Hi guys, can anyone share their total cost buying the 16gb nexus 4?
From sgd conversion, shipping, gst cost?

Thanks a lot! :)

Phone = US$349
Shipping US = US$13.90
Shipping to SG (Including custom tax & insurance) = SGD$66.50

Conversion from USD to SGD : 1.22 (on 28 Dec'12)

Total: SGD$510. (16GB + vPost)

yeah Jan. Just concerned as people are reporting 13 Jan ship dates while my status is still pending only haha.

Btw is it true that the effective usable space u get on the 8gb version is only 5.5gb? Ordered the 8gb version in the hopes of not having to pay gst but 5.5gb is really very little storage space even if u stream music from the cloud.

Hi, how much is the cost for the phone? I just made pre-order booking for an 8gig including shipping to hopshopgo.com is US312.99

US$312.99 X 1.27 = S$397.50

Shipping to singapore = S$??? (estimate if US$25.00 X 1.27 = S$31.75)

Wonder how much it cost to ship to singapore?

Total: S$397.50 + S$31.75 = S$429.25

Grand total(w/GST): S$429.25 X 1.07 = S$459.30 estimate cost for an 8 gig nexus 4.

i wonder if changing my billing ad would help :(

they say You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has shipped.

HOPE THIS WORKS!

How are you guys circumventing the credit card issue?

bought 2 nexus 7 from google play using local debit card. latest purchase was in december. so assuming google did not suddenly become on the ball, local debit card should have no problem.

However, do note it still carries some risk, so it all depends on whether u want to try anot.
