I caved in and picked it up (grrr). Phone is absolutely gorgeous. Battery life is a bit average though.

Anyone know where to get cheapest deal in Bangkok? Thanks!

Someone mentioned this retailer at MBK: https://www.mirakar.com/compare.php?IDPro=14671

having units for as little as 12,700. Caveat Emptor.

DTAC is offering a real localized unit for 14,900, 15,900 along with some decent post-paid promotions. Evidently the 14,900 promotion ended already.
