2.3k to 2.6k

talking about multitasking regarding this phone.
I really wish it had power to allow me to stream like 8 tabs of hd videos, all together while surfing other pages.

Performance aside, why would you want to stream 8 tabs of HD videos at the same time? Do u have 8 pairs of eyes to watch all 8 videos at the same time? lol. People don't even normally do that on PC. Heck, i don't even stream more than 2 videos at once. Even if the processor can handle it, i doubt your internet speed is going to be able to handle it. tongue.gif

Haha who want to buy thru Clove through me? Im in singapore now, at most i will only eat 7% GST, pay at doorstep when DHL send to me. Then when i go back KL i can COD with u people in KL/Selangor/JB area lo. Will charge some service fee la, at least no SIRIM + other tax bullshit. 7% of 440 about RM150 only.

see the website loh....

440 + shipping.

Shipping is 29 pounds for first phone, add 4 pounds for subsequent number of phones. So the more people buy in 1 go, the cheaper the shipping become!


Assuming only buy 1 phone, 469 pounds total.

1. If go thru Malaysia custom have to add SIRIM + Other shit tax probably RM300 and time consuming.

2. If go thru me, Singapore custom only charge 7% of total price which is about 30 pounds = RM 150.


Edit - Maybe i should start a small bulk of like 5 phones from clove. I charge maybe RM 50 service fee per phone la. How does it sound? tongue.gif

For those who are worried about when i'm going back KL, don't worry, i will be able to go back anytime, at most within 1 week after receiving the phones biggrin.gif

Clove uk will only send to address which must be same as your credit card address. If first time transact you have to email them either bank statement or id or utility bill showing your name same as delivery address. This is their secority controls. Check their terms n conditions of delivery at website
*
I have personally bought 3 units of Desire HD from Clove before last time, the credit card is my own, my singapore address, so there won't be any problem with the address verification, if they want proof, i have everything ready also. As of now, i already e-mailed them to ask if i can get additional discount or at least some freebies if i buy in bulk.

@Oldkyoo, assuming i can gather at least 5 people to buy. The cost per unit will be as following.

£440 + £9 shipping = £449 (The £9 is derived over a total shipping of £45 for 5 phones, so 1 person pay £9 only)
At singapore, 7% GST will be charged. Which is 1.07x 449 = £481

So the cost to reach Singapore is £481 = RM 2500 (@5.2 exchange rate)
i charge RM50 fee per phone (can COD at Cyber/Selangor/KL/JB). So the total price you need to pay is RM2550 roughly.

As for the time you can get the phone, i can assure you u can get it within 1week after it reach singapore. (not after release, i don't know how long will DHL take to ship from UK to Singapore but i am positive there wont be any sort of custom hold up)

QUOTE(oldKyoo @ Feb 22 2011, 02:55 PM)
hmm, okies, so how much do I have to pay as deposit???
*
That's the only problem, i might need quite a lot of deposit because i might not have enough funds to place full order, maybe 50% or something along the line, I think RM1k is the minimum in this case. If people are serious, i will start a bulk thread with a proper T&C in it.

For the peace of everybody's mind, I will be collaborating this bulk with my brother who is a big reputable seller here in forum. His name is a13solut3, and his profile and his sales can be found here :

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showuser=102288

Please PM me whoever who is interested to joint his bulk, once i collected at least 5 people, i will start a proper bulk thread.

Bottom line for those who want to join, the price you are expected to pay is about RM2550 per phone and can be collected in (Cyber/KL/Selangor/JB/Singapore) roughly 1 week after the phone arrive at my house. Postage is available upon request but i highly not recommend it because the item is not cheap (unless it's absolutely necessary, like if you stay outside the COD area).

Detailed calculation of the price is here :

The deposit will be at least RM1000. (not finalized yet)

Thanks!

but sending it thru sg is safer la , since the custom there dont wallap the phone for own use =)

anyways gzero do you have an estimated time when clove will have it in stock and ship it out? really interested in joining the bulk~!
*
Nope, no estimate, clove said Q2 so that's the best that we know, probably april or may, i won't be too optimistic.

anyway just an update, i have received an email from clove, they said that :

1. We can get additional discount if we buy in bulk but they did not state how much. So i'll e-mail them again to ask after i have the exact number.
2. The pre-order price is not finalized but will be close to the current estimate, in the event of price changes (i.e: price increase) last minute, we will be given a choice again to confirm whether or not to pay for the new price. So it will be safe.

I just recieved this email from Clove
ARGH !!!! Price increased by another £50 ( approx RM  245 ) and delivery change to end March ; worse price still can change further !!
Dear Mr LEE,

You recently placed a pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100, we thank you for this.

We contact you today with some important news that we have just received, which we know you will want to hear:

1. The price of the 16GB model has been increased, therefore we can not supply at the previously advertised price.  The new price is now £510 plus shipping and VAT per unit for the 16GB model.

More information: http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-16gb

2. The first stock of Galaxy S II is now due to arrive ahead of schedule.  We expect the first stock to be available for shipping in late March.

3. We do now have listed on our site the 32GB model at £590 plus shipping and VAT per unit.

More information: http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-32gb

At this revised price, I'd think it will be close to retail price in Msia. Thinking of canceling the order and await local release as it is now no longer cheap
However I noted the revised offer price to me is the official price excluding shipping. Probably I have sent in my order earlier, they now do not charge me shipping costs
*
Its not £50 increase. It's £70 (RM350) increase over the previous price lol. I think i can cancel my bulk as well, since i'm sure everybody will rather wait for local set if this is the case.

What do u guys say?

"He" is in another forum with vkeong and gang. my close friend for the past 20 years. Buntutman has more prototypes than i do and he's better at reviewing gadgetry than i am. I'm the better writer and i am expecting my first child which is coming out from my body. That is not something a male can perform.
