Bring Singapore dollars or credit card
You can buy from any retail except telco where you need sign a plan

I think you are ranting about some incorrect stuffs though obviously you believe strongly in it

So far overseas pricing is not cheap
Germany/Italy Euro650 (RM 2614), UK £530 ( RM 2543)
Msian pricing usually 10% lower than Uk so expect around RM 2200-2300

I don't mind paying rm2.2k for it as price range similar to note2. My last Sony was Xperia Arc , a big dissapointment. Even HTC Incredible S floors it in most dept. Hope this Z model will be much better n it seems so based on all reviews to date

Yes it comes with many extra accessories not found in sets sold later on. I bought it on day one it was launched

RM 5 . You can request to waive it if you are long time customer

Yes it is safe
Just hope not hold by customs . If kena you need apply sirim permit rm100. There is no other tax on phones

Mine was delivered directly to me - not even open by customs
But some users in Galaxy S2 thread kena custom open
Depend on luck
DHL I was told you need to pay them service fee about RM 200+ . Not worth it. If is posted out using non DHL, it will be landed at Poslaju and Poslaju can help you settle for only RM 49+
Anyway this is the procedure ( personal experience)
Go to nearest Sirim center with DHL arrival notice, your purchase PO ( or email confirmation of purchase), printout of phone specs ( from web will do) , fill up 2 forms and pay RM 100 . RM 100 can allow import of up to 3 phones. You will get the Sirim permit within an hour
Send this permit back to DHL and they will clear out phone for you

Any phone just choose mobile version at bottom of this page

He is comparing with his Xperia Arc which smoothness definitely loses out to iphone 5. I have used the Arc before and I ranked it the second worst Android phone I have used after Galaxy S
However iphone 5 cannot match Note 2 and Nexus 4 browsing smoothness and I believed the Xperia Z will trounced it too with its better software/OS besides its bigger display

It is not even available for sale officially in any country yet. All rumours point to Feb/March availability only in Europe first

I thought you have already placed order with Clove UK ? Their ETA is 1 March . Attractive option is their free wireless speaker worth about RM 315
Price wise inclusive courier should be around RM 2.3K and add in at worst another RM 100 for Sirim permit if holdup at customs
Ordering from Clove UK you can cancell anytime if you find their actual date is later than stated. Clove will always email you to reconfirm it and they will continually update you the delivery status. Your credit card will not be charge until you confirm acceptance the delivery date

There is absolutely NO duties/tax on mobile phones. If custom want to charge you ask them proof to you from their custom taxbook. Any extra money you want to pay is from courier themselves besides the Sirim permit RM 100
The last time I brought in my Nexus 7 ( wifi only) the customs wants me to pay 10% tax and they proof to me this tax is applicable showing me the taxbook guideline . Same time I ask them about mobile phones and they is no such tax or duty except Sirim permit RM 100

DHL courier charges is already included in Clove ex retail price. You need not pay a single sen more
Your additional costs will be your transport/inconvenience costs + RM 100 going to Sirim to apply for the permit
Or just pay about RM200+ to DHL to do these on your behalf !!

Galaxy S4 all still rumours, nothing concrete. I dont think it will even come out for sale in April !!

There is Sirim center at Ipoh too

Just sent your Sirim certificate over to DHL wherever the location it is. DHL will inform you where to sent. I will never pay another rm200 to them just to have it done when I can do it myself

Yes unless their service charge has now reduced to only rm100

Right - if April, one might have more choices to consider
