Short and Sweet.
I want One and I want one NOW.
If you are anywhere that sells the new XDA2 let me know and I will arrange some thing.
Contract free of corse
Unlocked , sim free, no ties,, JUST IT HAS TO BE LEGAL>
Or I will have you talked to
O2 Shop in Cambridge has some available
(or 1 less when I get there shortly )
[Edit to add - hadn't refreshed the screen since your original post :roll: so didn't notice the sim free bit :roll: ]
Any Idea on cost ?
I am in currently Australia.. But I can have some one pop up there.
Do you know the price and do they sell them contract free. I just want the unit. No plans or nothing.
I'm from France, and I just phone O2...
Unfortunatelly, they want you to have a bank account in UK to sell it to you, (because of the 12 months contract, I think !)
I told them, I can pay the whole thing in one time, but no way ... , and they don't sell it SIM FREE :x , even full price .
So sorry ... :?
£349 & not Sim Free
Hum so maybe not available as a walkin and buy it thing.
And then they wonder why there is such a big market in stolen and simunlocked equipment.
Stupid airtime people.
So to cost it further.
£349 for the phone
£20 x 12 for the contract + £20 for last month
I would be happy at £609. Is that a lot in this world I ask ?
**** I would make that back in the first application I develop for one person.
But still pinching pennys ...
Is there a charge for having the phone unlocked (by O2)
so that it is sim free after the contract ?
I assume that I can just terminate the contract early giving notice and the outstanding amount or let my mate use free time on the Sim for the year.
then cancel it after that.
If we looked at this with a slant.
The Telcos (service providors) are using Phones like the tobacco companies use the cigerette.
Once you are hooked the device is just the method of delivering the services that will generate ongoing revenue from your useage.
Steve
Totaly slanted
£15 per month....
Wait to see how long it takes before someone on here works out how to unlock it & save the money
Getting better.
Hum ok calculator out again.
15 x 12 wow thats only £23.50 including vat.
£544 plus unlocking charge.. ?? Looking better.
Has any body ever paid it if so how much was it and is it the same for all phones.!
Steve
dont you have to add the price of sending the xda2 across the earth if it's from uk in a manner which makes sure it's not damaged ?
On US eBay, www.ebay.com, search i mate
98 items for sale "Buy it Now" at US$ 999.00 shipping included by FedEx,
unlocked.
Shipped from Hong Kong (O2 Asia) but seller is in San Francisco.
Seller's feedback looks OK.
Expensive, yes, but if you are rushed...
They are kicking about on expansys now for £572
T-mobile in Germany for EUR 605
And @ T-mobile in Germany for EUR 605.00 simlock free.
But then you have the German language operation system.
1. What a diff between UK & GR ? How come
2. How do we solve the German bit ?
Hi everyone,
Like a lot of people, I'm totally in love with The N1
I live in Belgium and I'm looking for a solution to have this little baby near me !
First question for those who already have the N1 in their pocket: Can you tell me the exact dimensions of the packet delivered by the postal service ?
I mean... not only the Nexus's box, all the package, also the weight ?
Second question: Can someone send me a Nexus One to Belgium ^^ ? from UK or US LOL, pay for it for sure !
thx in advance
JooL
Check PM
Someone else for answers ?
I would also like the know the dimensions of the box it ships in.
I'm also interested, can you post answers in the topic itself?
I've registered for a USA post address with http://www.myus.com. There you can get an address in Florida. Make sure you fill that address in as your default shipping address in Google Checkout.
After that, find a USA-based proxy server that supports https, fill in the details in your browser's proxy settings and proceed to the Nexus One ordering page. That was all it took for me (based in the Netherlands)
I've ordered my Nexus One on Jan. 6 and I've just been informed that it arrived on my address in Florida. MyUS will now ship it to me in the Netherlands.
Please note that creating an account with MyUS costs $10 initially, and because the address is in Florida, Google will charge Florida sales tax (about $36). Also, MyUS will charge about $60 to send the package to your actual address in Europe.

What did you do with the declared value? Possible to write it down or send as gift? Otherwise it would be cheaper to wait when the phone is released in each country with adherent warranty.
thx for info.
inf act I know the procedure with Borderlinx, same thing that myus
The thing is to jump the hole ^^

No, no tricks with declared value. Just cough up the 19% VAT here in Holland I'm afraid. But we'll see that when it arrives here, probably next week. Total costs including tax in the Netherlands will be about 550 euros I estimate.
Of course it will probably be cheaper to wait, but hey... I want it NOW!
Guys I might have a brand new nexus for sale pretty soon and I am willing to ship it to europe just to cover my costs as I don't want to be stuck with 2 phones.
I am not looking at making a profit just whatever I get charged + shipping to europe.
If anyone is interested PM me.. I should be expecting delivery of the second phone by around wednesday next week.

In some countries here in Europe you have to pay more than 30 % additional charges (VAT + customs).

Of course every individual has to decide for themself, based on the %'s to be paid in their country. I can only talk for the Netherlands, and here it's 19%.
In Norway there are 25% completely ****t
If someone else is interested in sending a Nexus to Belgium... ^^
or give the precise dimensions of the package ?

Just for the ones that are not in the EU (customs duty is 0%).
You can use a service like Borderlinx and and IP changer like Hotsporshield to order your N1 via an address in the US to your address in Belgium or whereever in the world
I just declared mine as a GIFT and the price only $335 USD to avoid paying taxes. This is my first time doing such a thing but I've heard it's common. So hope everything works out, no insurance.
Juse use bongous.com you won't have to pay any sale tax ! They are based in Connecticut.
the "trick" send package with gift mention don't work anymore, or very few times...
too much people used that, now they're watching carefully.
Nevertheless, I hope urs will arrive with no extra costs or duty
I wait for daleski's proposal, I think it's a good thing
Can order 1 more for someone in Belgium (PM for more info's).
Will you be insuring your dhd ? carriers always used to try to bundle it in at point of dale - and dont seem to do this anymore...
how much would i pay for an annual policy to insure my dhd against accidental damage.
I have a 2 yr contract and need to make this bloody thing last!
thx
You've just reminded me that I need to notify my insurance company that I've switched phones.
I wouldn't go without the peace of mind I get from insurance. I used the insurance offered by T-Mobile. Last year my phone was stolen at the gym. I realised it was stolen at 11am, by 3pm T-Mobile had a new phone in my hand. Top service!

Thx Basil!
Can you tell e the company and price please?
thx
You can get annual insurance at insureandgo : http://gadget.insureandgo.com/
they have good deals i will be getting the silver package very soon
Think the company is phonesafe and I pay about £8 a month.
I'm sure there are better deals about but I know people who have had to wait weeks for replacement phones but mine was sorted same day.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Usual price is anywhere between £6.99 an £9.99 per month first month free with your phone provider, but if possible just add it to you HOME CONTENTS insurance - mine was £9 extra on the policy for the WHOLE YEAR!! inc Acc damage/replacement handset/calls made etc etc....
Cover is same so save yourself some cash!!
hope this helps
ps I am with RBS
jon

No i dont have any friend in US and i dont have family there /: , any other possible way ?
Not sure how far from the border you are but your best bet would be to search craigslist of a border town/city. Other than that I'm not too sure what you could do since people within the US usually don't like shipping to other countries.

How much is it to ship to Mexico. I have an extra Nexus 4 16GB still sealed from Google that I'm willing to sell.
I can order one for you and ship it down there if you're willing to pay for it all, I won't charge any more than it costs me to send down there.
PM me if you want.

It should cost $392.94 for tax and shipping from Google. Then you add shipping fees to Mexico onto that. The wait time says 5-6 weeks at the moment.
I live in Mexico, and the only way I found to buy one is usa-address+usa CC, but because I not have neither of that, I was thinking in use entropay for usa CC and a family address for deliver, also was looking for negrielectronics but it is overpriced.

Where are you from? Wait time is "sold out".... they're not accepting new purchases being made.
Negri doesn't have inventory. still set on preorder
I bought mine in google play store, and it got shipped to my uncle's house in Texas. I think it's the only way. Or you can wait for Telcel and get robbed
Yes, telcel will bring it to mexico something like 10k mexican pesos with plan, dam is too high

To me it looks to good to be true.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...
investing the time and effort into building up the feedback rating (whether legitimately or not) will pay off if he receives even just 2 or 3 orders from suckers who are prepared to believe this and order 2 phones each (notice you cannot order 1). After that, he won't care if eBay cancel his membership especially as he probably has a few accounts like this lined up...
Note that:
- nothing he has sold before was similar or close in value to the phone (although most items made private so you can't actually see what they are)
- he seems to specialise in pin badges... what are the chances he would have a stock of S4?
- you have to be pre-approved? what does that involve? I bet when you email him he asks you NOT to pay by paypal but by western union or something for some reason... typically this goes like this: "I'm doing this pre-approval because I have been let down by scammers/people bidding and then not having the funds.To approve you, I need to be sure that you have the funds, so send a western union order to yourself. YOu are not sending it to me, so it's safe, right? Then email me a scan of the order and I will know that you are a serious buyer". Once you send the email, it takes someone in a third world country 5 minutes to create ID in your name and collect the money from a (probably complicit) Western Union agent.
- No collection because he doesn't keep the stock for "security and reliability" but he can dispatch them daily?
Not many people fall for these scams(I hope)... but like i said, he only wants one or two to be in a considerable amount of profit.

oh.. and minimum order 2, but everyone who has placed a bid has only bought 1?

how can he make profit cos its paypal so ill get refunded. so where would he make money i dont understand
when i sent him e mail he replied as below
Hi,
Quick info about my items:
- 100% factory unlocked, 100% genuine Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 in original sealed boxes. I have both colors: White and Black.
- I have EU, UK and US version of the phone with 64GB. You can use them in any country with any sim card.
- The phones are bought directly from factory and also this is the reason why the prices are low. They all have 1 year international warranty.
- I can send them with DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or your preferred shipping company. The items are sent from my warehouse in Glasgow.
- Free Customs. That is right... Free Customs. I gathered a lot of experience sending items internationally and Customs are not a problem anymore.
- As you can see in my description: Pickup is not available at this time as i do not hold stock on hand for security and reliability reasons.
- I will provide IMEI and custom photos ONLY after i have payment confirmation from eBay.
Minimum order is 2 (no exceptions). My stock is greater than 20 and also you will get great discounts for bulk orders. How many phones do you want ?
Thanks
so i replied to him asked
Dear Clark,
why do i need imei number? will i get receipt for warranty, another question how have you got this phones they should be out by end april. cos i dont want replica mind you im using paypal. can you clarify those questions
kind regards
Cihan
just recieved mail from seller i cant understand much english is this a cheat?
here his e mail
They are out for sale in April but the stores already have them. Some buyers asked for IMEI so i`m including that info.
In order to complete this transaction we will use eBay payment process through eBay Buyer Protection.
How it works?
Once i start the transaction, eBay will send you an invoice with payment instructions.
Through this system the buyer pays eBay and not the seller. You will send the money to eBay by Bank Transfer. After you confirm your payment with eBay, i will receive a notification to start the delivery.
Delivery maximum time is 6 days and you have 7 days of inspection. The inspection period starts once you have the items. This means you have 7 days to decide whether i get the money or not.
In case the items are not as i described them, the transaction is canceled and eBay will send your money back in 24 hours. If they are as i described them, the transaction is completed and i will get the money from eBay.
I found this the best way to deal through eBay instead of Paypal. Also you can actually see and test my items before i get the money.
I had problems with Paypal payments made from stolen accounts and now everything i get through Paypal, even if it`s a good payment it`s frozen in seconds. Paypal is not an option for me anymore.
Let me know if you like this method.
Thanks

That has SCAM written all over it. You would have limited protection if doing this thru bank transfer rather than PayPal.
