The main question is: how is it sold in Singapore?

A Google Checkout account is required to purchase via Google phone store.

Of course, if this means Google Checkout is coming to Singapore, this will be big news for Singapore Android users and developers.

Good question. I'm not sure how people in Singapore can buy it. Let me see if I can find out.

Looks like you can create a Google Checkout account if you're in Singapore. At least, i was given that option when I went through the process of buying the Nexus One (not that I did).

All you need to do is to provide your credit card details.

Oh,

I am totally confused - I go through the steps, and Google Checkout is already there, with my credit card number! I don't even know I have a Google Checkout account!

Anyway... I bought one. :)

I've got so many questions about this phone. Can I tether using this phone? Can I use multitouch gestures (I know this is not possible in US because the patent is held by Apple).Are there any Andriod apps for TODAY, ST, Bloomberg, BuUuk?
