actually can buy the HP touchpad now in any of the retail stores there?

but my concern will be the warranty policy (would there still be any), as well as the US socket adaptor being different from Sg's.

any thoughts?

No problem tethering thru Android or iPhone. Tested meh. But there is no setup of wireless@sgx. Need to connect manually thru wireless@sg.

I got the touchpad case as well, only thing remaining is the screen protector. Reason for asking is So many choices, sometimes dunno the extra price justify the quality or not.
If anybody have any cheap and good brand recommendation, do tell me. :)

yeah, 249 usd. Already prepare myself to cry when Comex get better price.

If including shipping, price quite decent. Was monitoring for a few days a lot close over US$300 including shipping for the 32GB model.

Yes,the 249 include free shipping to borderlinx. Still don't know how much borderlinx will charge for the shipping to SG. Hopefully not exceed 30 usd.

drop a note to the ebay seller, tell him if their touchpad already comes with the protective brown carton box, then no need to use another bigger box for shipping, at most slip it into an envelope, or juz paste the shipping label direct onto the carton box and ship.

the above will def help u bring down the shipping charges when it reaches borderlinx, irregardless, if they dun ship in an oversize box, your borderlinx fee wont be more than 30usd from personal experience, dun worry :)

also, dun worry abt comex too, even if (most prob) the price is lower (wont be lower than 188sgd for 32GB standalone anyhow), there will be long queues, mad rushes and human traffic jams, just take it that u pay a slight premium to get it faster and avoid all the troubles :)

now that dusts have settled on your side, just sit back, relax and enjoy your touchpad when it arrives in spore :s12:

Do you use the latest Citibank promo? click it ship it? I played the game yesterday and supposedly get the 8$ discount. Still haven't received the code on the sms. Maybe because of the weekend.
They mentioned the redemption of coupon might need 5 working days or something. I guess not everything is computerized, some manual labor is still required. :D
