There is easier solution for buying it at a lesser rate with FREE shipping to US and then importing individually through SNS/others instead of doing effort in group buying/ negotiation/managing buyers/collecting payments/dispatching to each individually from one point in india et all.. My two cents...Hope it's of some value! There are two products GBox I and II. The only difference between the two is G Box II has 4 USB ports + component Y/Pb/Pr Output whereas GBox 1 has 2 USB+normal RCA video. Rest everything including hardware is same. Even the latest software/ROM update is same and works on both as mentioned here >> http://androidtvbox....tware-and-roms/ The same seller has two listing of GBox I as bidding item with FREE Shipping to US >> http://www.ebay.com/...tdistro/m.html? Try bidding and see what best price one can get. There is another listing for GBox I in Buy it Now with FREE shipping to US with Make Best Offer option. Check and make an offer, one will get an idea how much less they can give it for! >> http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_4634wt_1265 Regarding the usage, none of the US only streaming services works in India. So it will be basically YouTube and other stored content on memory card/HDD's + Apps which can be used. But i see other possibility for making good use of such devices. What do most people do on Home PC's? Internet Browsing, Social Media, YouTube, Office software, Some light gaming / music / movies? And PC's are ON 24X7 using around 200-300 watt of electricity constantly. Now by attaching physical keyboard/mouse to this device one can do all that on large screen TV. This device should also require very low electricity consumption plus the added benefit of silent operation compared to noicy PC. Should also be possible to use as a downloader. Not sure if Google Chrome OS can be installed on this but if yes, that's other possibility. Some versions of linux may also work.

as far as battery is concerned , friends you must not forget that you are using a smartphone , so it is up to you how you use it and for how long you want your battery to last, the more avtive apps you load into it the less will the battery last. i am using almost all active apps as you might be seeing in the screenshots, my battery lasts for almost 6 to 10 hours depending on the area i am in, if i am in a low coverage or bad network area my battery lasts less. i am using around 8 email accounts kept to be sycn. every 10 minutes. so i think my battery is perfect. i also keep it connected to a electric or usb charger whenever i have access to one. that is neccessary, one must consider a smartphone as a lappy connect it to a charger when not in use. i do not think that the roms or builds have anything to do with the battery. the stock rom i downloaded , i do not remember from where i got one coz i just googled it and actually downloaded it on my mobile. if you want i am uploading it to my dropbox. and the link is https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15103433/D710USEL29_20120105151142_Stock.zip

For those who are unable to get the region changed after multiple re-tries, you can try the following steps: * Enable Airplane mode * Go to Settings > Apps > All > "Google Play Store" or "Market" -> Clear Data * Open the app (see op) and set the custom value (make sure root permission is added) * Restart the phone * Go to Settings > Apps > All > "Google Play Store" or "Market" -> Clear Data * The custom value would have reset in the Market Enabler app, so change it again * Enable wifi * Sync Gmail * Open Market, should show the apps in rupees now. * Disable airplane mode I got it working on ICS 4.0.3 as well, so it should work but not a straight forward procedure.
