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?

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...
Ordered 2 from Expansys - usa

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.
UPDATE... MISTAKE: It is 0.5% cashback not 5%. Sorry all!
That would bring it to £497.49
Play.com price: £499.99
Quidco Cashback: 5% (https://www.quidco.com)
Total cost: £474.99
I think that is the cheapest price in the UK. Play.com only ship mobiles to UK only though.
Very tempting.
Thanks for the link -I already ordered from Clove though - they say stock will be coming in 4th Nov.......but I might order from Play if the dates change - that's a good price!

Yes, I just call them, they reply me that, they will have the HD in stock by next week and it realy cheaper than Expansys, you can even pick it from the shop at Tottenham Court Road, I am going for it. thanks
I am tempted to go down there next week to get it.
Wow! That's a great price. Is there a catch. I a London based too. Shall we all meet up and go there together to Tottenha Court Road? BTW, Uk guys, I am on 3 network. I should be able to use my USIM in the HD right?
When is it coming out at best digital market? I am tempted but I am afraid that I will have problems with my T-Mobile sim and the phone.

Don't bother guys, to buy from bestdigitalmarket.com, the price has gone up and release date is same as expansys, lucky me that did not cancell my order with expansys..
Anybody had experience ordering from handtec.co.uk? They seem like the best price right now and a Nov 12th availability.

I've used Handtec a couple of times. On both occasions I had no problems, with quick delivery on stock items. They do seem to slightly undercut many other suppliers. They are shown as an official supplier by HTC.

Play appear to have updated their price now - to £519.99 ...
Man why can't these companies stick to one price? Why are the constantly going up and down?

you belong banned for posting that in almost every topic. at least be a man and state that it is you who is selling Touch HD on ebay.
by the way, to start bidding at 500GBP (+ 25 GBP shipping) is a rip off, dude.
According to the new CPW catalogue it's £499.99 from them.
Anyone know where I can buy a North American version of the Arc that will ship to the USA. I see it available at Best Buy Canada but they won't ship it. No one else, not even Sonystyle seems to carry it. Anyone know where to get one?
Thanks
Check the Japanese arc thread. Lot of us ordered from a Japanese seller on eBay. You have three color options with Japanese model.
To me still Japanese(Docomo) is the best option since you get all the colors unless Sonystyle starts selling them from tomorrow...
color is not a real big deal for me and the Japanese reseller wants over $200 more then what it's being sold for in canada. Any other possibilities?

its not $200 over , how did you get that
Rogers from store price including taxes is $650
so this is without ebay fees or paypal or seller profit or shipping fees
the to get the japanese one with paypal only is $720 and he is shipping from japan.
so you do the math now
Good luck
Best Buy canada is selling for $550 as well as their Sony Style stores.

Forgot about that exchange rate... But there still is paperwork with the FCC to deal with as well as 2 week international shipping wait time. I guess no one has found any place willing to ship it to the states yet. I've tried getting it shipped through rogers, sonystyle, and bestbuy and they all won't do it.

I went though this Seller from Japan.
Ordered on Sunday and received it on Wednesday (Free Shipping)
No FCC, since they already got the paper works.
You choose what is best for you, but we are trying to show you more option. You may better off till someone ship it to you from Rogers or here in the US someone starts selling them.
Good Luck
Edit: This guy on ebay sells them from Canada - Rogers

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm gonna contact the the guy from Canada, maybe we can strike a deal. If not I'll try the guy selling the ones from Japan. I'd rather get it unlocked and ready to go. It it seems unlocking and flashing the Japanese one isn't too bad. I've done some modding to my X2.
Look what showed up today on mobilecityonline for pre-order? Has anyone ordered from them? They have good reviews on Google.

You realise that the 16GB one is going to be £159 within 2 weeks?
Looks likely anyway
I bought one now at this price because I can't wait 2 weeks
In fact It's belive Monday 29th is the announcement for the 32GB N7 both with and without 3g as well as the Nexus 10, so it seems.
I was in Currys on Saturday and the N7 was £189 then. So another £10 drop in a day!?
I might believe the Verge if they could spell rumour properly..

So annoying for all the current N7 owners.
Totally stabbed us in the back...

Hello guys, how are you?
Does anyone know where to buy the S7 Edge Duos (G-935FD) in New York?
Thanks!
I don't think you can find it at any local stores in NY at this moment and if you were to you'd probably get it for a very high price. Best way is to order online from ebay (got mine from ebay) or buy from an Arab online store which is where the phone is currently available from.

But thanks a lot for the response! I will keep looking for it!

May I ask what's stopping you from buying it online from a place other than NY? I'm curious because buying online from someplace else would even save you paying taxes for it. Also you could get it from B&H which is NY based but they don't offer the Duos version as of right now.

Sure, my main concern is regarding the shipping time. I have a friend who is in NY right now and will be back to Brazil on April 5, and he said that he could bring the device.
I looked on Amazon and Ebay, and tried to contact sellers in hope that they could deliver the product in NY in a shorter time, but I didn't have success yet.
And thanks a lot daLareid, for all the attention, help and support!

Oh I understand now, some of the sellers on ebay might offer paid shipping which would meaning receiving the item faster. But if you can settle for a regular S7 Edge with 1 SIM then your best bet would probably be to have your friend buy it from B&H.
