Got my friend to bring back a 32Gb black from Australia. Shipping is in 4-5 weeks, with a $AUD20 shipping fee. Total is about $AUD469, about RM 1,400. She'll only be back on 1st Jan, damn, such a long wait.

Anyone knows how to get the GST refund at the australian airport? That will save me about RM 125.

Sorry to post it here but just believe G2 deserves some justice..

I'm getting my n5 tomorrow. Yippie

I just saying based on the log of my parcel. May not get it on time.

Hmm.. what's this 9.1% tax about?

just ask my friend order 2 set from Australia, cant wait to get it!!!!

My receipt only show Leaves warehouse in 2 - 3 weeks. I dont know. Well not big deal for me also cause my friend back KL on January. Even though arrive early I also cant get it. haha.

From the link you quoted.

Here's my own research about getting GST refund on Australian set. My friend will process it for me when she's coming back late December. All information is extracted from here:

Google Asia Pacific, despite operating in Singapore (and have their warehouses in HK), is registered to ABN. Registration to ABN means they are charging you GST under Australian laws. For that, as a tourist, you have the right to claim GST under the TRS scheme.

Despite the clear clause of "good purchased over the internet and imported into Australia", it does not seem to apply for Australian Google Play devices because you are still charged the Australian GST, which you have the right to claim refund of. The clause is to prevent claim from purchases made without GST being charged, say buying something off ebay from US.

Here's what you need to do (and what I will ask my friend to do):
1. Request a tax invoice from Google. My friend got it by getting in touch by Google with this link (https://support.google.com/googleplay/contact/us_tax_exempt) (doesn't matter if information seems applicable to US). Some guy should reply you and tell you bull shit about eligibility of tax refund. What we need to do here is to get tax invoice, not requesting refund directly from Google. Send in the email in the form like:

Usually you should get the tax invoice in email in 24 hours based on my friend and the whirlpool discussion.
Your tax invoice should look something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7u7hepag758u34d/n5-tax-invoice.png

2. Print the tax invoice out, preferably on a colour printer. On the whirlpool thread, there are people who got rejected the refund on the basis that the self-printed tax invoice is not an "original copy" of tax invoice. So, when you print it out, and got challenged if it's mailed directly from Google, answer "Yes!". I doubt the TRS staff will have ways to prove otherwise it's not from Google directly. (If you request a hardcopy, Google probably also prints out using the same file anyway, isn't it?)

3. Bring the phone with you. You need to show the good to the TRS staff. It needs not be sealed in box as far as I am concerned. You probably have some paperwork to fill, but you should be good to get the refund.

Proof: In the whirlpool thread, a post on 15 Nov 2013 by user Jayau has successfully claimed the refund. Receipt: https://db.tt/LVOlYVoV

All these are from the whirlpool thread and credits to all of the forumers there. You can read them yourself and you are likely to find the same info as me. I can't say mine is the definitive guide until my friend tried it out. Maybe someone can test it out first. So far as I see, it should be fine.

I know, I guess we can hope for the day where amoleds get as efficient as lcds

More on the screen: I hope Google fixes the auto brightness
The screen has a very wide range of brightness, but auto brightbess only adjusts in a very narrow range, and its worse that it adjusts too bright for almost every situation, this ends up killing the battery

Come on FedEx, pick it up!!!! 

So how are you finding your new phone?
I hope mine is a flawless phone. Don't want to deal with the RMA process overseas.

My girlfriend is staying in Melbourne at her aunt's place.
So I sent her the money via PayPal and got her to order the phone on my behalf.
She'll only be coming back on Dec 27... SO LOOOOONG, MY NEXUS!

I really wish it comes with no defects whatsoever 'cause she's a total newb when it comes to handling all the crap that comes with the RMA process and neither do I want to trouble her.

but neo hybrid looks like gonna make the phone quite bulky..  any other nice cases around?

why no one care me, i is sad

how la, how to check if it is db20 or db21

yay just got my nexus5 but the ringtone is rather soft even if i had made it max volume, any idea?

let's hope that they fix it through firmware. I missed 7 calls from the time i bought the phone -.-
