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.

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.

I still prefer Nexus one.
Coz of lot of custom rom and kernel available.
With A2DP out from froyo, extra ram on Desire no longer a advantage point.
Any new OS update also, Nexus one will be the first to taste it.. Yum Yum..

I think Android OS hardly utilize the trackball/trackpad rite?
So this might not be a solid comparison point to choose between Nexus and Desire.
I might be wrong. Still newbie to Android OS

is not google that control the OS implementation on manufacturer's handset. It is manufacturer that had the say to implement latest OS into their line of product or not.
From the history, the pace for them to implement new OS will not be fast.

Added on May 15, 2010, 3:32 pmYour view might not be that "neutral" especially on the pricing. Coz U are phone seller. No offend taken ya?

My 2 cent is AP will drop below RM2k very soon due to HTC Singapore SRP is S$898 (Around RM2110). Some other mobile retailer in Sin are also selling Agent set below the SRP.
AP importer here are taking advance on the early adopter tht wan to get the phone fast.

I bet AP set price in MY will be more attractive in the coming 2-3 weeks.


Update: Seem like Singapore "export set" is selling S$700 (around 1650RM) now at 1 of the Sin online store.....this look interesting . But bear in mind export set dun have warranty even from that online shop

Yes. realy ugly...we da consumers will benefit in the end.

Yes. Android OS upgrade is free. BUT, it depend on the manufacturer to launch it version of upgrade ROM.

HTC are famous for taking loooong lead time to upgrade Android OS. Best example is HTC HERO OS2.1 upgrade.

Froyo + Sense UI took another few more months ...hehehe..

Froyo (2.2) + Flash 10.1 beta on Nexus beat the crap out of Desire Eclair 2.1 + Flash lite

That is the reason.

U should not bank into shop that had unknown sale track record.
At least, try find reputable forumer or friend to COD for U.

Glad U come back to yr senses.
I at Melaka. Brought a lot of things here. Mostly from KL. For expensive items, normally I will ask friends to COD for me and post to me later.

If I cant find someone to COD even it is a very good deal. I will not buy it. Dun want to regret later if bad thing happen.
