Pfffffttt ... what the!
I've been keeping an eye on Amazon UK and Play UK for the Galaxy tab, well Play now have a price and release date for the 16GB version ..... are you sitting down?
£899.99 Free delivery Due for release on 04 July 2011.
Edit: The spec isn't right either.
899 GBP for 16GB???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way ... too damn expensive ...
They are either mistaken or they're taking the piss, Amazon.de are advertising it at EUR 637,98, that's about £563.
I've just emailed Play.com asking why the price is so high and they've just responded with:-
Dear Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet' is now available to order. Click on the link below to pre-order now!

At that rate it would be better to order from Amazon.de although Amazon UK may announce a price soon? What are the implications of buying a German unit, it is just classed as a European unit, warranty wise etc?
Yes,
in this regard EU is treated as one so id does not really matter where you buy.
The only difference might be a posting cost.
I have bought stuff from Pixmania (FR) when I was living in the UK with delivery to Poland. (no problems). I have just bought (now being in Poland) Sapphire Xtreme HD 5850 - also no problem.
So... if amazon.de is first to send them away you do not risk anything.
In the past I bought Vaio form Sony Outlet in Holland - fine as well.
Having that in mind... I wonder if Apple isn't breaking the law (EU law) by offering only 12 months of warranty???
As far as I know all manufacturers selling their products in EU are supposed to offer 2 yr. warranty at minimum (no less).
And again on a different note... I am quite grateful for EU being regarded by manufacturers as one country/market. In the past we would wait ages in separate countries for lunch of devices, prices, updates, etc... it is without a doubt better than before we were all completely separate.
I called Play.com and they are looking into it to see if it is a pricing error. They will email me when they know more.
In the mean time, we need to find the best place to get this device in the UK, even if that means ordering from elsewhere in Europe.
I will let you know ass soon as they are available in PL. With Polish Zloty loosing ground because of Greece it might actually work out cheaper for you .
At the moment you are looking at approx. 625 EURO (predicted price, dont know about delivery).
Another issue is, although Samsung will honor warranty in Europe, if the product is faulty when it arrives I will need to send it back to the retailer and they might be abroad. Postage and a language barrier might cause some hassle.

That was my concern with getting stuff from USA (Motorola does not have a worldwide warranty and again - if you buy in USA, you only have 12 months ).
With buy in in EU it is not a problem - buy in Poland, UK, Greece - and you can get it repaired or exchanged through your local representative/service/etc.
It is very nice that it works this way.

Actually I think that was just an automated email as I'd signed up to be notified of availability, it can't be the response to my WTF email re the price on their site.
Folks, thanks for your input ref European warranty.
Thanks for the heads-up up on that, but that price must be a provisional one, much as happened with the initial pricing of the GS 2, which saw its price gradually drop down as its release approached to a much more reasonable level.
I have had my "hands on" today with Transformer.
As I treat this as "tablet for a while" I also want to be able to sell it easily in future and loose as little as possible.
SG 10.1 as much as it is sexy is too limited.
My choice will be Transformer 16GB + keyboard dock - and than I will wait for Kal-El or something else (light, with sd slot that plays mkv and other formats and has sexy look and great batt. life) - this will keep me going for a while.
At the moment I am only thinking... buy now (and use netbook as well) or wait till netflix app will show up as it should have a better price by that time... (I hope non of you think it - netflix app - will not show up).

You're most likely right about it being a provisional price, but what happens if a buyer orders it at the over inflated price and it then reduces by say £300, would they get it at the reduced price?
I'm weary of Play, they tried to pull a fast one on me a few months ago.

If I recall correctly Play don't charge your card until the item is ready to post. I've found they are rubbish when emailing, so I just call them and they are fine on the phone.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
The model on Play has the 10.1v specs, not the 10.1 specs -- be careful.
Right, I received the correct reply from Play.com, ref my enquiry as to why the price is so high on their web site. They're investigating.
Hi there,

Safest thing to do is buy it from Currys or PCW. Then return it if u aint happy. Think i would wait, of course it would be nice to have it have it first but...
Where is the 32GB version?

Yes that's what I did with the Transformer, I do prefer to be able to walk in and get it sorted straight away.
Called up Play.com and now they are looking into the specifications.
It probably didn't help that I got pissed off at the guy because he was giving me generic answers, so when he asked me how I knew their website was wrong I said I work in the IT sector and carry out the necessary research rather than spend all day talking to customers in a monotone and boring voice.
A galaxy tab for a down to earth price...
When the Transformer wasn't widely available, Carphone Warehouse had it. I ordered and it came the next day. I returned it to my local CPW (because of a screen gap), they refunded my card straight away.
Thinking about it though, the Galaxy Tab is expensive compared to the $499 that the US is being charged...so tempted to order it from Amazon.com using viaddress. I haven't used them before, but I'm thinking worst case scenario, I have to pay import duty so that'd put it near the price of Amazon.de - but if it works out, I could get one for about £350. Either way i'd probably get it in a week...
Square Trade has decided that my TF can't be repaired because the glass is not available and they don't know when it will be available - not good news for anyone else with broken glass. But they are going to send me $499 (I had the 32) and I'll buy another one (though probably a 16 this time). Does anyone think there are differences in stock at different retailers? My gut sense is to go with Amazon, since they probably have the highest turnover and might have newer stock but I'm not sure that even makes sense. I bought my original from NewEgg when they were first available so it was very much a first generation manufacturer. And had no problems at all except a small light bleed. TIA for any suggestions. - sheureka

I just ordered a 16 gb TF from Amazon and it came DOA. The screen would turn on but it was solid black and nothing would display. So I had to replace it. Amazon is shipping another one in the mail now and I am returning the one I got. The return process was painless but it's painful to wait so long to get it. I live on an APO address in Japan so I have to wait like 2 weeks.
I'd go with Amazon. If you don't get one you like, you can ship it back for free, which is awesome.
Also, if you have a student email-address, you can sign up for Amazon Prime for a year and get free 2-day shipping. So there.
I see you cross-posting, sheureka.
Update for guys looking to buy from Taiwan. Don't buy from 23port. He doesn't have the phones available, he takes your money and then waits for Asus to get them in stock. This is the email response I got from him about my purchase
"We have received your payment on Mar. 28, and we will check the available time with Taiwan ASUS and update you soon, and we will provide tracking number after shipment. Please kindly note. Have a nice day."
I contacted eBay after that and they are taking action against his listing since in their words "he is luring people in to buying an item he doesn't have, without stating it's a preorder and that he doesn't actually have the item".
Just wanted to give a heads up since I'm now at the mercy of either getting a refund from the seller or waiting until the 7th for buyer protection to kick in.
You might want to ask sellers if they actually have the item in stock, it's not guaranteed that they will answer truthfully, but these guys are taking people's money and sitting on it until Asus Taiwan has stock available. Who knows how long that could be in all honesty.

I ordered from him Thursday and my phone arrived Today. There were two listings. One preorder, the other one showed availability. Not saying this wasn't your case but I had a totally different experience with him
^^
Same here I ordered and got mine in 2 days, FedEx express
Well I ordered the 4GB with 32GB storage for 350 plus 25 fedex shipping. Ordered it Friday morning my time, asked him today about the status and that's when he said he had to contact Asus about the availability and would let me know. None of the ads I've seen by him have said anything about preorder. Maybe when you ordered he had supply but now he doesn't. If he had supply he would have shipped my phone already and wouldn't have said he needs to contact Asus and that he'll update me.

I didn't think you were but some people might. I was hoping I'd have it within two days like every one else but that's not the case I guess. I can't wait weeks to get a phone unfortunately. I'm thinking that some of the other sellers don't have supply either, that's why they're putting the delivery date so far out. They're hoping people will buy expecting delivery in mid April and that gives them enough time to wait for more stock from Asus.

There are some sellers with the delivery date as Apr. 10th-Apr. 21st. Which gives plenty of time for them to wait on new stock while you're waiting for the end of April to get it.

That really sucks. I will tell u this: phone is solid. Only disappointment is the battery cover. Feels like cheap plastic simulating a metal brush finish. Looks like it may break when prying apart to insert sim card and SD. Really glad I got a case for it.

Yeah I've been super stoked to get it since I saw it, sold my OPO and a Note 3, bought my son a Moto G 2014 and myself the ZF2, but now I have to use my son's phone since the ZF2 isn't coming.

I have another warning: Don't buy from OE USA (advertising on Amazon) either. They're selling an entry level ZE500CL as ZE551ML as they specified the phone. Luckily Amazon has good customer protection but you may face a lot of troubles buying totally false phone.

By the way what is g19800720?
I guess I learned my lesson well. I'm returning cheap entry level phone which was sold on Amazon as a ZE551ML. At least partially you can blame all mess on Asus, which would never provided clear specs of variety of models around.
Now I'm quite positive that currently you can't buy any other ZE551ML than Taiwanese. And right now Asus has in production European (ww) model which will be on the market in France and Italy at the end of this month (on the web as well). And maybe Chinese model will be selling at the same time too.
Later, probably at the end of May after announcement in the event in New York the US model is coming to the market. And that's pretty all.

To those on the verge of purchasing,
Just got an email showing the Redmi Note 2 Prime (32GB) being on sale for the next few days.
Oddly enough, the black version is $10 cheaper than the white one: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229218.html?vip=56770
I've been waiting for a special offer to pop up before I bite the bullet and buy it, this may very well be it!
P.S. Not sure what the policy is on referrals, but I like to be direct, so using that link will only help me get a discount on the phone itself, it doesn't seem to award any commission.
But also remember, you will never know if what you are ordering is in stock or not. Until nothing arrives at your address. Be warned before using Gearbest.com

Gearbest is so shady and I will never use them again, I'd recommend staying far away.
I ordered a Chuwi Vi10 64GB w/ keyboard case on 9/11/15; I had to do the "sketchy" ID verification also, but they took my order and my money.
I received a broken keyboard on 10/2/15 , and over 30 days later, still no tablet.
Now the replacement keyboard is out of stock.
They suggest I find an alternative keyboard to replace it (for a custom keyboard/case made for the tablet, WTF!).
I've re-ordered the tablet & keyboard from banggood.com, got my fingers crossed.
P.S. Techtablets has other user reviews for Gearbest, they pretty much suck!!!
I also suggest to stay away from gearbest.... I cancelled my order because it appeared as "processing" for too many days.
They answered my tickets with delay and always with generic apologies but never gave me a real dispatch date. As I heard there are many people waiting for their redmi note 2 I assume they just don't have enough pieces in stock (despite they show all the phones as available).
I still have another order made on 09/27 yet "processing".
I didn't cancel it only because those are 20$ of accessories for my xiaomi yi and in this case I don't care to wait too long, but still this tells me how efficient they aren't with their business.
I'm still waiting for my redmi note 2 from gearbest.com I ordered on 30th September. How long after cancellation did you receive refund? As of now they don't seem to want to answer my ticket!
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
08OCT I asked to cancel the order and be refunded
09OCT They replied asking me if I would prefer to be refunded or get a GB credit
09OCT I say I want the amount to be refunded into my Paypal account
12OCT They confirmed the order was cancelled and refund processed (they said to wait 3-5 working days)
12OCT Got notification from Paypal about refund
12OCT Refund available into my paypal account
Before coming to the forums and reading this, I ordered one from this site (though it was before the sale). So far it has been smooth, as yesterday it shipped. Hoping now that there's a phone somewhere in that package...
I've ordered a Redmi Note 2 16 GB from Gearbest. Took them about a week to dispatch my phone and another week to get it(used a faster cargo choice).
The only issue i have with the phone is bloatware which everyone seems to be having but other than that the phone is stable and fast.
Just buy the TDD version to get a discount
Geekbuying has it on sale too, only for 10 days
Geek buying
I just ordered the 32 gig version from geek buying hopefully their better than gear best! Does anybody know if it works on T-Mobile/Metro PCS?
Thumbs up experience with everbuying.net for me.
The problem with gearbest and many other sites that never have real stock and needs the money from the orders to buy the phones. In some cases the phones are out of stock from the manufacturer and they have to wait. I made the order for the prime the 19st of september and ships the 4th of october.

Guys try To2c.com for your xiaomi phones i ordered mine on a friday evening and by the next wednesday lunchtime i had my shiny new Redmi Note 2 Prime shipped via dhl and updates all the way through the process.
Well recommend them

Hotmid.com is another good alternative, delivered a bloat free phone to Sweden in 8 days standard shipping.
Picked 16 GB chinese version with microSD for 110 USD today, NOT from gearbest.
On the edge of buying? Thinking that this is a lot of performance for $300? So what is anybody thinking ? would this be a good deal coming from a V 20 that the screen is starting to come off. so I have to start looking for something to replace it.
It does appear that the development has just about stalled out because of the locked bootloaders.

All LG V30 in the world have bootloader unlock, root and TWRP. You can buy mint on eBay for $165 - $170 right now:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-US998-128GB-Titan-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-9-10-/183795406681
If you don't need T-Mobile variant specifically (you are not a T-Mobile customer), then the LS998 V30+ or US998 V30+ are the two best choices for North America users.

Hi, I've had my V20 for a couple of years and wondering if the V30 would be a worthwhile upgrade from it? I have been looking at prices and they are relatively cheap compared to a new 2019 phone.
I would only use it with an AOSP rom as I don't like the LG software. Some of the things I don't like about the V20:
-Crappy battery life , never had more than 2-3 sot
-Speaker output is very low
-Gets hotter than hell
-Slow and sluggish even with h custom ROMs
I would get the H932 version as I have T-Mobile. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

It was worth coming to when released in 2017. But even more in 2019 now that DTS 3D stereo framework has been added. If you specifically need the T-mobile branded variant, look for the T-mobile H932 V30+ (128GB). There are a few out there. T-mobile sold them for a limited time before only selling the H932 V30 (64GB).
LG V30/V30+
* 1440P OLED (537 ppi)
* Qi wireless charging
* 3.5mm headset jack
* Quad DAC
* DTS 3D stereo (need root)
* IP68 dust/water resistance
* rear camera OIS on normal lens - plus 120 degree wide angle lens
* superfast fingerprint sensor
* 64GB (V30) or 128GB (V30+) internal storage
* microSD port for additional storage
* bootloader unlock and root
* no notch
* fantastic battery
Be sure to ready this sticky first about rooting. your V30/V30+/V30S. It also covers some information about AOSP/Lineage custom ROMs.
Thanks for all that info.
I was following the v35 thread to see how it was progressing and I'd like the ram and the newer processor but it looks like the V 30 to be able to perform brain surgery on it is way more desirable a h?
I put two offers in yesterday on two different sites for the v35 unlocked new gray and they had him listed at 3:45 and I offered 299 and both of them maybe fortunately were rejected?
So I better dig deeper into the V 30.
Thanks again for your input.

Thanks for all that info.
I was following the v35 thread to see how it was progressing and I'd like the ram and the newer processor but it looks like the V 30 to be able to perform brain surgery on it is way more desirable a h?
I put two offers in yesterday on two different sites for the v35 unlocked new gray and they had him listed at 3:45 and I offered 299 and both of them maybe fortunately were rejected?

Sure. Read the XDA forum links above.
I've used this seller a few times:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-US998-128GB-Titan-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-9-10-/183795406681
Thanks for the link, I was also looking have a supplier that had new unlocked with the 128 storage 4 248.
I was wanting to make a couple comments back to you but got reading a couple links and I feel like you were holding out on us I'm really excited to see what I read. And you were commenting on that thread also it's on the the v30 thread and it's from page 157 on the high possibility of Brian/ running naked being able to unlock the bootloader !
So I'll give this link and I'm wondering for other people with the v35 I would think that this information would give them some pretty big hope?
For those that want to take a look go to the end of the thread and it's page 156+157 and read those pages for some promising news!

Now I have V30 Verizon version, and I'm waiting for V35 to compare it. V30 is great phone, only small issue which I found, that V30 has small freezes on my videos from gopro hero 6 black 4k/50fps 80mbps. And, as I read, cameras on V30 and V35 are different.
So I was on the fence but as I am seeing a little action with this phone I am now waiting to find a deal on a new v 35 unlocked I've got one location that it's right at 33999 and I waited the other day there was a eBay bucks at 13% and I was still on the fence but I'm ready to purchase it now but I'm hoping for some kind of deal? Anybody know where there's a nice gray one new unlocked 4 a good number?
I'm going to add a link to a post I just made that shows Pie is being distributed for the v35 AT&t.

2 months ago I made an offer on one of the eBay sellers to purchase new unlocked AT&t v35 4 $300.
I also made an offer to another seller of the same phone for the purchase price of 27999 and both of them rejected the offer said the price they have is what they're sticking with. So here we are two months later as prices were coming down a little bit the one that I had offered 27999 had dropped his price down to 27999 so I went ahead and bit. Screen protector case all toll I'm in for 291.

Ouch I knew the discount was coming but I didn't think the inventory would last, it was showing down to the last phone so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.
That's a good discount that would have put icing on the cake.
I have to go back and check cuz I thought I checked all the sites and now I feel better cuz I did see that deal the seller I was dealing with wasn't on the list.

Honestly i bought this phone 4 months ago for 290$.
yes price wise sounds like a great deal but camera is bad.
My Wifes HTC U11 and my Sisters Pixel 1 takes much better photos. I don't take many photos but when i needed to take one this camera was an embarrassment. I felt like i was using my old HTC M9.
pixel 2 are selling so cheap these days i would rather get that even though it has 835 and less ram.
Seller Cell2Go on amazon is selling unlocked V35 for $299. It comes in an original but open box, packed in all wraps that it is supposed to be packed, looks new to me. The only thing - there are no headphones (by design as there is no place for them in a box). Mine has manufacture date Sept 2018. Pretty cool phone, no regrets so far.
