Juz got a red 2GB RAM 8GB ROM Zenfone 5 at Challenger Funan, 50% off SP for members. $39 for flip case.

there's also an Asus shop at Funan, selling at same price, but they got non official back casing at $19-29.

hi,

I got the phone on 11 June, contacted ASUS SG marketing, they will look into Bluetooth issue problem and they claimed they have updated the new warranty dates into their in house system. Will double check when I go collect the ZF5.

cheers!

I think I read that many in TW returned the phones after the the company sold same phones cheaper in China. Those need to go somewhere. http://en.ocworkbench.com/tech/asus-apologises-taiwanese-consumers-price-specification-differences-new-zenfone/

could be all sets with 1gb ram.



local sets in sg should be WW, dont flash the wrong firmware else your phone will become an useless brick.

Noted. That's why my initial message said I saw only CN SKU VERSION for latest fw and you gave me same link so thought maybe if you already did an upgrade somehow of you have a phone with CN sky. Thanks anyway. Will wait for OTA.

challenger only interested in getting customers to sign up for their stupid membership to sell their equally, if not more, stupid valore products.

Try Battery Doctor. Seems like my battery is more seasoned now and can last longer then when I got it last week.

ya and again they gave away the Valore vouchers, those products are kinda expensive and inferior quality
