Dear all,
Anyone know or has bought an XDA II in Singapore? Please tell me how much it costs there. Thousand sorries if this has been posted elsewhere earlier
Thank you
xda costs in S'pore
just saw one earlier in the week at the duty free shop at changi airport selling for S$1400.
also read in local magzines that certain resellers have a S$350 buy back (old XDA) offer going at present if one happens to be in downtown.
Official recommended reseller price at Funan shops and most retailers like Harvey Norman, Best Denki is $1528.- Most Funan shops will want to charge you %3 extra if you pay by credit card so go retail shop if you can. I have also seen a shop called Mohammed Mostafa on Serangoon road sell it for $1490.- and they do not charge extra for credit. Good luck.
Dear,
Thank you all of you. Anyway, I'm leaving for Hongkong in the next 2 weeks, please share your info about the price in HK, should any of u know. Thank you in advance
Price of XDA II in Hong Kong is HKD6,688 (or USD860). Available in all the big electronics chain-stores. Don't pay a cent more. You can get it for slightly lower in smaller electronics shops if you are willing to take the risk.
Silly money
I would think twice before spending silly money on the xda II. I'm not convinced that it's that much better than the xda - the camera doesn't seem very good, and everything else seems so similar.
I bought mine at www.mobilefly.com in Singapore.
All I can say is : every body there is professional. It costed me 811 €. The guy I'm in contact with is really doing a tremendous job. I had a problem with the screen 4 days after I received it (a line went off) and he paid for me to send it back there on his charge through FedEx and will send it back to me.
I really recommand them.
price in h.k

sure looks...enticing !!go ahead...
buyers feedback looks ok but I would email & ask reason for selling & confirm that the phone is 100% genuine, purchased by him new, 100% working & has it ever had repair work.
Failure to clarify these points could leave you with a £260 headache ...
Due to some HD2s suffering from some problems & dismantling being more technially challanging a lot of problems handsets are out there so buyer must be smart ...

Thanks Johnerz for the advice, but on what basis you are saying that the accessories he/she is offering don't even worth £50, I have searched a bit for just 3 items and they are costing EXACTLY £83.29, as follows:
1. TomTom West EU map £44.95
2. Battery £19.99 (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-ba-s400-battery-1230-mah-p21962.htm)
3. Cradle / charger £18.35 (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-dual-charging-cradle-p22978.htm)
I haven't even searched for Leather pouches yet.
Thanks anyway for your advice

Personally I would recommend the T-Mob US model as the 1GB memory makes it a far more usable device compared to EU 512MB ...
Buy the best you possibly can, close to new as possible & with no dubious issues or fuzzy replies to questions.

Thanks for the advice Mister B, seller replied as follows:
Hi This phone is an original HTC HD2 not any third party/un-known China make, phone is factory sealed never been opened or repaired, only 4 month old (by the time of putting on sale here)(Bought on Ebay sealed). Selling it because got a new HTC Sensation on upgrade, Return is accepted but obviously I will note IMEI & all the device's information through the ParcelForce service before sending to secure my self as well as buyer, look at my 100% feedback, I am not here to scam anyone, never did.

Mmm checked his buying history, no history of buying an HD2 but he has recently just purchased an HD2 box !
Seller also buys quite a few HTC devices, on 5th of July purchased Desire HD ...
Personally I would not buy it.
My rules on buying phones via eBay are never to buy items previously purchased via eBay & item history with any dubious credibility, For starters your getting device in non original box & what else in non original & questionable !
Second issue is price, £260 is a lot for a questionable 4 month+ device.
I would recommend looking at a T-Mob HD2 as some good bargains & brand new devices are available.
I say buy a new one with a warranty. I bought an HD2 from ebay and I'm regretting it now. You NEVER know what phone you're really getting.
HD2 is cheap enough now to buy on amazon. You'll want to thank me if and when you need it repaired, and can do it under warranty
Hey guys, as the popular term goes, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and have to say what an awesome section this is! I was hesitant after bad reviews whether or not to get this bad boy, but after reading countless positive opinions on this forum I have decided to take the plunge. My only question is, do you guys think it's safe to get it off eBay for 400$au? It just seems very cheap and I want to know it's factory unlocked and not hacked before I get it, thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

eBay comes with buyer protection anyway so you won't loose your money
just check the sellers feedback score and histroy, if it seems to be too good to be true!!
i brought my xperia play from ebay and was perfectly fine just sim locked when it came out
Hi man
Im in Australia and bought mine through Ebay for AUD $398 about 2 months ago so that price is right. It came from Hong Kong, it works perfectly, im heaps satisfied with it and there are no faults.
Also to let you ease your mind dude, they are unlocked so they work with any Australian mobile network and also when purchasing the phone make sure you get the R800i xperia play model as these ones work on all of the Australian network bands for mobile 2G, 3G etc.
Another thing also like someone said before, Ebay offers their protection program and if you use paypal they also offer their own protection program so you are pretty much covered if somethings goes wrong.
Have fun with it dude If you wanna know anything else let me know.
the r800a runs on telstras 3g network, not the r800i, and it costs a fair bit more to buy but is worth it imo for telstras far superior network(least where i live)
the r800i can use telstras old 2100mhz 3g network..but thats not long for this world..
TLR telstra:r800a, optus or anyone else:r800i
Thanks guys, I'm actually in china now on holiday so I'm wondering whether to grab one while I'm in hong kong, but as previously mentioned eBay gives the security of buyer protection... will let y'all know how it fares but either way I'm looking forward to joining the club
just bought mine through ebay, price was $394 (ausd). came with an 8gb card, case, screen protector and car charger. seller is based in hong kong and i'd gladly recommend him if you were to buy through ebay. no hassles, no stress, no problems at all. seller even used ups for shipping which allowed full tracking online. i bought my unit on a thursday. ups online said that the unit was already in melbourne by saturday. got my phone by monday morning (darn, no postal services on sundays =)
2 of my friends got it through the same vendor I think. He's called rose#somenumber#.
Trouble-free and they got it for 280-300€ depending on the change rate.
280-300? Geez, that's a bargain! I saw that rose guy (or girl) on eBay but Aussie price is 385, still a good buy, just wanna stop at HK first n see if I can haggle a bit with the locals

just be careful, mate. no offense to anyone honk kong related...i was based there for 2.5 years mind you...but a mate of mine dropped by hk recently. he bought a brand new xperia arc and haggled for a lower price. the seller took out 150 bucks from the phone. phone was working fine but when he got back to melby the phone stopped functioning.
if you're going to hk, try getting the phone in tsim sha tsui (kowloon). specifically, ocean terminal (right beside the ferry and bus depot). there's a building there called star city. second floor houses the best electronics from reputable stores. or, there's something similar in wan chai (hk side). but personally i prefer the one in kowloon as the one in wan chai can be a bit dodgy regarding some stores.
im not sure what country your in but if your not in australia you may have to pay import tax which will boost the price
Thanks for the advice guys, ended up getting it from wanchai paid 340aud so pretty happy, it is a wicked phone so far n I havent even rooted it yet! Need some help with but I asked in another thread and am googling as I type thanks again guys, looking forward to exchanging info once I suss it out.

Hi there guys,
Hope you all are having a good day.
So the thing is that I decided on getting myself a Note 3 (the international version). I sought the add out on Amazon and will be purchasing it soon.
Could someone who has an idea about the import tell me as to how much will the final price be that I have to pay after the custom clearance? I really need to know this before buying it. The on-shelf price of the Note 3 on the website is $705 and the seller is 'mygsmstore'.
It would be a great help. I can't ask questions on the website as I haven't yet bought anything from amazon.
Hi there,
I am also trying for the same. if you refer to my question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47783662, I am trying to get this from Expansys.
Let me know if you are interested and/or want to pursue this!
Thanks,
Ckhurana
Even I was thinking of the same, however there are quite a few problems.
1. How good is the retailer. As we will lose all warranty since its a USA product. So we need to be pretty sure of genuineness of the product.
2. Customs is quite tricky. I have searched and could barely find a convincing answer about the customs aspect on importing the phone
3. Region Locking- Samsung region locks the device. i.e. if we get it from USA, how will we get a US sim to unlock it.
Would be glad if some community member can help us.

is that so well as i recall it i could see a number of sellers who directly import unused and unopened Note 3 from the US, only extra cost which the customer may need to pay is OCTROI if applicable.

Hi,
I see that you have ordered note3 N9005, even I am planning to buy one from US. But there are two main concerns, first, is this a genuine Samsung phone? Second, about region lock policy of Samsung.
So, please let me know did you face any region lock problem and how is your phone working so far (could you check your phone with android app which verify the originality of Samsung phone). If your phone is good, I can order from the same seller.
For those of you who bought the OnePlus One on Aliexpress, can you please post your experience with the seller, which version you bought, whether you have 2G,3G,LTE, and what country and radio frequencies your carrier uses? But most importantly, how is the phone? Since it is from China, there is always that worry that the box wasn't in good condition, or worse, you got a fake.
I understand there was some discussion in the OPPO mart thread, but I think it would be better to have its own thread. Who knows how long it will take for us to get our hands on a OnePlus One at this rate... I'm considering buying from Aliexpress.
Owners who purchased from Ali Express and received their phones, please answer the questions or do not post

What's EE?
So you don't know if 3G works for you but LTE works? What frequency does your carrier use? Can you just link it to the seller here? Because China versions seem to have different baseband, which may be solved by flashing a hacked modem. I'm not sure though.
So any word on T-mobile? It sends text, but no data. Do you think flashing Cyanogen mod would help?.I got mine from oppo Mart & everything was in perfect condition.
