I was reading up on this a few days ago and from what I understand, there are 2 issues with bringing in Mobile Phones into MY due to it being a controlled item. I have no idea why it is a controlled item, but nevermind that.

Basically, you first need to get the AP for non-business which will cost you RM 200 and some form filling. This will allow you to bring in up to a maximum of 3 items. Then, the tax is 10% of the declared price, which in this case, should be ~RM 176 (assuming the AUD conversion to RM is ~1,760).

So all in all, the govt will take ~RM 400 if you purchase and bring in this phone, and will amount to slightly less than RM 2,100.

Bear in mind, I have not gone through this process yet so take what I've said with a pinch of salt. It's just what I've gathered from reading similar cases on overseas mailed ebay items.

Those of you that have ordered from clove, share with us your experience when you get the phone maybe?

is it possible for nexus one to be released in msia??? mostly ppl get nexus one from US....

as i know,
android phone do not need to pay expensive license fee,
am i right?
if yes,
why android cant cheaper than winmo phone?

1. Winmo's license fee aren't that expensive.
2. Android is harder to develop means there are more work to be done with it, therefore the R&D is passed to you.

when i compare the price with pc license,
i thought winmo's license are very expensive one.

but why Acer can manufacture an android phone below RM2k?

look at acer laptop vs dell or hp. Acer is always the cheapest.

ya lor... acer laptop is quite cheap,
we even can get a Acer dual sim 3g phone at the price of RM1899..

guys...would like to ask...if i buy the htc desire in uk, will it cheaper than m'sia??? and is there any pros n cons if i buy it in uk??

i think will be cheaper
cons is u wont get warranty from malaysia??but i heard it is international warranty

correct me if im wrong

With htc desire, will android market be available?

I hope so. Since the Motorola Milestone (M'sian edition) comes with it already (that's what I heard). Guess we won't find out until we get it officially in stores here.

Woohoo~~ on sale for AP @ 2080.. fastr grab this baby back..

i just wondering y is it called as AP set?

i think its not distributed by SIS Msia...
wonder how about the warranty...

Fantastic news! I believe AP warranty on applicable by going through their shop and not through HTC Malaysia. Correct me if I am wrong.
