The phone transitted in China before coming here. Reason given was cheaper to ship that way. I guess that's where the distribution hub is. The seller said he thought I'm Chinese so he asked the partner in China to flashed it to a custom Chinese ROM. The custom ROM is good in a sense that the navi bar is half the standard height so you get more display real estate. The battery percentage is also shown within the battery indicator itself, not separately. Unfortunately wireless storage wasn't working and of course all the Korean apps like DMB TV is gone.

The box is opened, and the phone serial number and IMEI doesn't match the box. Other than that everything else is in order. Phone feels new, display screen protector still on and all the plastic covers are there. Only thing missing was the manual. Seller said it's common for them to open the box to check whether the phone is working before shipping to Malaysia

Thanks for the valuable information. I was being told that the phone is cheaper to ship from China to Malaysia. Same with what shawnsean mention below.

The seller told me that the phone is being root because of the SMS settings (sth related to 80 font characters and 160 characters, therefore it's better to root and flash with custom rom). I wonder how come the manual went missing? I am quite sceptical after getting the information from you. Not sure if it's really worth getting the phone from these resellers. Any one mind to share more?

Anyone here can recommend me a seller that selling a 32gb korea model? Other than CubixShoppe and lumleenleong(who take forever to reply msg)?

I knw the korea model has removable battery and memory card slot, is there any advantage of the international set over the korea set?

simple . Ask him not 2 root for u . Especially Cubix Shoppe . His intention is good as unlike other phones , korean phones eg Vega , LG or even Samsung for korean market , even with root , u get OTA . However u lose your root once u update it .
AND , its not custom rom for chinese . It's just a patch flashed in on top of the stock rom for the language + bloatwares removal . However , most of the time their own bloatwares goes in eg Taobao apps , QQ chat app , etc . . .

Sadly to say, only both of them are selling 32gb korea model. International has a 3000mAH battery capacity.

DynamicG also got la , mana only 2 of them . leidragon ? Did anyone ask b4 ? He do sell korean phones but never deal with him b4 . If u anyone from JB , can go get from benny_hk from hardwarezone.sg

leidragon and lumheeleong are both partners for 8nergy. DynamicG seems less reliable as compared to Cubixshoppe and lumheeleong. Just my own perceptions though.

Bro, where did you get your set from? >.<

Everyone have their own perception of the sellers . I got my set from earth ^^

Lolz. True true. So secretive meh? Share share your experience mah. Sharing is caring, i believe it will benefit to us all.

Sharing = B1tching ......

Lolz. so sad.

I guess u bought urs from CubixShoppe? From what u mentioned in ur G2 selling thread if I was not mistaken..

U r referring to the white or the black ?

Edit - My bad , didnt get my G2 from him , only my Vega

check this seller, he offered a nice price for lg g2..

I think he just only put the phone into his selling list. It's a really good deal. Rm1999. damn it. Might just get from him >.<

His is international version D802 . Non removable battery + no memory slot

Looking at the price. It's 100 difference from the other seller. And probably a few hundred different from the korea version. Lolz.

just contacted sevenmobile and he is selling D802 at rm1999..anybody ever buy from this seller? thanks

I went to 1G over the weekend. Wahlao, it's like mobile phones are free. The main counter was crowded!

Anyway, the price for G2 is different from yours. It's the other way around. Black is more expensive than white.

Black RM2149 (RM50 higher)
White RM2099

root and custom ROM won't solve that SMS issue as i still faced that with the Chinese ROM. Basically anything over 160 characters will be sent as MMS. Simpler solution would be to use apps like GoSMSPro. BTW with the Custom ROM you can't get OTA anymore. There's no option in the phone to check for software update and LG PC Suite doesn't allow software upgrade, at least on that Chinese ROM that I had
