Any US Sellers Have Xperia ? - XPERIA X1 General

I have orders in with 2 places, but so far they are back ordered until the end of the month .. That's just 2 weeks, why does it feel like a lifetime ?

T-Mobile Relax 35 (12 month) 3 Months FREE Insurance £14.99
T-Mobile Relax 50 (12 month) 3 Months FREE Insurance £109.99
I saw some errors like this that companies have honoured.
WalMart (Asda) did something silly with the price of digital cameras, but they chose to make the deal to those who bought them because it was good PR and their mistake.
Maybe some of you guys can go buy them for £15, then sell them to us for £100?
I ordered a MDA pro on flext25 with web n walk online
and After waiting 2 weeks for T-Mobile web sales to get any stock in of MDA Pro's I have given this £14.99 offer a try,
whats the worst they can do, cancel the order?
a few years ago I got a pair of kodak dx3700's for peanuts in a simalar deal so there is hope ;-)
Lets see who delivers first as a two week delay by T-Mob gives me grounds to cancel the web order if this company can deliver next day.
Stu.. the bagman..
And thanks very much Jimp for the heads up....
I paid £14.99 for my SPV M5000 as an upgrade on Orange. Just gave them the usual speil about leaving for another network...Left me with some cash for my 4 gig SD card :lol:
Jai
I took the liberty of ordering one earlier this morning at the excellent price.
They've changed the price now to reflect the typo.
I got mine on T-mobile in the Netherlands. 9,99 euros for the MDA Pro if I took out a 2 year flex contract at 30 euros a month.
They also included a free 512MB card (part of the standard deal).
Seemed good to me!
They did not honour it :-(
And I was not in the mood to get stroppy
Oh well I will have to wait for T-mobile websales to get stock back in.
Stu..

Xperia from Play.com

Hi, i am new to this forum. I am just wondering has any UK users here got their Xperia from Play.com. If so, how long did it take to deliver to you?
Many thanks =)
Yeah, I did. Took about 4 working days from time of placing the order.
It takes a few days due to the postage being 'free'.
ok. Thanks a lot. Just placed my order with handtec
I see the price on there has already fallen a bit. Hopefully leaving it until after Christmas could find it for a good price.
Interestingly the Touch HD has gone up in price on there again.
bought mine from play.com in silver, came in a few days. play.com is one of the best online shops

Best vendor to buy a sim free Touch HD from?

I am looking to buy one sim free but will return it for a complete refund if there are any dead pixels or other faults etc. So which vendors have people have good experiences with, particularly on the no quibles refund department?
Play.com (currently one of the cheapest inc 4% quidco discount)
Devicewire
Clove
Handtec
Expansys (though they are Expansive at the moment)
any others?
well, clove.co.uk is a good choice. but as you see. there is completely no vendors could guarantee no dead pixels. they only guarantee 0-3.

I know that, but they are bound by law (long distance selling, I believe) to offer a full refund, without the buyer needing to have a reason as long as it is within the first 7 days. So I was thinking I would return it and say I didnt like the device if it did happen to have any dead pixels.
I wanted to know which vendors people have had good experience with in getting full refund and any to avoid.
I have had excellent experience more than once with Clove Tech.
Before I got the excellent HTC HD I bought a Samsung Omnia (rubbish) and Clove took it back no questions asked.
Their service is v. fast and prices are OK.
Got mine from Play, arrived next day, no dead pixels. Expansys' price for the sim free HD is an insult.
Edit: actually just checked their price it has dropped down to £549.99 it was £604 a couple of days ago, still play is £50 cheaper.

Hi there, did you get an 8GB micro SD card in the box from Play.com, their website doesn't mention it, but Clove's does.
according to the other topic on this subject(lists places where you in get sim free, in order of price), carphone warehouse are doing it on O2 PAYG for £450(instore not online).
Is there any vendor out there that has a HD for under 700 bucks? I want one but its expensive and heck. . .
Will have to check out the Carphone warehouse deal, have a feeling it will be all sold out though. Anyone have any experience of Devicewire as a company, they seem to have reasonable terms and conditions regarding non faulty returns, and they price match too.
My advice is just dont buy one..in saying this Im only thinking of you and the fact that if after the seven days you had a dead pixel from where im standing I could just see you cutting your wrists
I know it might sound amazing but the truth of the fact is that in todays lcd technology there is still a chance not matter what that you might endup with dead pixels and that just a fact that you will have to live up to
Mine actually aparently came with a couple of dead pixels at from day one and tbh they where neglegible but now after about three weeks they seem to have resurected!! ALELUIAH!!
like the first guy said espansys or mobileplanet which are one in the same... it may look higher in price but u get everything but a hoslter and or case for it, most sites ive seen will say there adding the 8gig sd card for extra money or for free but mobileplanet will protect u if anything happens as far as the phone lockin up on u from a master rest
Bought one
Ended up buying one from Handtec in the end, delivered next day and no dead pixels thankfully. The Carphone warehouse didn't have one in any of their branches nor did they know when they will be getting any more (so pretty useless).
Got mine from ebay...
If you are experienced with ebay, then due to the currently low value of the british pound, it is the cheapest to get it from ebay.co.uk.
I got mine (including shipping) for ~595 USD.
That is in Europe with VAT.
Also, I wouldn't care that much about "simfree".
You can unlock it @ htccode.com for 18 euro...

That's a really good idea! It dramatically reduced the cost that I was expecting for the HD, now I would have paid $720 now its like $603.
Goto Carphone Warehouse.. Then ask to buy the phone with an O2 Pay as you Go Sim.
They will sell it to you for £440 + a £10 top up for the O2 sim.
Got mine just before christmas with this deal and no waiting for delivery from anywhere
The phone comes unlocked and I have a spare unused payg sim card now.
Thats if they have stock. In the first store I went into they didnt even know this deal was available but then they had no stock, but they did a search for other nearby stores with phones available for me and it was only a short drive away.
As I mentioned in post no 12 not a single branch of carphone warehouse had any in stock, when the guy checked from the branch I went to, and they didn't know when they would be getting any more. Obviously due to it being such a good deal. You are one of the lucky ones to have got in there early.
Carphone Warehouse can order over the phone for next day delively

Not with this phone they can't. That's what I was told by the 2 branches I went to anyway.

[Q] Price of Nexus S Flipkart Mystry!!

I am from India. The price here in retail stores is around 28,000 rupees..or sometimes even 30,000. This is the same I9023 which fits a S-LCD display.
But the price on flipkart.com is 19,999 rupees only. Why is it so? if it need to be less by a thousand or so i would not have been amazed.
I would like to know if these are 100% brand new or refurbished phones..
plz help me out i want to buy nexus s but am confused...
Ex customers of flipkart what do u say??...
Thanks in advance..
The price of the NS has fallen by quite a bit in the past couple of days. And it's not just Flipkart, a lot of 'reputed' online web sites have the same price, in some instances, a little less too.
Go right ahead !!

The drop in price was mainly due to the release of Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation for around 30K. Also,the price of Nexus S was around 25k less than a week ago.
I'd rather suggest letsbuy, they have listed the same at 19k, and you can get your hands on a brand new nexus s for ~17k (after applying discount coupons).

Coupons?? we can just apply one coupon code right??
i found the one with 1000 disc... couldnt find better...u hav any better options??
I got mine on flipkart for 19999. Good service.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Only go for cash on delivery on letsbuy. Donot pay them in advance. Their customer care is non-existant, they do-not answer calls. Best way around this is COD.
On another note the price drop is surprising, I'd say the primary reason being lack of sales in India. Its a dev phone, most people go for the flashier looking Samsungs and HTCs.
Nexus S never had a chance here, NFC is pointless, there's barely 2% population using credit cards.
I'd bought mine for 27K a month ago. I never bought from flipkart.com but many people say they sell exactly as they on the website. I can vouch for Letsbuy.com, as I've bought two or three things from them.
Bought from Letsbuy.com. Ordered on 21st night, reached on 24th. Tracked the shipment through the 3 days on aramex.com... Cost me 18.8k.. How did u manage ~17k!!?

Pre-Orders come with $200+ headset MDR-100ABN

Was waiting for the pre order item and here it is; MDR-100ABN
It was already a fair price for what you get without the headset, but now I'm sold and pre ordered mine. Often the xperia's get an expensive pre order item but when the promotion is over they barely drop in price at all, so either pre order or wait up to 6 months before you are in the sweetspot again price wise.
What do you think of this promotion?

Sounds like even a better deal. What company did you preorder with or did you go through Sony directly?

I went for the best service webshop in my country, because pre order prices are all the same while usually you pay a premium for their service so not a hard choice.
I have reached out to Unlocked-Mobiles to see if they are doing this promotion, will let you know when I receive a reply. I think Clove will be doing it from reading between the lines on another query they answered for me.
1&1 in Germany (and another company, think it was called OS?) have opened up preorders and say that all orders up to 31st May will get the headphones for free. They are giving a phone delivery date of June.

1&1, Vodafone, O2 - basically 3 of the 4 big Telecommunications companies in Germany offer this preorder deal. Also some shops and Sony Germany aswell.
In Poland the offer is limited by the number of sets.
Edit
After 2 days promotion is closed. Only in GSM networks like Orange is still active.

Sony UK preorders have opened and they are throwing in the MDR-NC750 earphones as a promotional item.
Bit gutted by this, as the Bluetooth headset the Germans are getting are worth over 3 times as much - if you're going to over a promotion to various countries then you should really make it the same product, or you're just going to invite complaints!

Damn, feelsbadman.
I'm ordering mine in two days, when the pricecut kicks in for a certain carrier and I'll be able to get 10gigs/month for two years long for a total of 100 euro's, including the mdr-100abn with my phone.
I never thought I'd ever buy a subscription, but it's simply cheaper when I do the math...
749 xzp & 8 euro a month for 500mb pre-paid.
Or
409 xzs & 17 euro a month 10gb subscription. (2year)
Wonder where to spend all those gigabytes on, I could get half of them full maybe but all 10?
But who knows what the future brings.

Also would they honour the warranty in the UK? Plus you'd get a two pin charger not UK plug

The plug is not important as I already have one for my Z5 Premium.
Sony do a EU warranty so they should honour warranty in UK.

According to the terms and conditions the headphones are only for the residents of Germany, so even if you do get the phone shipped over, you won't be able to claim for the headphones (you have to send your receipt and claim separately, they won't come at the same time as the phone).

Count me out for the xz premium then, such a shame Sony! Now I shall wait until September/October.
Just to add you get a Bluetooth speaker (screenwriter) not sonys high end one unfortunately. But yes I still would of preferred the wireless headphones Germany are getting. .
In Norway we have two offers, XB30 Speaker or MDR-1000X Headphone.
Bought with the XB30, maybe sell it and buy a XB40 instead.
In Ireland carriers are giving a set of MDR 10RC headphones with pre order. No idea what kind of quality or tier they are. Ordered mine today.
We have the same offer in Romania, in the official Sony store, xzp + MDR-100ABN
