I had just ordered my 4gb/64gb unit ( mocha brown) from valuebasket.com
It should come in by next week
I had good experience buying from this site for my current LG V10

Uncle Benny is the great fan for Huawei Mate Series...

I am considering to get it from taobao, cheaper but more risky..

Yes my experience with HW Mate 6.1 n Mate7 has been very good. Till now I would still highly recommend Mate7 as one of the best 6 incher I had used. The other is Oppo R7+. Valuebasket is very reliable trustworthy site n offer 2 year warranty too.

Cross my finger to your reviews before i took my plunge..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8

Above is a good site to read user review of the phone
As in any phone there are bound to be both positive n negative comments. I read these for info only n will never allow these comments to affect my buying decision

I wonder how will huawei malaysia price the Mate 8 ....

Hi where do valuebasket ship from?

Im checking it from Singapore, 64GB/4GB version is $959

Is Spore based site n I supposed is shipped from HK ??

For me,if Huawei Malaysia can improve their frequency of updates just like China or Europe set than this will be a very good flagship phone...

Very true. That is why I always flash the latest Euro versions on all my previous HW phones. Those Euro/China sets could have 5-6 updates already while the M'sian version usually stays the same or at most only one update

haha, uncle benny, i thought u said u have the p8 max wont bother bout mate8. lol.
anw, do review the phone after u got it. thx.

P8max I used mainly to read ebook n watch movies. It had basically replaced my ipad mini3 which now lying idle several months already
I will decide whether to use the Mate8 or LG V10 as main phone.

1 million units sold in first month ?

How long does it usually take for them to send to klang valley? Really wanna get 1 but next friday im going to hong kong so maybe can get from there. lol

About 10 days to receive ?

Based on CES 2016 hands on it definitely seems like a refined nexus 6, SLEEK!

If it's not for the HiFi on V10, I am really tempted to try this out.

Uncle Benny,

If lets say i get a China set of Mate 8, will it be any difference/difficulties using it in Malaysia?

Thanks.

Absolutely no problems
My P8Max is China source set. You just need to download playstore n those google app you need from HW app store
3G/H+ n LTE is perfectly fine
