A friend in Singapore has ordered N1 for me. Here's the order receipt from Google Phone Webstore:
Nexus One phone - $529.00
AC adapter - $19.99
DHL shipping - $28.32
Tax - $0.00
Total - $577.31
It's all in US dollars. Tax is zero because it's not going to any US state. I know Singapore imposes 7% GST on these purchases but I don't know where/when it's collected. Maybe it's handled by the courier? Anyway, I told my friend to expect the DHL guy to collect GST in cash or whatever. GST should be $40.41 which brings the total to $617.72. Another friend will bring it for me so I don't expect any further costs.
So hopefully my N1 will cost me no more than USD617.72 ( SGD859 / MYR2063 ).

he paid 577.31 USD for the phone, charger and delivery from US to Singapore
GST is 54.51 SGD and another 10 SGD for handling fee (running tax dept for us?)
by the way, the 54.51 SGD + 10 SGD is paid in cash when dhl reached your mailing address
