I am looking to buy one sim free but will return it for a complete refund if there are any dead pixels or other faults etc. So which vendors have people have good experiences with, particularly on the no quibles refund department?
Play.com (currently one of the cheapest inc 4% quidco discount)
Devicewire
Clove
Handtec
Expansys (though they are Expansive at the moment)
any others?
well, clove.co.uk is a good choice. but as you see. there is completely no vendors could guarantee no dead pixels. they only guarantee 0-3.

I know that, but they are bound by law (long distance selling, I believe) to offer a full refund, without the buyer needing to have a reason as long as it is within the first 7 days. So I was thinking I would return it and say I didnt like the device if it did happen to have any dead pixels.
I wanted to know which vendors people have had good experience with in getting full refund and any to avoid.
I have had excellent experience more than once with Clove Tech.
Before I got the excellent HTC HD I bought a Samsung Omnia (rubbish) and Clove took it back no questions asked.
Their service is v. fast and prices are OK.
Got mine from Play, arrived next day, no dead pixels. Expansys' price for the sim free HD is an insult.
Edit: actually just checked their price it has dropped down to £549.99 it was £604 a couple of days ago, still play is £50 cheaper.

Hi there, did you get an 8GB micro SD card in the box from Play.com, their website doesn't mention it, but Clove's does.
according to the other topic on this subject(lists places where you in get sim free, in order of price), carphone warehouse are doing it on O2 PAYG for £450(instore not online).
Is there any vendor out there that has a HD for under 700 bucks? I want one but its expensive and heck. . .
Will have to check out the Carphone warehouse deal, have a feeling it will be all sold out though. Anyone have any experience of Devicewire as a company, they seem to have reasonable terms and conditions regarding non faulty returns, and they price match too.
My advice is just dont buy one..in saying this Im only thinking of you and the fact that if after the seven days you had a dead pixel from where im standing I could just see you cutting your wrists
I know it might sound amazing but the truth of the fact is that in todays lcd technology there is still a chance not matter what that you might endup with dead pixels and that just a fact that you will have to live up to
Mine actually aparently came with a couple of dead pixels at from day one and tbh they where neglegible but now after about three weeks they seem to have resurected!! ALELUIAH!!
like the first guy said espansys or mobileplanet which are one in the same... it may look higher in price but u get everything but a hoslter and or case for it, most sites ive seen will say there adding the 8gig sd card for extra money or for free but mobileplanet will protect u if anything happens as far as the phone lockin up on u from a master rest
Bought one
Ended up buying one from Handtec in the end, delivered next day and no dead pixels thankfully. The Carphone warehouse didn't have one in any of their branches nor did they know when they will be getting any more (so pretty useless).
Got mine from ebay...
If you are experienced with ebay, then due to the currently low value of the british pound, it is the cheapest to get it from ebay.co.uk.
I got mine (including shipping) for ~595 USD.
That is in Europe with VAT.
Also, I wouldn't care that much about "simfree".
You can unlock it @ htccode.com for 18 euro...

That's a really good idea! It dramatically reduced the cost that I was expecting for the HD, now I would have paid $720 now its like $603.
Goto Carphone Warehouse.. Then ask to buy the phone with an O2 Pay as you Go Sim.
They will sell it to you for £440 + a £10 top up for the O2 sim.
Got mine just before christmas with this deal and no waiting for delivery from anywhere
The phone comes unlocked and I have a spare unused payg sim card now.
Thats if they have stock. In the first store I went into they didnt even know this deal was available but then they had no stock, but they did a search for other nearby stores with phones available for me and it was only a short drive away.
As I mentioned in post no 12 not a single branch of carphone warehouse had any in stock, when the guy checked from the branch I went to, and they didn't know when they would be getting any more. Obviously due to it being such a good deal. You are one of the lucky ones to have got in there early.
Carphone Warehouse can order over the phone for next day delively

Pfffffttt ... what the!
I've been keeping an eye on Amazon UK and Play UK for the Galaxy tab, well Play now have a price and release date for the 16GB version ..... are you sitting down?
£899.99 Free delivery Due for release on 04 July 2011.
Edit: The spec isn't right either.
899 GBP for 16GB???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way ... too damn expensive ...
They are either mistaken or they're taking the piss, Amazon.de are advertising it at EUR 637,98, that's about £563.
I've just emailed Play.com asking why the price is so high and they've just responded with:-
Dear Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet' is now available to order. Click on the link below to pre-order now!
Click to expand...

At that rate it would be better to order from Amazon.de although Amazon UK may announce a price soon? What are the implications of buying a German unit, it is just classed as a European unit, warranty wise etc?
Yes,
in this regard EU is treated as one so id does not really matter where you buy.
The only difference might be a posting cost.
I have bought stuff from Pixmania (FR) when I was living in the UK with delivery to Poland. (no problems). I have just bought (now being in Poland) Sapphire Xtreme HD 5850 - also no problem.
So... if amazon.de is first to send them away you do not risk anything.
In the past I bought Vaio form Sony Outlet in Holland - fine as well.
Having that in mind... I wonder if Apple isn't breaking the law (EU law) by offering only 12 months of warranty???
As far as I know all manufacturers selling their products in EU are supposed to offer 2 yr. warranty at minimum (no less).
And again on a different note... I am quite grateful for EU being regarded by manufacturers as one country/market. In the past we would wait ages in separate countries for lunch of devices, prices, updates, etc... it is without a doubt better than before we were all completely separate.
I called Play.com and they are looking into it to see if it is a pricing error. They will email me when they know more.
In the mean time, we need to find the best place to get this device in the UK, even if that means ordering from elsewhere in Europe.
I will let you know ass soon as they are available in PL. With Polish Zloty loosing ground because of Greece it might actually work out cheaper for you .
At the moment you are looking at approx. 625 EURO (predicted price, dont know about delivery).
Another issue is, although Samsung will honor warranty in Europe, if the product is faulty when it arrives I will need to send it back to the retailer and they might be abroad. Postage and a language barrier might cause some hassle.

That was my concern with getting stuff from USA (Motorola does not have a worldwide warranty and again - if you buy in USA, you only have 12 months ).
With buy in in EU it is not a problem - buy in Poland, UK, Greece - and you can get it repaired or exchanged through your local representative/service/etc.
It is very nice that it works this way.

Actually I think that was just an automated email as I'd signed up to be notified of availability, it can't be the response to my WTF email re the price on their site.
Folks, thanks for your input ref European warranty.
Thanks for the heads-up up on that, but that price must be a provisional one, much as happened with the initial pricing of the GS 2, which saw its price gradually drop down as its release approached to a much more reasonable level.
I have had my "hands on" today with Transformer.
As I treat this as "tablet for a while" I also want to be able to sell it easily in future and loose as little as possible.
SG 10.1 as much as it is sexy is too limited.
My choice will be Transformer 16GB + keyboard dock - and than I will wait for Kal-El or something else (light, with sd slot that plays mkv and other formats and has sexy look and great batt. life) - this will keep me going for a while.
At the moment I am only thinking... buy now (and use netbook as well) or wait till netflix app will show up as it should have a better price by that time... (I hope non of you think it - netflix app - will not show up).

You're most likely right about it being a provisional price, but what happens if a buyer orders it at the over inflated price and it then reduces by say £300, would they get it at the reduced price?
I'm weary of Play, they tried to pull a fast one on me a few months ago.

If I recall correctly Play don't charge your card until the item is ready to post. I've found they are rubbish when emailing, so I just call them and they are fine on the phone.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
The model on Play has the 10.1v specs, not the 10.1 specs -- be careful.
Right, I received the correct reply from Play.com, ref my enquiry as to why the price is so high on their web site. They're investigating.
Hi there,
Thank you for your email regarding Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet and for bringing this to our attention.
Due to the nature of your concern, please allow us more time to investigate the matter. Rest assured that your issue is being dealt with accordingly and we will send you an email once a resolution has been provided.

Yes that's what I did with the Transformer, I do prefer to be able to walk in and get it sorted straight away.
Called up Play.com and now they are looking into the specifications.
It probably didn't help that I got pissed off at the guy because he was giving me generic answers, so when he asked me how I knew their website was wrong I said I work in the IT sector and carry out the necessary research rather than spend all day talking to customers in a monotone and boring voice.
A galaxy tab for a down to earth price...
When the Transformer wasn't widely available, Carphone Warehouse had it. I ordered and it came the next day. I returned it to my local CPW (because of a screen gap), they refunded my card straight away.
Thinking about it though, the Galaxy Tab is expensive compared to the $499 that the US is being charged...so tempted to order it from Amazon.com using viaddress. I haven't used them before, but I'm thinking worst case scenario, I have to pay import duty so that'd put it near the price of Amazon.de - but if it works out, I could get one for about £350. Either way i'd probably get it in a week...
Here is a good deal I found on ebay India, if you missed the firesale or don't have anyone in US to ship it to you or carry it for you - and don't trust yourself to handle to shipping and customs yourself - you can buy it here - a little expensive - but cheap for a tab of such hardware, and now that Android is there on it
Worth the 350$ - as it includes shipping and customs
I don't know the seller, but have bought stuff from them - pretty good - but takes 3 weeks to get stuff - so if u want one :
http://www.ebay.in/itm/HP-TouchPad-...5?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3f0ebcdf75
But again, I or anyone at XDA staff does not take any responsibility for this
That doesn't seem like a very good deal to me? Those were selling for $149 during the firesale. So you're saying that $200 for shipping it to India is a good price?

Lol. Read this wrong. Thought you meant $200 for an HP Touchpad and he is right it is too much. You can get one in the US for $200.
Why go for a TP for 350$? Get a Asus TF instead or GTab if you want VFM.

I sold my 32GB TP for $280 for which i paid a lot of customs and shipping haha. I don't think its a good deal on ebay. Also the seller cart2...... is just plain bogus, they order your goods after you finish your order on ebay
I agree with archat once can get a better Device for those 350 which is TF, galaxy tab, even gtab is better.
yes cart to >>>>> is total crap...
Read what I said, it's only a good price for those people who don't want to ship it to India themselves or don;t have anyone to bring it from US.
Hardware is same as any other tab and that costs 600-700$, so 350$ is not bad compared.
Your opinion, you can have it
But, 149$ was NOT a realistic price, better to get over that - even HP has.
@Crush : How much customs you paid for it ? You got it for 280$+customs+shipping ? Can you explain
And i don't know about the seller at all - bought twice items were small and reached in time - were exactly the same price as US price.
Just to clear this up for anyone who isn't quite grasping what this thread is about, madnish30 is providing a link to eBay India. If you don't live in India, or need a Touchpad shipped to India, then why are you even posting in this thread?
$150 is NOT a reasonable price for ANY Touchpad. GTF over it. Consider it a one time sale price. US resales of the Touchpad seem to have settled at $200 and $250 for the 16GB and 32GB models respectively.
Considering this and the cost of shipping to India from the US, plus the time it takes to get through customs, $350 isn't a bad price for this tablet. The Touchpad has very good hardware, and is worth the $350 even in the US. It was never worth the full $650 retail price that it originally was, but that's another story.
So, in short, if you don't have any reason to need a Touchpad delivered to India, then don't post in this thread. It really is that simple.
Exactly, well summed up CFB
The touchpad is worth 350$ or more itself, for the hardware _ functionality and the OS too - I agree it's no Galaxy tab, but hey that Galaxy tab comes for 700$ not cheap ! And this is for 350$ for almost the same hardware.
Besides, inclding customs and shipping the seller is earn around 30$ a shipment which is not bad !
250$ is the average cost in US today, so 350$ by no means is bad for India that too including customs !
149$ was a throwaway price, but seriously one need to get over it, it's long gone - and those lucky people who saved a 100$ good for them !
Again, I shared a deal - but nobody is compeling you to buy, you can keep looking maybe one day you find one for 50$ or maybe not
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

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.

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

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
Have you seen this price?
Best price I have seen for the 32G and also the dock.
Best Buy will also price match.

I picked mine up at Best Buy for $350. Blue. Amazon has the dock for $128.
Man you guys got your Tf300T's pretty cheap. I got mine at Singapore when it first came out. Costed me roughly $580 for the tablet and the dock
That is an awesome price, holy cow! I got mine from Best Buy for I think $380 for the Tablet and $110 for the dock, but that was after my employee discount. I will ask my manager tomorrow if they can price match AND apply the discount, that would be swwwweeeeet!
Thanks for posting this
Does best buy even offer price matching? I tried to talk the salesman about how it's on Amazon, newegg and other websites cheaper but he didn't seem to know anything and I just picked it up for their price. Didn't want to wait and possibly pay for shipping. I will look for deals on the keyboard dock though. That I can wait a bit on.
Price Match
Print the add (posted above) or hard copy from the paper. Go to the Best Buy help desk and tell them you just bought this and Office Max now has it for <$
If you have a Best Buy in town you must have an Office Max, even if the Office Max does not have them in the store they offer ship to store for free.
Now go and save some bucks. Also, go to Best Buy website and print their Price Match Guarantee (have it in your hands to read) they know about it. Staples will also match it.
Good luck
I'm getting mine Thursday (32gb with the dock) for £360.

I stumbled upon this deal this morning while researching tables. I was going to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 until I read the Engadget and CNet reviews. Found out this one is much better. I was at work and called the store to have them hold one for me this I got off work. When I got there they told me that I got the last one and other customers were upset that I has one on hold.
Anyway, I go mine for $377.11 with tax and the keyboard dock for $107.74 with tax. The didn't have the keyboard dock so it is be shipped from another store. I should have it with two or three days.
Hey I just want to thank the OP for this. I printed out the ad, took it to Best Buy, and got $54.25 back. Needed the money too. Thanks
Yeah, just my two cents - I too price matched with Best Buy (my brother visiting from Ireland had bought this at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago). I ended up buying it myself from officemax and then we price matched his at best buy! They were all confused as honestly, I don't think anyone ever takes them up on their offer! But $54 is $54!! ;-)
Office Max TF300t Dock
Appears that Office Max has pulled the TF300t Dock from their web site. Sold out!
At that price I can see why. But not sure why they can't offfer a raincheck. If they did not do their research on what a good deal this was then shame on them. They knew it because of the way they presented it in their flyer. Best Buy had thousand of back orders at Christmas on the TF201 and honored them all. Even gave free docking stations based on the lack of Christmas delivery. Guys argue and hold them to it!
I got the tablet and dock at Best Buy yesterday. They matched the tablet since in stock in local stores, but would not match the keyboard. I went ahead and also got the keyboard from Best Buy hoping the keyboard would be in stock this week at OM to price match.
Then I decided to go ahead and order the keyboard from OM yesterday, since expected them to run out and not get any in store this week.
The dock shipped last night and I will take the other dock back to BB when I get it. Total price for tablet and dock was same price as the A510 and Excite.
just bought my tpad tf300t for $320 at my local best buy! It was a must but when i saw it. The device was pre owned and the box was opened but everything else wasnt touched at all. the device wasnt even turned on.
I keep looking for open box but none around me have any
There will be a tablet and dock in Kentucky tomorrow if my dock is dead and the tablet almost dead while left in sleep mode again. I have had this happen twice in a row and both times the device was restarted, no third party apps used and push notifications disabled.
Shame since got both for $450, but usless to me if the dock and tablet do not behave well together. I have not rooted, so a stock device should not be doing this.
The Excite also had a battery bleed issue while asleep, but 12%, not almost the whole thing (dock too). The A510 did not have the problem, but gets too hot during use.

I may end up using my View as my main Android tabby and the iPad 3 for everything else. Bummer.
You think when trying to price match color model matters. Black BA white ...

Haha, yes. I called best buy to see if they would price match a white online one for a blue office max one and the answer was no.
Thanks for this thread & the information. I have done my research and am ready to pull the trigger on purchasing this TF300 tablet. A couple of questions:
I have a BestBuy in a local town about 20 minutes away from me and there is an OfficeMax in that same local. Online, the OfficeMax of course says "Backordered" in this particular store when I search for it. The BestBuy shows it in stock, however I haven't called them to verify yet.
I see BestBuy also has the 16gb model at a similar price to the 32gb that is on sale at OfficeMax.
Will they try to play this off as being that one and thus not be inclined to give me the "price match" offer?
Should I ask them over the phone about the "price match" when calling to verify they actually have the 32gb in stock before making the trip OR would it be best to just show up with the Ad?
Is a salesman the person I present the ad to OR should I just walk in and go to the customer service desk with it?
Sorry for the goofy questions, just trying to have both ores in the water so I have the best chance at getting this accomplished.
