May i know, this unit is couriered to us from local or oversea ? what about custom tax? i heard custom ask to go test at Sirim first.. kena bayar.. then, custom charge quite expensive as they claim this device transmit frequency bla bla bla...

the price in ebay is around RM250.. so are we paying exactly that amount or more for tax purpose?

thanks...

Cheers.

I just want the device for tracking purpose, then upload to PC and submit to MFM \:D/

Probably no pairing with anything else, but if ever want to pair, maybe pair to own laptop I guess. I'm also using N73, but don't see the point of pairing GPS device to it, or is there any benefits that you can tell me other than navigation as I'm using Nuvi for navigation.

Yeap, currently I am also using it standalone for tracking purposes only. In such case, the 51 Ch PPC PDA XDA will do. :D

It send from overseas. For this type of small item and single unit. Normally custom won't charge tax. I got mine deivered to my house without any tax incurred. But sometime is depend on your luck. :lol:

They're all the same unit from the same seller but posted to different ebays in different countries.. hence, the prices are a bit different and some will have higher postage charge compared to the others.. I bought mine from the same seller in UK ebay .. that seems to be the cheapest since GBP is sliding against all currencies .. RM230++ at the moment for the one I bought last week.. still waiting for it to be in my PO box tho'.

Beware of the delivery charges also, they are all very smart. Some the price very low but delivery charges will kill us. So compare all prices inclusive delivery charges. :D

Yeah......this 737 purely for navigation, not track log. Act fast, contact the seller to change to 747 if your intention is to do data logging. :shock:

Using ebay, you could list the shipping cost too and that way you could compare the prices inclusive of the delivery.. mine is the same unit ordered from the same seller as you guys got yours .. it just that GBP is sliding again this week (and my earning also sliding down .. arghh)..

To the forumner who posted the lelong ones, the iBlue 737 does not do logging .. so, you couldn't do trekking .. that is the reason most of us going for the 747 ones.
