Black 64GB is the way to go... less slippery

Oh well.. Good for owners lah since their 2nd hand value still high. Only bad for new buyers because 1 year plus outdated phone still selling for RM1.6k.

Anyone here trade in your device at Directd for OPO?

good ... how long was the waiting time?

Saturday send out today arrived Malaysia

Not little... it's still a gross margin of RM240, after deduct shipping still make 100+ maybe even up to 200 per unit

$299 *2.37 = RM977.

Rm1200 - RM980= Rm220, just say shipping Rm20,

Profit RM200 la.

Exactly!... that's not little, bro

Note... USD exchange rate is actually 3.2 today...

Bro, check ur maths too.. 299 x 2.37 = 709; 299 x 3.37 = 1008

Don't bother, the trade in price is super low. I once bought a few weeks old Vibe X at RM1k they only offered RM500. Most phones will be 50% of current prices eg. If your HTC M8 is RM2k you trade in only RM1k.

why use skin when we can get the case/ cover later... heh heh...

I don't mind since is already out of warranty old of Note 2.

Not possible to get 299 USD in any china retail shops, unless you have invites or go through their supply chain. It's likely the retail shops in China get it for 299 and then sell for USD$390 as you notice in Aliexpress and many other websites.

The 299/349 price is actually non-existant unless the the minimal invites that were given out.

for me... lots of photos, some games like FF, they fill up quite fast on my 32GB note 2. I have 64gb card for movies, etc... something to watch on the go.

plus, with Google going to push ART soon, if I recall, it'll take up more space than Dalvik.

Personalization. I once use white carbon fibre skin on my black N5, because it's unique . All depends on personal taste.

China OPO sell at RMB 1999.99 for 16GB and RMB 2299.99 for 64GB ( official website price )

Note 2 now around RM1200+ right? Should be RM600 then. You can get higher if you put in the garage sale I think. If good condition pm me I may wanna get a spare phone also.

Yes, China OPO sell to retail shop, then retail shop sell to others also need to earn mah...There's 2 layers of markups included, not to mention the 3rd layer when shops like Directd brings them in to sell to you. Actually I know the supplier for the shops, they only earn RM50 from the cost and this includes local warranty.

ah... if personalisation, I prefer hydraskins. can even print image.

yup, China sales is via resellers. so prices will be slightly higher than say, USA price.

unless like what DannyOP say... know reseller and get them to sell you at cost.

good to know DirectD price going down. since officially not abdicate in Malaysia, getting from them might be good since they have their own warranty.

For current DirectD price, good enough for me, resellers also need makan ma.

Yes, not to mention if anything goes wrong they need to send via airmail to China for replacement, not possible by sea freight as it will take more than a month and if China sends by sea mail that's another month excluding custom delays, and all the customers will be screaming down their necks lol
