Will the USA version work in Malaysia? My friend flies there quite often, so he can buy for me.

Noted thanks

Find something more productive to do then, not healthy to stare at a small 4.95in screen so long.

Good news is that Malaysian prices have dropped to rm1699, I think once LG officially brings them in the AP sets should be down to 1.3_1.4k price.

Can Hong Kong sets be used here? It costs approx rm1500 for 32gb. My friend works there and flies back next week.

You can ask their help if they are residing overseas to send it for warranty for you. I got a friend working in a Hong Kong airline co, so I normally ask him to order stuff for me if it is available in Hong Kong.

No stock most of them are pre order. How reliable is their warranty?

Just be careful not to drop it.
