Other than ebay, where can I get an unlocked hero? I know there's a site called 'puremobile' or 'purephones' or something... there was a site that I was on yesterday that had unlocked Hero's for $520 which is a perfect price but I can't seem to remember where that was.
LOL they have them on ebay for around 400 or even less if your lucky.
Mind pasting some links? Because I'm looking on EBay and all I see is $550 and up right now.
Have you tried Handtec? i bought my HD from there, dunno if they have a US Site tho
Hmm... I'm not sure if they will ship to the states... Any others?
Puremobile - Canadian retailer
Negri Electronics - I got mine from here. It was already unlocked (the Telus version), so I didn't have to pony up for an unlock code. Ships from Wisconsin
i Would check out play.com or similar sites, they sell unlocked (simfree) handsets , i would avoid ebay or any sites like that
Hello just registered
I am exactly looking for same thing.Please someone help me I will buy from US.
What i came accross was ;
http://www.integrontech.com/HTC-Hero-Unlocked-QuadBand-White-p/htc-hero-wht.htm
499 bucks.
But is this site safe ? And i read something like this about them ? But i guess this problem can be solved with ROM update right ?
DO NOT BUY FORM THIS COMPANY. i bought a htc hero, it came in quickly but could only be set up in enlish with three asian countries, no possiblities to be set up in USA or any other country. Once you set up english in either Malaysian, Cambodia, or Indonesia then you get english key board but still has asian symbols so you don't to use full effect of keypad. Also it does not have andriod market or any upgrade programs. i tried to call the company, no answer, then i sent them 8 yes 8 emails asking them to contact me and not one single reply so now my return deadline has passed. i contacted better business beruea and if i don't hear from them soon i will contact them via my brother who lucky for me works FBI in the southern florida district and has police friends to get something moving on this scam. they robbed me of 499.00 dollars and i am not happy. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AND AMAZON SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO USE THEM.

Expansys in the UK are a top notch company.
www.importgsm.com is another got mine from them unlocked.
Mod edit: eBay link removed for breach of the forum rules.
Well.. the subject says a lot about my concern..
But the specific issue would be: Will I get the Android updates in India, if I'm using a N4 bought from UK?
PS: I believe there won't be any radio issues because they are anyway selling same N4's worldwide! Please confirm, someone?
PPS: Its N4 in the status! G4 is a typo *sort of*
Yes you should get the updates and your calling / internet should work with your Indian service provider frequency too.
I m getting one too
hey ..I am also getting one from UK. My friend will bring that for me. Can you tell me how much will be taxes and shipping over the 279 pound price.
PS : shipping to London not India :good:
Tax (VAT) is included in the price, shipping we don't know for sure yet, but it's looking like £9.99
Can anyone bring one for me
Thanks for the replies guys!
I'll ask a friend to bring one with her when she comes to India. Also, I've no idea about the shipping/ taxes but it will anyday be less than the ebay price of ~27k (16GB) in India ..
One more question. I read somewhere that phones bought in UK will be registered on Google Play with a UK account only. Is that true?
*sorry for the newb-ness*
Nope.

That's not true, there is no such thing as a "UK Account" all Google Accounts are international. My dad bought a One X in India with a Google Account he made there, and he brought it back to Australia, and it's fine. Jellybean Update, the lot. However, there are a bunch of Indian apps, like Bollywood Music Streaming, and AirIndia, that are still on the phone. But besides, that it's great.

That sounds great. As a matter of fact, that very reassuring! Thanks for sharing! ..
I believe the Indian apps should anyway vanish after installing a custom ROM!
Will be available in India by 30 Nov.:good: (confirmed)

That isn't too long a wait to make!
But the bigger question is, what would be the price?
Nexus 7 launched at 17,000, almost a double of what it meant in $$ exchange terms!
Its not released here in Norway but I got a friend to buy me one from USA. Anyone had a handon experience with this?

I ordered mine, still says "New" under status I guess next day shipping means next week or month shipping?
Even samsung is out of stock
Just received mine, now trying to get it to run correctly on a custom ROM. ...
They're region locked (Thanks Oculus/Facebook ****ers!) so you'll have no luck in norway.
Hello everyone,
I am eagerly waiting to preorder the much-awaited S8(+), but since I do not live in any of the regions which traditionally supply the dual sim variant (South Korea? India? Singapore? China? Thailand?) I would like to know if any supplier is well known for forwarding a dual-sim S8 to Europe, and if so which one would you advise choosing.
My guess is preorders will be quickly saturated so I would like to know where I could get my hands on a dual sim S8 as early as possible
Thank you xda!
Me too, for import to France
In my opinion best dual sim versions coming from UAE. Currently I have s7 edge duos from UAE, and is perfect. Looks same like EU version (even address on backplate is UK). I had in the past s6 duos from china, all documentation in Chinese, also China address on the back. However it was working perfect.
Anyone know reliable online shop in UAE, who shipping to UK?

There is none reliable online store and I don't recommend buying from there as as difficult to get local warranty, still if you want to buy than get it from someone working or living there like friend or relative etc.
Saying reliable online store I mean, real store with good recommendation, who will send device to me without any problems. Unfortunately I don't know any person living there...

I don't agree with many ppl here.. There are lots or reliable sources in uae, well known local online stores with a track record, i personally bought from them (and i live in dubai) and i know for a fact that they ship to many customers in Europe (reading from few other threads on xda related to Samsung products) try Mike&Smith uae and try mygsm uae.. Just Google them.. Hope this helps as i did buy from both many times..
I contacted mygsm uae. They will have s8 duos in stock next week, Shipping to UK is £20, so I will use them

WooooW i never thought they will get it that fast, am already on the waiting list for several sellers here in dubai. Good luck for us.
Thank you for all the advice, mygsm does not display price yet and Mike&Smith sells the S8+ for 4000AED (1020€) which is crazy expensive, will any reseller be cheaper, or is there any other dual-sim friendly country which may sell it for less?

This is the price for early birds, give it sometime till the official release, and the price will drop down.. These are my trusted sources whom i used for a while, can't advice on any that i didn't try..
Hi anyone heard anything regarding demo to see in hand in london ?
just saw both S8 in 3 UK so they should be available everywhere.
funny they dont have yet G6
Seen the S8+ Black in both EE and O2 in the City. Nice phone and reminds me of my Note 7. Not in a huge rush since we got brushed off this time around. Pretty poor that we get nothing and the US get the VR....

Pretty useless if you already have cover elsewhere like I do with my contents insurance. Would much rather have the VR. I have never lost nor broken a phone...ever. It would be nice to have the option to choose at least. We pay more in the UK and get less, not the best sales tactic.
Edit- Thanks for the info though. Appreciated.
yeah I will want VR more but this year again USA will get free VR.
