Ive laid out all my minimal skills but always keen expand them more, if anyone out there knows what Im talking about then Im sure we will be chatting soon.
I'm sure you will find some interesting discussions on Telecom, CDMA and the likes here plus much much more!
Well, I still haven't heard a peep out of Noel Leeming, three weeks after ordering and two weeks after their estimated delivery date. I wish I'd ordered directly from Apple but it's too late to do that now because I am changing jobs in a couple of weeks and I don't want to risk the package turning up after I have left.
Fwiw i queried them yesterday and they stated that there is no confirmed supply date from their supplier and they could provide no other details. :-(
I don't think I would deal with them again. In itself I'm not too concerned about the timeframe - it's not like it's something critical like a fridge or washing machine - but I just don't like being given misleading information and then not getting any pro-active communication to keep me informed. It's very poor customer service.
I had the original sports before and it also got some light scruff after a few month of usage. After putting on the protector, I could tell how much scratch I was getting because the screen protector was getting scruffed and need to be replaced every few months.
Now I dont have to worry about it at all when wearing the Series 2 AW with a protector. And there's already one corner on the S2 showing a 'pinch bubble' on mine and I'll probably replace the protector after a few more scruffs.
Edit: Also I tried a few screen protectors before and the one I linked seems to be the best as it sticks well and looks like as if there's nothing on it at all.
I used the bestskinever cover for the gen 1 apple watch after trying a couple other protectors that only covered the flat front of the watch. It was tricky to apply but once on it did wonders for looking invisible on the watch as it went down the sides and covered the whole front of the watch. It saved it from a fair few scratch.
I rang Noel Leeming and asked for an update today and it sounds like Apple is giving them very little communication. The guy I spoke to offered to cancel my order and give me a refund, but I'm going to hang on for a bit longer. Hopefully there might be some traction next week.
I went into JB Hifi at lunch time and the guy there told me that they had received stock of a couple of specific configurations, but they're not taking orders for any other series 2 units at this stage. He said that getting hold of Apple stock is quite difficult at the moment, and I guess they don't want to risk disappointing people by taking orders with no idea when they can fill them.

Thinking of getting one of these too, their pricing seems quite reasonable. Do you have problems at all with the corners lifting or catching on things? I had a snap on case for a while that was always falling off, so I stopped using it and of course I've now scuffed 3 corners of the watch face :-)
Iinstalling the corners just took patience, i sat with it for about 20 minutes and kept smoothing the corners as it dried, looked pretty good in the end.
Frustrated with Noel Leeming for not being pro-active in communicating delays to their customers. I am unsure as to why they have taken orders for items that they clearly are unable to guarantee delivery of in a reasonable timeframe.
I will leave my Apple Watch Series 2 order with them but will think twice in future as ordering directly from Apple has been far more successful.
On a different note, ordered one of these after seeing the original version a while ago but shuddered at the price.
The modern build model looks stunning with either black or silver watches. Looks great and quite a bit cheaper than the official version.
I can understand the delay because if Apple isn't supplying the product then it's not really their fault, but the poor communication annoys me. They quoted a one week delivery time which they must have known they couldn't fulfil, and two weeks after that they still hadn't said a word until I called them.
An email last week saying something along the lines of "we apologise that there has been a delay in fulfilling your order and we will come back to you as soon as we have heard from our supplier" would have made the whole experience much more forgivable.
So just looked on the apple site they are still quoting 3-4 weeks Noel Leemings dont know..... So no one has any idea when they will arrive in NZ?
Mine said 5 weeks when I ordered from Apple Store. It shipped in 10 days. I'd go for it with the Apple Store. Super easy to cancel order completely if it hasn't shipped by the time Noel's have them in.

You can cancel anytime with Apple until it reaches the preparing for shipment stage. It came straight from production line in Asia via TNT as oppose in stock items which come from Sydney via DHL / Courier post.
Have to admit, im tempted to ring apple online and check what their delivery time frame actually is, im sitting at a month since ordering with zero feedback from noel's unless I had instigated it.
The lack of feedback from noel's is the most disappointing part if this whole thing, i would have thought a simple email to say there are delays etc would be the decent customer service thing to do, but that would ohviously make too much sense.
I am not an IT professional. Can someone tell me is that really genuine? http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/software/ms-office/auction-845322472.htm
No, it's not. Shop looks like an Amazon frontend, I'd say they might buy these things and then email your key - but it will be up to you to download from some dodgy site.
Oh I see. There are lots selling at unbelievable price but how do I identify what is real what is not? Their feedback looks good. Maybe this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/software/ms-office/auction-843416323.htm
+1 , That second trade me auction states office 2013 in the title and further down in the description it says office 2011 , sham all over it.
The most ideal way of getting Microsoft Office (if you need more features than the free edition) is to get an office 365 home/home professional subscription for non business, or Office 365 for business.
Anyway, I mentioned this to Trade Me via Twitter and got a reply now (obviously they have my email address somewhere there):
It's appreciated that you've got in touch with us about this. Trade Me wants every member on the site to have the best experience possible and this is why we have policies in place.

I've reported it, hopefully Nathan or Regan can get whomever in MS-NZ deals with IP theft to discuss it with TradeMe.
No contact details for the business whatsoever. Looks to me like most of the product is just drop shipping.
