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.
Can all the people who bought one post where and how much you paid for it. so others can purchase. ive searched google but all i get is the regular version .
thanks
Purchased a few phones and other things from here and can say they provide an easy and fast transaction, though dont know about International warranty and just a small word of caution Techoni are another large retail site but their customer service is bloody awful to say the least!
I bought mine of Ebay.
I wouldn't recommend using ebay if you're new. But if you have experience with Ebay then buy your phone from there by all means.
Recently I've seen Touch HD's go for about $900 AUS b.new in box on ebay.
That's way cheaper than any retailer that I know of.
Hell i got my Telstra one cheaper than any retail price here in Canada (all of them are selling the T8282 version rather than the T8285).
Bought mine on ebay as well. www.ebay.com.au This is an Aussie ebay site specifically to Australia. You still need to verify that it is an telstra touch hd you are getting. The T8285 and not a UK or Asian T8282 version. Let them know were you are from and if they will sell it to you from outside of Australia. I checked with five different sellers and three would sell to me in the US. I ended up getting one for $1070 AU dollars or around $730 US dollars. I ended up paying around $55 US dollars for Fedex priority international shipping and It got here in about 4 days.
Here is a link for one on ebay.au for $1000 AU which is about $686 US and it is a 850 mhz/T8285 version.
Again, a lot of the touch hd's on the Aussie ebay site are still T8282 UK versions. You have to do some digging to find out which one it is.
Love my telstra touch hd.
I bought mine from personaldigital9 on ebay and paid a little under $900 for it. I got received it in about three days super fast shipping. Very good seller.
Telstra
Directly from Telstra $1098
I also bought mine from personaldigital9, but i called and ordered over the phone... mine arrived in 3 days as well and is working great!

As a Corporate Customer Telstra give us discount pricing over the full retail pricing so yes our outright price is less than the advertised price of $1499.
I bought a Telstra T8285 from an Australian eBayer. He is selling brand new phones for $1000 AUD (around $800 USD) right now. The price is still negotiable. The guy responds to your questions nicely and quickly, and the shipping is fast too. If you are interested, please send me email at [email protected]

I'm having a lot of trouble locating one of these. It's currently out for AT&T correct?
Not on newegg or amazon.
For those of you using this as a phone as well.. could you give me feedback on how you like it? Do you use a bluetooth headset? If so, what brand/model?
Please take some time to read previous threads on this.
after doing a bit more research heres what i've found (cant post links bc im a new user):
ebay - 629.00 - 7 day return policy - 1 year seller warranty.
amazon - 659.99 - no warranty
not on any major sites (other than amazon) such as newegg and crutchfield, or bestbuy.
the ebay deal > amazon (obviously).
surprised its not sold by these major retailers... what gives?
also, its factory "unlocked" meaning it isnt carrier specific?

Negri - ~$580 with shipping
https://negrielectronics.com/samsun...gb-wifi-only-black-open-box.html#.T2n_38US1Ng
Craigslist
That's where I got mine at a ridiculously low price. $400 with a 2 yr square trade warranty. It was purchased from Negri.
I've seen other listings on Craiglist as well for lower than that Negri price.
OK.... IF you have AT&T already (smart phone with data), then you can get the International version of the tab. (6800)
AT&T and T-Mobile currently DOES NOT offer therse in there product line..
BUT They do work on those carriers..
.And the phone parts works too as well as internet, txt and mms messaging.
Verizon DOES carry them, but there is no phone capabilities built in . So no phone, txt or mms with Verizon
Here's a thread on where to buy in the USA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468325
The Negri link that maverick 777 posted is for the WI-FI version only..
That device WILL NOT give you phone, txt or mms capabilities.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525108
If you want the phone etc with using your existing sim card from your smart phone with data plan with AT&T or T-mobile...
Then you need to get the international version with quad band etc
So I just remove my AT&T sim card out of my smart phone and jam it in my 6800 tab and BAM!!! Now I have a 7.7 inch screem smart phone!!
As far as using it for a phone.. it's cool IMHO, but you'll read where others distain the look and feel of a 7.7 inch phone..
I get along with it just fine...

.good luck with your decision

i just read that negri isnt reliable. can someone who bought from there give insight?
edit: After reading the links, Negri is obviously reliable. There still wasn't a definite answer about the 'white' back and the 'silver/black' back. Any insight?
I'd say call Negri directly... may as well start at the source..
They're 800 number is in the web page..
I got mine there.. still waiting on the USA adapter for the charger though they promised it was in the mail twice now.
They should be able to tell you if they have any white ones..
Good luck
.
I believe that Negri lists white and silver models separately on their site (and they have different price). So you can order the one you want. When I was ordering, the white ones were back-ordered.
I bought my GT 7.7 (and a Nokia N9) from Negri and was very satisfied with both orders.
Negri Most Reliable
I bought both my Note and 7.7 from Negri. They seemed to have inventory before most, and always comfortable to buy a product from a Company in the U.S. (Las Vegas) They shipped same day and delivery exactly when they said. I will buy my Note 10.1 from Negri when available. Both units previously purchased were international, which is best if you want to spend the extra money.
My experiences allow me to highly recommend Negri as your source vendor.
Negri has the 6810 for only $498.50. Sucks I just paid $572.50 less than a month ago!
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to ask that does anyone in the US got the I9500? If anyone of you do, please do let me know. I am waiting for some info on this before buying.

I ordered the I9500 from Negri Electronics. Waiting for shipping. What do you want to know?
Just wanted to know that what is the best place to get them and are they really shipping I9500's rather than unlocked I9505's. I looked up Amazon and Ebay. But the comments on the amazon one's are putting me off. And eBay.. somehow i just don't want to trust for something that worth $800.
Also needed to know a little about the warranty on this. The I9500 would come with a 1 year warranty by default, right?

I have ordered on Negri Electronics for 798 dollars + 54 dollars DHL shipping fee to France.
Oh so you are shipping it to France! I thought you were in US!

Yes. Europe doesn't offer I9500, so the only way is to import from USA or other county. And yes, the warranty will be US 1 year warranty
I am willing to pay a little more up front because in the long run, it would be cheaper for me. I checked contract phones, and they are coming up to $120 a month for AT&T (unlimited talk/text + 3GB LTE). I can easily wrap it up in the in $60 by sticking with my AT&T prepaid. Plus i am not speed freak when it comes to internet. Most of the time am at home with Wi-Fi.
My only concern is warranty. Where do i get my issues fixed when i have an international version. I hope Samsung USA would be willing to take it in!
I got mine from Expansys which I can confirm is the 9500. Used them before a few times without any issues and returned a DOA to them a couple years ago without drama which was exchanged for another (same) unit. I'm not too worried about the warranty as a year is all I need and my credit card doubles it anyways. I have never had to use that warranty however so I cant claim to know how it plays out in that regard. I'm pretty sure its not going to be as easy as walking into a local carrier store and dropping the old broken phone on the counter and leaving with a new one.
I brought mine from ebay for 699 USD and posted out to Spain. LIke other buyers here from Europe the local version is the i9505. But the I9500 in my eyes was worth it. (Slightly faster and better battery) HSDPA 42.2 Mbps is fine for me and I dont have LTE where I live.
No issues, well apart from a spec of dust under the screen! I'm just going to put up with it I think, but have contacted Samsung Spain to see if anything can be done. No doubt they will tell me to deal with Samsung USA.
Well the price of Negri electronics are a little more reasonable, than cellhut.com and expansys.com.
I have used All Samsung Galaxies including S4 and using HTC one currently(AT&T Model). I really liked the G2. I am very desperate to buy this phone. So this thread is mainly to share the places where you can buy this phone, coupons if any. I am looking for AT&T compatible version only since i want to take advantage of the LTE. We can share places for International Version also.
Hopefully this an Unlocked AT&T Version Pre-order($619 only):

Good post
Thanks for these information.
Mediamarkt in Germany lists it for 499€ http://www.mediamarkt.de/mcs/product/LG-G2-weiß,48353,464028,900020.html?langId=-3
It's the 16 gb version though. Compared to galaxy s4 which costs 519€ I'd say we are in for a very nice price like the optimus g when it came.
Where buy NY
Hello,
My girlfriend goes to NY in november, so where i can buy LG G2 cheaper?
I saw in bestbuy but, is very expensive. Here in Brasil is much more, i know, but, in amazon i found about 200 dollar less...and i want a physically store...Some Help?
I got mine on Sunday for $49 from Best Buy. First they price-matched the Amazon.com price of $99 (down from their price of $199). Then they had a promotion going with the G2 where if you traded in any old working smartphone they'd give you a $50 gift card to use towards the purchase. Couldn't pass up that deal.
