If your cousin cmg back next week he have to hunt for sim free stock now. There will be big shipment on Monday in UK for second batch. To claim VAT ask you cousin to fill up VAT form from the shop, bring his passport as well. Then claim it at London Heathrow airport (nt sure other london airport provide VAT refund as my place (Birmingham airport) doesnt offer VAT refund service.) And ask him to take out the phone from the box if he is bringing back more than 4 so custom wont be suspicious.  smile.gif

AFAIK VAT claim needs the person leave Europe 1 year? hmm.gif

(b) Non-EC residents studying or working in the UK or EC residents may also qualify to use the scheme if they intend to permanently leave the EC for a minimum period of 12 months. To qualify under this provision you must:

intend to leave the UK with the goods by the last day of the third month following that in which the goods were purchased for an immediate destination outside the EC; and
remain outside the EC for a period of at least 12 months; and
export the goods having produced them, their receipts and the VAT refund document to Customs at the point of departure from the EC.
I think because of my table lamp light (yellow light). Will take more later.  smile.gif

Yup done it in Paris but I lie.  laugh.gif
In Paris you can claim in certain shopping mall on the spot (cash) but you have to leave EU in 2weeks time (to get cash on the spot) and he told me if I'm still staying in EU for longer period I have to claim within 3months. They will give you an envelop for custom stamp and post it back from your home country (msia).

But ringtones and wallpapers are subjective and most of us do not use built in ringtones/wallpaper anyway so what's the big deal? those reasons are pretty weak to be used as a cons for the phone. i think you are just unhappy because u overpaid for the phone which is supposed to be only in the 2.3-2.4k range.

Pardon me if my opinion may hurt you. Since you're coming from Iphone to Android, IMHO, HTC is the best for you. And when you're in Android zone... only hardcore aka gadget freaks change phone frequently. Normal user usually stick with what they have.

It is not SGS2 rushed to the market but I think it's you coz you only used your IS for a month (correct me if I'm wrong). And the price we paid for today is the early adopter price. It should settle out at 2.3 - 2.6 region in the next couple of months.

What I like about this phone is not out of box experience, but the customization it will provides later...
