It's pretty damn easy to do and the 8GB model should easily land for around NZD$420 all up: 1) Setup Wallet using details from ship2u.co.nz 2) Order phone from Play Store US while using TunnelBear: www.tunnelbear.com 3) Wait a few days for it to show up at Ship2u, then pay NZD$20 to have it forwarded to your doorstep Done! :) Otherwise if you have $499, you can buy the 16GB local from The Warehouse Stationary, they have an *insane* deal going on until tomorrow!! Or you could use YouShop (NZ Post) and possibly get it cheaper as they have their warehouse in Oregon, which doesn't have sales tax. |

Yes but you can't just order it online. You have to go thru all sorts of hoops with shipping address, changing your credit card address setting up a VPN just to access the Playstore. Most people including myself can't be bothered with all these hoops and just pay a bit more and buy it from a parallel importer for about $500 ~ 600. Definitely not the ripoff price of $799 that 2Degrees is selling it for.. |

| 1345762 | 2013-06-17 03:31:00 | I bought myself a new Nokia Lumia 520 a month ago, it's not android but Windows 8 based phone. I must say I am quite impressed by the quality of build and software. Has a powerful CPU, a big and extremely responsive screen and comes in many colours ( I got the yellow one) :) $278 at Dick Smith. Can't go wrong. |

| 1345764 | 2013-06-17 05:27:00 | Battery is good bud. I had it on 3 days in a row now (light use though; texting odd call) and still have 3/4 battery there. I think Nokia have given it a good shot at regaining their status as an excellent handset's manufacturer here. Plenty of reviews online also that give them very high scores ;) |

Would seem you don't gain much from the other two. |
