so its a "legit" company limited and registered in the uk
however, its odd that for a UK company all their prices are in dollars and not very professional to have a company email address as [email protected] (havent they ever heard of email redirection?) or a company phone number as : +44 795-175-0314 (UK mobile number)
but if it is real and so are the fones, i might order 10 at $4400 and sell then on ebay at £400 each thus making myself a tidy £1000 profit for doing squat
buyer beware i feel
440.00 USD = 303.426 GBP delivered, a HUGE £140 cheaper than a massive company like CPW. something dont smell right

Wouldnt touch it with a barge pole.....
Hi Guys,
I am in the UK & yes we have a long established co' called phones4u, with an 0800 freephone no' (the tv adverts are pants though<S>), but....
They are www.phones4u.CO.UK, not .COM
After having a shuftie, this is definately a spoof site, so beware.
Cheers, Shane

In carphonewarehouse in UK I might buy HTC TOUCH HD for 440 pounds?

that is the phones4u web site and it is .co.uk and not .com just try google and see but ,still looks to good to be true at that price

i would suggest saying it is a spoof site is possibly libellous as it is a genuine 'companies house' registered company, although i agree the name is so close as to have people stumble across it by mistake if looking for the larger more advertised company

How does phones4ultd.com suddenly become phones4u.co.uk?
Are people really that gullible?

this is pure ****, I tried contact "them" if they really exist. And I got nothing, no mail no phone
and from the looking of the site you can directly tell that
stay away ^_^

You misunderstand - the company that's been found at companies house is PHONES4U, a large and reputable retailer here in the UK. Their website is www.phones4u.co.uk
The "company" referred to by the OP is www.phone4ultd.com - a quick glance at that site confirms it's absolutely no relation to Phones4u, and is simply trying to trade on exactly this kind of confusion. "Phone4ultd" is NOT companies house registered and doesn't appear to be UK based at all - given the unlikely pricing and attempt to confuse, I'm quite comfortable calling it out as a scam site, and if "Phone4ultd"'s solicitors want to get in contact over my libel I'll look forward to hearing from them!
EDIT: just realised that at www.phone4ultd.com/info.HTML they're actually quoting Phones4u's companies house registration - make no mistake, this is a SCAM. For genuine info on the real Phones4u (including that companies house registration number again) see www.phones4u.co.uk/info/info_home.asp

Is that O2 pay as you go? I have an O2 simplicity contract that I don't want to change (600mins, 1000txts and unlimited internet for £20pm) and want to buy a Touch HD - and sell my Touch Diamond on eBay.
£440 for a brand new unlocked one sounds very good considering most places are £500+, and the cheapest eBay unlocked / unbranded is about £485

Buying an HD2 Telstra T9193 for $299! Is this real?

Hey so I have been searching for the best place to buy a HD2 T9193 so I can use it on AT&T US 3G network. Everywhere I look, there seems to a consensus of anywhere from $800-1000. Then I find this guy, who's hotmail email address is cherryda78, who is selling them for $299 plus shipping. After emailing him he says would be $30. Here are some of the ads he has up online.
**So apparently I cannot post links because I am a new user. I copied the links to a .txt and attached it to this post. How I do I go about getting verified btw?**
I emailed him and he responded the next day with this. Below is our email thread:
Mr. Cherry Da,
I am interested in purchasing the HTC HD2 phone you have listed here and here (these were links). I have been dreaming of this phone for about 4 months now, and to get it would be just amazing. I know you can unlock the radio and run it on US 3G with AT&T. I do have some questions though. You have the phone listed for $299 USD. Is that correct? It seems much lower than most other sites right now, so I am pleasantly surprised but cautiously skeptical. Could you please provide some more information for me? How come you are offering it at such a great price?
Thank you so much!
YES.

Seems very shady to me, but for $300, I almost want to take the gamble. My question is if anyone has bought a HD2 from this guy, or would buy. Also, what has everyone paid for your phone? And where did you get it?
Thanks!

Telstra doesn't even sell it that cheap... so fishy...
it is either fake or stolen.

Hahaha Western Union or Bank Transfer - so you have absolutely NO recourse when (not if) this transaction goes south.
"Commenwealth" of Australia? Really?
If you want to throw out $330, send it to me instead!
The same guy is selling the Supersonic for €236! Does HTC have a massive leak in their supplychain that they are totally unaware of?

Please don't send this guy your money. The price is huge red flag and the Western Union or bank transfer only is an even larger red flag. If you send this guy your money you'll never see it again and you'll never receive the phone. This is a scam.

Hmm, poor broken english + only accepts western union or bank wire transfer + rediculous low price = SCAM to me. If it sounds to good to be true.....

don't, just ..... don't

Of course it is a scam.

scam.... Run, run very far.

chinese copy, gotta be, put the phrase
HTC TOUCH HD2 T9193 LEO 3G Unlocked USD$299
into google and there are dozens of hits, dollars, euros, and in one the company info is a pda manufacturer in china.

HD2 9193 is the best phone
Telstra charges AU$829.00 outright or AU$80/month for 24 months (but the call rate of Telstra is extremely high).
so $329 is fake or scam

Don't even think about it.
I work for Telstra, and there is no way that anyone can sell a Telstra Branded HD2 for that price. As mentioned earlier, if you buy it outright from a Telstra Shop it costs over A$800. You may be able to find a slightly used one for around A$700 on eBay.

As someone else pointed out,
Commenwealth of Australia, that should of been your first giveaway.

I tell ya, I know you want the phone...We all do but, be careful.
Any one that will not take a credit card for a high dollar purchase
is someone you need to avoid.
Ebay is the best or Amazon. At least you can track your
order by purchase.

Buy it and give us some feedback

buy it,I pay you $350.

Don't do it! My brother did the same thing on a weight machine set that was for $400 n normally it goes for $1200 n he send a money order n never got the weight machine n he couldn't do anything about it. Its a scam!! Don't do it!!

Scam
This definitely sounds like a scam, it will either not arrive and you can say goodbye to your cash, or it will be a cheap imitation. I know someone who bought a iPhone (idiot!) through ebay and it turned out to be some other type of handset with an 'iPhone looking' case. Didn't even look like an iPhone next to a real one.... avoid!

Scam, scam... If you want to get one cheaper, look in XDA's own marketplace (I picked one up for £310, maybe $550)

Thanks everyone

Thanks for the thoughts. I thought it was a scam too, but I figured I would use the power of XDA to be sure.

Shipping to Kuwait

I understand this is not exactly a Nexus S related query, but any help will be appreciated.
I'm not from the US ... live in Kuwait. I've asked a friend to get me the phone as I tried my best to get it ... proxy, bestbuy, paypal ... all of it gave me a lot of NOs.
As per the tracking no. my friend will be getting the phone tomorrow. I've asked him to use it for 2 days to check for the known problems (I've send him a list)
My query/ questions is:
He lives in Saratoga, CA (the phone was shipped from Palatine, IL (almost across). Now, once he has done his testing, I would like him to ship it to an Aramex mailbox I have got in Springfield Gardens, NY (yeah again, all the way back across the US). Can someone tell me which would be the cheapest, safest and yeah quickest way for it to be shipped from CA to New York?
I really don't want to trouble him and tell him to check out which is the cheapest, so if one of you'll know, I'd really appreciate guidance.
Thanks & Cheers

US Postal Service (aka the mail) is the cheapest shipping out there, especially across country.
Fed Ex and United Parcel Service can be a little quicker, but they charge a big premium for it.
If your friend does use Postal Service, tell him to buy the extra insurance coverage...it will be a small amount, and a waste of money in the end, but better to be safe than sorry if it's lost or damaged...
edit: PS, you can go online for any of the big three and check rates yourself, by the way...

Thanks distortedloop
Like you've advised, I'll ask him to go the postal service route with insurance.
Went to the usps.gov site, but could not figure out how things work so gave up on it. Will tell my friend to do it.
Thanks again.

Hmmm...try this link: http://postcalc.usps.gov/
Should take you straight to the Domestic Rate calculator. Enter to and from zip codes, package size/weight, and class of mail.

FedEx Charged me 170 US From states to Kuwait.
I asked in Ebay some told me 125 some 150.
I payed 170 cause combined price was cheaper than the others.
Peace.

Customs Requirements for importing SGS2 from UK to UAE

guys, i know its not everyones' rquirement, but i have a doubt which needs to be clarified before i get into trouble....
the thing is, i am importing SGS2 from UK to UAE, & my friend is coming back to India on 15th... i ordered it through him, he said handtec replied to him through mail saying that the SGS2 reaches his address in UAE in 2-5 days.... i hope it does...
my doubt is, as i have read somewhere in this forum that dubai customs rules have changed a bit & they do require some things to be fulfilled before SGS2 parcel reaches UAE on time safely without undue delay at the port of entry in UAE.....
so what i am asking you guys/girls is that if anyone of you have imported SGS2 from UK to UAE(Abudhabi), what are all the things we need to do from our side apart from ordering it & paying the money through credit card ????
i mean, like this......
1. shipment Product's "Country of Origin".
2. Sender should Mention on invoice, its for "Personal use"
3. HS Code (Harmonized System Code) of the products.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
anyone know any rules or regulations to be followed for the safe & early delivery of SGS2 from UK to UAE ???? will they put tax/ask for money at the port of entry in Dubai for this parcel ???? how much time they need to clear this product & allow the courier service to dispatch the parcel to the mailing address ???
i am very much tensed up, because its already costing Rs.33,500/- + conversion rate of dollar to dirahms & if the customs catch hold of this parcel & ask for money i will be definitely screwed.....
pls guide me & give me proper information about how exactly things work at dubai customs office regarding foreign goods entering their country.... especially from UK...
waiting for your positive inputs fellows..... keep them coming pls..... pray for me & help me get my parcel delivered soon & safely ..... once i get this beauty into my hands, i will definitely post the pics & would dedicate my device for the development purpose od SGS2.. thats a promise guys..... i wanna test it to the max & i hope lot of devs would love to hear that......

Buddy did you get your device ? R u happy with it ? Pls post some pics for us......

Ive ordered several devices including 2 in the past six months from the UK to Dubai and all have made it here with no special instructions to sellers or couriers. YMMV.
My SGS2 from Clove is on the way via DHL and I can update once it arrives.

That's promising...... How much did they charge you for currency conversion ? And which credit card did you use to make purchase ??? How accurate they are in terms of delivery dates which they claim it to be delivered ??? How much did you pay for ur sgs2 from clove ?

Sorry.. been too busy playing with my SGSII to check back
1) Currency Conversion is by your Credit Card issuer and not by the seller. Clove charges in £, gets converted to AED by the bank here.
2) Used a Visa card.
3) Very accurate.
4) £470 (440 for device, 30 for delivery via DHL) - no VAT was charged. However the UAE does charge tax on import which came to approximately AED 230 (£38) if I remember correctly - unfortunately can't find my receipt right now.
Others have pointed out that other vendors may have it slightly cheaper and may even deliver slightly faster but my past experiences with Clove have been very good particularly with their responsiveness by e-mail / phone. Thats important to me particularly if I later have to deal with any warranty issues.
Also note as I mentioned above I gave no special instructions to Clove or DHL and did not run into any problems.
Goodluck.

How to order from Amazon.de and ship to UK?

First of all sorry if this is the wrong section but the Q&A looked more like Note related question rather than ordering assistance.
I am trying to order from Amazon.de and have it shipped to the UK, tried and almost succeeded when i ordered it, a case and a host USB lead. It said it had shipped (all of it) last week but soon after i received an email saying that the Note could not be shipped do to weight problems?
So now i have been screwed on the shipping for the extras and they wont send me the phone, have tried several times but when i get to confirming the order it says the same thing about electronic goods.
My question is for anyone in or around the UK that has received a note from Amazon.de how on earth did you do it lol i have tried emailing and phoning them since i have a German speaker in the house who can help out but nothing back yet in over 5 days

I ordered my Note from Amazon.de a few weeks ago but didnt order extras to avoid any complication. I ordered those from elsewhere and in the uk. My Note arrived in a few days with no difficulties at all.
Try doing the same.

Sadly i have tried that just the note on its own gets the the confirmation section before saying it cannot be shipped to my chosen address (mainland UK) funny thing is i have already had several items from amazon.de throughout the year including some very expensive items and very inexpensive items.
Really want the Note but i refuse to pay the prices some users think are fair in the UK especially for used models, i mean £500 for a USED item when i can get it for £350 :s

Yes the UK prices are a rip off as are the contract prices which is why i went to amazon.de. I must have been lucky as that was my first ever purchase from there.

I successfully placed an order for a white Note via Amazon.de on Tuesday last week and received it without any issues on Friday ...
That's not very helpful to you I know, but just wanted to let you know that even until very recently, orders have been going through fine with them with shipping to the UK ...
For info, I ordered without accessories ...
Hope you get it sorted cos the cost saving is fab

I wonder if they've got wind of people ordering it to save a fortune and put an end to it. I got mine from Amazon.de at the beginning of January for just 410 Euros. It arrived at my house the following day and bizarrely enough even though it came with a Euro mains plug it was shipped via City Link and came from Milton Keynes.
Sorry that doesn't help you.

I'm not sure why anyone is now ordering through German amazon as the price is now €564 around £475 but UK price is now £519 so for £45 more you get UK delivery and UK warranty. . I was gonna order from Germany but due to sgreen problems chose UK and I'm glad I did cos first note had a really bad screen and amazon replaced it and paid for return postage

And worst UK prices have increased. Handtech was selling for £480 when I ordered from Amazon.de.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

Right i went away and tried a few different addresses just in case it was the layout of the address that was messing with the system. Tried 5 different addresses from around the country (friends) and two business addresses (my current and previous) with no luck but i am now thinking it has something to do with what Lakota suggested? as i ordered about £3000 in goods from them before Christmas?
And with a discount i get normally it would mean i would get the Note from from them for around about £350 DELIVERED that's the only reason i am trying to push for this.
Would anybody mind logging into amazon.de and trying to purchase a note for a test? i get as far as choosing an address when it fails so nowhere near checkout? it would make things clear or at least solve an issue because if someone from the UK can still do it, it has to be a problem with the storage of my addresses thats causing the problem.

Just tried the order process again ... I get all the way through to the payment page ... Address went through fine

I order one January 15th, shipped 17th, arrived 19th.
No extras.
Price paid: e546.68 = £441.98 (by my calculation).
Judicous use of Google Translate helped.
Lovely machine. Glad to join this forum.

Looks like Amazon have run out of Notes!
The only links now are to used Notes - 481yoyos! I paid on 450 for a new one.

did you all order new ones? because for used products, the seller can restrict the shipment to Germany.

Yup mine is a brand new white Note ... Amazon.de are showing as having 11 in stock at the moment ...

mine was ordered on the 7th and came on the 9th. you can email custmer service or call them with number given on same webpage. i had to call them a couple of times for replacement. ist ***** hung up on me cause i couldnt speak german. next chap was nice and helpful but phone was out of stock so advised only refund after i sent phon ebcak. but phone worked fine after software update so didnt send it back. having some issues with sd card though, dont know if it is the card as phone works fine without card.
since i had enquired in my email if available for delivery to uk a week or so ago and to let me knw when in stock as i wanted to buy one more note. they emailed me last week saying 1-2 week lead time for delivery to uk so they did get more stock unless they ran out of it again. and yes it was for the black/blue note and not the costlier white one.
call them to sort out your probs. 2 people i spoke to at amazon.de customer service spoke ok english and were helpful but one ***** hung up on me cause i didnt speak german.
wtf yesterday was showing as 503euros now today showing 70euros more!

Which Amazon.de are you looking at?
Amazon have no stock at the moment, Amazon Sellers on the other hand do.
ATELCo are the first seller listed.

i didnt call her a ***** because she couldnt speak english. it was because she didnt pass me on to their english speaking colleagues who deal with international customers bearing in mind i called their separate number for international customers (excluding german, swiss or austrians who have a separate free call back number from amazon.de) at my cost on a number they provide for international customers like me.
if you take the time to amazon.de customer services contact us page, and use the option for phone contact, they will call you for free if you are in germany, switzerland or austria. but for other countries they give another number international customers can call. You are the twunt if you expect a company that gives a separate number for international customers to call from outside germany / austria / switzerland but still speak only german. jerk.
for your information they do have customer service operators that speak english and i spoke to two of them who were good. they also have reps who write back to you in engish and they wrote back to me in english. and they wrote back to me in english by email informing me of new stock as i wanted to buy another note.
twunt yes but thats you sir and not me!
why because they allow me to use my uk account name and passowrd to buy from that website with delivery to the Uk and EU wide warranty and they do have reps thats speak and write english, all that ***** had to do was forward me to one instead of hanging up. That goes against their own customer service moto to provide the best customer service of any company.
rant over.

Right I finally got an email back claiming to not know why I can't order a new note (while in stock) and when I asked why I couldn't order from their warehouse they said they do not ship from warehouses to the uk? I would have though most products make that leap?
Anyway with the prices becoming stupid I guess I will just pass in the note for now since it was going to be replacing my half dead optimistic 2x but it looks like I will be holding on a while longer lol
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys/gals, I will be a note owner some day and.....I'LL BE BACK!!!
