Sometimes you can find really good deals there. But I think you usually have to pay extra shipping since you are in Alaska.

Since most Americans dont change new phone as frequent as Asians and Europeans, most cellphone makers dont really care about the US market. Somemore most of the time you will have to sign a contract to get a cheap phone. Unlocked phones are so freaking expensive..

soccergod mentioned most of it already. On top of that, if you buy a low end phone it's usually 850/1900MHz only plus there are many phones that are CDMA only. Best place to buy a phone is still LYP or Sg Wang, unlocked, lots of choice, lots of used ones if you need one cheap...

thanks guys.. appreciate it a lot ^^ hope can get a few good deals... heheheh

any other stuff worth buying from US ar?

Hi, just to tumpang the thread. I'm going to Canada for studies in early September, and will be transiting through S. Korea (Seoul) and USA (Atlanta). I have two options - either a 3 hr 35 min or a 6 hr 35 min layover at Atlanta.

IINM, there are some immigration process to go through at USA even though it's just a transit, right? How long would it take? Do I need to opt for the 6 hr 35 min layover one? Or would 3 hr 35 min be more than enough?

Thanks.

Oh and to add on to it, I'm planning to get a travel visa for USA rather than just a transit visa. I've heard that if I have a Canada study visa, I should be able to get the travel visa for USA too even though I have no specific travel plans yet, since their neighboring countries? I plan to travel to NY some time in the future, but I might not be coming back to Malaysia before that, and it'll be a hassle to apply for the USA travel visa there. So.. was wondering if it's possible.

if transit n u dont leave d airport there's no immigration n customs... if u r planning to go out then yes... but i dont think u can go out.. u no visa

shorter d better since u cant go out..

i think u can... but u have to get it in canada...

Ah I see. Thanks man! That would save me plenty of time. I thought there were some immigration process to go through as well even though it's just a transit. Guess I was wrong.

Oh, can't get the visa here, huh? Ah well

i think you can easily get VISA in canada. my friend is studying in usa and a visa to canada cost him 80usd. i dont know how much does canada charges though. still it's doable

It's obtainable there, but it'll take 6 months time That's why I'm trying to see if I can get it here before leaving for Canada.

u get there easier... coz u got a reason to return... u get in msia makes it look weird... u might get rejected

make sure ur city in canada can do d visa thingie 1st lor

I think the transit without visa program in US has been suspended. So you might need a C-1 visa to enter US. I personally have only entered through LAX and SFO but from what I can see, everyone goes through the immigration when they landed.

So CSG you might want to check with your travel agent.

Yeah, if your friend goes to school in US it's not too hard to get a Canadian visitor visa. Just have to go to Canadian consulate early in the morning and you could get the visa at the same day. But CSG is going to study in Canada and wishes to apply for a US visa, so that's a completely different story. My friend was in Canada a few years back ( 2 years after 9/11 ) and he told me it was so hard to apply for US visitor visa from Canada. But I am pretty sure things have changed.

From what I heard, it is still the easiest to apply for US visa from your home country. At least it doesn't take that long for them to figure out your identity. Or they might give you a single entry visa instead of multiple entry if you apply in foreign land. And you might have to wait longer for the visa to be approved.

I see. Thanks guys for the response I guess I'll call up the travel agent and also the embassy for final confirmation.
