anyone know if it's due to my card or comgateway's address?

No news on mine yet, but I only ordered on 23rd August, maybe not yet my turn.

prob detected by SG IP address or SG-tied google a/c.

I do have someone in the US who can help me order, but then shipping might be hard also if they don't accept comgateway.

Might have to just use buyforme sigh

But you can't even access the product page using SG IP. I need to use US VPN before I can even see the product to place order.

They probably just have a blacklist of addresses or they detect via numbers in your name lol

Reminds me of the time when I had to use a BuyForMe service to buy a Nexus 5 from Google Store Japan......

Maybe can wait to see if Amazon will be selling Pixel 5a. I think you can ship to a forwarder if you buy from Amazon.

5g is enable by google..working with local carriers . Somehow in Pixel 5 case some countries that are not in the release list also managed to get 5g enabled. maybe just Sg market share not big enough for them to make an effort on.

Oh so the 5g is enabled by Google itself, not telco. Interesting... So Google is so lazy to enable their phone to use 5g worldwide, v smelly leh

Boh koh leng ( impossible )

Lol ya don't underestimate s21fe, the predecessor was ard 1.2k+ at launch price if not wrong. Its still a v ex phone tho it's not flagship tier

That's actually what I meant. It will most definitely cost most than Pixel 5
S20FE only recently dropped below 800 sgd to clear old stock due to S21FE incoming.
It's actually a very attractive price especially now that Samsung has longer software support.

waiting for Pixel 5 to drop prices, any possibility?

Lol yes, I'm adding to your point heh. But hor, I'm still not convinced s20fe ghost touch is 100% resolved bc I clearly rmb it was a hw issue. Let's see s21fe any hardware issues

It's a pity pixel 5a isn't launch here officially haiz. Shall wait for the rest here to share their reviews. I feel this phone is really buay pai (for me), except the video recording shutting down after 5min+ which not sure if Google can fix that

Ya no sell, no support

but surprisingly Xperia 10 III not sold by telcos managed to connect to 5G signal (as seen in the Xperia thread).

If it's not officially sold in sg, cannot be connected to 5g

Sony are official sold in singapore. google does not with the 5g models.

That is... if there's any stock left since it's effectively discontinued and sold out almost every available market

2nd hand is your best bet now, the price would probably drop when the Pixel 6 is out.. P4/4XL price basically free fall within a year I'm surprised there are seller on carousell still trying to sell brand new import at 1k today

This is very common for USA because of fraud and scam cases.
Many will maintain a blacklist of forwarding companies addresses.
