I Bought Nexus One

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2010-02-25 00:08 · Hi-Tech Toys

I know there are many people who said bad things about like, like Robert Mao; and I have other friends who really liked it (although they said it is not as good as iPhone, but still worth trying if I am a heavy Google user). After reading so many reviews, I get more and more confused, and then I thought of a story, the little horse crossing the river. Ant Cow said different thing from little squirrel to the little horse.

So, the best thing is, try it out, and if it does not work out as I expected, sell it on Baixing.

Here it comes! It is on the way!

P.S. I wrote more blog than I am in Shanghai, since I wake up at 6:30 AM these days, and has nothing to do before the first meeting at 10:00 am, and I have a lot to share.

P.S.2 Happy birthday to Jim Sang.

JS, FYI (you probably know it already).

Your big boss is running for the top job in California.

I wish her success.

Wow! Your new phone is great, and how much is it?

WJS,

Interested to know how you paid online for it... especially with the Billing Address and the Shipping Address.

Did you use a Chinese credit card to pay for it? (i.e. the billing address) and ship it to your hotel ?

thanks

I used Chinese credit card - the China Merchant Bank credit card, and have it shipped to my friend's address.

So your billing address is your Chinese address...

and the shipping address is the USA.

How do they go about determining taxes - based on the shipping address ?

I am on business trip in Singapore - trying to decide whether to use an Australian or my Chinese Merchant Bank credit card

thanks

For tax? I believe it is based on shipping address. They charge me pretty high tax on it.

— Jian Shuo Wang · 2010-03-08 20:54

Just to let you know - received the Nexus One in Singapore. $555 USD total.

They did not charge any tax.
