STAY TUNED ! Just got my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 P6800 Baby in my Hands

Good lookin out. However I was on an Australian forum...you'll have to Google search Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 forum to find it but there were a few members that found Australian retailers selling below $500.
For you prospective US buyers, Negri so far has had the lowest price I've found (their price include shipping) and is in the $570 range. Still pricey.
But really not much more than the 8.9 and you get so many more features on the 7.7.
I'm ordering this tab this weekend....can't wait finally to have it in my hands!!!

Also ,if ordering from Negri ,put in the word "GIFT" in the coupon blank at check out and get another $30 off til 1/31/12 to make it $542 US with free shipping.
It was at my house in 3 days as they ship fast.
The part that Negri doesn't mention is it's the Hong Kong version and doesn't come with a US AC plug adapter.I already had one so no big deal for me.

Guess I should have clarified that I got the P6810 for that price. Just checked Negri and you are correct that the P6800 is about $100 more.

There are a few reputable sellers listing the 6800 on ebay now.

Hey, thanks for all the info ..I ordered a P6810 (WiFi only) from Negri today. Same price with the coupon at check out for $542 US w/free shipping. Great tip on the coupon, really appreciate the that!!
If this doesn't come with a US AC adapter where does one find one at?
Also since it's the Asian version, I guess it comes with Chinese language as the default? A setting change I presume at set up. However do you know if the keyboard will be in Chinese as well?
They say they are sending directly from Nevada, so I am in Florida right now...will see how long it takes.
For those of us with the WiFi only, an option you have is to get a personal "MiFi" hotspot. I got mine as a pay as you go device from T-Mobile. I can connect at 4G LTE speeds most of the time with my old tablet. I just top off the MiFi when I know I will be on the road.

Yes DO NOT buy from SimplyElectronics.. trust me.!
I had a US power adapter included with my purchase given to me by the cell dealer.
Also once the settings change has been made everything including the keyboard will switch to the selected language.

Okay see you in a few weeks then
No seriously, just search the web and find us one guy who has already received his Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Simply Electronics! They claim to have stock since a few months but everything that I've read even recently, tends to show they don't have any in stock.

You'll just need a 2 prong AC cord to replace the big 3 prong one. They are like $3-$4 on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1&_nkw=2 prong ac cord&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283
Like this....

ebay is the best place got mine for 6 bucks

If i order from negri would it be safe to use my credit card.

Why not buy here?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG-...=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item1e6a194d20
bye
with paypal, no risk

thats just wifi version

Thanks! I actually mentioned that being the Asian version of the 7.7 it would require a U.S, AC plug adapter. Negri said they would include it in the box with the tablet.
I got confirmation of the order, and confirmation of the shipping with a FedEx tracking number. I should receive the tab on Thurs 1/26. This is within the time expected for the "free" shipping option I chose when I ordered from Negri.
I also ordered the OEM Samsung case for the 7.7. Thanks for the recommendation on that vendor (http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/62515) it wwas the best price as well. Also got an order confirmation and shipping tracking order from them as well.

I ordered my original SGT 7" from Simply Electronics. They were the cheapest place at the time. I think I paid around $630 last year. Anyway, I received it very fast by DHL.
My only problem/concern was that they don't tell you that the item is coming to you from Hong Kong. I had a problem with one that I bought from eBay first that I thought was coming from the U.K. It had a lot of Korean Apps. I think that it had been flashed as the package came from Slovakia.
So, when I got the one from S/E, and saw that it also had a lot of Korean Apps on it, I contacted them and they said that they try to send version that are for the correct country. They also offer a one year warranty. The only problem was that I had sent both of my tablets to Samsung Repair Centre in the U.K. to have them flash it to the correct English versions(I bricked the first one by flashing the wrong CSC).
So, just from my experience, I didn't have any problems and had I not already sent it back to the U.K. to have them officially flash them(Yes, I do know how now , I could have sent it back to Simply Electronics and they would have sent me a U.K. version. So, I think they are pretty legit from my experience. As they always say, YMMV.
Hope that helps in any way one way or the other.

So who have you or will preorder with?

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..
We'll see...

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.

[INFO] UK/EU Keyboard Dock Availability and Tracking Thread

Just thought i'd get this thread started. No sites found so far.
It's on websites, it just comes back as not existing. So far seen it on the following sites:
Comet: http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Tablets/buy-ASUS-Eee-PAD-TRANSFORMER-BUNDLE-Tablet/717711 which says discontinued but isn't available through normal product selection I found it via google. The product code 717711 is however the code on their systems.
PC World: It's available to select but then says it's no longer available
Amazon: Released June 1st
Laskys: Showing as Temporarily out of stock
Will follow this and update if either Comet or PC World receive any next week as I get 10% off both through my work so only really checking them. I have a mate who's a sales manager at the local PC World store and is going to phone head office and find out what's happening so will let you know when I hear.
Ebuyer.com also have the bundle on their website, with the same ETA as amazon.co.uk: 1st of June
It shows up on amazon.fr with a "coming soon" message.
A lot of Swiss websites have it listed (digitec.ch claims a late June date ETA for the dock, while others have a late May date, around 27-31).
Just a suggestion: it would be nice to modify the first post in this thread to include links to all websites listing it along with the ETA currently announced on each of them.
Anybody knows a good place to get a seperate keyboard? I read on the Asus UK FB that the retailers only ordered bundles, but are there still some (e-)shops that have them? I checked Amazon, Carphone Warehouse, Comet, Ebuyer, Laskys and PC World but they all sell bundles or tablets...

I hate to contradict you but nobody is selling the bundle in Europe as of now. They have it listed on their site but it's either not available for order or you can just pre-order (with an estimated availability date of 1st of June). The dock itself I've only seen in Switzerland, at digitec.ch, for 129 Swiss francs (~100 EUR, ~90 GBP).

That's what I meant, I know they don't ship the bundles out yet.
Thanks for the tip, Digitech seems to have a reasonable price. Downside is availability expected late June. Hopefully in those two months I've obtained one already!
laskys.com have both the tablet only and the bundle in stock, for those of you living in UK. They don't do international shipping unfortunately
Hi,
Scan are also showing pre-orders on these, with no date known: -
www DOT scan DOT co.uk/search.aspx?q=TF101
first post so no links for me.
Feels like i've been here for ages tho, read the entire bricked transformer thread to try and put me off. Still searching tho.
Comet are now showing delivery in 10 days of the bundle?
Comet are selling the bundle again for delivery on the 16th of May.
Asus Finland confirmed on a email that transformer Scandinavian keyboard should be coming out May.
Verkkokauppa.com is saying that they will have 16GB transformer+scandi keyboard package in 3-5 weeks.
I have just ordered with Comet for delivery on the 16th of May and cancelled my Amazon preorder as they still cannot say when they will be able to supply my order. I asked them where I was in the preorder queue to get an idea of timescale and they said they couldn't even access that information - useless.
At least if I have an issue with the unit supplied from Comet I can take it back to my local store as opposed to having to send it away to Amazon and wait for weeks.
Good find on Comet, I'll go in the local store tomorrow and see if they've got an update on stock coming in to the store as my discounted vouchers can't be used online.
annoying that you cant cancell your order on comet, ive already bought the non keyboard version, and now the have the keyboard version avaliable.
Laskys - in stock from 10th delivery 16th May?
Spoke to Laskys.com (UK) - expecting tablet/dock bundle on the 10th May and posted (free at the mo) for 16th same as Comet IIRC - if you go through Topcashback you get £15 cash back !!
Went into Comet today and got my first hands on with the tablet only and has confirmed I definitely want one I managed to connect it to my SGSII WiFi and gave the guy the product code for the bundle so he checked on the system which said stock is coming into the distribution center on 10th so will be in store by 16th or 17th which is why delivery from the site is that date too.
Anyone who ordered dock from Asus got it yet or been informed when they will receive it
sent from my E Pad Transformer........without a leedroid rom :-(

Not to be nitpicking but the UK is in the EU just so you know OP.

USA Note Users, where did you buy your Note, and for how much?

I think it would be helpful to make a thread so we can all make the right buying decision. There are no wrong answers, of course, and I realize some may not want to give a dollar amount, but from most of the posts I have seen people have been pretty open about the $
I for one am hoping that the Note will come to a country with a more favorable exchange rate than those with the Euro or the Pound..
Edit: I see this post is very similar to another recent post that I missed, so if you bought yours from the USA, no need to double post here
http://handtec.co.uk about GBP 430 (the "SIM free Network" model), GBP 14 for FedEx. UK to Hawaii in 2 days, a day earlier than the tracking schedule!
I got mine from unlockedmobiles.com for $805 US. (about 504 british pounds)

[UK] Nexus 7 UK Discussion Thread

Hi there!
I just purchased a Nexus 7 FHD 32GB from scan for £239.99, Their site says i will get it on the 28th but it has not been marked dispatched yet, and release date for UK is the 30th. So all you UK customers come out and say what deal you got where and how you intend to purchase your brand new baby. Make this a thread for all UK customers to see where and how they can get their nexus 7, and if you have had issues, tell us your story.
I will update OP for any info that may need to be at top.
For an overview of the Nexus 7 and Chromecast release check this video.
DEALS
16GB
Tesco Direct: £199 LINK
SCAN: £199.39 LINK
32GB
Tesco Direct: £239 LINK
SCAN: £239.18 LINK
I think the launch date is the 28th for UK. I have pre-ordered from Tesco - 16G wifi only for £179 (including the bank holiday offer of £20 off tesco direct). Tesco states launch on the 28th, expect delivery before 2nd. Hoping it might arrive by the weekend but probably depends on volume of preorders.
Yeah, UK launch is tomorrow, 28th. I plan to walk nonchalantly into my local Argos and pick one up in the morning.
Ebuyer shipped mine to me last week, had 2 of them in my hands by Friday
I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk, 32 GB, shipped to NL for 299 euro.
Estimated delivery time August 30/31.
Does anybody knows a site in the UK where the nexus 7 is available that ships internationally and also uses Paypal for paying?(Other then Ebay)
I chased my currys pre-order today. They still had it down for delivery after September 13th, they pushed the order through as they did have stock but said it would be delivered in a couple of days. Being impatient as I am in asked them to cancel the order and ordered from ebuyer who have plenty in stock.
It's due for delivery tomorrow now and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I might have accidentally upgraded to the 32gb model in the process but shhhh... I haven't told the missus yet, I'm hoping she won't notice!
Had anyone else ordered from currys?

Purchased mine from Ebuyer on Monday and it should arrive Wednesday. Cannot wait.
Just checked the Play Store out of curiosity - the new Nexus 7 is live. I presume it went live at midnight. Ordered mine from Ebuyer though, to get it on Thursday.
Any discount code from the retailers? Planning of getting the 32GB WiFi, but considering LTE.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Mine should arrive this morning, just a few hours, I hope the ones in the uk are a fresh batch with lower defect rate. It seems the prices have levelled off at £199 for 16GB and £239 for 32GB, I have not seen the LTE variant yet but i believe that would go for £299 32GB, but again i am not sure. :laugh:
I paid for the Express AM service from Parcelforce on Ebuyer so it might be here in the next hour or so. I literally cannot wait.

Got mine in PC World this morning, after going Click & Collect and getting the whole dickhead salesman monologue- "You should buy one of these MiFi things so you can go online on the go despite having just told me you have a 1GB mobile allowance for tethering and rarely use more than 200MB of it", "Oh you need to buy antivirus, whenever you go online with it you could catch a virus", "Here's a case for it [Points to Nexus 7 Mk 1 case], you should totally get one in case you drop it", "You should take out our Piece of Mind plan that's twice what your accidental damage premium is, in case you GET A VIRUS or you DROP IT TWICE".
After all that the ****ing thing had some of the Taiwanese wildlife wedged into the bezel where it got crushed when they installed the glass and the display suffered from major touchscreen fail. Went straight back and got it replaced for a unit which, mercifully, works fine. Great device.

PSA for people looking to import

Update for guys looking to buy from Taiwan. Don't buy from 23port. He doesn't have the phones available, he takes your money and then waits for Asus to get them in stock. This is the email response I got from him about my purchase
"We have received your payment on Mar. 28, and we will check the available time with Taiwan ASUS and update you soon, and we will provide tracking number after shipment. Please kindly note. Have a nice day."
I contacted eBay after that and they are taking action against his listing since in their words "he is luring people in to buying an item he doesn't have, without stating it's a preorder and that he doesn't actually have the item".
Just wanted to give a heads up since I'm now at the mercy of either getting a refund from the seller or waiting until the 7th for buyer protection to kick in.
You might want to ask sellers if they actually have the item in stock, it's not guaranteed that they will answer truthfully, but these guys are taking people's money and sitting on it until Asus Taiwan has stock available. Who knows how long that could be in all honesty.

I ordered from him Thursday and my phone arrived Today. There were two listings. One preorder, the other one showed availability. Not saying this wasn't your case but I had a totally different experience with him
^^
Same here I ordered and got mine in 2 days, FedEx express
Well I ordered the 4GB with 32GB storage for 350 plus 25 fedex shipping. Ordered it Friday morning my time, asked him today about the status and that's when he said he had to contact Asus about the availability and would let me know. None of the ads I've seen by him have said anything about preorder. Maybe when you ordered he had supply but now he doesn't. If he had supply he would have shipped my phone already and wouldn't have said he needs to contact Asus and that he'll update me.

Ohh man not doubting you. Sad that we had different experiences with the same seller. His attention with me was top notch and response time too.

I didn't think you were but some people might. I was hoping I'd have it within two days like every one else but that's not the case I guess. I can't wait weeks to get a phone unfortunately. I'm thinking that some of the other sellers don't have supply either, that's why they're putting the delivery date so far out. They're hoping people will buy expecting delivery in mid April and that gives them enough time to wait for more stock from Asus.

Today, they are dropping it in France. My delivery date was April 1-3. Was surprised at how quickly it got here.

There are some sellers with the delivery date as Apr. 10th-Apr. 21st. Which gives plenty of time for them to wait on new stock while you're waiting for the end of April to get it.

That really sucks. I will tell u this: phone is solid. Only disappointment is the battery cover. Feels like cheap plastic simulating a metal brush finish. Looks like it may break when prying apart to insert sim card and SD. Really glad I got a case for it.

Yeah I've been super stoked to get it since I saw it, sold my OPO and a Note 3, bought my son a Moto G 2014 and myself the ZF2, but now I have to use my son's phone since the ZF2 isn't coming.

I have another warning: Don't buy from OE USA (advertising on Amazon) either. They're selling an entry level ZE500CL as ZE551ML as they specified the phone. Luckily Amazon has good customer protection but you may face a lot of troubles buying totally false phone.

By the way what is g19800720?
I guess I learned my lesson well. I'm returning cheap entry level phone which was sold on Amazon as a ZE551ML. At least partially you can blame all mess on Asus, which would never provided clear specs of variety of models around.
Now I'm quite positive that currently you can't buy any other ZE551ML than Taiwanese. And right now Asus has in production European (ww) model which will be on the market in France and Italy at the end of this month (on the web as well). And maybe Chinese model will be selling at the same time too.
Later, probably at the end of May after announcement in the event in New York the US model is coming to the market. And that's pretty all.
