Since March. The only thing I miss is a top numeric row in keyboard. But i have grown used to it.

and about custom duty, only gifted items upto 10000 are not costumed , if its not a gift it attracts customs

^ Don't know about those charges. May be mugen taking care of it. I paid nothing. Got the item delivered from local postman. Funny part is once i paid through paypal. I got a call from a cc gal with a wierd english accent, she must be chinesetaiwan. She called me to just confirm my paypal personal details ... Btw, no idea about local octroi charges for other states. Because no such charges in Tamil Nadu.

Most of the time, if you get the item through normal post, they forget to charge duty. I got it through FedEx (took 2 days from Hong Kong). They make sure duty is charged on that. 100 odd bucks were FedEx convenience charges.

I was lucky then. Had ordered a Brainwavz R1 from mp4nation which was shipped via FedEx (from Hong Kong). No duty was charged :smile:.

Free shipping almost done through normal post. Means IPS. Normally takes 2 to 3 weeks to get it. AFAIK no charges if shipped through normal post. I often buy stuff from ebay international. For which i never paid anything as custom or other duties. If shipped via private couriers you will be charged. They name it as per their convenience. Convenience charge, handling charge etc. If you want it quick then you have to pay for it that's obvious ... Some of the minimum value items ($2-5$) i ordered gone missing & never reached me. Which i normally reported it to the seller and got my refund to my paypal ...

Read this, and went to cry in the corner....

Don't worry dude. There's nothing spectacular to look for in 4.2.

In the article it's mentioned they will introduce 4.3, so updates have not stopped. As it is 4.2 is slower compared to 4.1
