Hi,

I'm going to singapore for a business trip and would like to get a few pointers on where to get resonable priced ericsson t68i accesories. Spacifically, I'm interested in the snap on camera and the bluetooth headsets. Could someone from SG tell me if there's an area where I can check out these accesories? My friend said to try the "Sim Lim" building. Any comments? Thanks in advance...

Hey!
If you are coming to Singapore, trying Sim Lim is not a bad idea but remember to bring along a local to help you bargain.
Cos the retailers tend to "con" people like you (Mainly foreigners)

They are many shops that sells phones in Singapore so if you have a friend in Singapore, try asking for more places to compare prices.
Its a very competitive market out there

Sim Lim Square is located at Rocho Road.
Just ask for a shopping complex know as "OG" located at Albert complex.

Then you will find that theres a very big building just across the road.
Thats Sim Lim.

I am not so sure about the add but I can help you find it out

Tram?
We do not have trams but We do have trains!

Take a train from any train station and try to ask for directions to take the train to Bugis station (You would still have to walk a bit)
Just ask your way from then on.

Its a crowded place so you would surely get help.

If you can afford a trip on a cab, just ask for Sim Lim.

badzmaru - be careful of sim lim square. some of the shops are out to con tourists. like what some of the fellas have said, bring along a local if you can. you can try also sim lim tower. from my experience, sim lim tower offers good prices also. just be sure to check prices from a few shop before buying. you can try hi-star multimedia on the 2nd floor - look for peter. he offered good prices when i was checking out the t68i a month or so ago. was very patient with me also. note: i am not related to the shop nor peter nor do i have any interests if someone buys from them.

If you want to check on pc parts, Sim Lim also offers the most in the whole of Singapore.

Go check it out too.
I will be sending the pics to you today.

The world, you mean? LOL... Sim Lim Square Rocks! There is another shop at Lucky Plaza, unit #B1-01, look for the manager of the shop, James. He is a T68i user and HE BRINGS IN EVERY ACCESSORY FOR THE T68i! LOl.
Errr.... what is a signature?
