why dont you guys just order from one of the UK sites? or are you asking for someone that can get it from a company which only sells within UK for a bit cheaper?

Just ordered from Clove http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-16gb they accepted my US address perfectly fine. I believe Handtec accepts order from the US too. http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/4203/samsung-galaxy-s-ii--16gb--sim-free-unlocked-
Hope this helps

Have you tried Handtec, they deliver to Australia. ~AUS$700
sweet. Might pounce on one of these. A few questions first
1. Which site is more reliable? Has anyone ordered thru either?
2. How long does shipping usually take to the United states?
3. It says first units dispatched may 3rd? Does that mean if i place my order today it will ship that day? or will it be on backorder?

i'm from CA and i ordered from handtec. it was the cheapest out of all the sites i found. about 710 us.
Last time i check, about 2 days ago, they still had units left for preorder for shipping on the 3rd of may.
It takes 2-4 days to ship. Saw that on the website.
shipping cost about 14 pounds.
y don't you try this site: http://electroprise.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-ii-quadband-3g-hsdpa-gps-unlocked-p-2792.html
They are from: http://electroprise.com/contact_us.php
Got this from a post in gsmarena, sorry didn't know its a scam.
Im in CA too. Im just curious as to if there's a bunch of pre order before mine since they've been taking them forever that it wont even ship until later this month or something. Id need it by the 12th. You said yours was$ 710?

Why you asking so late? I can buy it for you and ship to you. How much you willing to pay me? (Email me is fine).
I preorderd from clove but it's possible they ship on may 6 !
I don't want to wait that long, I want to preorder another one from handtec.
It's my first time buying from them so I'm not sure handtec able to ship on may 3.
I can sell you the 2nd sealed s2 to you after I got it.
there's a fairly good discussion about clove and handtec here.. maybe it'll help you decide which to choose.

I've used Expansys a number of times both in the US and UK. They have online stores in numerous countries. They will have devices from the UK available in their US online store which you can buy in USD without paying VAT. They also have online support forums which I've found pretty useful in the past.

It seems Best Digital offer the chepaest price and also HTC Direct. I am wondering if it is best to order through HTC Direct rather than someone I never heard of (Best Digital) in case you need a refund or return.
Also the shops in Tottenham Court Road in London may be a good place to buy and haggle for cash but I am guessing if a fault devleops in the phone, they won't exchange or give you hassle unlike dealing through reputable companies like Play.com, HTC Direct etc etc. I want to pay under £450 as over £500 is way too much for a phone.
I so want one now and HTC Direct says they will get stock in in under 2 weeks (31st Sept) whereas others say mid November. I have told myself after buying this phone I wont buy another phone again as this really seems to the best phone ever in what I want from a phone.
I just don't know who to preorder with or just wait and haggle in Tottenham Court Road.
Who are you pre-ordering with or have you already preordered?
tboy2000
I ordered it at www.digitec.ch.
BTW, it looks that they updated the delivery date to early november for the english version, up to end of november for the italian version...keep ready...
Never dealt with HTCdirect, and just in case you were wondering, they are NOT htc themselves, they are just a shop.
Expansys are usually ok, apart from the odd occasion where they buy dodgy grey import stock and sell them to get to the market early, and you end up with warranty issues.
Devicewire.co.uk are owned by brightpoint so they are usually pretty quick out of the gate with stock, and a good guide for the proper retail price and release date.
If you want to buy on TCR in London, then INKINO is your best bet. they are very good and knowledgeable and happy to help. There is another one around there that is owned by handtec (I think) and they can't get you out of the door fast enough once they've taken your money, and refuse to do anything to help if there's a problem. Best to avoid them like the plague....!
I order it yesterday here : http://www.pixmania.com/fr/fr/1761264/art/htc/pda-phone-touch-hd.html
My preorder has been in with Clove.co.uk for weeks now (over a month). It was £590+ (inc. tax) when I placed the order and it has dropped to £523 inc. tax now ....I hope they charge me the lower price when they do finally ship!
The site is still saying price and availablity TBC but they are also saying it is expected 11-Nov.

They buy their stock from Brightpoint UK, so they nearly always say the day after devicewire/Brightpoint....Surprised they haven't updated their date to the 1st of November yet. These two companies are only a couple of miles apart in Bournemouth and Poole.
I'll probably be ordering with Expansys USA.
I ordered at expansys germany. I guess they will be the first to get HTCs new device..

Amazon.de has a very good price. The guys from a german o2-Shop said, that the HD will cost about min. 700,- Euros without a contract.
nick
I don't know who are you guys going to preorder the Touch HD from but I just saw a broshure from one of the big mobile phone sellers here in Bulgaria and the HD was listed as avaliable and at a good price!!! 1299lv. Or 650 Euro! This is verry interesting and I'll check it monday when the shops open! Keep fingers crossed!
I get mine as a present, but know that official German retail is 660 euros. So Amazon incl. shipping is not too bad. I hope the HD lives up to its promises, since it marks my return to the WinMobile world, after exiting with Tytn I.
I'm not good at taxes and all this ...
If I'm in USA and want to buy HTC HD from UK site (e.g. expansys.com) and have it shipped to me in USA .... should I look at
VAT included price of £524.99 or VAT excluded price of £446.80 ?
I understand I can buy from expansys-usa.com, but generally speaking ?
No. You dont have to pay VAT if you are getting it shipped from Europe to the US address. I just bought the Touch HD from one of the UK sites with out VAT.
thanks a lot
I have a general question similar to this. I leave in Minn..but I notice that expansys has the Blackstone available now....can I order it from this site? They will ship to Minn.?
Sorry if this is a dumb a## question. but I'm about to drop a lot of money and just want to make sure its safe.
yes, Kenjari, expansys will ship to the usa. I, myself have ordered one from clove on wednesday and expecting deliver tomorrow or monday.
my total came out to be 750 ish w/ 16 gb micro sd.
Thanks copualt3. I looked at clove's site. I did the conversion. It came up to $616.98 total Is this how much you paid for it? Why is expansys charging damn near $200.00 dollars more?
How did you come up with $616 ?
£445 is approx $700, no ?
I used this online convertor. http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi
So it might not be as accurate as I thought. But I went to clove and set up shipping and everything. Got the total amount and went to that convertor. Thats what it came up with.
i ordered DHL shipping + the 16 gb micro sd so that's an additional 50-70 euro.
expansys likes to charge more than their competitors.
I also ordered from Clove and was to receive the phone Monday am, but today received an Email from FedEx that there was a delay. Clove needed to send them more info.
"A complete Telecommunications Form is required" is what caused the delay.
That may be a customs thing. I forwarded to Clove and hopefully they can quickly fix this.
Just an FYI for fellow Americans...

You have to ask your own Indian government how much they will charge you. It has nothing to do with the UK.

I'm about to push confirm on Clove.co.uk site to order my Htc HD. However, the website doesnt specify, which language am I ordering? As anyone ordered from Clove? What language is it in...is it WWE? Lastly was there a 2 year warrant that came with it?

I odered mine from expansys (UK site) on Nov. 10th. No VAT, no CA sales tax, no custom forms, HD was shipped via DHL and was here on Thursday, Nov. 13. This time frame included a little hassle, as expansys USA took over (actually wanted to) and I told them I want it shipped directly from the UK. USA price was quite a bit higher, I think $799 phone only.

I ordered mine from handtec.co.uk for $706 USD total.
I ordered it on an Friday and received it on the following Wednesday, 4 working days. They ship via Fedex so Fedex called me then emailed the FCC form.
See link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445804
A bit of a hassle as Handtec only takes Google checkout for payment. They weren't proactive on providing a tracking number but I spoke to them on the phone and they were very responsive. All in all a good experience.
Anyone know where I can buy a North American version of the Arc that will ship to the USA. I see it available at Best Buy Canada but they won't ship it. No one else, not even Sonystyle seems to carry it. Anyone know where to get one?
Thanks
Check the Japanese arc thread. Lot of us ordered from a Japanese seller on eBay. You have three color options with Japanese model.
To me still Japanese(Docomo) is the best option since you get all the colors unless Sonystyle starts selling them from tomorrow...
color is not a real big deal for me and the Japanese reseller wants over $200 more then what it's being sold for in canada. Any other possibilities?

its not $200 over , how did you get that
Rogers from store price including taxes is $650
so this is without ebay fees or paypal or seller profit or shipping fees
the to get the japanese one with paypal only is $720 and he is shipping from japan.
so you do the math now
Good luck
Best Buy canada is selling for $550 as well as their Sony Style stores.

Forgot about that exchange rate... But there still is paperwork with the FCC to deal with as well as 2 week international shipping wait time. I guess no one has found any place willing to ship it to the states yet. I've tried getting it shipped through rogers, sonystyle, and bestbuy and they all won't do it.

Ordered on Sunday and received it on Wednesday (Free Shipping)
No FCC, since they already got the paper works.
You choose what is best for you, but we are trying to show you more option. You may better off till someone ship it to you from Rogers or here in the US someone starts selling them.
Good Luck
Edit: This guy on ebay sells them from Canada - Rogers

But from my experience with clove and expansys, you have to pay upfront. But remember this for those in the USA, if you order from UK sites we don't pay vat and the total including shipping is cheaper than ordering from America.
With regards to insurance, never had a problem personally, but if I did samsung has warranty covering it.

I ordered by Galaxy Nexus through Handtec (handtec.co.uk) and had a good experience with them. If I do pull the trigger and order a GS3 then I will probably do it through them. Depending on price.
Expansys been taking pre orders for them.
Expansys UK
Expansys US
Negri Electronics
Carphone Warehouse
I always buy electronics from Negri. There probably the best customer service I've dealt with. It all comes down to personal preference with this type of stuff.

Yup it's gone.
Here is hoping that will come back later on today, with a shipping date due in the next 4-5 days... Fingers crossed..
The pre order links are back up on expansys for both white and blue colors as well as 16, 32 and 64 gb versions. I pre ordered all six as I am not sure which color or size is going to be available on release date.
Oh you don't have to pay upfront to pre order

this first release of S3 will only work on Bell, Rogers, Fido, Telus
I'll wait for the Tmo release, which is usually like the 3rd incarnation of the same phone every year
as AT&T and Verizon or Sprint usually gets the 2nd generation release of the same phone
