will be written - output is 0.5A or 1A or 2A etc

Put thing in perspective..the Higher current (Ampere) rating ,the better it is..
Most phones come with protection, it wont keep sucking high current without limiting up to it own capacity.

By chance ,I bought one HTC labelled Car charger with 2A rating from China at $5 ..i dont expect it is really going to supply that amount of current(China stuff...i just expect functional and proof of concept), if it could provide 1.2A++ ,i will be more than happy.

but it surprised me...that charger could be used to charge Nexus 7...Nexus 7 is very notorious on charger type..most cheapo type wont work at all. Indeed, I could see faster charging on my Galaxy Nexus comparing to its original wall charger ,that proved that the Chicken brand charger could supply more current.

Google bundles the two phones into a single box. Dimension-wise can't remember, but it is quite small. I shipped via comgateway, I think about S$70 including shipping, GST and insurance.

If you sell it here for cost plus $20 for expenses, I'm sure you'll be able to sell it.

Thank you very much for the information.

My phone is in HK now! I think it should reach by tomorrow. The difference between express and standard shipping (by Comgateway) is only $3+, so I don't know why I didn't just pay more to get it by today. >_>

On another note, I'm buying an OEM "exact replica" Nexus 4 bumper and will bring in a few more to resell. I can't imagine using this fragile phone without one.

If interested, here's the link:

Just got mine today from a lady seller here. Been playing with it for almost 3 hours and i must say the stock android is very smooth. The only gripe i have is the fact that my network connection can never be on 3G but keep going to H.....

Yeah the smoothness is from Android's Project Butter. It is good to see that Android is finally focussing on the User Experience instead of just chasing specs (which is still a good thing).

i think if they can state 1A or 2A, they should be able to do so. no reason for them to state then do otherwise.
