Hi,
Is there any news about when/if the Adam will show up at a retailer in the US?
Thanks.
I think this is going to be an online product only.

Notion Ink has said numerous times they are working with retailers already to get the adam sold elsewhere, not just on their website. As far as being sold in a brick and mortar, not sure about that but somewhere like amazon would be great.
I think online only is OK.
As long as the online retailers have a decent return policy.
I am very interested in getting one. But NI's return policy is not the best.
there was someone from Best Buy in one of the videos from CES, and with best buy having such a global presence, (It does just under different names in different countries.) I wouldn't be surprised if they started to sell the adam.

Hello guys Im new to this Touch HD forum and I want one BAD...I found one Cheap from a company in China & I would like to know has anybody else bought one from China? Its unlocked and they said it will work with T-Mobile.
The best price I have heard on Touch HD is around $720 + Shipping to the US from resellers in UK. Nothing from China... if I were you, I will not throw away my money from a seller in a country where it is not released yet, and has a cheaper price.
Again, just my thought... Its your money and your deal.
I live in China. Tell me the name of the company and give a link and I'll check it out. My first impression though is no way. THe touch hd is not officially released here yet so the only way to legally get them is to have them shipped from Hong Kong and they are expensive ($800 US), so I doubt that some company in China would be getting them from abroad and then shipping them to you cheaper than someone like handtec who is getting them directly from HTC in Europe....
1. Like everything in life, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. If this chinese company is indeed reputable, then go ahead. But be warned with the risks involved in importing goods, you have to be prepared to assume all risks and liabilities (warranty, shipping problems, fraud, etc). From my view as of Dec 8, 2008, HTC Touch HD is still pre-order only in many shops and sells for about $800 to $900 due to high demand.
2. Unlocked GSM phones will work with any GSM carriers, that's the nature of being 'unlocked'. However, the downside is that they're usually not subsidized by the GSM carrier and thus more expensive. A trade off between flexibility and cost. For me, the flexibility of being able to use any GSM card when I travel abroad outweighs the cost.

define cheap? before shipping, mine was approximately $670.00 US from Clove Technology. even at today's exchange rate (around 1.50 dollars for each GBP), $700 from a reputable reseller is the best price you'll get. i've seen US retailers selling for as much as $840 and that doesn't include shipping!
Ok update ...Ive now Got a contact in the USA that I can get the phones from Cheap, and when I say cheap I mean under 400.00 shipped to your door.Im registered to get them wholesale...this is where Ebayers probably get them from to re-sell for a big profit .Im gonna be joining you guys soon I hope
I am desperate to get a good android tablet asap I have looked at the vast majority of the tablets available but there isn't any I can actually get hold of in the uk nowhere has any except the expensive ones. Can anybody recommend a good one that is actually available to get.
It has to have or be capable of running android 2.2 so I have full flash support and wifi and must be under 300 pound.
Thanks

Well I grabbed 3 G-Tabs while over in the US on a business trip recently. You would have been welcome to have one or on fact all three of them, except for the fact that people like Roebeet, GoJimi et al, have turned what was a lump of "stuff" into a highly usable competitor to the iPAD. I know Sears wont let you pay with a UK CC, but I think Staples and Office Depot are now stocking them as well (and may well accept international CC's) price ranges from $379 to $399. I'm not due out there until Feb again so unless you want to wait I cant help sorry. I havent seen them anywhere in the UK.

why dont you guys just order from one of the UK sites? or are you asking for someone that can get it from a company which only sells within UK for a bit cheaper?

Have you tried Handtec, they deliver to Australia. ~AUS$700
sweet. Might pounce on one of these. A few questions first
1. Which site is more reliable? Has anyone ordered thru either?
2. How long does shipping usually take to the United states?
3. It says first units dispatched may 3rd? Does that mean if i place my order today it will ship that day? or will it be on backorder?

i'm from CA and i ordered from handtec. it was the cheapest out of all the sites i found. about 710 us.
Last time i check, about 2 days ago, they still had units left for preorder for shipping on the 3rd of may.
It takes 2-4 days to ship. Saw that on the website.
shipping cost about 14 pounds.
y don't you try this site: http://electroprise.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-ii-quadband-3g-hsdpa-gps-unlocked-p-2792.html
They are from: http://electroprise.com/contact_us.php
Got this from a post in gsmarena, sorry didn't know its a scam.
Im in CA too. Im just curious as to if there's a bunch of pre order before mine since they've been taking them forever that it wont even ship until later this month or something. Id need it by the 12th. You said yours was$ 710?

this store is a scam, there is a dedicated thread going for "buying in the USA" - use that one, has good info on imports and stores.

Why you asking so late? I can buy it for you and ship to you. How much you willing to pay me? (Email me is fine).
I preorderd from clove but it's possible they ship on may 6 !
I don't want to wait that long, I want to preorder another one from handtec.
It's my first time buying from them so I'm not sure handtec able to ship on may 3.
I can sell you the 2nd sealed s2 to you after I got it.
there's a fairly good discussion about clove and handtec here.. maybe it'll help you decide which to choose.

I've used Expansys a number of times both in the US and UK. They have online stores in numerous countries. They will have devices from the UK available in their US online store which you can buy in USD without paying VAT. They also have online support forums which I've found pretty useful in the past.

I was happy and surprised when the n7 came to canada at the same time as the US, (well I think a week later) when usually we may get a product at a much later date, so I thought the same thing would happen with the nexus 10, but it never did. It's still not on sale in retail store here and I assume never will be. Yes, samsung made this and not asus, but other samsung products are sold here, so why not this?
I kind of get the impression that the n10 didn't hit that many retail stores in the US either, but I could be wrong.
Staples and Walmart as far as I know are the only two retail stores in the USA . And only the 32gb at 499
Got mine at Walmart yaaay no shipping lol
Samsclub also has it but that's owned by the same person as Walmart. I got mime from there

Ok so it seems it was a very limited release in the US and not at all in Canadian retail. Why was that?
It seems like they had a huge retail success with the N7 and the 10 inch was a very competitively priced tablet for the hardware you were getting and seemed poised to be another big success, so it seems weird to me to barely give it a push distributing it in such few retail markets.
Especially when considering the rest of samsung's line is available here in retail.
I think it's because Google started selling it directly from thheir play store you can order one from there. They have international shipping
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
Well, yeah I know you can buy it online, even in canada, and although online shopping is growing, retail is still a huge market.
And they had online shopping with the nexus 7 as well, but of course also decided on retail distribution. I'll be surprised when the nexus 7 successor is announced if it is online only.
I had a couple of friends who wanted to buy a n10 for christmas and asked me and I said yeah it's online only and they instead went with something else.
I still like to buy retail cause if there's any issues I can go right back to the store for a replacement. Say I had an issue with my n7, then I have to mail it back and be without it for a week or whatever if I bought a dud?
As I said you can buy samsung's other tablet products retail, and google's other offerings retail as well, except the n10.
Well I thought it was an exception and there was a reason why, but I hope it's not a sign of things to come.
HI I want to buy the z2 u was wondering if anyone has bought it from Amazon US, and got a phone with no flaws and recent batch.. Would you mind telling me which seller? Thanks
Sent from my XPERIA S using XDA app
I was going to buy one from amazon and then turned out my local carrier store actually was selling it unlocked at a lower price than Amazon plus local 2-year warranty from Sony here in Australia.
Just be mindful when you purchase from any of them because not all Z2 comes with NC headphones. The Australian version certainly doesn't, I can tell you that. You might want to factor that in when you look at the prices.
In terms of build quality, I think you just need to play with the odds. Mine is 14w18 without any issue, yet some people with phones around the same batch are complaining about gaps and whatnot.
Someone was posting about a deal on eBay, Z2 for only US$599. I doubt you get warranty out of those resellers on Amazon anyway since those phones are not going to be the US domestic model. Why not go for the cheapest? (well, possibly cheapest)
