Asus SG is a joke! Collection due on 18th of June has been delayed. Just receive an sms with rescheduled collection on the 28th of June instead. :s8:

Mine too... gonna give up on ZF5 and go of redmi 1S instead =:p

Whats worse, it seems like a last min decision informing customers just the day before. Its simply poor management on their part. I have definitely made the right call by not waiting for it. I've been using my ZF5 for more than a month already. :s8:

same here,provide free screen protector + $40 Valore voucher as compensation for the delay.

I don't even dare to buy Valore product, furthermore all Valore product can be found cheaply in taobao with a cheaper price

Not quite true. The hardware is the same, difference is in the software. U can use a china model and flash it with a TW or WW firmware. Vice versa as well. Care must be taken however during the flashing process to reset to factory default to prevent operation quirks from appearing thereafter.

Do share the process if you have then we can all pay lesser and buy from china instead of waiting some more and getting inferior hardware....like the leftovers from other places....

ASUS should give us an upgrade to 2GHz,16gb, 2G Ram instead of SP or the voucher.

Overseas on collection date so happy to see sms on delay! Just think the valore voucher is tie to some purchase may not be 'free'. In any case is low end OEM products price high by challenger.

nice thought, since both t00j [1.6] & t00f [2.0] passed through IDA database; but don't think they are so good :)

plus they are looking forward to t00p [lte snapdragon]

also no updates on zenfone 4 or zenfone 6 [also in IDA database already]

Doubt so. They already arranged to bring in batch with upgraded ram, likely that batch delayed shipment. Lowering of the price is also a no-no. The only way they can compensate is offer the SP and nego with Challenger for free vouchers.... which obviously didn't go well with many lol.
