    New phone.

    My parents have booked a trip for us to go to Italy in September this year and on the way there we have a day in Hong Kong to look around and do some shopping or whatev

    Dad reckons it would be the best place to get some sort of technology etc. I'm thinking about getting either an iPhone 5 or Galaxy SIII because it is like $200 cheaper there than here in NZ . I've looked at the Galaxy Notes and they seem not bad.

    or are there any other phones that are supposed to be released that will be sexy af? Not keen on a Windows phone.

    I don't believe in ripoffs or scams. I'm helping a Nigerian family by giving them $5,000 a month and by the end of the year I will be married to the Nigerian princess

    How do you know it isnt just a scam to get his money? :O
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_scam
    its an actual thing :O NIGERIAN SCAMS
    This scam usually begins with a letter or email[3] purportedly sent to a selected recipient but actually sent to many, making an offer that would result in a large payoff for the victim. The email's subject line often says something like "From the desk of barrister [Name]", "Your assistance is needed", and so on. The details vary, but the usual story is that a person, often a government or bank employee, knows of a large amount of unclaimed money or gold which he cannot access directly, usually because he has no right to it. Such people, who may be real but impersonated people or fictitious characters played by the con artist, could include, for example, the wife or son of a deposed African leader or dictator who has amassed a stolen fortune, or a bank employee who knows of a terminally ill wealthy person with no relatives or a wealthy foreigner who deposited money in the bank just before dying in a plane crash (leaving no will or known next of kin),[25] a US soldier who has stumbled upon a hidden cache of gold in Iraq, a business being audited by the government, a disgruntled worker or corrupt government official who has embezzled funds, a refugee,[26] and similar characters. The money could be in the form of gold bullion, gold dust, money in a bank account, blood diamonds, a series of checks or bank drafts, and so forth. The sums involved are usually in the millions of dollars, and the investor is promised a large share, typically ten to forty percent, in return for assisting the fraudster to retrieve the money. Although the vast majority of recipients do not respond to these emails, a very small percentage do, enough to make the fraud worthwhile, as many millions of messages can be sent. Sums of money which are substantial, but very much smaller than the promised profits, are said to be required in advance for bribes, fees, etc. —- this is the money being stolen from the victim, who thinks he or she is investing to make a huge profit.

    Hong Kong is full of knock-offs.
    I don't recommend you to get a phone there.

    They have fake apple stores in Hong Kong
    I'd do my research beforehand and make sure that it is a 100% genuine store

    Plus my dad has been in the industry long enough to pick up on anything that is a bit fishy. I'd also doubt that there wouldn't be many knock off stores in Hong Kong since it is a major city.
