Purchasing a TyTN in the US

Anyone that has successfully purchased a TyTN and is using it in the US I would greatly appreciate some info on where to do so.
Thanks a lot.
I'm a currently an HTC Wizard use, and love it. I really want the video phone capability, and the increased speed for games and such. Looking forward to M$ Live Anywhere!

You're going to have to wait for video calling in the US... Cingular has not yet activated the feature (but are allegedly going to do so sometime in Q4 this year).

buy at http://www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com/ or http://www.dweiniger.com/ (note that I am not affiliated with either one)
or you can always go to trusty old ebay!

Thanks
Thank you very much for the info... And I'm aware of the Video Calling issuie here in the states. I'd like to have it early.... and have the faster phone... the overclocked Wizard just isnt cutting it...
730 isnt a bad price.... Thanks for the links...

Let me know when you buy it, I will follow.
Thankx!

i got mine from Phonesource-usa.com
i ordered and arrived the next day i am in canada but they are based out of the U.S las vegas i belive.
awsome service too always quick to reply.
oh and probably one of the best price's out there at the moment.

I really like the link from the last post. Thank you very much.
I will post here when I end up buying mine!

I bought 2 of them from http://www.PhoneSource-USA.com and I agree the service was awsome. I had mine delivered the next day and my brothers would of been delivered the next day if he didn't live out in the woods where they don't accept Saturday delivery.
Most places tried to tell me they had them instock or where recieving theres the next day but didn't. Give this guy a try if you haven't already purchased it.

we have the TyTN on special 719.99.. lowest price
full USA warranty for our customers ( Thats mean your tytn will be serviced in USA office).. and free USA CHARGER
www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com

I just purchased mine from GSM Phone Source (www.gsmphonesource.com). They are great to deal with and super fast service.

Best place to get it for US residents?

Hey all,
so for those of in the US what is the best place to get it? Are there any shops that sell it already, or is it only out in Europe?
And if so, which is the cheapest but still reliable website to order it from?
Thanks.

I think im ready
Im also looking to buy a Touch HD here in the USA. Ive seen a few sites but dont want to get ripped off. Also I'm goint to to sell my USA 3g diamond if anyone is looking.

i got mine from clove technologies for $760 shipped. That was even shipped via DHL 2 day service. Works great. love this device!!!

Expansys USA apparently now has stock. I think the price is $799US.

I ordered from Clove as well. I've used them in the past and they are top notch. Even with 2 day shipping it was cheaper than ordering from Expansys USA without shipping.

did you order last week? i too ordered from Clove, but no word yet whether my order will be fulfilled with this week's stock. also, are you on att? if so, aside from the lack of 3G, are all the other services working well with the Touch HD?

Ordered from Expansys this morning. Just got my email that they shipped it out an hour ago.

Yes, it was ordered Friday morning and I have a fedex tracking number. I should have it on Wednesday. It was delayed a day for their validation process for international orders. I had a different credit card and shipping address from my previous orders so it was delayed for verification.
I am on ATT and everything else has worked fine with past touch devices. Getting to the medianet homepage can sometimes be an issue, but I never use it anyway so it's not a loss for me. Other than that everything works fine.

You man slow Edge speeds? The Touch HD doesn't have US 3G.

yes i know of a store in new york city, i spoke to them on the phone two weeks ago they told me they will be selling it as soon as touch hd will be released by any European carrier, witch already has happened.
the price they told me is $800.00 they also have a website, but i dont know what is it, but u guys can give them a call 212-964-4444
but be ware, NYC especially Manhattan has a lot of cell phone stores whitch sell bootleg versions. most of the tourists dont know and just buy
but anyways anybody who checks it out keep me updated, i would like to know if anybody buys it from them, cause i wanna get one also in a few months.

guys how slow will the internet be on it with out 3g? is it still worth it?

I just tested the Edge speed (w/ 4 bars) on my iPhone 2G and got 154kbps. I'd imagine that the HD would be similar.

In case anyone is interested, Clove UK seems to have brought down their price to $693. I'm probably going to go with that deal...

it will be slower than 3G no doubt, but it's an acceptable trade off for me (now). i may change my mind once i get the device.
however, thanks to the University of Iowa defeating Penn State (in football) this past weekend (and the corresponding return on my wager/investment) the lack of 3G is of less concern. in other words, the windfall from that game (and the "windfall's" capacity to finance 100% of the HD cost) makes it easier for me to rationalize that lack of 3G. i can cave into my insatiable desire to have a big a** WinMo VGA screen device, a.k.a, Touch HD.

lol, earlier this year, the NY Giants winning the SuperBowl financed my Orbit 2 purchase. i'm usually good for 3 to 5 winning weekends during the 20 week season (sept to jan) and the timing of and "windfall" from this "win" couldn't be better. now i'll have to lay low until the BCS games and Superbowl so i don't give it all back, lol. windfalls such as mine make it easier to explain to wifey the quarterly appearance of a new device.

Hmm... so I checked out the touch pro/fuze today and wasn't really that impressed with the thickness. I'm given some thought to purchasing the HD from overseas, and so far from reading the forums I'm taking I won't get 3G speed (which I can live without) -
These are unlocked, so I just drop my sim card in? I have AT&T MediaMax bundle that I used with my 3125, I'm trying to avoid my plan being bumped up to their more expensive PDA plans...

Where did you guys get your HD2?

Hey, I'm so very close to buying a HD2. I have a total of NO idea where to buy from and what sites to trust. I've looked around some, and found the Leo going from 599-750. Another thing is a warranty. I've heard the phone has no warranty usually, but I don't know if I would need one. Any hardware faults or common bugs that would require a warranty to fix? Would love to get it a cheap as possible, but no idea if I need a warranty.
Thanks for any help!

Do you think this would be a good place? has a warranty option too.

You could always use Expansys since they have a warehouse in America.

strange on went to upgrade on thursday and as vodafone stopped hd2 for non buisness users i was forced to go to phones4u, but as i arrived at the store at 10 am there was a notice on door that they would not be open for another hour due to staff shortages, so i though i would chance it at the vodafone store next door and see if i could persuade them 2 let me upgrade 2 the hd2 and it turns out they received 1 unit of the hd2 that morning and were willing to upgrade me. had a bit of a fight on my hans though as i was told i could't yet i had another month and a bit to go, i assured them i could upgrade from the 22 feb and was told they changed their policy a few days before from 90 days 2 50 days before contract ends, cut a long story short, told them it wasn't my problem and i had't been informed of these changes, anyway all history as i have my hd2.

Since your profile indicates you have AT&T, why don't you order the Australian HD2 - T9193? You'll get 3G.

I got mine from CleverKit. Great service and I was able to pay over Paypal and get some miles on my amex as most UK sites still don't accept it.

Hi,
I bought mine from handtec,
if you look at the HD2 wiki, there is a list of vendors used by xda forum users.

I am probably one of the lucky ones who brought mine (was T-Mobile but unlocked) privately but with the warranty transferred for the nice price of £350 and it was new and boxed. I guess with the £130 I got back from recycling my 14 month old Touch HD with its 6 months half line rental cashback, it feels pretty cheap to me

I would love to, and thanks for the suggestion, but the ones I can find are all >900, which is a little expensive for me.
Thanks for all the help guys, but still havent found a good place to buy.

you paid $915.50 because of 3G????????????
I'm sorry, but this is craziness !!!!!!

Well I wanted 3G for AT&T here in the states so I got the Testra version from Australia. I purchased it off of ebay from a reputable seller. If you dont care about 3G in the USA then you can get it off Newegg.com if you want! I paid a total of $798. A little more than I could have got the regular version for but if I am spending $700 for edge then I am going to pay the extra $100 for 3g capabilities. Totally worth it!

[Q] Cheapest Place for Galaxy s2 in the US?

title says it all...since the galaxy s2 isnt available by any carrier yet...where is the cheapest place to get it? Ive only seen it on expansys...any others?

Prices seem to be slowly but steadily decreasing, here are probably the best places to keep an eye on.
Amazon, Google Shopping, and eBay. I would post links, but I don't have enough posts yet. You can find direct links at pastebin.com / mLf88e7L (without spaces ).

Amazon has them for like $689 right now + Prime

Try unlocked mobiles its the chepeast I found
Then Amazon then handtec then expansys

Thanks for posting as well; I'm thinking about getting one; I'm hoping to stay under 700.

get a sd card if u dont have one ( for backups etc - CWM )

I just bought mine from an Amazon seller (Warehouse Distributors). It was $684 with free shipping.
It just shipped, so I'll update you guys. I am a bit worried that they will screw me somehow (seem small, don't have their own domain for email or website), but calling them got to a live person, and seem friendly enough. In fact, they were able to pricematch when their price dropped a day later by $14 (was $698 when I ordered).
I hope it's not an open box or a box of rocks. Actually, if it was a box of rocks, it'd be suspicious even without opening since the phone is super light!
Either way, I'll update you guys on how it went. I'm expecting the phone by the end of this week.

i placed my order @ mobilecityonline.com last week. it was $699 + $4.99 shipping - $20 online coupon = $684.99 shipped. however, its price has risen since then, so apparently it was temporarily on sale. basically, just keep looking around bc its always changing on different sites, and look out for coupons.

I was hesitant about buying from most of the import sites in the US but surprisingly mobilecityonline has far less negative reviews than other sites dealing the sgs2 such as popularelectronics.com or negri. I received it just like they promised via fedex no issues. They even called me and emailed me to confirm my purchase and stressed that i have 14 days to return it.
The only gripe is that they listed it as the UK version but when i got it, it said Samsung Romania on the label and included non-english manuals. Also, the US power adapter that came in the box isn't working for me. No biggie tho bc everything else checked out. Used it for 2 days now and so far im satisfied.

US power adapter in the box? Did they open the factory box to put it in there?
I didn't even think of them putting another country's phone in there. I would be expecting the UK version.

I would expect a US power adapter included with an international phone. Any others wanna chime in?
And the box was factory sealed.

Why suck my grits. After I took a risk and bought it from an Amazon seller, I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176292
It doesn't get any better than $689.99 + $5.99 shipping from none other than NEWEGG.
A trusted place with excellent customer service. Can't go wrong with NewEgg. At least it will benefit the people who waited.
Now... say thank you!

nfc included?
I wonder, does the newEgg version comes with NFC?
Also, been that it is been bought from an U.S. seller, can I get warranty from squaretrade for this phone? I know can i can buy it in the u.k. and get squaretrade in the u.k., but i dont want to have to send it to squaretrade u.k., I prefer the u.s. squaretrade.

Finally got it yesterday. Was in a unpadded box. But turned out okay for the most part.
Had a US power supply. Looks like a Latin America model (primary language on the box was Spanish, and so was the manual).
I found 5 green pixels when viewing a dark gray background.

ordered mine last week from amazon for 689 with FREE prim 2 day shipping. I payed the extra 3.99 for one day shipping. I had no issues with the shipping process, everything went smooth. One important thing i will add though is that when i recieved my phone the battery was completely dead, i had to keep the phone on the charger for about an hour and a half before i could turn it on. Eventually i put the phone in download mode and then pressed the down volume rocker which restarts the phone. My version was in polish, so it took a few moments to find the language setting and switch it to english. I found the whole preces pretty cosmical and my friends think im crazy for purchasing an unlocked european phone. But then again they all have Blackberrys so there opinion is moot lol. Im loving my phone right now and dont remember the last time i was this satisfied from an expensive purchase.
edit... i just read that some people had some worries about the shipping condition. my phone was shipped in two boxes. the first was the standard shipping box. then it was in a bigger cell phone style box. similar to what you would get from a carrier. this box was a little beat up, but thankfully the official samsung box was inside in great condition and still sealed. so for who ever was wondering, my us dongle was in the second box not the official samsung box where the actual phone, earphones, sync cable, and euro charger was in.

Handtec is offering £404.98 (shipping included) for North American buyers. That's only 570 Cdn.... It's suprisingly lower than the pricetag on amazon or other non-Euro sites. The price's been decreasing, too. Anyone know why the price has been decreasing steadily (as mentioned in the previous thread)? Is it because of the upcoming iPhone 5 or because of market saturation in Europe? I might order one after Canadian carriers confirm their models. I refuse to buy a SGSII with the LCD variant

Galaxy note 3 Simfree UK Price?

Hey everyone, anyone got any idea how much the note 3 will be simfree in the UK I've got an s3 at the moment and I bloody hate it need something a lot more powerful with a better screen and screen size. I'd be willing to pay like 500-550 although wouldn't be willing to pay over the odds like 700 for it or what they normally try to charge. So yeah anyone got any idea on how much the note 3 will be simfree only as I really don't want to be stuck in and tied down to a contract.

It's gonna cost you about 649 Pounds without contract also worth a mention according to them "The first 500 customers to pre-order a Galaxy Note 3 and Gear will get a £50 reward when they trade in any old phone at the Samsung Experience Store Launch Event."

Yeah, prices are way too high here! I'm from Melbourne! I have actually lived in Auckland for 2 years about 10 years ago and I loved it! Where abouts in Auckland are you?
I went with clove again this time. Although Handtec is cheaper but after my horrible experience with them for my GN1 (I don't know if you remember it, I have mentioned it last year) I have decided never to buy from them again.
I have also had a pretty bad experience with DHL last year for the delivery of GN2, so this time I went with the slightly more expensive FedEx ;p

Had to return 2 consecutive GN1 to them which cost me over 200 bucks because the first one had a bad screen bleed and second with bad dead pixels.
DHL last time had a 2 days deals with the shipping of my GN2 and lost the tracking those 2 days! So decided to spend a couple of dollars more and go with FedEx this time
So what colour have you chosen this time?

wow that's epic **** luck. I got a 29" monitor the other day and came home, always dread turning on first time and seeing a dead pixel. I had about 8. had to drive alllll the way back. just a major mission. overseas would be even worse lol, no compensations for our shipping eh.
I went black, I've always done black/silver/dark. anything white and I feel like someone might comment on my iphone -_-
I think I waited last time only white was available for the note 2? or something like that, I just held off until the silver was available, think it was the note 2?
what color did you go?
what, spigen screen protectors are mid october in your hands? fck need a temp screen protector asap. link me to what you got? curious to see.
I was going to do a hybrid case but I don't like our already large phone, to be larger. that's why I've always got back replacements, never back/sides or even a complete case that covers the back piece.
from what I read, the spigen screen protector I got from amazon is available 20 september, say 10 days to get here. makes 30th, then if the note 3 is released 25th, say 5 days which is what I can remember how long it took last time, might both be bang on? and 10 days for the spigen is stretching it, I reckon it'll be like 5 days or 7 max

Check out clove UK. I've pre-ordered mine there last night... It will probably end up costing me 725 aussie dollars with FedEx shipping

How? Cloves prices without VAT is 495 pounds.. Converting that to aussie dollars gives 838 .
