my "LOCAL TAKKYUBIN OFFICE" the status "Delivered" usually is the last one and courier delivers it to ur destination address..

urs isn't Delivered for "LOCAL TAKKYUBIN OFFICE" ?

Yes it is. I'm just curious what's that holding office.

Deliver to japan vPost address you mean? If that's the case, then probably it will be delivered by today, I guess?

I heard there are two types of versions.
One is 3.5G and another is LTE 4G.

Are both of them uses Micro SIM card?
Or is it LTE 4G uses Nano SIM card instead?

Only differences for US and ROTW sets is the LTE bands, all physical stuffs are the same

Hey guys, what's the number for calling Google office to check on your order? (I ordered from Jap Playstore) Call SG office or Jap office?

Mine still stuck on pending for 2 days and no confirmation email. Then got fellow forumers who ordered later than me and received their email Q__Q

Thanks a lot!

Email them can already, they will get back pretty fast.

I waited for 1day+ 2 day but got nothing as well, I email them and things starts going.

Insert a SIM card in your Nexus 5

Before you start using your phone, you may need to insert a micro SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” appears on the phone’s lock screen.

I was thinking to put "Let me google for you link" earlier...

Very interesting article talking about the bands support between D820 and D821. I certainly hope that Band 7 can be activated via custom firmware

As for band 7, support for it built into the hardware depends on what filter chip is used for the 2.6GHz band. If the chip has a switching mechanism to switch between TDD and FDD modes, then it would be possible to enable band 7 on the device. This would also be possible with the LG-D821 to enable band 38/41 support, since it supports band 7 already.

I wasn't expecting anything loh. Just see the tracking status and wonder what's that mean, it's my first time ordering overseas and using forwarder actually.

hi,

you can do your calculations.
340 pounds x 2 = S$680
Google shipping to UK = 5 pounds = S$10
UK shipping to SG = 26 pounds = S$52
Arrive at Changi = GST 7% = $680 x 7% = S$48

So total cost is already = S$790
Selling price = $815, you calculate the profits yourself after going thu all these hassles

Of course, if you can wait, I suggest that you wait for AUS units or Japan units which will arrive around 2 weeks later.

Or official LG release around 4 weeks later.

You could save around $70 bucks

the $52 shipping cost is probably the 4 devices shipped together? just asking

Hope someone get from you then.

I presume vPost works in this way, they accumulate all items to be shipped from Japan to Singapore for the current week and send it out the following Monday. They save on costs compared to shipping immediately. That's why for those who already paid to vPost this week see estimated delivery of Tuesday till Friday next week. So in other words, you pay the full shipping fees while they still save on shipping by sending in bulk. Just my assumption.

Nope, it is shipping cost per every unit.
I use 2 days fast delivery from UK to SG and secure insurance delivery.
