Hello, I want to buy an XDA to replace my PDA & Mobile. My wife and I currently on vodafone ( joint plan, 200 free mins / pm ) until 14th April so considering either buying used and running the software you've constructed to enable it on vodafone, or buying new from 02 or going with a 2nd hand XDA to another network.
No real need to change her 'phone and have seen 2nd hand XDAs on e-bay at c. £140 - £180 which compares favorably with the purchase price new on a new contract with O2.
However, for UK only use, is one provider better than any others?
We live in the Beds / Cambs / Northants area so should be reasonably covered by all. Only Orange used to have a few flat spots around here.
Many thanks yr comments.
Regards
Charles
is one uk network better than another
Hi there, does anyone have an opinion as to which network is better than another ref calls and gprs, or are they all about the same?
We spend most of our time around the midlands london areas
Many thanks
Charles
Having left Orange to get an XDA2 with O2, I can only say that I've been disappointed. O2's customer service isn't a patch on Orange's, and the coverage is generally slightly worse (although this could be an XDA problem).
I wouldn't recommend O2 to anyone, but will move to Orange as soon as I can, once I can be sure I can get GPRS etc. working. I've never used T-Mobile or Vodafone.
Hope this helps.
Many thanks yr candid comments. As I'm currently with vodafone, I feel my 1st steps will be to buy an unlocked new /2nd hand xda to run on this n'work and see how it shapes up.
Yr comments appear to mirror others I've noted ref O2 cst svs being poor.
Thanks again.

Using search and such I've found lots of advice on different places to buy from, but I'm looking for some more general advice as it pertains to those of us that have to import to the United States.
1. As a US resident are there any hassles I should expect in ordering from Europe?
2. What is that VAT thing, and does it affect me? I've noticed that prices often state two amounts, one with and one without VAT.
3. I've seen people discuss getting unlocked versions, pay-as-you-go versions, contract versions and cancelling, etc. What options are available to those of us in the US? Do we have to buy an unlocked, contractless phone? Or is one of those other options involving buying a SIM, or cancelling a contract available?
4. Related to #3, I've seen mention of paying extra money to unlock the phone at some website. Will we have to do that even if we buy an "Unlocked" phone?
5. As far as warranties go, are we better off buying from a US based website or does that not matter?
6. Will our current GSM sim cards fit/work? (Yes, yes, I'm pretty much a newbie to GSM phones)
7. What's the meaning of life, the universe, and everything anyhow?
Thanks so much in advance for helping out someone new to the idea of importing a really cool phone! I've been debating between the iPhone and the Touch HD to replace my HTC BlueAngel, and I think the Touch HD is finally winning out!

Just Google HTC Touch HD. You will find several US based companies selling the phone. Pick a reliable company. Anyone with a price of $300-$400 is probably a scam and want payment by western Union.
Most companies will offer a warranty program. The HTC warranty for the HD is not honored in US as far as I know, since it isn't released here. Any SIM card will work in an unlocked phone. No need for a contract is your already have one and can use
the SIM card.
I am curious about the VAT as well. No idea what that means.
VAT is a value added tax in Europe... If your located in the USA and order from Europe, then there is no VAT charge.
Hi! Now in the end of june, im going to UK from Sweden . Because it would be VERY expensive to call and text in UK and out from UK with my Swedish carrier, i would like to buy a "prepaid card", dunno if its called that but its basicly a simcard that you put money on and then call for. So my question to all the UK guys, what is the easyest/cheapest english carrier that have prepaid cards (microsim)?
Im out, peace!
Buy at airport.. In Britain, it's called pay as you go.
Sent from my XT910
Yes is called pay as you go.
think tmobile is cheapest one
When I was studying there
10 years ago, yeah, t mobile is the cheapest.. Then came 3.. Not bad as well..
Sent from my XT910
If you have a postal address you can use here in the UK, giffgaff is without a doubt the cheapest network. Check my sig
Hi, PAYG is brilliantly cheap in the UK
I would suggest giffgaff. I am on them and they are mega-cheap - brilliant for androids!
Also, I can send you a sim straight to your home now, so it is ready to go for when you arrive. You just need a UK address If you order through me, you get £5 free credit

You can buy it from Taobao in China and they do ship internationally. I have no experience with having products shipped outside but have ordered from the many time and they ship same day in China.
Price on Taibao is about 5200 rmb / 6.12 = USD
http://s.taobao.com/search?q=Galaxy+Note+3+N9002&app=detailproduct
the best bet is go on Taobao and find the highest phone quantity sold, that's a good indicator of trust worthy store.
there's about 1500 RMB price different between the taobao price and the Samsung store price.
good luck
please can you help me
