to be honest, i dont know. it probably isnt a forwarder service (the phone was shipped to an actual residential address in japan from Play Store JP). i could try to ask if anyone's interested..

benchmarking doesn't justify the device's capability now IMO. so many oem tweaks and hacks to make the benchmark results look better.

Yeah, I agree!

Some of the benchmark scores are disappointing!

Well, benchmarks are part of the SOP for reviews. so I have to do them. The more time consuming one will be the battery test (standard and real world usage).

Therefore, its going to take a few days for the review to be done. and not forgetting I have two more devices in the review line up. =X

Black or White?

Would like to gather some opinions from bros here on their preferences on the black or white model.

I understand that the black has a soft touch matte finish. How about the white?
Is it a glossy white back ?

Kindly advise for those who have the different colour models. Thanks loads.

Sidney, is the N5 going to be launched locally this dec? I am still comtemplating whether i should go get an export set now..but seeing Todayonline saying it may launch in Dec 2013 held my horses.
