let me check with them again tml. too good to be true. $628 without contract is so much cheaper than other shops

2gb for internal storage. About 1.7gb.

1.97GB formatted for apps

For non telco phones, you should have 1.81GB of space for apps, almost 6 times the value of that of the arc

This sounds far too fishy to be true

The lowest price in the UK = 430 Euroes, which translates to a local cost of SG$713

Factor in import costs and bulk order, the other prices by the other shops sound more feasible

If you guys are forgoing local sets for cheaper prices, it's fine by me, but don't get conned no matter what you do

 

[adix_82]

Local set is 32gb and u guy know its using micro sim rite?

Confirm? Double confirm? Too many answers to be sure.

This price can buy without contract. If it sounds too good to be true, then it is.

Maybe they quoted you the price of arc s, non-contract.

 

[sotaikun]

pay 128 deposit, balance 628 = 756?

 

[ragnarok95]

Seems like outside are selling 700+ now for non contract??? This is cheaper than 6range!!!

 

[PongRareRare]

how much is 6range?

 

[ragnarok95]

how much is 6range?

800+ to 900+ ???

I dun get this.. so teleco set -> 1.97GB while non teleco set -> 1.81GB?
y the diff?

Bloatwares on telco sets, AKA telco apps, AKA apps most likely you wont like & wont use.

It should be the other way round, non telco sets more space.

No no, you got it wrong

For non telco sets, 1.81GB is left from the 1.97GB available space in the first place
For telco sets, it should be lower as part of it has been used as telco bloatware, probably 1.78GB out of 1.97GB left

Want a screenshot?

 

[Zeph_ng]

Root solution for Xperia S is out

This however, requires you to lose your local warranty

For those of you not getting them from Singtel, M1, Starhub or 6range, this shouldn't be a problem: Root XPS - xda-developers
