Just for comparison mobilechoice.com.sg gave me a price of $630sg and the price of the same phone in China the price would be well over $900sg. So while Changi might be over priced on mobile phones for SIN residents it might still offer value for some value for those of us who have less competitive shopping options and I have found in the past the prices are way better than the prices in Hong Kong Airport. I'll see when I go through in about 2 weeks and if it is somewhere in the middle I will probably buy it and let you know.
Thank You so much for the assistance.
