Who knows. What I realized is that LG Mobile Singapore have been kicking the ball to the telcos, they have responded some nexus 4 related posts with this "availability of the Nexus 4 in Singapore will be announced by the telcos at the appropriate time. Thank you."
They are hinting that they won't be selling it in their store instead only the telcos will be selling either with plan or without.

I'm afraid that the same goes to LG Malaysia.

Anyway I ordered mine from Play Store, still waiting for the bumper case.
Does anyone know will I be taxed if both the nexus 4 and bumper case come in the same shipment?

Thx. I know it has to get sirim approval and smartphone is not taxable but my question is what if customs detain the shipment saying that the bumper case is taxable end up the whole shipment is taxable? Could this happen?

USD363(local shipping included)+45(Comgateway)+RM100 (Sirim)
RM1350?

Hi Philip, may ask is ur card's billing address the same as the comgateway address?

Still getting account suspension even having the card's billing address changed to US? How's that, I thought this will work. I'm worry.

My acc is still not affected, just that I'm worried like you said when google starts to verify when they are ready to ship.
I think I wont be able to recover the acc if got suspended, cause I just changed the billing address to US address recently just to purchase the nexus 4. I only have online statement and even if I have paper statement they will be all in M'sia address. sigh.

One of the serious downsides of Nexus 4 I found is the lack of USB OTG function, first I feel ok to hear that it doesn't have memory card slot, a USB OTG cable less than RM3 will solve this pretty easily, just use a USB storage instead.
Then users reported the function doesn't work, none of them work even keyboard and mice, many believed that it could be solved with a software update because on the user guide page 43 of nexus 4 clearly stated that function is there.
There was hope, and now google took it away, read article below:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/07/nexus...-never-have-it/

I can't believe they left out this basic and important function, purposely?

Just hope that's not a hardware problem.

Added on December 9, 2012, 8:25 pmIt seems like there is something to do with both hardware and software.

Google edited the online support yesterday, stating that no usb otg will work:
http://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer...09758&ctx=topic
If you want to control over mice & keyboard, get the one with bluetooth connection.

Why?
[Hardware] because the device cannot supply 5 volts to USB.
"Mako cannot supply 5V" (Mako is the other name of N4) > https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge...24df4%5E%21/#F0

[Software] kernel was disabled because of that.


Solutions:
1) get a wi-drive (Kingston wi-drive)(Cost more and drain battery even faster on phone and the drive)
2) return to google and get full refund. **Yes you can get full refund, because it was advertised to be having the function, google's fault.

in theory, there's a third solution, but no one has tried and confirmed about that:
3) wait for devs to come out a custom kernel to work it out [software], you will still need to power up the USB flash drive with a external power source [hardware]
What do you need?
- a microUSB Y cable (male-female)
- a external power source (e.g portable charger)


MicroUSB Y cable (male-female)

Anyone knows what's the average file size of a complete photosphere?

Latest update from LG Singapore:

"Dear XXX, we are working on the official arrangement for NEXUS 4 warranty and servicing. We seek your kind understanding and patience. Thank You."

Hi Jimmy, wanna join mine? So we can save forwarding fee and sirim, I'm using comgateway.

yea same here, for that price, a lil flaw is totally fine for a nexus.
I doubt that LG will sell it below RM1500 and they probably let telcos to launch it instead.

I'll just place the order at play store 1st, by the time LG launching I will still have a choice whether to cancel the order or not since google ships it in 6-7 weeks. The only concern of that would be warranty issue.

Guess ppl in HK are ordering fr play store as well, RM1200 or RM1750, the choice is obvious.

Still waiting for ppl to share shipping and sirim cost with me.

Phone $349
US local shipping $15 approximately
Comgateway $45 approximately
Sirim RM100

Assuming that's 2kg, i mean 3 units, should be less than that.
Have not used them before, anyone who brought in mind telling us how much is the forwarding costs?

No, I use maybank visa. Changed the billing address to US based.

Seriously that bad?

Would there be an issue if I use a M'sia issued card with US billing address?

Oh how much would you sell it?

Tried lowyat? Or u may DIY > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10LgZFIawo

note that some has tried and reported it didn't work, probably need a custom kernel.
read comment 57 > http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/de...087#makechanges

It was disabled by google since N4 cannot supply 5v, so we need some dev to enable it.
This usb hub should work provided it supplies 5v.


LG Sg once said they accept but the comment was removed and now they said they're working on it
