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]

Hey,
I am hoping to get my hands on a SIM free HD2 fairly soon, and i was just wondering where people have got theirs from and how much it cost them?
Best i've found so far is £440 for unlocked and sim free.
There is always ebay i guess but i'm not hugely trusting in it tbh XD
Thanks

So theoficialprice from xpansys ws on december 524 euros I am sure you can find many of them on ebay for much less.....!
The resonis simpel there are many lemons HD2 out there.
If I was you, before buying, read closely all the threads that are talking about bugs.
And best of all just wait few more weeks to see what would be the future new devise out there.
Realy HTC hd2 is not a reliable devise

Is this from Handtec.co.uk? Careful, that price is for RETURNED devices. Brand new models are currently £450 - still a bargain though.

and plus VAT. £464.13

When you buy it from expansys.com, you'll get it for 469,99 but with a 30 pounds voucher for other expansys products. Maybe you want to purchase some accessoires anyway.
You can also get a B-Stock HD2 (whatever that means) for 450.

B-Stock = used/opened product.

I bought my HD2 from handtec.co.uk. The was price was around 460.
If you pay by card and the delivery address is different from the billing address you will need to provide proof of your billing address.

Every single HD2 comes with a brand-new resealing sticker in the box for some insane reason....so I would never trust a private sale as being 'sealed'. I sold my 4th one genuinely sealed, never been opened. I'd be willing to bet a lot of these 'sealed' ones don't have the spare seal in the box!

where to get the phone in UK?

I'm interested in this phone, but any good reliable online store??
Superetrader is only £379.99, which is very good price, but have not used them.
Amazon was selling it £379.99 too, but i missed it, now they are selling it £408

Mine was delivered today. Got it from Expansys for £399 + free next day delivery. I was oing to buy from Amazon but they increased their price to £408 and u would still need to pay like £6 for next day delivery. Expansys is quite reliable. I would rate them second to Amazon.
I once bought a phone (TyTN II) from a company called Handtec and they sold me a grey import so I have learnt to stay clear of those small traders when spending a lot of money on a phone.
By the way the Desire Z is a fantastic phone and I am still in awe!

Got mine from SuperEtrader, excellent service and they were actually the first to ship any stock in the UK I think. Their aftersales was very good when I had a hinge query too.
Andre

mine is from carphonewarehouse, i got it for free as i am just extended my orange contract, and the bonus, phone is unlocked

since use have t-mobile in england do yous get the G2 or the desire z?

i heard that expansys stock level is not correct on their website, and the order often delay because of this.
Superetrader sound pretty good! Did you get it straight from their website or their ebay store?

Handtec
me and my friend both brought from Handtec. There is a thread with almost 2000+ regarding the desire HD alot of people brought theirs from them.

We have the DZ,... But it is not officialy supported by T-mobile, nor is it available from them direct. I have it on T-mobile but ordered from an online retailer, they apparently buy the handsets unlocked in bulk to be able to offer almost any available handset on any network and tariff,...

You could find this out by looking on mobile phone sites & ebay etc, and comparing prices yourself...

thank you
i will buy it

Make sure check because that could be the price if you get a contract on the phone. I got mine without a contract in greece during my vacation for €550= about $750

In Romania with no contract is about 500 EUR. I am going to buy mine with prolongation of my existing contract of 20 EUR at 350 EUR.

I've seen some decent deals on eBay. Just buy from a seller with a strong positive rep...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I bought mine on eBay UK for £410 4/5 months ago, ive noticed it has stayed true enough to it's value it hasn't dropped by that much given the quality your getting im not surprised.
I was contemplating getting it for free or cheap on another long contract but im glad i didn't, never again...

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

Same thread and a few tips in here.. UK, US, CA, India, HK..... sources...

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.

I ordered one on Friday, seeing $635 was my crumbling point and i couldnt resist anymore.

expansys USa $100 off GNote for net delivered $695
Use code BFNOTE during checkout and the price of the black GNote drops from $794.99 to $694.99 with free shippiong to USA address.
Hope that helps

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

Great price for the Note from a dealer here in the US. Thanks!
Also don't forget to combine the 2% cashback for Expansys-USA through Fatwallet making it $681.

Darn! Can only select New Zealand or Australia for shipping.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the price to come down a bit as I'm willing to pay a bit over $700 here in Canada total with shipping, tax, etc. but not willing to pay a over $800!! Just seems like too much...
I had a dream last night I was using my GNote & loving it... maybe the universe is trying to tell me to just order the darn thing
