Thanks again for your advise. So back to square one, meaning I ve to ask my relative in Spore to purchase it online and send to their Spore residence, and forget about the gst stuff,right?

when a buy-sell deal is not involving earning/profit, that is what we called charity, not business

There are forumers who got them delivered over weekends. Anyways during the order process if I recall correctly you can put a note when to have it delivered.

I'm very sorry to inform you that it's not possible to specify the time and date you wish to delivered.

Courier company will deliver to you, as soon as possible, if you are not available, they will re-attemp to deliver..

Bro, personally, considering u on 3G all the time, i think its already quite good that ur battery still have 30% at night.
You said "battery life still not satisfy".. well.. of coz it wouldnt satisfy anyone. if it was me, id want it to last the whole week without charging. that's my definition of satisfaction.

u have to know the power of the device. it's a smartphone bro. and if its an iPhone 4.. it's a VERY smart-a$$-phone!

The first few days of using it, i swithc on 3G 24/7 (but when im at home i switch on wifi), unplug my iPhone 4 from charger at 6.30 AM, browse on safari about an hour plus, take about 10 to 15 shots of photo, show off the brilliantness and clearness and the WoWness of my photos on retina display to my friends, about an hour of call, roughly about 30-40 smses to my gf, push notification on for pingchat, yahoo messenger, and google mobile app.. and by 8pm battery left 20%...

BUT! yesterday, i found a new trick.
my pattern of usage is about the same, BUT, i switch off 3G (meaning i use EDGE).. and by 8pm battery still had 50% juice!

So, ya, i'd recommend u to do that. Because i feel that for push notifications (google app, pingchat, yahoo), i don't need to be on 3G. The information wil still be pushed to u, but, at slightly slower speed la. If ur outside and u wanna browse, then u can quickly go into the menu and switch on 3G. And if ur at home and u have wifi, switch on wifi

hope u may find my suggestion useful

The delivery company will attempt at least two~three times before they will leave a note for your friend to collect the unit at the nearest collection center. Your friend can call them after the first attempt to specify the best delivery time for the second attempt. I've done this in Malaysia and it should be standard procedure for professional courier companies like DHL, UPS, etc.

Just make sure your friend is aware of your tracking number and he is informed when the first delivery failed when he is not in. You can check this with the tracking number provided when your shipment is sent, not sure if apple provides one as my order is done by a relative in Singapore under their account.

guys, do you notice that a 16GB iphone4 actually showed it only has capacity of jst around 14GB? I've check using itunes and also via "general--->about" in the phone itself...only 16GB

i expect the capacity will be 15.6GB like tat given 1GB = 1024MB....anyone seeing the same capacity as i do for a 16GB iphone4?

Same here....

This is what i see from Apple Singapore online store, maybe can help you
•Items will be delivered between 9 am and 6 pm to business addresses and 9 am and 9 pm to residential addresses

hmm still better than buying outright in malaysia i guess.
