May be slightly higher wor....in Singapore some dealers have posted prices that are higher than HD2 something like SGD30-40 more.

I was hoping between the price point of Legend and HD2 (yes, its a big gap). HD2's retail price is RM2699 now? So RM2499/2599 is right on track right? Damn these toys are expensive.

So much for HTC going on to say that the price for Desire would be something buyers happy about.

Windows Mobile OS license is expensive but not like Android..
so MAYBE will be lower

+1
Android is Open Source!!!

I want to ask, let say if I ask my friend from UK buy this phone for me, can it be use in Malaysia?

Will he be checked by custom when he arrive in/depart from airport?

However, if I buy in UK, the VAT is applicable right?

Desire is now rooted already

it can use at malaysia. if u scared of custom,just take out the phone from the box but i think is ok if you just buy 1 set

not sure about VAT but it is not applicable

If he is traveling or coming back by air, I don't see a problem. He'll be able to walk through the custom clearance section like any other traveler. Its not like they would run a check on everyone. If they picked him and found the package, just say its yours and you're bringing it back. Make sure receipt is available to proof that the item belongs to him.

As a tourist leaving the last airport in the UK, you should be entitled to a VAT refund (subjected to their limitations). You need to proof that you're a tourist, with a certain amount of VAT accumulated, etc... If your friend is a PR, on student visa, or on job permit, I think VAT restrictions apply.

the price of htc desire will be at rm2290..

where did you get the pricing from?

Ya where did the pricing come from?....RM2290 sounds reasonable...

Tell me which shop selling please, i want to buy now..

im just taking a guess..
lets take a guess ramai2...
and see who won...
LOL...

(crazy mode because waiting for the desire : ON)

I guess RM2499!

RM2200

RM2599 lo

waaa...
u guys really think will be that expensive meh...
(either way, im getting one too... i dun care)

RM2299 looks reasonable. This is because if we take the price from clove.co.uk + shipping will total RM1760 (exchange rate 4.95 from BNM website). Then add 30% import tax equals RM2278.

My guess only...

Agreed but I still don't get why we still need to impose the tax (besides the obvious $$$ to the Govt)....isn't the Govt. pushing for adoption of tech?

POLL? ROFLMAO
