Export sets are purchased by shops from suppliers who don't get their goods from Samsung Singapore. Goods are still manufactured by Samsung and still subject to their quality control etc so I don't think u can say quality will suffer.

If buying a 800 dollar phone why not pay That hundred more for a peace of mind?

If you like to buy cases. Just don't buy any case instead and pay for the warranty. I think it is worth it having the warranty if anything goes wrong.

But if you garang and go ahead buy export set, wish you luck! Haha

TS, i suggest u get a local set. higher resell value also. if u get an export set for let say $150 lesser, and 2 years down the road, u wanna sell, im sure your local set will worth more than $150 more than the export set, given that local set has 4G, which most people would want at that time.

It's harder to sell export sets... and shops are reluctant to take in export sets also.

most of all...enjoy your set first, why worry abt 1-2 years problem unless he can wait...if not the price between export and local set. diff by 150-180. but of cos if price doesnt really matter den surely will go for local set.

If use more than a year then no diff in resale price cos no warranty for either case. For me I change quite often so getting a local set makes more sense cos easier to sell off.

telco probably take but telco trade in price very pathetic and u need to buy a phone with contract from them. ..they dont just buy ur phone.

Most dealers will mark down some more for export sets, if they do take in.

Telco don't check. Last time I traded in a nearly junked e52 nokia. They looked at the phone. Tried to switch on. Press a few buttons. Then put in a plastic bag and threw it one side. Lol.
