There are several branches of the HK based electronic chain store, Fortress, in Macau. Not the cheapest place, but reliable - no fakes and you get a guarantee. There is one branch in the main square, Largo Do Senado. The other main HK chain store, Broadway, might also have branches there.2
Thanks very much, @drumbrake. I'll look into those suggestions. Reliability and lack of fakes are important factors for me.I realize that Hong Kong is almost surely a better place to shop for such items, but figured I'd try in Macau anyhow while I was there on other business. Still somewhat less expensive than the Chinese mainland for international brands.

Follow up: Found a suitable one at Fortress.The big Fortress store at Largo do Senado was swamped with shoppers from the Mainland loading up as part of the pre-Spring Festival frenzy. I got the same selection and prices, with less harried service, at one of the smaller Fortress stores (Avenida Horta E, Costa No S/N, Millennium Court, Res-Do-Chao B.)
Also found a good selection of phones Koio Cyberland (several branches.)
Wound up with a Sony Experia P for 2,888 MOP. One year warranty included, with the service address being in Mongkok (Ginza Plaza.)
