1404259	2015-07-07 05:03:00	What are you attempting to buy? Nothing firm yet although I do like the Turing Phone but that might not be available to get for New Zealand The latest models do not impress me.	DeSade (984)
1404260	2015-07-07 20:23:00	That is appealing but the difference is up to $500 that is a lot of cash. if the difference is really $500 you are being ripped off try to negotiate with the NZ vendor you are comparing too Also remember to include 15% GST in your comparison	nmercer (3899)

Things i have experienced you may listen to, or not: Just because it says Samsung doesnt mean it is Samsung. If you are not happy it will cost you more than the phone is worth to send back. I brought a phone which had all the right details of frequencies and was meant to be unlocked but would go on Vodafone only. Cost me $100 for the phone. Sits in the draw gathering dust. A genuine Samsung brought in NZ is lightyears ahead of a cheap rip off. (you probably already know this) A colleague brought 2x S5 from overseas for $150 each, 1 worked fine the other he had to send back... I dont believe in buying $1000 phones so i ended up getting a Nokia 530 and are very happy with it (cost me $70 from the warehouse + $30 to unlock) Good luck	Gobe1 (6290)
