Telstra 850 where to buy

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]
Thanks,

How much was your X10?

Thought it would be interesting to see who got the best deal when they bought their phone. Post The price of your phone, any bonuses you got with it, the location you bought it and the approximate date you purchased it
I personally got mine at Best Buy for $49.99 on a 3 year contract with a bonus $75 Best Buy gift card and (he said) a free 16gb micro-sd card. Pretty sure all phones come with the SD cards though since it was already in the phone upon unboxing.
Now you!

it was 9k pesos and that's around 750 dlls

Free on a 15 pound ultd contract 24 month =)
Benifits on being on a staff contract with o2. Shame its a 2 year contract though. Had phone since realses in Europe. had 3 replacements

Mine in malaysia rm 1550.00. Us around 4+

I traded a month-old iPhone 3GS for mine. The choice was either this or the Desire (non-hd). After 6 months of heavy use I'm glad I chose the X10. It's got an old version of Android with some small issues but the screen and design more than makes up for it imo.
The streetprice now here in Sweden is about 400€ which is slightly overpriced, I'd put it at 300-350.

Got it from my bro who switch to IOS4 . My first android phone and as each day passes by i liking it. Great phone...

$637.00 AUD From "3" HK Network

Bought a new N900 for $350, traded it for a x10 after three weeks.

$650
+tax

Free, 3 years contract, Rogers Canada

NO Contract Its white X10a branded to rogers works on the US att. Got it for $520 around June.
Happy with it.
Purchased on eBay from a guy in Canada.

$50, and a $50 mail in rebate, so basically free. Upgraded through Rogers, didn't need to get a new plan or anything.
I definitely didn't feel like spending another $500+ on an unlocked phone

[Q] Good deals on the Optimus 7?

Hi guys
Does anyone know of any good deals for the Optimus 7 in Britain? I'll consider both contract and handset only.
Thanks

Vodafone contract
Vodafone are offering the phone free for £30 a month (24Months) or £35 (18months). However if you are an existing customer and been on a higher tariff such as the £40 Blackberry you can negotiate the price down by £5 a month by going through the call centre.
So I've just upgraded and taken an 18 month contract at £30 a month with free phone. This gives me 600 minutes and 500MB.
This is significantly cheaper than other networks are offering a WP7 phone, Orange and O2 are £45 for 18 month contracts. I considered the HD7 and Samsung Omnia but opted to stay with Vodafone as the LG had good reviews and 16GB compared to the Omnia. HD7 looked good if not a little bulky but I wasnt going to pay an extra £270 over the lifetime of the contract.

Has anyone found a place to buy the Optimus 7 sim free in the UK? I've got one pre-ordered from Expansys but they still don't have any details on availability.
I'm tied into my contract with T-Mobile until November (damn 18 month contracts) from when I got my HD2 through mobilephonesdirect.co.uk so my only option is to go sim free. I'm not too keen on buying an unlocked handset from eBay (I've seen a few on there but don't know how much I trust them) - I'd like one stock without any of the Vodafone alterations.

Z3TC shopping

Expansys.Co.UK in the UK have the WiFi+4G version @ £384 and the wifi only at £319
Very.Co.UK are participating in Sony's £30 cashback offer. They also do 12 months interest free credit. WiFi+4G is £429 WiFi only is £329. They used to do 10% of your first order on tablets but now specifically exclude tablets. Still works for phones...
Nigel

Currys have the 16gb both colours for £329 but use code ANDTAB20 gets you £20 off and you can still claim £30 off Sony bringing it to £279.
Haven't checked quidco or top cashback but you might be able to get a bit off again.

Bargain! That makes it cheaper than the tab S 8.4.

Is that just the wifi, as I cannot seem to find on the description of the device. Believe it must be.

That is what I am contemplating.
I have the Tab Z and Ultra and didn't want to spend on this as the Tab S seemed to have more offers.
Hopefully sony will do something on the tab for black friday.
Also note the expansys price is cheap for the lte model compared to sonys price. Wonder if its a uk model or not.

Expansys ships non UK Tab S
Hi
Code Andtab30 for £30 off at PC world today then you can get the Sony £30 off as well
I can tell you that the TAB S LTE from expansys was NOT the UK version, but rather an Italian version, shipped with both the original EU mains adapter and also a cheapo 2A UK adapter. I just flogged my TabS LTE on fleabay in favour of the Sony Z3 which is a whole lot better tablet IMHO
Nigel

I am sure you are right about it being a better tablet, but that's reflected in the price they are going for I guess.
Want the LTE (which pcworld do not seem to have) but likely wait for the z4 in Jan 15 if they don't do anything on black Friday.
Are you getting the Sony from Expansys or waiting for a UK model?

Yes it is just the wifi version. Nice find on the updated discount code for currys/PC World.
Wonder if Amazon will match it as they currently have it at £309.
I'm planning on waiting a bit longer as the Sony cashback deal ends in March 2015. Plenty of time for further price reduction.

Same for me unless sony gives me a price on bf that is 'must buy' but my experience of their sales is that the discount equates to what others are already selling it for, so ends up being useless.
We will see

Bought my lte model from very.co.uk it is a UK model.

Are you looking for the LTE version because o2 have it for £379 and they are giving away a copy of destiny for free. CEX will buy it off you for £13 but you could possibly sell it for £20/30.
So with the cashback the total would be if you sold destiny to cex £336 or sold it yourself sealed for say £30 £319.
You also have quidco which takes 5% off before vat on payg or on pay monthly theres cashback depending on what tariff you go for.
Just to note if you go payg it will probably be locked to o2.
You could also possibly try to get John Lewis to price match them at £379 as I noticed they might be price matching competitors prices for black Friday. Brings the total to £349 with cashback.

Guys check out O2 uk they are doing a offer on the 4g let version with destiny game and you can claim £30 if you have a receipt of purchase.

Bought it from singapore z3 tablet compact LTE white 16gb for 689sgd - 5% = 650sgd for tax refund still pretty cheap compare to sony indonesia.

£375 for LTE version http://www.expansys.com/more/?sbadd...&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Product+Alerts

Sony have the LTE version for £368 at the moment if you use the supposed expired code from October for the £30 off and cradle for £1 offer.
The cradle for a £1 doesn't work but the £30 off does
Dont suppose I will get the other offer for £30 of with sony direct, but at least I get some quidco.
Oh and its unlocked too.
If you post it on hotdeals, hope you refer, all the best.

Picked up the Wifi version from Currys for £275 using the current O2 Priority code (£25 off a £250 spend) and it still qualifies for the £30 cashback - so hopefully total price will be £245.

Nexus 6 $550 at Best Buy

Edit: I posted the below deal this morning but it was pointed out in the replies that an even steeper Nexus 6 discount was announced today (see Phandroid link below). The 32 GB Nexus 6 is now available for $500 from Best Buy and also the Google Store (64 GB for $550).
I wish to highlight a Nexus 6 deal which I could not find listed anywhere else on XDA Dev or by Google search. The unlocked Nexus 6 is available for $550 at Best Buy. To obtain it at this price, one simply needs to ask in store for the unlocked Nexus 6 and then ask for a price match against T-mobile's online store, where the phone is currently on sale for $549.84. I also called Best Buy customer service and was informed by a representative that this price match should apply in all stores and to any purchases made from the Best Buy online store.
I can confirm this approach can work, since I was able to obtain a Nexus 6 for $549.84 in store from a Best Buy store this last weekend. However, I also found a Best Buy forum post where it was claimed that the price match was initially not honored (unfortunately I cannot include the link since I am a new member). Therefore, the ease of this approach may vary according to the representative one encounters.
As an additional note, T-mobile starter kits, which include a nano SIM, are currently on sale at Best Buy for $5. Thus one can set up an unlocked Nexus 6 on T mobile for ~$555 plus tax.
I apologize if I posted this thread in the wrong place or duplicated a pre existing thread. I will monitor the thread and delete/repost if necessary.

Is there any advantage (Other than the price right now) to buying the unlocked version -vs- the carrier specific one?

The ATT and Verizon are locked to their respective carrier. However once you have them paid off for the device you can get it unloved to work on other carriers.
The hard was is all the same.

Thanks. I'm thinking of getting one but I currently have the Note 3 on ATT and they use diff sim cards. I was going to simply pop mine in. Seems like I have to get a nano sim and add another line. I hate that the carriers have us by the sacs.

If you get one you don't have to add a line just have AT&T switch Sims and phone.
You would have to buy out right. With the T-Mobile $100 off deal is a great way to save some money. Best Buy will match the price.

Also Best Buy is selling the 64gb version for $550 not the 32gb Verizon and AT&T sells.
No need for price match anymore.

Thanks, I just saw that too! Google says that TMO doesn't price match, but I'm still in my 14 day window for the one I bought from them. Has anyone had any luck getting them to price match, or at least allow a return without their restocking fee?
