Hey mates,
You all knows there are countries like India where nexus 7 has been overpriced like doubled than US price of N7 ,
So my question to you, what you decided to do now ? As i was wating for this tab from some months but now due to such overpricei am unable to understand what should i do .
I know i can ask anyone to ship from other country but I have no any relatives from other countries to ship from US or any other countries,
& If i ask to any international shipper then also it goes high price with customs duty & taxes.
My last dcsn will be to buy samsung tab 2 as i cant wait more time,
So tell me guys whats your plans to buy Nexus 7 32 GB + 3G model !!!!
It was completely expected wasn't it ? Anyhow my last hope is ebay !

It was always Expected that Nexus 7 would launch in that Range..Those who though otherwise probably dont know that the price in Other parts of the world doesn't matter...it will always be Expensive In India...and Tab2 doesn't even come close to the Nexus...That is what i would call a waste of money.
Is there any chances to get from other country like US ? Any way ? & is there any better option than N7?

Even with Express Shipping, Insurance, and Customs Duty you can pick up a 32 GB N 7 at less price than the MRP (before taxes) here. Bought a 32G N7 for a total cost of Rs 18669.25

Sign up with Borderlinx.com
Buy from either adorma.com or http://www.jr.com/
and have it shipped to your Borderlinx address. Have them forward it to you. The whole thing takes a week. You should have your N7 in 10 days.

I ordered from this Guy:-
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Asus-Google-...s_Tablets&hash=item2a25ca27ac#ht_46.99wt_1139
He shipped and delivered quite fast
Buddy i know galaxy tab 2 lacks quad core processor and i know that it will not get nexus like firmware update .but believe me its a great device.i own it.and it play hd games great.
And it is getting jelly bean soon.
So if you want to buy it go for it you will not regret.
Also your choice may depends on your needs.
Like if you want multimedia device get tab 2,want os updates as soon as released and extreme gaming choose nexus(tab 2 performs good in gaming but obviously nexus dominates due to quad core).

By chance, anyone some insights about available colors? Black & white from the start or white one first again? Also, about payment options and from where they are shipping - guessing de,uk,fr or it.

White with 16GB for €399, black with 32GB for €429, free shipping inside the EU I believe which is a very good price.

Yep, saw that already and ordered 2 black ones
It's a shame, though, that there are so few colors for the cases available.
This device doesn't support UMTS 900 MHz which is a must-have here in Europe. All current phones sold here support it. Oppo is apparently not 100% prepared to launch this device in Europe. It's not as simple as take a phone that's sold in Asia and just sell it here, other manufacturers have variants for a reason or just make multi-band devices.

This is official info from their page:
http://europe.oppostyle.com/home/8-find-5-white.html (Specifications tab).
It supports 900 MHz only on very slow 2G (edge speed). And in Europe many carriers use 900 MHz for UMTS/3G so all phones support it.
Ordered a black one last night, looks a decent phone for the price.

Thanks for spotting that. Rather odd being as at least as far as the UK is concerned both Vodafone & O2 use the 900 MHz band.
Russian version of this phone include UMTS 900 Mhz support.

Must say I'm struggling to get a response from the CS team on the new euro website. I submitted 2 simple questions on Tuesday morning and no reply as yet so if anyone here can help with these I would really appreciate it:
1. I live in the UK and am curious to know where in Europe they are shipping from. I really want be able to order and receive the phone within a couple of days max and not the 7-23 days they say are standard. I'm expecting and fully willing to pay for this.
2. Does the phone ship factory sealed?
Any help much appreciated

Did someone in Germany order a Find5 and received it and if so, can you tell me who deliverd it? I got an email from Oppo stating it's been shipped and if I enter the tracking number on the RoyalMail's site, it says it already landed in Germany, but doesn't state who took care of it and no new tracking id either.

Hi, I'd like some tips to choose which model of Note3 to buy in China.
SM-NXXX or tips to not get scammed.

Don't buy it in China

my best advice, get your note 3 in your country, and from an authorized vendor, you will be covered against any malfuction or quality issues, the money you coul probably save buying on line, will never amount to the peace of mind a warranty offers you, I have returned some phones 3 or four, always getting a new one, if you buy on line, and specially fron china, what will you do in case of a sudden death or something else?
the forum is plagued with cases of people asking for help due to malfunctions that otherwise could have been solved through an authorized dealer in their respective countries, think about this, luck

If you want to have 4g then you cannot but one from China Mainland, none of them support 4g lte. You need to get one from Hongkong(SM-N9005). Do not get the SM-N900 as it is 3g only as well.
Here is the main ones you can buy from China/Hongkong:
9002: dual sim version, wcdma+gsm
9006: wcdma version
9008: TD-scdma version
9009: dual sim version, cmda2000+gsm
9005: 4g version, parallel imported from hongkong
900: wcdma. dual quad cores
Hi all!
I have a friend, who lives in Hong Kong and would be able to easily buy and get the phone back to me (his sister is an air stewardess) so yay for me. The 64gb option works out to be about £410-420 taking into account currency rates, which is a massive saving!
Problem is:
1) I can't check the Hong Kong version of the Google store so I can't check the availability but my friend says it's not there yet. Does anyone know when they usually stock it? I've tried using Hola extension to see if I could emulate an Hong Kong I.P address but didn't get anywhere with that.
2) Will be any band issues etc if I was to use the phone here with a sim-only contract here in the UK? How would after-sales work?
Thanks for any help!
2. HK should be the international version and fine for the UK. Zero aftersales unless you return it via the route you got it.
I'm visiting Hong Kong today and tomorrow. Can you buy the international version In any shops or is it only the Play store?
so the OG roms google released are only for one model. Since they have two Nexus 6p does the same OEM roms work on both models?
i.e. these:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#angler
The best way is to ask your friend to order one sim free in the UK and send it to HK. So that you can enjoy the VAT free but to pay £20 something for delivery. Then send it back to UK for you. You will also have the local customer service in the UK.
However, I think those UK sim free vendor with international delivery does not have stock at this moment.

Hmm yes that is an option but then I'll have to deal with getting the tax back etc. I think I'll risk it with getting one from HK as it'll be a bit more straight forward. There doesn't seem to be any quality control issues does there?! Hopefuly I'll get a good one and won't ever need to worry about returning it etc..

Am I right in thinking you're talking about some ROM and not the fact the HK version will be different/difficult for me to use in the UK?
No, I'm saying the HK should be the international version with UK bands fully supported. The US version only supports some of the UK LTE bands.
HK version support below freq (6P) - it lists
GSM/EDGE：850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS/WCDMA：B1/2/4/5/6/8/9/19
TD-SCDMA：34/39
CDMA：BC0/1
LTE (FDD)：B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/17/19/20/28

The model number shown on the webpage of the retailer is SM-G935FTKDXSG. Will this phone work in India with respect to making calls and also LTE bands for 4G? How do I find out if its unlocked or not? Will VoLTE, Samsung pay work in India? Also, for warranty, is there some way to get Indian warranty?

The model number shown on the webpage of the retailer is SM-G935FTKDXSG. Will this phone work in India with respect to making calls and also LTE bands for 4G? How do I find out if its unlocked or not? Will VoLTE, Samsung pay work in India? Also, for warranty, is there some way to get Indian warranty?

This phone will work in India with respect to making calls and LTE connection. But VoLTE will not work. Not sure about Samsung Pay because I don't use it.
Also, nothing can be done about the warranty.
BTW I use an S7 edge bought from Dubai in India

Thanks for the reply! Where did you get the phone from, and for what price? Where would you recommend I but it from? Also, are you aware of any other features being different between this phone from dubai and the one in India? Have you faced any problems with the phone till now? And, does the phone have warranty inside UAE or not?
Thanks for the help!

I got the phone from the website souq.com for a pretty low price compared to the market price. Most shops in Dubai usually just increase the price for no reason.
My phone also came with one year warranty (Only in UAE).
My phone is almost 6 months old and I've had no problems at all with the phone. Really happy with it.
Yes you can use it with voLTE and SPay. Just flash Indian firmware on the firmware and you're good to go.

No, there is not a difference. I think it's around 1800 there and for that money it's so value for money. Nothing gets better than this phone at that price. Myself using a UAE phone. Get this model 935FD dual sim version.
And, don't get from souq. Not heard good opinion about them from people who live there.

I'm not in the UAE myself, so will have to ask someone to get it for me. Could you please tell me where to buy it from? souq.com shows price as 1900 AED for 128gb version. Where do I ask my friend to buy it from? And model number is 935FD or SM-G935FTKDXSG? Thanks man!

Hey check this phone out from souq.com:
https://uae.souq.com/ae-en/samsung-...-128gb-4gb-ram-4g-lte-black-pearl-12075981/i/
It comes with a one year official Samsung gulf warranty.
When I got my phone 6 months ago I paid 2000dhs. And I've had no problems at all with my device.

I bought my Nexus 5 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. Then I bought my S7 edge from there 6 months ago and it has no issues.
My brother bought his LG G3 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. He bought his LG G5 recently (around the same time I got my S7 edge) and he has no issues with his device whatsoever.
All these devices from souq.com
The site is good as long as you buy from a good dealer. Since anyone can setup a shop on the site, there might be some people trying to sell bad stuff. Just buy from the trusted dealers and you'll be fine.
I don't think Samsung issues international warranty. My home appliances are Samsung branded which doesn't have and one more using the firmware of UAE Volte will definitely not work unless you flash indian package on your mobile that's why I said no.

Hey are you 100% sure that we can flash Indian firmware on a Dubai model using ODIN?
I am on some custom ROM on my dubai phone but I really want to shift to the latest OREO INS Stock via ODIN. So that I have everything working smoothly including jio VOLTE. Please let me know if you have tried and tested this as I don't want to brick my phone
Also do I have to tick anything special on ODIN? I've been reading about people saying to tick re partition if coming from Dubai model?

Just make sure you buy the international variant applicable to any model of Samsung. Experience wise I usually buy my phone from Sohar, Oman and use it in Manila and didn't encounter any issues whatsoever.
