It would be relevant to mention one thing here - if any phones (indeed anything containing a battery) need to be returned because they are defective, then you are forced to send it back through a company called Pack And Send because neither Australia Post nor any courier company will accept them. And then the company will usually ask you to pay the customs duty for collecting the device at their end. This could well end up making the device as costly as it is in Australia.
Okay, but AU didn't have any trouble shipping my phone from US to AU regardless of it having a non-removable LiPo battery in it.
That has also puzzled me but all that I could get out of Australia Post and DHL was that those were the rules and they could not accept devices with a battery inside for shipment abroad. Sam
