But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

I love this phone, even with the lowest spec version, it's great.
Asus is updating its firmware almost every week and I can't wait until they release the 64bit lollipop version.
People complained about the camera quality, 2nd sim slot is 2G calling only, but hey, it's only $240cdn, can't ask for more.

Where did you guys buy your phones? I just cracked my S5 and it's going to be 225 to fix. Considering getting one of these instead.

I see there is only one shop, Wang Gay, selling "water product" (grey market) more expensive than "Asus HK"???
There is no reason to buy "water product", people has been saying the HK Asus service center has a long lineup sending in faulty ZF2. By the way, I do not find any posting saying water products are better, so I can't help you on that.

Normally water ones are cheaper....but this case was the opposite that's why I was wondering. Wow, long lineup of faulty ZF2's??
Can't decide to get this...or the G3.  | |

if you live in HK and want to buy a G3 from a non-retailer, you better watch out, as many reported there are many used units (pretend to be new) from all over the world.
