So what is the lowes price so far?

There were a number of topics on this but they all have been pushed far down.
So what is the lowest price at the moment? And from whom?

Here in the Netherlands, you can get one for €470 total, by using a 0-minute 12months subscription from KPN. That's a one-time €320 purchase and 12 months of €12.50.
Not bad eh?
But you probably don't live here anyway...

Just been told by an HTC dealer in London they are about to increase to £549 sim free due to the dollar. I paid £529 last week.

Nop... I'm looking for sim free and those that can delivered to the US.

Paid 505 pounds including shipping for mine. Getting it tomorrow

Paid £450 for mine.. then again I managed to get it at cost price due to 'connections' (no not dodgy)
But the cheapest OFFICIAL place is via play.com if you use a 5% off code = £475 delivered

£120 + 12 months £30 contract, minus £40 quidco = £440
Needed a new contract anyway, so pretty good timing.

I'm in the UK and got it sim free for £506 (about 605 euros) incl del from www.insight.com/uk

Got mine from X1838 on Ebay and it came to $650 shipped to the USA when I used the live.com cashback. And it arrived really fast, ordered on thursday, received monday morning.
If you wait a little bit I bet using the same kind of deal i'm sureyou can get it for $600 shipped. Not too shabby, eh?

I got it for $470 after 25% live.com cashback and 10% paypal coupon.
There is a seller on ebay who is putting them up for 722.45, which seems to be the cheapest of all vendors.

Only £474.99 Delivered (Sim Free)
http://www.laughingdeals.com/all-de...cked-mobile-phone-pound-549.99-delivered.html
Play.com have changed the price of this handset a few times - it was £549, then £499, then went back up to £519 before coming down again.
£474.99 is the price you pay after the RAC discount voucher.

Got it for €545 sim-free (italian rom) on nanolandia.net
That would be £455 or $686.

Not sure I understand how do you do this thing with live.com? Can you give more details, if you don't want to put it here please PM me. Thanks

well that was easy, did your cashback showed up in your MS account right away or after some time?

I got my HD for 475 pounds including tax and delivery. If that is what we are talking about.

I would coinsider selling mine at cist if anybody here wants one.

i ask my self the same question,
what are the steps to do the live.com thing... i do have the 10% paypal thing so i guess it should be used on this
whats the live.com procedure ?
edit: well just went to live.com then it took me to ebay and yeah its all clearly stated in the t&c once you click on the image for microsoft cashbacks

475 quid. If it is unlocked and you aren't using some shady source or connected that's about what it is worth.

423 pounds from Handtec - no VAT seeing I live in Australia

Best Place to Buy TD2 in UK!!!

I was just about to buy the Dimond2 from Expansys UK last night. Yesterdays price was £384 but today its gone up to £410....now whats all that about, didnt think they were open or operated on sundays?!?
Guys where would be the best place to buy a Sim Free TD2 in the Uk? without having to get a contract, even though that might be the cheaper option really dont want another contract.
I know devicewire were giving away a free car kit but not anymore :-(

http://www.clove.co.uk/
I ordered mine from New York, received it in two business days & paid a total of 366.00 EUR. Not sure if the price went up though?

thanks mate.....devicewire are currently doing free delivery and at £395 seems to be the cheapest!
unless someone knows of anything better?!?

mobilephonesdirect have them for £372.99 + about £4 p&p but not getting stock till 7th April
or Insight have them for £379.549 + about £10 p&p
They're the best I've seen looking around.

Do you mean £366.00 Pounds? I got mine from there for £357. But since we live in the US we don't pay the VAT taxes.
Clove has it for £393.30 inc VAT.

inkino.com.uk

Expansys don't have them in stock. Just cancelled the order with them.

Cheapest
http://handtec.co.uk/product.php/1868/htc-touch-diamond-2--diamond2-

I've got one for sale in the Marketplace and would be willing to go less than my original asking price there in case anyone is interested.
Thanks.

Play.com
Go to play.com the phone costs £399.00
Then go to www.topcashback.co.uk, register on the website and then search play.com. It's a website that provides cashback on internet purchases from major retailers and its all legit.
Purchase the phone from play.com through topcashback and you get 3.5% cash back on mobile phone purchases and the cost works out at £385 plus free delivery. The cash back is payble in about 2 months. That's how I got mine.
Btw topcashback is a great website I use it for all my internet purchases and to date I've got about £60 in cash back. Oh and no I don't work for them lol.

bro www.handtec.co.uk it's secure shop? anyone have buyed from their ?

Got mine for £ 316.61 ex VAT from Amazon.co.uk free delivery but I didn't have to pay VAT as I'm in the Channel Islands, including VAT it was £ 364.10 with free delivery still one of the cheaper options. Shame they are now charging closer to £ 400 inc VAT. It went up £ 28 since I bought mine last week.

Got mine (Sim Free) from www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk
T-Mobile Combi 25 12 month contract + £121.99 = £421.99 over 12 months including 150 minutes & 150 texts each month.

Nexus One total Cost to UK?

For those who have brought a Nexus One in the UK from the google site, how much was it in total when you went to check out (phone + delivery + any tax)? I presume it was in dollars. What was the converted price in GBP shown on the credit card statement?
Will there be an additional import tax when you recieve the phone, is it just import tax or is import tax and VAT?
Many Thanks

http://whatnewmobile.com/android/go...es-it-cost-in-the-uk-349-plus-a-little-extra/

£410 is pretty good if you look at the price of Milestone, HD2 or even Hero in the UK.

Ordered from UK
Placed order last night at around 12:02am minus the optional UK adapter and engraving. Got order confirmation email straight away and noticed £338.34 charged to my CC this morning. Now for the VAT charge when it arrives...

Well say you get hit with both 17.5%(VAT) + 6%(Import) taxes and they set the phones value as £338.34 + 17.5% (£59.20) + 6% (20.30) you will pay a grand total off £417. So say you get charged £420
so in UK the NexusOne :-
Nexus One = £420 (at worst you may not get taxed)
In comparison to :-
Iphone 3GS 16GB = £450 (from O2)
HTC Hero = £356 (from amozon.co.uk)
HTC HD2 = £513 (from amazon.co.uk)
Hope This Helps

One thig is, if you dont get charged any tax (possible - as iv imported a couple of things cameras etc. that dint get taxed ) the nexus one will be less than the HTC Hero ...... wich would be very very cool

I was told we don't pay the 6% import tax on mobile phones?
And they will only add import tax on the charger if you ordered one.
But looking on here it says Mobile phones (excluding built in GPS, TV) - Free - Goods are liable to VAT on importation at the standard rate (17.5 %).
http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channels...ent&id=HMCE_PROD_009989&propertyType=document
Still cheaper than most unlocked phones in the UK! Was going to get a milestone but this is cheaper

Anyone know how long it will take once you get a DHL tracking number and shipping notification? Got my notification at 4am GMT.

Update: someone on another thread thinks if you ordered in the UK yesterday it should arrive tomorrow (7th)!! Cool! Wonder who will be first in the UK to receive it? Exciting! Although I'm prepared to be dissapoknted compared to the iPhone as I was with the Diamond, HD2 and Hero.....well we'll see .

Get it delivered to work and let work pay for the taxes

Now that's an idea! Pity can't make it to the office cos of the snow though!!

How do you end up paying the VAT?
With Royal Mail I just get a letter and have to pick up and pay for my parcel at the sorting office!
No idea were my local DHL is or do you have to pay on your doorstep?

Good question. Last time I ordered something for work I got no notification, they just held it in customs and I had to call to find out why it was delayed and then pay over the phone before customs would even release it! Hope this isn't the case this time...

Yo iv got one on order but iv gotten no notification yet of any shipping or charges to my account :-( iv e-maild google but no reply.
Any sugestions ??

Will there be any fiddling with the phone if it's from the US - or will it just work once the SIM goes in... thinking along the lines of Google maps(navigation?) and the app market...
...now once working xvid codecs are available I will officially wet my pants

Best deal...who's selling the note for less?

I'll be getting this phone with in the next month, but I was curious what outlets you guys are aware of that are selling the phone.
I saw it on amazon 2 weeks ago for $900.00. Today its around $700, but I wanted to know if you guys knew of anywhere with even better deals.
It's a long shot I know, but I figure it is worth asking. Thanks

I would like to know this too. Seems the 'Hands Down Cheapest Place to Buy' thread is dead
Every day I scour XDA, Google, Ebay, etc looking for prices. I'm in Canada. With taxes,etc I think I'm looking at about $800 more or less (can anyone confirm that?). I think after Christmas I may go for this price but ideally I'm looking to pay about $700 more or less total. Then I'm worried about screen issues or a dead pixel which happened with the Nexus One I ordered from the States so I don't really want to ship it back overseas if this happens which it may judging by other threads...
So I'm looking for it to come down about another $100 but dont know if/when this will happen.
And ideally would like it to be released in Canada or even the US so I don't have to get it shipped which may lower that cost? But don't know if or when that will happen.
Then there is the fear that Samsung will discontinue it and I'll never get one or the prices will shoot up or something?

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/5504/samsung-galaxy-note--16gb--sim-free-unlocked-
About $670 without VAT. From what I've seen in other threads, it doesn't apply if you're outside the EU. I think that might take the cake as the cheapest?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...RDX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322262246&sr=8-1
Also Amazon has a couple different sellers with the SGN in stock. Around low 700-750s. Most of these are in the US which would be better in case of a defect.

I ordered mine from HandTec when they had it listed briefly for £418.99 plus £14.99 shipping, for a total of £433.98, (which PayPal converted to $697.46), but HandTec has put the price back to £434.90 + shipping since I ordered. May still be the best price, however.
OTOH, Amazon now has a Prime 2-day shipping seller for $739. I'd pay the extra $40 or so bucks to have Amazon peace of mind if I had seen a price that good 4 days ago.

The new issue with handtec is that fedex will charge you 30 $ 1-2weeks after u get the phone

So because I'm in Canada I'm looking at around $800
But if I was in the US or UK I'd be looking at around $700

Ditto . . . .

Hands Down Cheapest...
Well I still think Clove.co.uk is the best place to buy at this time simply because they're including a matching Samsung OEM Flip Case free! Also, being a commodity and having the price fluxuate by the hour (literally) keep checking MobileCityOnline.com too!
These two places at one point during the day can hit anywhere from $699 - $729 at the absolute lowest. But keep in mind Clove.co.uk INCLUDES the free Samsung OEM Flip Case. For some that's a deal maker plus most other outlets are selling this same flip case for $65 on average.
That is why if you catch Clove on the lower end of price fluxuation it's such a good deal. You won't go wrong choosing either one of these retailers that's the good news. The only possible bad news is at what price you'll end up paying for your Note.
Anyway you do it - your going to LOVE THIS PHABLET!
Abso - ****ing - lutly love it... quote me on that too.
Happy Hunting boys and girls.

Charge $30 for what? FedEx hasn't charged me anything in the States for ordering from Handtec.

By far cheapest place to buy this phone is from India.
You get this phone for about US$ 615-620 range which includes official Samsung flip cover in the package.
If there is significant interest from people in states or UK, some of you guys can get in touch with some ebay.in sellers with good reputation and request him for shipping quote and get him to create a special thread for you guys.
Last time around with SGS2 couple of my mates from US requested a seller from ebay india this way and got him to create a private listing for them and got their SGS2.
Or if you guys trust someone from India around here in these forums, get him to purchase phones and paypal the funds to him.
Note is significantly cheaper here than anywhere else from what I have seen online.

that is a very expensive contract.
Especially taking into account the low amount of minutes and data you get.
Also paying £200 for the phone on top of the £720 is a big slap in the face...
return it and get a 'bigger' contract for less and also only pay a max. of £50 for handset

Waiting, waiting, waiting for the price to come down a bit as I'm willing to pay a bit over $700 here in Canada total with shipping, tax, etc. but not willing to pay a over $800!! Just seems like too much...
