ZZZzzzz why need to guess ? just wait for the pricing , even if you give Rm1800~2000 , does it make a effect on real pricing ? nope , you are just comforting yourself and get disappointed eventually    .. and dont compare with clove.uk pricing , this tax thingy aint 100% accurate , sometimes cheaper sometime expensive due to other factors. 

Even i said so ! I also want to give my guess   refer to  Legend and Nexus one Malaysia SIS set pricing
GOOGLE NEXUS ONE RM2280
HTC LEGEND RM1950
N1 already cost Rm2280 , so do you think Desire will be Rm2290 ? nope ~~~~~ It will be a bit more expensive than N1 ,  my guess is at least Rm2.4k

I thought in future firmware update will? 

Its not local, so not too Szechuan i guess... this is a variation, there's another in Sheffield with Red Oil soup thingy this is just chilli on it

Its a nice sunny day out here today If low light then too dark

Afraid not if there is, then its so Terminator / Ultraman

Wow... yours is really hot looking!!! Mine is hot too!!

The price of HTC Desire in Singapore is a lot higher than N1 (online purchase price). A list below is for your gauge:

(All prices are from local licensed distributor, except for N1, of course)
N1 purchased from Google.com = SGD820 (approx.)
N1 purchased from local importers = SGD950 (|||=.=)
HTC Desire = SGD938
HTC HD2 = SGD919
HTC Legend = SGD798

Generally, I find that the above phones are cheaper in Singapore but the price scale is probably the same (someone wanna confirm this?).

Question:
I hear that Malaysian Android sets do not come with Android Market app. Will this be the same for the Desire?
If yes, I understand we can install the app by "rooting" the phone. Seriously, I got no bloody idea what is "root". Can someone briefly explain it here? And how/where can I get this "rooting" done? Cost involved?

Cool! Thanks for the info!

I am returning to Malaysia for good in July and I am thinking whether to buy the Desire in Malaysia or in Singapore. Main concern here is the warranty, followed by price. Local warranty is only valid in the country of purchase, you see.

I asked a sales guy in Singapore about the warranty. He said it is not that useful because if there's anything wrong with the phone, it will surface within the first 14 days of use. Thereafter, problems will usually only rise after warranty period is over. I know he is trying to psycho me into buying his phone (instead of buying in Msia), but what do you guys think?

i'm new in here...

i'm nob about smartfon...
just wanna ask for quick answer, this fon can do videocall..???

I know Davidmak trying to say original price will bring down the price of AP set , because original is not around yet . My English very poor , so you guys might think I misunderstood him    need to improve my English , haha

I guess have not use a smart phone before.
To prove to you that the desire can login to lyn and post. I am using my htc desire to reply you. ;-)

huh ? HTC make good quality  and blast with Android ... Do you know Android is growing fast ?? until Apple and Micrsoft get jealous . Now upcoming phone , most of them are come with android ~~~ and the specification of Desire is consider one of the best phone in the world , so I dont find anything that doesnt match the pricetag . Or you can just buy from clove.uk , just Rm1.7 k

i-phone 4g i guess 2011 only will arrive in m'sia n sell by telco...

so u all mean there is d possibilities desire will launch by digi with similar package of legend?
sorry..poor english+newbie here

the price is around 2300 - 2350 which is too high and not fair!!!!

coz its price is 100 to $150 (USA $) more than other countries!! that's why i said is very high!!! and since it is open source and the os is almost free so it should be much cheaper than HTC HD2 with the larger LCD and expensive OS!!!

well my bro is in sweden. supposed to be studying, but he's just touring europe (lucky b__tard ...)
thinking i could get him to buy 1. cause i dont want to deal with customs if i order direct.

Just to let U all know, clove.co.uk didnt provide any document for you to claim back yr VAT if U decided to send to UK/EU.

They stated very clearly in their FAQ:
"Can I get a tax redemption for use at airports?

As an online mail order company, operating in the UK we can NOT supply a VAT/Tax redemption form even if you can prove to us that your country of residence is outside the UK."

Without the VAT/Tax redemption form, there is no way U can claim back the 17.5%VAT even U are a genuine tourist.

Wait another 1-2 months HTC will launch another phone and the price of this phone is going to plunge, HTC always champion in new models. hehehe

I was actually refer to whatsayyou's plan to ask his bro to bring back from sweden with the assumption he purchase from clove.co.uk and ship to his bro.

But what U stated is correct. Clove.co.uk ship to non UK/EU will not have any VAT incur.
