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

Cheapest place for sim free Touch HD

Hi all,
I'm looking to pick up a sim free Touch HD (for use on T-Mobile). Over the past week I've done some research and I've found the following prices:
Carphone Warehouse (bought with O2 simcard) - £440.36 Phone + £10.00 PAYG O2 sim card {TOTAL = £450.36 inc VAT}
PrePayMania.co.uk - £499.99 inc VAT (+ FREE 5 DAY P&P) + 5% QuidCo {TOTAL = £476.18 inc VAT}
TotalPDA.co.uk - £505.99 inc. VAT (+ £9.95 P&P) + 5% QuidCo {TOTAL = £491.84 inc VAT}
Handtec.co.uk - £501.76 inc. VAT (+ £6.95 P&P) {TOTAL = £508.71 inc VAT}
LambdaTek - £505.48 inc. VAT (+ £9.50 P&P) {TOTAL = £514.98 inc VAT}
Clove.co.uk - £527.85 inc. VAT (+ £7.90 P&P) {TOTAL = £535.75 inc VAT}
Play.com - £474.99 ex VAT (with RAC voucher below) (+ FREE P&P) + 4% QuidCo {TOTAL = approx £546 inc VAT before QuidCo)
Expansys - £544.99 inc VAT (+ £6.95 P&P) {TOTAL = £551.94 inc VAT}

Handtec beats LambdaTek by a few pounds if that makes a difference....I just bought mine from them, ordered late Friday night and it was delivered in USA Monday morning with cheap shipping:
501.76 inc VAT
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1464/htc-touch-hd/79acef5c9460ba749d477eb28738e604

Thanks! That's a pretty good price.. Assuming there's not a lower price I'll order one and get on with selling my trusty old Kaiser and brand new Vario IV to fund it

mlalahoi,
How much total they charge you in USD (including shipping, and VAT). Do they charge us for VAT even we are in US? I would like to know the total cost so I won't be surprise.
Thanks!

Ordered mine yesterday from http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/ and its free delivery £489.99.
They are out of stock atm though so
Otherwise play.com is 499.99 and its in stock...

Here's a great deal for the HTC Touch HD
Only £474.99 Delivered
http://www.laughingdeals.com/all-de...cked-mobile-phone-pound-549.99-delivered.html

Yea im just looking for the phone itself.........how much in U.S. Dollars.....im a native TEXAN also

Looks like we might have a potential winner here.
Does Play.com charge VAT on this item? If so the Touch HD could be:
£474.99 delivered inc. VAT = £403.74 excluding VAT. And it might be possible to get 0.5% quidco on top of that too.
Excluding VAT is the price VAT registered businesses and non-EU purchasers would pay (although I'm not sure about shipping costs for outside the UK mainland with Play.com).
Can we get the device any cheaper?

Damn wish I saw that 5% off play.com deal

I have one available posted on HowardForums.

Currently it looks like Play.com has the best deal available, I wonder why they're not showing as out of stock like most of the other retailers!
I might order from them, although it largely depends on what T-mobile can offer first! Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions, I think we've got the definitive list. Maybe this thread should be stickied for a week or two.

Actually, the Play.com voucher deal only works if you are an RAC breakdown cover customer.
And even if you are, consider that the prepaymobiles through quidco is an extra £24.46 off, making it £464.89 with free delivery.

I got mine from Gumtree.com. Paid £390 for orange version (although completely unbranded) and paid £15 online to unlock. Grand total £405. Completely unlocked and unbrandanded generic software. Only small orange logo printed on battery cover.

Good price as they're going on eBay for around £500. Was yours second hand?..
via PrePayMobiles, it's £421 ex VAT with £24.46 QuidCo = £396.54 which looks like the best possible retail price going for a new Touch HD. Even if you're a consumer and/or not VAT registered, PrePayMobiles is only £489 - £24.46 Quidco.

The guy who sold it to me literally got it as an upgrade the day before. Phone was brand new with all accessories.
I recommend anyone in UK to look on Gumtree for sale section.

I've been trying to get in touch with PrePayMania, but they're very slow at getting back to me. I did get a message that they were out of stock, but they don't know when they're getting more in. Which is odd.
Anyway, theorder.co.uk - who knows? Why not order with Play.com? They're the same price (and cheaper if you have RAC membership).

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

Get a refund from Amazon on your Moto G

Merry christmas everyone, I just wanted to let you know that if you bought your Moto G on Amazon, and its price is now lower than what you paid for it, you might be able to get a refund on the price difference. I contacted Amazon, on their chat thing, talked it through with the assistant, and I'm getting 5.18 GBP for the price difference.

16gb is showing as £175 on Amazon UK for me
Motorola seemed to have bumped it up not decreased.

Just bought an 8GB from amazon.co.uk for 135.36 quid an hour ago. It was 142 quid last night at around 12 (GMT+1).

Its a bit more if you order from overseas. I dunno why, though. It seems I'm paying for shipping I'm not paying. Still, I can live with 5 quid extra. Its 45 quid cheaper than if I buy it here in Sweden anyway.
If the phone is 129.95 and I qualify for super saver shipping. I have no idea why the total is 135.36 when the shipping charges are 0 quid. VAT maybe? I'm supposed to pay 5% more than the brits.
